Continental diatoms as indicators of long-term environmental change
J. Platt Bradbury
1999, Book chapter, The diatoms: applications for the environmental and earth sciences
It is curious that diatoms, whose short lifespans and capacity for rapid regeneration make them especially suitable for short-term paleoenvironmental studies, would also have a significant role as indicators of long-term environmental change. This chapter explores the nature of long diatom records, their relation to global environmental changes, guidelines for...
Laramide to Holocene structural development of the northern Colorado Front Range
Eric A. Erslev, Karl S. Kellogg, Bruce Bryant, Timothy K. Ehrlich, Steven M. Holdaway, Charles W. Naeser
David R. Lageson, Alan Trudgill Lester Trudgill, Bruce, editor(s)
1999, Book chapter, Colorado and adjacent areas
The Rocky Mountain province of the United States is a classic basement-involved foreland orogen. Deformation during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene Laramide orogeny created an anastomosing system of basement-cored arches that bound the northern and eastern margins of the Colorado Plateau and the elliptical sedimentary basins of the Rockies. The...

Quantitative models for aggregate: some types and examples from Oklahoma carbonate rocks
James D. Bliss
1999, Book, Proceedings of the 34th Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals, 1998
Evaluation of data for three engineering variable--absorption, bulk specific gravity, and freeze-thaw durability (350 cycles)--was made for quarries in carbonate rocks in Oklahoma that supply aggregate. It was found that lower Palrozoic carbonate rocks (Cambrian through Devonian) are likely to make a better quality aggregate than upper Paleozoic (Mississippian to...
Influence of temperature and substrate on infection rate, triactinomyxon production, and release duration from eastern tubifex worms infected with Myxobolus cerebralis
Thomas Waldrop, Vicki Blazer, David Smith, Bane Schill, Christine Densmore
B. Schill, T. Waldrop, V. Blazer, editor(s)
1999, Book, 5th Annual Whirling Disease Symposium: Research and Management Perspectives
Salmonid whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis, a metazoan parasite with a two host life cycle involving salmonid fish a an aquatic oligochaete, Tubifex tubifex (Wolf, Markiw and Hiltunen, 1986). Whirling disease has been reported in 22 U.S. states with the greatest losses occurring in the salmonid fisheries...
Comparative analysis of multisensor satellite monitoring of Arctic sea-ice
G. I. Belchansky, Ilia N. Mordvintsev, David C. Douglas
1999, Book, Remote sensing of the system Earth: a challenge for the 21st century: IGARSS '99 Proceedings
This report represents comparative analysis of nearly coincident Russian OKEAN-01 polar orbiting satellite data, Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery. OKEAN-01 ice concentration algorithms utilize active and passive microwave measurements and a linear mixture model for measured values of the brightness temperature and...
Use Of limestone resources in flue-gas desulfurization power plants in the Ohio River Valley
M. P. Foose, A.F. Barsotti
1999, Book, Proceedings of the 34th Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals, 1998
In 1994, more than 41 of the approximately 160 coal-fired, electrical- power plants within the six-state Ohio River Valley region used flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) units to desulfurize their emissions, an approximately 100% increase over the number of plants using FGD units in 1989. This increase represents a trend that may...
U.S. Geological Survey's Mineral Resources Program activities in the Upper Midwest
Suzanne W. Nicholson
1999, Report
In the Upper Midwest, scientists of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Mineral Resources Program are conducting bedrock and surficial surveys, geophysical research, and mineral resource studies. Program scientists are working in conjunction with scientists from other divisions of the USGS and State and other Federal agencies in the region to...
Hydrogeologic structure of the Newark Basin, Pennsylvania, from borehole geophysical logs
R. H. Morin, L.A. Senior, E.R. Decker
B. Amadei, R.L. Kranz, G.A. Scott, P.H. Smeallie, editor(s)
1999, Book chapter, Rock Mechanics for Industry--Proceedings of the 37th U.S. Rock Mechanics Symposium
The Brunswick and the underlying Lockatong Formations are comprised of littrifled Mesozoic sediments that constitute part of the Newark Basin in southeastern Pennsylvania (USA). These fractured rocks form an important regional aquifer that consists of gmdational sequences of shale, siltstone, and sandstone, with fluid transport occurring primarily in fractures. An...

Maps of the World
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1999, Report
Because a map conveys information visually, it is often the best way to present facts about the size, shape, and appearance of our world and about the changes that people have imposed on the world. Some world maps show the mountains, rivers, oceans, and plains that make up the face...
Radiotracking large wilderness mammals: Integration of GPS and Argos technology
Charles C. Schwartz, Steve M. Arthur
1999, Ursus (11) 261-274
We tested 30 prototype global positioning system (GPS) radiocollars on brown bears (Ursus arctos) over a 3-year period on the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Collars were of 2 design types: GPS with an Argos (Argos Data collection and Location System) satellite uplink (n=19) and GPS unites where the data were stored...
Mechanical and thermal control of cleating and shearing in coal: examples from the Alabama coalbed methane field, USA
Jack Pashin, R.E. Carroll, Joseph R. Hatch, Martin B. Goldhaber
1999, Book chapter, Coalbed Methane: Scientific, Environmental and Economic Evaluation
Natural fractures provide most of the interconnected macroporosity in coal. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of these fractures and the associated mechanisms of formation is essential for effective coalbed methane exploration and field management. Natural fractures in coal can be divided into two general types: cleat and shear structures. Cleat has...
Preliminary effects of water hardness on triactinomyxon production and development from eastern tubifex worms infected with Myxobolus cerebralis
Thomas B. Waldrop, Christine Densmore, Vicki Blazer, Dave Smith, Bane Schill
B. Schill, T. Waldrop, V. Blazer, editor(s)
1999, Book, 5th Annual Whirling Disease Symposium: Research and Management Perspectives
Whirling disease is caused by Myxobolus cerebralis and requires an intermediate oligochaete host identified as Tubifex tubifex (Wolf, Markiw, and Hiltunen, 1986). M. cerebralis spores ingested by the tubifex worms develop into triactinomyxons (tams) that are eventually released into the water column to infect salmonid fish. There may...
