Historic channel change along Soldier Creek, northeast Kansas
Kyle E. Juracek
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4047
To assess historical channel change along Soldier Creek, northeast Kansas, available information from eight U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations was analyzed. At each gaging station, channel change was assessed using channel-bed elevation as the primary indicator variable. Changes in channel-bed elevation were inferred from changes in the stage associated with...

Jeffrey D. Martin
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4178
Field replicate water samples (“field replicates”) collected for the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program during 1992 to 1997 were used to assess the variability of pesticide detections and concentrations in environmental water samples collected from the surface-and ground-water-quality networks of the NAWQA Program. Field replicates are two...

2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4185
The U.S. Geological Survey monitored eight stream sites in the Flint River Basin during the period January 1999 through May 2000, to characterize patterns in the occurrence of pesticides, fecal-indicator bacteria, and nutrients in relation to season and streamflow conditions and to land-use patterns. This study is part of the...

Evaluating behavior of oxygen, nitrate, and sulfate during recharge and quantifying reduction rates in a contaminated aquifer
Jennifer T. McGuire, David T. Long, Michael J. Klug, Sheridan K. Haack, David W. Hyndman
2002, Environmental Science & Technology (36) 2993-2700
This study evaluates the biogeochemical changes that occur when recharge water comes in contact with a reduced aquifer. It specifically addresses (1) which reactions occur in situ, (2) the order in which these reactions will occur if terminal electron acceptors (TEAs) are introduced simultaneously, (3) the rates of these reactions,...
Black carbon from the Mississippi river: Quantities, sources, and potential implications for the global carbon cycle
Siddhartha Mitra, Thomas S. Bianchi, Brent A. McKee, Martha Sutula
2002, Environmental Science and Technology (36) 2296-2302
Black carbon (BC) may be a major component of riverine carbon exported to the ocean, but its flux from large rivers is unknown. Furthermore, the global distribution of BC between natural and anthropogenic sources remains uncertain. We have determined BC concentrations in suspended sediments of the Mississippi River, the 7th...

Determination of methyl mercury by aqueous phase ethylation, followed by gas chromatographic separation with cold vapor atomic fluorescence detection
John F. De Wild, Mark L. Olsen, Shane D. Olund
2002, Open-File Report 2001-445
A recent national sampling of streams in the United States revealed low methyl mercury concentrations in surface waters. The resulting median and mean concentrations, calculated from 104 samples, were 0.06 nanograms per liter (ng/L) and 0.15 ng/L, respectively. This level of methyl mercury in surface water in the United States...

2002, Open-File Report 2002-73
A swarm of 12 widely felt earthquakes occurred between August 28 and September 21, 2001, in the area west of the town of Trinidad, Colorado. The earthquakes ranged in magnitude between 2.8 and 4.6, and the largest event occurred on September 5, eight days after the initial M 3.4...
Fate of carbon in Alaskan Landscapes Project: Database for soils from eddy covariance tower sites, Delta Junction, AK
Stagg King, Jennifer Harden, Kristen L. Manies, Jennie Munster, L. Douglas White
2002, Open-File Report 2002-62
Soils in Alaska, and in high latitude terrestrial ecosystems in general, contain significant amounts of organic carbon, most of which is believed to have accumulated since the start of the Holocene about 10 ky before present. High latitude soils are estimated to contain 30-40% of terrestrial soil carbon (Melillo et...

Historical trends in U.S. mineral statistics for selected non-ferrous metals
David Z. Piper, Warren J. Nokleberg
2002, Open-File Report 2002-29
Production figures for selected nonferrous metals-aluminum (including bauxite and alumina), copper, lead, tin, titanium, and zinc-by the United States, as well as other statistics for these commodities, show strong volatility during 20th century. Major shifts were driven by the Great Depression and the two World Wars, but other major temporal...
Arsenic in rocks and stream sediments of the central Appalachian Basin, Kentucky
Michele L.W. Tuttle, Martin B. Goldhaber, Leslie F. Ruppert, James C. Hower
2002, Open-File Report 2002-28
Arsenic (As) enrichment in coal and stream sediments has been documented in the southern Appalachian basin (see Goldhaber and others, submitted) and is attributed to interaction of rocks and coal with metamorphic fluids generated during the Allegheny Orogeny (late Paleozoic). Similarly derived fluids are expected to affect the coal and...
