Storm impact scale for barrier islands
A. H. Sallenger Jr.
2000, Journal of Coastal Research (16) 890-895
A new scale is proposed that categorizes impacts to natural barrier islands resulting from tropical and extra-tropical storms. The proposed scale is fundamentally different than existing storm-related scales in that the coupling between forcing processes and the geometry of the coast is explicitly included. Four regimes, representing different levels of...

Orphan caribou, Rangifer tarandus, calves: A re-evaluation of overwinter survival data
Kyle Joly
2000, Canadian Field-Naturalist (114) 322-323
Low sample size and high variation within populations reduce power of statistical tests. These aspects of statistical power appear to have affected an analysis comparing overwinter survival rates of non-orphan and orphan Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) calves by an earlier study for the Porcupine Caribou Herd. A re-evaluation of the data...
Iron and aluminum hydroxysulfates from acid sulfate waters
J.M. Bigham, D. Kirk Nordstrom
2000, Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry (40) 351-403
Acid sulfate waters are produced mostly by the oxidation of common sulfide minerals such as pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, and marcasite in rocks, soils, sediments, and industrial wastes. This spontaneous process of mineral weathering plays a fundamental role in the supergene alteration of ore deposits, the formation of acid sulfate soils,...
