Map showing depth to bedrock of the Tacoma and part of the Centralia 30' x 60' quadrangles, Washington
Jane M. Buchanan-Banks, Donley S. Collins
1994, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2265
The heavily populated Puget Sound region in the State of Washington has experienced moderate to large earthquakes in the recent past (Nuttli, 1952; Mullineaux and others, 1967). Maps showing thickness of unconsolidated sedimentary deposits are useful aids in delineating areas where damage to engineered structures can result from increased shaking...

Conodont color alteration index (CAI) map and conodont-based age determinations for the Winchester 30' x 60' Quadrangle and adjacent area, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland
Anita G. Harris, Nancy R. Stamm, David J. Weary, John E. Repetski, Robert G. Stamm, Ronald A. Parker
1994, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2239
Most of the conodont data presented in this report (table 1) were acquired to support 1:100,000-scale geologic mapping of the Winchester 30' X 60' quadrangle by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Conodonts were chosen to provide a biostratigraphic framework for the Upper Cambrian to Mississippian marine carbonate rocks that make...
Geologic map of the Krumbo Reservoir Quadrangle, Harney County, Southeastern Oregon
Jenda A. Johnson
1994, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2267
The Krumbo Reservoir 7.5-minute quadrangle encompasses parts of the Blitzen Valley and northwestern flank of Steens Mountain in the Basin and Range physiographic province of southeastern Oregon (fig. 1). The entire map area is underlain by a bimodal assemblage of middle and upper Miocene olivine basalt flows and rhyolite ash-flow...
Temporal variability of shoreline positions and coastal wetlands along lower Green Bay, Oconto and Brown counties, Wisconsin
Gerald L. Shideler
1994, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2254
The positions of shorelines and the areal extent of adjacent coastal wetland tracts in the Great Lakes region have exhibited substantial temporal variability during both prehistoric and historical times. Shoreline migration has resulted in environmental problems such as flooding and the coastal erosion of lakefront property, as well as the...

Diet affects body composition of chinook salmon
B. Lellis
1994, Research Information Bulletin 67
Hatchery-reared salmonids often contain proportionally greater amounts of body lipid (storage fat) and proportionally lesser amounts of body protein (muscle) and ash (bone) than do their wild counterparts of equal size. The effect of body composition on postrelease survival and subsequent return of mature adults is presently unknown. High lipid...

Rainbow smelt - larval lake herring interactions: competitors or casual acquaintances?
James H. Selgeby, Wayne R. MacCallum, Michael H. Hoff
1994, Biological Report 25
We examined the hypothesis that competition for food between rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax) and larval lake herring (Coregonus artedi) was a cause for the declines of lake herring stocks in Lake Superior. We studied the diet of larval lake herring and of larval, juvenile, and adult rainbow smelt during...

The state of Lake Superior in 1992
Michael J. Hansen
1994, Special Publication 94-1
The Lake Superior fish community in 1992 is substantially different than it was a half century ago and is far from a state desired by management agencies. Fish-community objectives were established for Lake Superior in response to A Joint Strategic Plan for Management of Great Lakes Fisheries (Great Lakes...

Pore-water extraction from unsaturated tuff by triaxial and one-dimensional compression methods, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
Timothy E. Mower, Jerry D. Higgins, In C. Yang, Charles A. Peters
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4144
Study of the hydrologic system at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, requires the extraction of pore-water samples from welded and nonwelded, unsaturated tuffs. Two compression methods (triaxial compression and one-dimensional compression) were examined to develop a repeatable extraction technique and to investigate the effects of the extraction method on the original pore-fluid...
Annotated bibliography of selected references on ground-water resources and geohydrology of the Louisville area, Kentucky, 1944-93

Predation by dipteran larvae on fairy shrimp (Crustacea: Anostraca) in Utah rock pools
T. B. Graham
1994, Southwestern Naturalist (39) 206-207
A series of experiments examined how ecological factors affect notonectid foraging success on fairy shrimp. Variation in pond depth over natural ranges had no direct effect on notonectid ability to capture fairy shrimp. Decreases in water clarity over natural ranges led to decreased notonectid ability to capture fairy shrimp. This...

Meteorologic and physiographic factors in parts of Texas combine to produce some of the most intense rainstorms in the Nation; these rainstorms cause severe, destructive floods somewhere in the State almost every year. A recent example is the catastrophic flooding in the Houston area in October 1994 that resulted in...
