Hydrogeology and ground-water flow in the Edwards-Trinity aquifer-system, west-central, Texas
Eve L. Kuniansky, Ann F. Ardis
1997, Professional Paper 1421-C
Two finite-element ground-water flow models were developed for the Edwards–Trinity aquifer system, west-central Texas, to gain a better understanding of the flow system; one ground-water flow model was developed at a large scale to simulate the regional system and contiguous, hydraulically connected units, and one model was constructed at a...
Effective number of breeding adults in Bufo bufo estimated from age-specific variation at minisatellite loci
K.T. Scribner, J.W. Arntzen, T. Burke
1997, Molecular Ecology (6) 701-712
Estimates of the effective number of breeding adults were derived for three semi-isolated populations of the common toad Bufo bufo based on temporal (i.e. adult-progeny) variance in allele frequency for three highly polymorphic minisatellite loci. Estimates of spatial variance in allele frequency among populations and of age-specific measures of genetic variability are...

Reworking of aggraded debris fans by the 1996 controlled flood on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
Robert H. Webb, T.S. Melis, Peter G. Griffiths, J. G. Elliott
1997, Open-File Report 97-16
Debris flows from 600 tributaries in Grand Canyon periodically deposit poorly sorted sediment on debris fans along the Colorado River between Lakes Powell and Mead. Before regulation, stable fans and rapids along the river resulted from the interaction of tributary debris flows and large, mainstem floods. Floods in the Colorado...
