Contribution of fish community metrics to the index of biotic integrity in two Ozark rivers
Nancy J. Hoefs, Terence P. Boyle
1992, Ecological Indicators (1) 283-303
Flow regime, energy source, water quality, and habitat structure within stream systems play major roles in controlling the structure of resident fish communities (Gorman and Karr, 1978; Karr and Dudley, 1981; Schlosser, 1982). Based on the hypothesis that there are predictable relationships between stream variables and fish community structure, overall...

Growth of grain contacts in halite by solution-transfer: Implications for diagenesis, lithification, and strength recovery
Stephen H. Hickman, Brian Evans
1992, International Geophysics (51) 253-280
Lithification of a sediment to form a rock may involve cementation, diagenetic reactions, or compaction under load. In these experiments, convex halite lenses were pressed against fiat halite plates at 50° C in a specially designed microscope stage. A saturated brine...

A reassessment of the role of tidal dispersion in estuaries and bays
W. Rockwell Geyer, Richard P. Signell
1992, Estuaries (15) 97-108
The role of tidal dispersion is reassessed, based on a consideration of the relevant physical mechanisms, particularly those elucidated by numerical simulations of tide-induced dispersion. It appears that the principal influence of tidal currents on dispersion occurs at length scales of the tidal excursion and smaller; thus the effectiveness of...

Frictional strength and the effective pressure law of montmorillonite and illite clays
C. Morrow, B. Radney, J. Byerlee
1992, International Geophysics (51) 69-88
Low-strength clay minerals are a common constituent of fault gouges, and are often cited as a possible explanation for the low ambient shear stresses along the San Andreas fault inferred from heat flow constraints and in situ stress measurements. Montmorillonite, the weakest of the clay minerals, undergoes a gradual phase...

SeaMARC II mapping of transform faults in the Cayman Trough, Caribbean Sea
Eric Rosencrantz, Paul Mann
1992, Geology (19) 690-693
SeaMARC II maps of the southern wall of the Cayman Trough between Honduras and Jamaica show zones of continuous, well-defined fault lineaments adjacent and parallel to the wall, both to the east and west of the Cayman spreading axis. These lineaments mark the present, active traces of transform faults which...

Observations of quasistatic fault growth from acoustic emissions
David A. Lockner, J.D. Byerlee, V. Kuksenko, A. Ponomarev, A. Sidorin
1992, International Geophysics (51) 3-31
The location of acoustic emission (AE) sources during deformation of rock has proven to be a useful non-destructive analytic technique. We present experimental results,based on AE observations, that show the nucleation and growth of macroscopic fault planes in granite and sandstone samples. By controlling axial stress to maintain constant...

Individual Martian equatorial troughs are described, and their stratigraphy, geomorphology and structure are discussed. Possible origins and the overall sequence of events are addressed. Wall rock, interior layered deposits, irregular floor deposits, fractured floor material, and surficial deposits are examined. Chasma walls, wall stability, pits and pit chains, tributary canyons,...

Miocene intensification of upwelling along the California margin as recorded in siliceous facies of the Monterey Formation and offshore DSDP sites
Lisa D. White, Robert E. Garrison, John A. Barron

1992, Book chapter, Upwelling systems: Evolution Since the early Miocene
Diatomaceous sediments and their diagenetic equivalents in the Monterey Formation record a variable history of upwelling along the California margin. Distrinctive dark opal-CT and quartz chertz found in distal basins of the Monterey Formation are the result of burial diagenesis of pure biosiliceous oozes (biosiliceous oozes without significant admixtures of...
