1999, Fact Sheet 035-99
North Dakota prairies contain numerous wetlands. The complex functions of these prairie wetlands have been of interest for decades. The hydrology, water chemistry, and biological characteristics of these wetlands are highly variable because of extreme warm/cold and wet/dry conditions. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been conducting studies (fig. 1)...

Rice pesticide concentrations in the Colusa Basin Drain and the Sacramento River, California, 1990-1993
Kathryn L. Crepeau, Kathryn M. Kuivila
1999, Journal of Environmental Quality (29) 926-935
The pesticides molinate, thiobencarb, and carbofuran are applied to rice (Oryza sativa L.) fields in the Sacramento Valley, California, each year during April through June. These pesticides are of concern because of their adverse effects on water quality and their potential adverse effects on aquatic life. Therefore, the California Regional...

Mars Pathfinder successfully landed at Ares Vallis on July 4, 1997, deployed and navigated a small rover about 100 m clockwise around the lander, and collected data from three science instruments and ten technology experiments. The mission operated for three months and returned 2.3 Gbits of data, including over 16,500...
Environmental characteristics and water quality of hydrologic benchmark network stations in the Eastern United States, 1963-95

1999, Circular 1173-A
The information in this report was compiled to aid in the application and interpretation of historical water-quality data collected as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Benchmark Network program, which was established in 1963 to provide long-term measurements of streamflow and water quality in areas that are minimally affected...
Fire and aquatic ecosystems in forested biomes of North America
R. E. Gresswell
1999, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (128) 193-221
Synthesis of the literature suggests that physical, chemical, and biological elements of a watershed interact with long‐term climate to influence fire regime, and that these factors, in concordance with the postfire vegetation mosaic, combine with local‐scale weather to govern the trajectory and magnitude of change following a fire event. Perturbation...
Integrating surface and borehole geophysics in ground water studies: An example using electromagnetic soundings in south Florida
Frederick Paillet, Laura Hite, Matthew Carlson
1999, Journal of Environmental & Engineering Geophysics (4) 45-55
Time domain surface electromagnetic soundings, borehole induction logs, and other borehole logging techniques are used to construct a realistic model for the shallow subsurface hydraulic properties of unconsolidated sediments in south Florida. Induction logs are used to calibrate surface induction soundings in units of pore water salinity by correlating water...

Imma Ferrar, Damia Barcelo, E.M. Thurman
1999, Analytical Chemistry (71) 1009-1015
Phenylurea and triazine herbicides, including some metabolites, were isolated from water and soil extracts by solid-phase extraction using a layered system of two extraction disks, a method called double-disk solid-phase extraction. The first disk consisted of strong anion exchange (SAX) of 10-μm styrene divinylbenzene (SDB) particles embedded in Teflon, and...
Stable isotopes and mineral resource investigations in the United States
Robert R. Seal, II
1999, Report
The elements oxygen, hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon are important constituents of hydrothermal ore-forming systems and the weathering processes of mineral deposits in the surficial environment. They also play key roles in volcanic activity, ecosystem dynamics, climate change, and hydrologic and atmospheric processes. Therefore, study of the stable isotopes of these...
