Earthquake damage to transportation systems
Heather McCullough
1994, Report
Earthquakes represent one of the most destructive natural hazards known to man. A large magnitude earthquake near a populated area can affect residents over thousands of square kilometers and cause billions of dollars in property damage. Such an event can kill or injure thousands of residents and disrupt...
National standards and guidelines for pesticides in water, sediment, and aquatic organisms
L.H. Nowell, E.A. Resek
1994, Book chapter, Reviews of environmental contamination and toxicology
The effects of pesticides1 on water quality commonly are assessed by comparing measured concentrations of individual pesticide compounds in the environment with concentrations that have been determined to have potential adverse effects on humans, aquatic organisms, or other beneficial uses of water. Direct evaluation of the adverse effects of every pesticide...
What we know and don't know about amphibian declines in the West
Paul Stephen Corn
1994, Report, Sustainable ecological systems: implementing an ecological approach to land management
The problem of declining amphibian species is thought to be particularly acute in western North America, but there are many gaps in our knowledge. Although several declines have been well-documented, other declines are anecdotal or hypothesized. Most documented declines are of ranid frogs or toads (Bufo). Species from montane habitats...
Kalpin transpression tectonics, northwestern Tarim Basin, western China
Huafu Lu, David G. Howell, Dong Jia, Dongsheng Cai, Shimin Wu, Chuming Chen, Yangshen Shi, Zenon C. Valin, Lirh Guo
1994, International Geology Review (36) 975-981
The paper examines the relative importance of strike-slip faulting and lateral crustal deformations in the geologic structure of a portion of the western People's Republic of China. Deformed thrust sheets in the Kalpin area of the western PRC suggest large-scale sinistral strike-slip movement on the Aheqi fault zone along the...
Earthquake damage to schools
Heather McCullough
1994, Report
These unusual slides show earthquake damage to school and university buildings around the world. They graphically illustrate the potential danger to our schools, and to the welfare of our children, that results from major earthquakes. The slides range from Algeria, where a collapsed school roof is held up...
Straight-line drift fences and pitfall traps
Paul Stephen Corn
1994, Book chapter, Measuring and monitoring biological diversity: standard methods for amphibians
Straight-line drift fences typically are short barriers (5-15 m) that direct animals traveling on the substrate surface into traps places at the ends of or beside the barriers. Traps (described below) can be pitfalls, funnel traps, or a combination of the two. Drift fences with pitfall or funnel traps and...

Evaluation of the mussel fishery in Wheeler Reservoir, Tennessee River
Zack H. Bowen, S. P. Malvestuto, W. D. Davies, J. H. Crance
1994, Journal of Freshwater Ecology (9) 313-316
We evaluated the freshwater mussel fishery on Wheeler Reservoir, a 27,155-hectare mainstream impoundment of the Tennessee River in Alabama. During July 1991 through June 1992, we used a roving creel survey to conduct 285 interviews over 57 weekdays and 12 weekend days. Total harvest during the 12-month survey period was...
