1994, Open-File Report 94-71
BACKGROUND In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began a National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) program. The long-term goals of the NAWQA program are to describe the status of, and trends in, the quality of a large, representative part of the Nation's surface- and ground-water resources and to identify the major natural...

Factors affecting accuracy of slope-area discharge determination of the September 1992 flood in Raven Fork, Western North Carolina
W. Harold Eddins, Thomas J. Zembrzuski Jr.
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
For the flood of September 10, 1992, in Raven Fork, Swain County, North Carolina, a peak discharge of 460 cubic meters per second was computed by using the slope-area method. Accuracy of this determination depends on suitability of the selected reach and, in particular, selection of Manning's roughness coefficients, interpretation...
Prediction of structural response to large earthquakes by using recordings from smaller earthquakes
Erdal Safak
1994, Conference Paper, Structures Congress XII
The feasibility of predicting structural response to large earthquakes by using recorded responses from collocated smaller earthquakes is investigated. Records from large earthquakes can be approximated as linear combinations of records from smaller earthquakes. Two methods are introduced to predict structural response to a large earthquake by using the recorded...
Emplacement and inflation of pahoehoe sheet flows: observations and measurements of active lava flows on Kilauea volcano, Hawaii
K. Hon, J. Kauahikaua, R. Denlinger, K. Mackay
1994, Geological Society of America Bulletin (106) 351-370
Inflated pahoehoe sheet flows have a distinctive horizontal upper surface, which can be several hundred meters across, and are bounded to steep monoclinal uplifts. The inflated sheet flows studied ranged from 1 to 5 m in thickness, but initially propagated as thin sheets of fluid pahoehoe lava, generally 20-30 cm...
Particulate, colloidal, and dissolved-phase associations of plutonium and americium in a water sample from well 1587 at the Rocky Flats Plant, Colorado
R.A. Harnish, Diane M. McKnight, James F. Ranville
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4175
In November 1991, the initial phase of a study to determine the dominant aqueous phases that control the transport of plutonium (Pu), americium (Am), and uranium (U) in surface and groundwater at the Rocky Flats Plant was undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey. By use of the techniques of stirred-cell...
Bathymetry of the west-central slope of the island of Hawaii

Leachate geochemistry at a municipal landfill, Memphis, Tennessee
June E. Mirecki, William S. Parks
1994, Groundwater (32) 390-398
A leachate plume emanating from the Shelby County Landfill located at Memphis, Tennessee is defined using selected major and trace inorganic constituents. High specific conductance values and elevated concentrations of ammonia, barium, boron, calcium, chloride, dissolved solids, potassium, sodium, and strontium were measured in water...

Holocene paleoecology of an estuary on Santa Rosa Island, California
K.L. Cole, Gaisheng Liu
1994, Quaternary Research (41) 326-335
The middle to late Holocene history and early Anglo-European settlement impacts on Santa Rosa Island, California, were studied through the analysis of sediments in a small estuarine marsh. A 5.4-m-long sediment core produced a stratigraphic and pollen record spanning the last 5200 yr. Three major zones are distinguishable in the...

Simulated circulation and transport in adjacent wind-driven estuaries in North Carolina

Spaulding Malcolm L.Bedford KeithBlumberg AlanCheng RalphSwanson Craig, editor(s)
1994, Conference Paper
The Pamlico and Neuse River estuaries, in North Carolina, display similar physical characteristics because of their proximity and physiographic setting. Yet, because of channel configuration and longitudinal alignment, differences in circulation and flushing exist. Spatially detailed hydrodynamic models were applied to each estuary to characterize these differences. The models were...
Dynamics of ovarian follicles in breeding ducks
Daniel Esler
1994, The Wilson Bulletin (106) 679-688
I quantified ovarian rapid follicle growth (RFG) and regression of postovulatory follicles of Northern Pintails (Anas acuta), American Wigeon (A. americana), and Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis) by a method that accounted for within-day variation in follicle size. Objective methods for identifying onset of RFG also are presented; this is crucial...

A review of lead poisoning in swans
L. J. Blus
1994, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology (108) 259-267
Nearly 10,000 swans of six species or subspecies from 14 countries have died from poisoning caused by lead that originated from ingestion of fishing weights, shotgun pellets (shot), or contaminated vegetation or sediments associated with mining and smelting wastes. Lead contamination in mute swans in England caused local population declines...
Life-history organization of Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki bouvieri) in Yellowstone Lake
Robert E. Gresswell, W.J. Liss, Gary L. Larson
1994, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (51) 298-309
Life-history organization of the cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) may be viewed at various levels, including species, subspecies, metapopulation, population, or individual. Each level varies in spatial scale and temporal persistence, and components at each level continually change with changes in environment. Cutthroat trout are widely distributed throughout the western United...
