Isolation, growth, and metabolism of an obligately anaerobic, selenate- respiring bacterium, strain SES-3
Ronald S. Oremland, Jodi S. Blum, Charles W. Culbertson, P.T. Visscher, Laurence G. Miller, P. Dowdle, F.E. Strohmaier
1994, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (60) 3011-3019
A gram-negative, strictly anaerobic, motile vibrio was isolated from a selenate-respiring enrichment culture. The isolate, designated strain SES-3, grew by coupling the oxidation of lactate to acetate plus CO2 with the concomitant reduction of selenate to selenite or of nitrate to ammonium. No growth was observed on sulfate or selenite, but...
Channelized subglacial drainage over a deformable bed
J. S. Walder, A. Fowler
1994, Journal of Glaciology (40) 3-15
We develop theoretically a description of a possible subglacial drainage mechanism for glaciers and ice sheets moving over saturated, deformable till. The model is based on the plausible assumption that flow of water in a thin film at the ice-till interface is unstable to the formation of a channelized drainage...
Effects of flow duration on local scour at bridge piers in New York
Gerard K. Butch, Richard Lumia
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
The relation of local scour to the duration of high flows and other hydraulic properties is being studied at 31 bridge sites in New York State. Clear-water scour is common at most of the sites, and local-scour holes that formed during prolonged high flows did not refill during flow recessions....

What is the Alaska Volcano Observatory?
Christina A. Neal, Mike Doukas
1994, Fact Sheet 071-94
Explosive eruptions from Alaska's more than 40 active volcanoes pose a significant and recurring threat to communities, commerce, and aircraft in the north Pacific. The Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) was established in 1988 to carry out volcano monitoring, eruption notification, volcanic hazard assessments, and volcano research in Alaska. Effective notifications...

Seasonal and annual survival of emperor geese
Joel A. Schmutz, Susan E. Cantor, Margaret R. Petersen
1994, Journal of Wildlife Management (58) 525-535
Population levels of emperor geese (Chen canagica) in Alaska in 1993 were about half that estimated in the 1960s. Survival information is necessary for managers to decide how to best enhance recovery of this species to former levels. We calculated seasonal and annual estimates of emperor goose survival from resightings...

Blood sampling in juvenile buff-breasted sandpipers: Movement, weight change and survival
Richard B. Lanctot
1994, Journal of Field Ornithology (65) 534-542
The effect of blood sampling on juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpipers (Tryngites subruficollis) was evaluated by comparing movements, mass, and survival of 10 broods (37 chicks) that were bled and eight broods (31 chicks) that were not bled. Blood was sampled from the jugular vein of chicks when they weighed 9.1 ±...
Revised correlation chart of coal beds, coal zones, and key stratigraphic units in the Pennsylvanian rocks of eastern Kentucky

This report revises Miscellaneous Field Studies Map MF-1188 (Rice and Smith, 1980). Major revisions to the original correlation chart include formal naming of key marine units in Kentucky and replacement of informally named marine units incorrectly projected into Kentucky from adjacent states. Also included in the report is the proper...

Breeding patterns and reproductive success of California sea otters
Marianne L. Riedman, James A. Estes, Michelle M. Staedler, Alisa A. Giles, David R. Carlson
1994, Journal of Wildlife Management (58) 391-399
Following commercial exploitation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, sea otter (Enhydra lutris) populations in Alaska, British Columbia, and Washington recovered at 17-20% a year, yet the California population increased at only 5% a year. This slow rate of increase is perplexing, given that unoccupied and apparently favorable habitats occur...
