Joe B. Fletcher, T. Fumal, Hsi-Ping Liu, L.C. Carroll
1990, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (80) 807-831
To investigate near-surface site effects in granite rock, we drilled 300-m-deep boreholes at two sites which are collocated with stations from the digital array at Anza, California. The first borehole was sited at station KNW (Keenwild fire station), which is located along a ridge line about 8.7 km east of...
A parabolic function to modify Thornthwaite estimates of potential evapotranspiration for the eastern United States
G. J. McCabe Jr.
1989, Physical Geography (10) 176-189
The Thornthwaite potential evapotranspiration model is well known and widely used, but has received some criticism as it is primarily based on air temperature to estimate potential evapotranspiration. Errors of the Thornthwaite model can be analyzed using adjusted pan evaporation as an index of potential evapotranspiration. An examination of ratios of adjusted pan...
Constraints on the Anadarko Basin-Wichita uplift boundary interpreted from aeromagnetic data
Meridee Jones-Cecil, Anthony J. Crone
1989, Book chapter, Anadarko Basin symposium, 1988 (Circular 90)
Modeling and interpretation of aeromagnetic data across the transition between the Anadarko basin and the Wichita uplift in the vicinity of the scarp on the Meers fault (Fig. 1) constrains structural relationships and lithologic contrasts at this boundary. We digitized aeromagnetic data from the map based on a detailed survey...

William J. Perry Jr.
1989, Book chapter, Anadarko Basin symposium, 1988 (Circular 90)
Field investigations in the Lake Classen-Turner Falls, Oklahoma, area of the northern Arbuckle anticline, on the southeastern margin of the Anadarko basin, indicate that transpressional (oblique compressional) deformation of Late Pennsylvanian age dominated the structural development of this area. The Arbuckle anticline is detached along the NW -trending, SW -dipping,...
Horizontal stresses from well-bore breakouts and lithologies associated with their formation, Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle
Richard L. Dart
1989, Book chapter, Anadarko Basin symposium, 1988 (Circular 90)
Orientations of crustal stresses are inferred from stress-induced well-bore breakouts in three areas in the south-central United States: the eastern part of the Anadarko basin in central Oklahoma, the Marietta basin in south-central Oklahoma, and the Bravo dome area of the central Texas Panhandle. Inferred directions of maximum horizontal principal...

Thaddeus S. Dyman
1989, Book chapter, Anadarko Basin symposium, 1988 (Circular 90)
Desmoinesian sandstones from the northern Oklahoma platform and the Anadarko, Arkoma, and Ardmore basins record a complex interaction between mid-Pennsylvanian source-area tectonism and cyclic sedimentation patterns associated with numerous transgressions and regressions. Framework-grain summaries for 50 thin sections from sandstones of the Krebs, Cabaniss, and Marmaton Groups and their surface...

J. J. Fitzpatrick, D.R. Muhs
1989, Antarctic Journal of the United States (24) 63-65
During the 1987-1988 austral summer field season, membersof the south party of the antarctic search for meteorites south-ern team* working in the Lewis Cliff/Colbert Hills region dis-covered several areas of unusual mineralization within theLewis Cliff ice tongue and its associated moraine field (figure1). The Lewis Cliff ice tongue (84°15'S 161°25'E)...
The style of late Cenozoic deformation at the eastern front of the California Coast Ranges
Carl M. Wentworth, Mark D. Zoback
1989, Tectonics (8) 237-246
The 1983 Coalinga earthquake occurred at the eastern boundary of the California Coast Ranges in response to northeast directed thrusting. Such movements over the past 2 Ma have produced Coalinga anticline by folding above the blind eastern tip of the Coalinga thrust zone. The 600-km length of the Coast Ranges...
Taconic plate kinematics as revealed by foredeep stratigraphy, Appalachian orogen
D. C. Bradley
1989, Tectonics (8) 1037-1049
Destruction of the Ordovician passive margin of eastern North America is recorded by an upward deepening succession of carbonates, shales, and flysch. A compilation of the age of shelf drowning (carbonate-to-shale transition) reveals the degree to which orogeny was diachronous both across and along strike. Shelf drowning occurred first at...

1989, Canadian Journal of Zoology (67) 385-390
The effects of small clearcuts (1 - 8 ha) on avian communities in the forest of eastern Maine were studied using point counts during spring 1978 - 1981. Surveys were conducted in uncut (control) and clear-cut (treatment) plots in three stand types: conifer, hardwood, and mixed growth. We...

1989, Wildlife Society Bulletin (17) 379-406
1. The purpose of our review was to examine available data on population trends and current status of black ducks and trends in natality and survival and to relate these, where possible, to changes in habitat, predation, disease, contaminants, harvest, and hybridization with mallards. 2. The number of black...
Population declines in North American birds that migrate to the neotropics
C.S. Robbins, J.R. Sauer, R.S. Greenberg, Sam Droege
1989, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (86) 7658-7662
Using data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey, we determined that most neotropical migrant bird species that breed in forests of the eastern United States and Canada have recently (1978-1987) declined in abundance after a period of stable or increasing populations. Most permanent residents and temperate-zone migrants did...

Effects of the 1986 drought on streamflow in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia
Timothy W. Hale, Evelyn H. Hopkins, Robert F. Carter
1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4212
A severe drought in the Southeastern United States during 1986 resulted in the lowest flows of record for many streams. Minimum flows in many streams occurred in mid-summer, several months earlier in the year than the minimums that occurred during notable regional droughts of 1954 and 1981. Streamflow data for...

P. B. Davies
1989, Open-File Report 88-490
Variable-density groundwater flow was studied near the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in southeastern New Mexico. An analysis of the relative magnitude of pressure-related and density-related flow-driving forces indicates that density-related gravity effects are not significant at the plant and to the west but are significant in areas to the north,...
