Formation of regolith-collapse sinkholes in southern Illinois: Interpretation and identification of associated buried cavities
S.V. Panno, C.P. Wiebel, P.C. Heigold, P.C. Reed
1994, Environmental Geology (23) 214-220
Three regolith-collapse sinkholes formed near the Dongola Unit School and the Pentecostal Church in the southern Illinois village of Dongola (Union County) during the spring of 1993. The sinkholes appeared over a three-month period that coincided with development of a new municipal well. The new well was drilled through clay-rich,...
Navigating aerial transects with a laptop computer

1994, Wildlife Society Bulletin (22) 674-676
SUMMARY: A comparison is made of different methods of determining size of home range from grid trapping data. Studies of artificial populations show that a boundary strip method of measuring area and an adjusted range length give sizes closer to the true range than do minimum area or...
Spring sapping origin of the enigmatic relict valleys of Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Islands, Massachusetts
E. Uchupi, R. N. Oldale
1994, Geomorphology (9) 83-95
Steep-sided, flat-floored linear valleys that lack well developed tributaries and end in amphitheater-like heads are eroded on the outwash plains of Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Island. The valleys are restricted from the mid to the distal ends of the outwash...

Potential-field sounding using Euler's homogeneity equation and Zidarov bubbling
Lindrith Cordell
1994, Geophysics (59) 902-908
Potential-field (gravity) data are transformed into a physical-property (density) distribution in a lower half-space, constrained solely by assumed upper bounds on physical-property contrast and data error. A two-step process is involved. The data are first transformed to an equivalent set of line (2-D case) or point (3-D case) sources, using...
Geohydrology and saline ground-water discharge to the South Fork Ninnescah River in Pratt and Kingman Counties, south-central Kansas
Joe B. Gillespie, G.D. Hargadine
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4177
Saline ground water discharges to the South Fork Ninnescah River in Pratt and Kingman Counties from the adjacent alluvial aquifer. Electromagnetic terrain surveys in this area indicated that the saline ground water is entering the river in intermittent reaches along the channel. The chloride concentration in the river near Murdock...

Avian leucocyte counting using the hemocytometer
F. J. Dein, A. Wilson, D. Fischer, P. Langenberg
1994, Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine (25) 432-437
Automated methods for counting leucocytes in avian blood are not available because of the presence of nucleated erythrocytes and thrombocytes. Therefore, total white blood cell counts are performed by hand using a hemocytometer. The Natt and Herrick and the Unopette methods are the most common stain and diluent preparations for...

1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4018
Operation of the Garrison Diversion Unit may have some affect on the hydrology of the James River in North Dakota and South Dakota. The Garrison Diversion Unit Monthly Operations Model was developed to analyze a wide range of streamflow conditions that could occur in the James River Basin. The purpose...
Hydrogeology and aquifer test of the San Andres-Glorieta aquifer on the southwest part of the Zuni Indian Reservation, Cibola County, New Mexico
T. M. Crouch
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4033
A large-yield aquifer test of the confined San Andres-Glorieta aquifer was conducted in 1988 to estimate aquifer properties and evaluate the potential effects of large-scale development on the aquifer by pumping from a cave-fracture system on the southwest part of the Zuni Indian Reservation. The San Andres-Glorieta aquifer underlies...

Techniques for estimating the quantity and quality of storm runoff from urban watersheds of Jefferson County, Kentucky
R. D. Evaldi, B.L. Moore
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4023
Linear regression models are presented for estimating storm-runoff volumes, and mean con- centrations and loads of selected constituents in storm runoff from urban watersheds of Jefferson County, Kentucky. Constituents modeled include dissolved oxygen, biochemical and chemical oxygen demand, total and suspended solids, volatile residue, nitrogen, phosphorus and phosphate, calcium, magnesium,...

Change detection methods were investigated as a cooperative activity between the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, People's Republic of China. Subtraction of band 2, band 3, normalized difference vegetation index, and tasseled cap bands 1 and 2 data from two multispectral scanner images were...

Water-level changes in the High Plains aquifer -- Predevelopment to 1992
J. T. Dugan, T. J. McGrath, R. B. Zelt
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4027
Changes in water levels in the High Plains aquifet underlying parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming result from the variability of precipitation, land use, and ground-water withdrawals. From the beginning of development of the High Plains aquifer to 1980, water levels declined throughout...
Hydrogeology and hydrologic system of Pinal Creek Basin, Gila County, Arizona
C.C. Neaville, J. G. Brown
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4212
Acidic water that contains elevated concentrations of metals has contaminated a stream and alluvial aquifer in a mining district near Globe, Arizona. The contaminated aquifer is a narrow layer of unconsolidated alluvium along Miami Wash and Pinal Creek. The alluvium overlies basin fill, which extends throughout most of the...
