Quality of water in the St. Peter aquifer is generally acceptable for most uses. Sulfate concentrations increase toward the southwestern part of the aquifer because of highly mineralized leakage from overlying Cretaceous deposits. Concentrations of sodium, magnesium, and sulfate generally increase to the west, and those of calcium, bicarbonate, and...

Nevada - basic data for thermal springs and wells as recorded in Geotherm; Part A
James D. Bliss
1983, Open-File Report 83-433-A
GEOTHERM, a computerized information system now off-line, was used to maintain data on the geology, geochemistry and hydrology of geothermal sites primarily within the United States. The system was proposed at the First Geothermal Implementation Conference in New Zealand in 1974 (Swanson, 1977) and was active until 1983. The primary...

Tens of successive, colossal Missoula floods at north and east margins of channeled scabland
Richard B. Waitt
1983, Open-File Report 83-671
In deposits of Pleistocene glacial lakes in northern Idaho and Washington, beds comprising 20 to 55 varves (average = 35-40) separate each successive graded gravel or sand bed that was swiftly emplaced by a catastrophic flood from glacial Lake Missoula. The floodlaid beds are similar to rhythmic successions of 40...

Reworked Hantkenina speciments at Little Stave Creek, Alabama
Laurel M. Bybell, Richard Z. Poore
1983, Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies Transactions (33) 253-256
The Eocene-Oligocene boundary in Mississippi and Alabama has been traditionally placed between the Shubuta Member of the Yazoo Formation and the overlying Red Bluff Formation (or its carbonate facies equivalent, the Bumpnose Formation). Consequently, the presence of Eocene planktonic foraminifers in the Red Bluff and Bumpnose has long been attributed...

M. D. Crittenden Jr., N Christie-Blick, Paul K. Link
1983, Geological Society of America Bulletin (94) 437-450
A record of glaciation during late Proterozoic time is preserved in a number of localities extending from the Sheeprock Mountains, Utah, to Pocatello, Idaho, and from the Park City area 40 km east of Salt Lake City to the Deep Creek Range along the Utah-Nevada line. Over much of this...
Correlation of metamorphosed Paleozoic strata of the southeastern Mojave Desert region, California and Arizona
Paul Stone, Keith A. Howard, Warren Hamilton
1983, GSA Bulletin (94) 1135-1147
Isolated outcrops of deformed, regionally metamorphosed Paleozoic strata are scattered within the southeastern Mojave Desert region of California and western Arizona. These strata unconformably overlie a basement of Proterozoic crystalline rocks and are overlain in turn by metamorphosed Mesozoic sedimentary rocks. The strata can be correlated lithostratigraphically with the classic...

Richard N. Conner, James G. Dickson, Brian A. Locke, Charles A. Segelquist
1983, The Wilson Bulletin (95) 349-361
Multivariate studies of breeding bird communities have used principal component analysis (PCA) or several-group (three or more groups) discriminant function analysis (DFA) to ordinate bird species on vegetational continua (Cody 1968, James 1971, Whitmore 1975). In community studies, high resolution of habitat requirements for individual species is not always...

G.W. Leve
1983, Journal of Hydrology (61) 251-264
Geological and hydrological information on the Floridan aquifer in northeastern Florida indicates that isolated occurrences of water having relatively high chloride concentration in the upper part of the aquifer may be associated with buried faults. Water having chloride concentrations of more than 700 mg l−1 occurs in the deeper zone of...
