A technique for estimating seed production of common moist soil plants
Murray K. Laubhan
1992, Report, Waterfowl Management Handbook
Seeds of native herbaceous vegetation adapted to germination in hydric soils (i.e., moist-soil plants) provide waterfowl with nutritional resources including essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that occur only in small amounts or are absent in other foods. These elements are essential for waterfowl to successfully complete aspects of...

Enhancement and integration of airborne gamma-ray spectrometric and Landsat imagery for regolith mapping — Cape York Peninsula
J. R. Wilford, C. F. Pain, J. C. Dohrenwend
1992, Exploration Geophysics (23) 441-445
Airborne gamma-ray spectrometric data (400-m line spacing), gathered for the National Geoscience Mapping Accord North Queensland Project, has proved invaluable for differentiating regolith types based on their potassium, thorium and uranium signatures. The ability of the gamma-ray signal to penetrate the vegetation cover and as much as 40 cm below...
Topographic mapping
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1992, Report
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) produced its first topographic map in 1879, the same year it was established. Today, more than 100 years and millions of map copies later, topographic mapping is still a central activity for the USGS. The topographic map remains an indispensable tool for government, science, industry,...
A new subspecies of Chamaea fasciata (Wrentit) from Oregon (Aves: Timaliinae)
M. Ralph Browning
1992, Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington (105) 414-419
Geographic variation in plumage color of Chamaea fasciata (Wrentit) from northern California and southern Oregon is related to climate. A new subspecies, Chamaea fasciata margra, is described from a disjunct population of southern interior Oregon. Colonization of C. fasciata in interior Oregon was perhaps from birds crossing coniferous...

Partially melted granodiorite and related rocks ejected from Crater Lake caldera, Oregon
Charles R. Bacon
1992, Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (83) 27-47
Blocks of medium-grained granodiorite to 4 m, and minor diabase, quartz diorite, granite, aplite and granophyre, are common in ejecta of the ∼6,900 yrBP calderaforming eruption of Mount Mazama. The blocks show degrees of melting from 0–50 vol%. Because very few have adhering juvenile magma, it is thought that the...

Use of remote sensing and GIS to identify Flamingo habitat in the Argentine Altiplano
Susan C. Boyle, Roger M. Hoffer, Terence P. Boyle, Enrique H. Bucher
1992, Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America (73)
The Argentine altiplano is a remote area which has never been adequately mapped. It is an arid region with harsh climate, little vegetation, sparse population, and an average elevation of over 3,500 feet. Little is known about the large populations of three species of flamingos which nest and...
Variations in the reflectivity of the moho transition zone beneath the Midcontinent Rift System of North America: results from true amplitude analysis of GLIMPCE data
Deborah R. Hutchinson, Myung W. Lee, John C. Behrendt, William F. Cannon, Adrian G. Mann
1992, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (97) 4721-4737
True amplitude processing of The Great Lakes International Multidisciplinary Program on Crustal Evolution seismic reflection data from the Midcontinent Rift System of North America shows large differences in the reflectivity of the Moho transition zone beneath the axial rift, beneath the rift flanks, and outside of the rift. The Moho...
Source region of a granite batholith: Evidence from lower crustal xenoliths and inherited accessory minerals
Calvin F. Miller, John M. Hanchar, Joseph L. Wooden, Victoria C. Bennett, T. Mark Harrison, David A. Wark, David A. Foster
1992, Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh (83) 49-62
Like many granites, the Late Cretaceous intrusives of the eastern Mojave Desert, California, have heretofore provided useful but poorly focused images of their source regions. New studies of lower crustal xenoliths and inherited accessory minerals are sharpening these images.Xenoliths in Tertiary dykes in this region are the residues of an...

Calibration of the latest Eocene-Oligocene geomagnetic polarity time scale using 40 Ar/ 39 Ar dated ignimbrites
W. C. McIntosh, J. W. Geissman, C.E. Chapin, Michael J. Kunk, Christopher D. Henry
1992, Geology (20) 459-463
A discontinuous record of late Eocene-Oligocene geomagnetic polarity has been determined using high-precision (±<0.15 m.y.) 40Ar/39Ar sanidine dating and a paleomagnetic study of 37-27 Ma ignimbrites in New Mexico, Colorado, and Texas. This record provides age control for several geomagnetic polarity reversals that occurred during three periods of intense ignimbrite volcanism:...
