Physical aspects of Hurricane Hugo in Puerto Rico
F.N. Scatena, Matthew C. Larsen
1991, Biotropica (23) 317-323
On 18 September 1989 the western part ofHurricane Hugo crossed eastern Puerto Rico and the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF). Storm-facing slopes on the northeastern part of the island that were within 15 km of the eye and received greater than 200 mm of rain were most affected by the storm....
Quasi-static fault growth and shear fracture energy in granite
D.A. Lockner, J.D. Byerlee, V. Kuksenko, A. Ponomarev, A. Sidorin
1991, Nature (350) 39-42
The failure process in a brittle granite sample can be stabilized by controlling axial stress to maintain a constant rate of acoustic emission. As a result, the post-failure stress curve can be followed quasistatically, extending to hours the fault growth process which normally would occur violently in a fraction of...

Spatial heterogeneity of mitochondrial DNA and allozymes among populations of white-tailed deer and mule deer
M. A. Cronin, M.E. Nelson, D.F. Pac
1991, Journal of Heredity (82) 118-127
A white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population in northeastern Minnesota and a mule deer (O. hemionus) population in the Bridger Mountains Montana, have previously been shown to be spatially subdivided into contiguous subpopulations. We assessed the degree of genetic differentiation among subpopulations and tested the hypothesis that differentiation will be greater...
Unified theory on power laws for flow resistance
Cheng-lung Chen
1991, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering (117) 371-389
Two general power formulas, one for hydraulically smooth flows and the other for fully rough flows, are derived in a rational way from the widely accepted logarithmic formulas for the velocity profile and the Darcy‐Weisbach friction factor. A regression analysis based on the method of least squares is used to...
Atmospheric deposition and solute export in giant sequoia: Mixed conifer watersheds in the Sierra Nevada, California
Thomas J. Stohlgren, John M. Melack, Anne M. Esperanza, David J. Parsons
1991, Biogeochemistry (12) 207-230
Atmospheric depostion and stream discharge and solutes were measured for three years (September 1984 — August 1987) in two mixed conifer watersheds in Sequoia National Park, in the southern Sierra Nevada of California. The Log Creek watershed (50 ha, 2067–2397 m elev.) is drained by a perennial stream, while Tharp's...
Slip rate, earthquake recurrence, and seismogenic potential of the Rodgers Creek Fault Zone, northern California: Initial results
Karin E. Budding, David P. Schwartz, David H. Oppenheimer
1991, Geophysical Research Letters (18) 447-450
Instrumental seismicity defines a seismic gap along the Rodgers Creek fault zone (RCFZ) between Santa Rosa and San Pablo Bay. Results of a paleoseismicity study within the gap, using offset channels in late Holocene alluvial deposits as piercing points, indicate a minimum slip rate of 2.1 to 5.8 mm/yr for the past...

Decreased survival of rainbow trout exposed to no. 2 fuel oil caused by sublethal preexposure
B. L. Steadman, W. A. Stubblefield, T. W. Lapoint, H.L. Bergman, M.S. Kaiser
1991, Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (10) 355-363
Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were exposed for 21 d to sublethal levels of No. 2 fuel oil (2FO). The four exposure concentrations ranged from 12 to 100 mg/L 2FO dispersed in water and resulted in 0 to 12% mortality. Following this exposure period (preexposure) the ability of preexposed trout to...
Evidence of strong earthquake shaking in the lower Wabash Valley from prehistoric liquefaction features

1991, Science (251) 1061-1063
Earthquake-induced liquefaction features in Holocene sediments provide evidence of strong prehistoric shaking, magnitude mb 6.2 to 6.7, in the Wabash Valley bordering Indiana and Illinois. The source of the one or more earthquakes responsible was almost certainly in or near the Wabash Valley. The largest event is interpreted to have occurred between...

Seismic excitation by the space shuttle Columbia

1991, Nature (349) 781-782
Seismic stations in southern California recorded the atmospheric shock waves generated by the space shuttle Columbia on its return to the Edwards Air Force base on 13 August 1989 (Fig. 1). In addition to the shock wave, the broad-band IRIS–TERRAscope station at Pasadena recorded a distinct pulse with a period...
The detection of coastal-trapped waves
John W. Haines, K. Thompson, Doug P. Wiens
1991, Journal of Geophysical Research C: Oceans (96) 2593-2597
We outline a simple method for estimating the cross-spectral matrix of coastal-trapped wave amplitudes,A, from a set of oceanographic observations. Specifically, we propose that A may be estimated by (M'M)-1M'UM(M'M)-1 where a prime denote conjugate transpose, U is the sample cross-spectral matrix of observations and M is a matrix which...

The range of present knowledge on the subject of gas hydrates and related federal research programs was the topic of discussion at the National Workshop on Gas Hydrates, April 23–24. The intention of the meeting was to provide the impetus for an expanded and broader‐based national research program in both...

Tolerance of subyearling American shad to short-term exposure to gas supersaturation
T. W. H. Backman, R. M. Ross, W. F. Krise
1991, North American Journal of Fisheries Management (11) 67-71
Subyearling American shad Alosa sapidissima normally migrate from rivers in the fall and may encounter changes in gas supersaturation levels while traversing hydroelectric dams. To determine whether changes in behavior or survival occur during these events, we exposed subyearling American shad to five levels of gas supersaturation that included pressure increases above...

The paleoclimatic informations preserved at some selected sites from high northern latitudes correlative with the last interglacial maximum of Isotopic Substage 5e have been compiled on a hemisphere scale. The mapped compilation reveals much warmer climate conditions on average than present in both terrestrial and marine environments, and indicates a...
