Estimated withdrawals and use of freshwater in New Hampshire, 1990
Laura Medalie, M.A. Horn
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4096
Estimated freshwater withdrawals during 1990 in New Hampshire totaled about 422 million gallons per day from ground-water and surface-water sources. The largest withdrawals were for thermoelectric-power generation (60 percent), public supply (23 percent), and industrial use (9 percent). Most withdrawals, 358 million gallons per day, were made from surface- water...

Evidence of contemporary and ancient excess fluid pressure in the New Madrid seismic zone of the Reelfoot Rift, central United States
F. A. McKeown, S. Diehl
1994, Professional Paper 1538-N
In the winter of 1811-12, three of the largest historic earthquakes in the United States occurred near New Madrid, Missouri. Seismicity continues to the present day throughout a tightly clustered pattern of epicenters centered on the bootheel of Missouri, including parts of northeastern Arkansas, northwestern Tennessee, western Kentucky, and southern...

Use of landsat thematic mapper data to identify crop types and estimate irrigated acreage, Uvalde and Medina counties, Texas, 1991
L.H. Raymond, S.I. McFarlane
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4233
Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data were used to estimate that about 51,000 acres of crops were irrigated with water pumped from the Edwards aquifer in Uvalde and Medina Counties, Texas in 1991. Bands 2, 3,4, and 5 from a TM image for August 10,1991, were classified using the maximum-likelihood, unsupervised-classification...
Landslide susceptibility in the Tully Valley area, Finger Lakes region, New York
Stefan Jager, Gerald E. Wieczorek
1994, Open-File Report 94-615
As a consequence of a large landslide in the Tully Valley, Onondaga County, New York, an investigation was undertaken to determine the factors responsible for the landslide in order to develop a model for regional landslide susceptibility. The April 27, 1993 Tully Valley landslide occurred within glacial lake clays overlain...
Annual yield and selected hydrologic data for the Arkansas River Basin Compact Arkansas-Oklahoma 1993 water year
J.E. Porter, C. Shane Barks
1994, Open-File Report 94-364
The computed annual yield and deficiency of the subbasins as defined in the Arkansas River Basin Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, are given in tables for the 1993 water year. Actual runoff from the subbasins and depletion caused by major reservoirs in the compact area also are given in tabular form. Monthly maximum,...

Permeability of soils in Mississippi
Charles G. O'Hara
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4088
The permeability of soils in Mississippi was determined and mapped using a geographic information system (GIS). Soil permeabilities in Mississippi were determined to range in value from nearly 0.0 to values exceeding 5.0 inches per hour. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service's State Soil Geographic Data Base (STATSGO) was used as...

Central San Francisco Bay suspended-sediment transport processes study and comparison of continuous and discrete measurements of suspended-solids concentrations
David H. Schoellhamer
1994, Report, 1993 Annual report, San Francisco Estuary Regional Monitoring Program for Trace Substances
Sediments are an important component of the San Francisco Bay estuarine system. Potentially toxic substances, such as metals and pesticides, adsorb to sediment particles. The sediments on the bottom of the Bay provide the habitat for benthic communities which can ingest these substances and introduce them into the food web....
The genetic diversity and epizootiology of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus
Kevin H. Oshima, Cindy K. Arakawa, Keith H. Higman, Marsha L. Landolt, Stuart T. Nichol, James R. Winton
1994, Virus Research (35) 123-141
Infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is a rhabdovirus which causes a serious disease in salmondd fish. The T1 ribonuclease fingerprinttin method was used to compare the RNA genomes of 26 isolates of IHNV recovered from sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka), chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and steelhead trout (O. mykiss) throughout the...

Biogenic silica in Lake Baikal sediments: results from 1990-1992 American cores
Susan J. Carter, Steven M. Colman
1994, Journal of Great Lakes Research (20) 751-760
The Lake Baikal Paleoclimate Project is a joint Russian-American program established to study the paleoclimate of Central Asia. During three summer field seasons, duplicate Russian and American cores were taken at a number of sites in different sedimentary environments in the lake. Eight cores returned to the U.S. were quantitatively...
210Pb balance and implications for particle transport on the continental shelf, U.S. Middle Atlantic Bight
M.P. Bacon, Rebecca A. Belastock, Michael H. Bothner
1994, Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography (41) 511-535
Supply of 210Pb to the continental shelf off the northeastern United States is dominated by the deposition from the atmosphere, the rate of which is reliably known from previously published work. Excess 210Pb inventories in the shelf sediments show accumulations that are nearly in balance with the supply, even in areas of...
Humic and fulvic acids: sink or source in the availability of metals to the marine bivalves Macoma balthica and Potamocorbula amurensis?
Alan W. Decho, Samuel N. Luoma
1994, Marine Ecology Progress Series (108) 133-145
Humic acids (HA) and fulvic acids (FA) are common forms of organic matter in marine sediments, and are routinely ingested by deposit- and suspension-feeding animals. These compounds may be a sink for metals, implying that once metals are bound to humic substances they are no longer available to food webs....
Coccidioidomycosis in southern sea otters
Nancy J. Thomas, Demosthenes Pappagianis, Lynn H. Creekmore, Ruth M. Duncan
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the fifth international conference on coccidioidomycosis
Disseminated coccidioidomycosis was diagnosed postmortem in six southern sea otters (Enhydra lutris nereis) found dying or dead along the Pacific Coast of California at San Luis Obispo County. These otters were found during winter or summer 1992, 1993, and 1994. Coccidioides immitis was identified by its morphology in tissue impression...
Measuring phenological variability from satellite imagery
Bradley C. Reed, Jesslyn F. Brown, D. Vanderzee, Thomas R. Loveland, James W. Merchant, Donald O. Ohlen
1994, Journal of Vegetation Science (5) 703-714
Vegetation phenological phenomena are closely related to seasonal dynamics of the lower atmosphere and are therefore important elements in global models and vegetation monitoring. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite sensor offer a means of...

Fossiliferous clay and sand belonging to calcareous nannofossil Zones NP 9 (latest Paleocene) and NP 10 (earliest Eocene) are widespread in the US Gulf and Atlantic Coastal Plains. Although the thickness of Zone NP 9-NP 10 strata is several times greater in the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain than in the...
