Hurricane impacts on the coastal environment
Abby Sallenger
1990, Report
In terms of insured losses, Hurricane Andrew is the most severe catastrophe in the Nation's history. Prior to the arrival of Andrew, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Louisiana Geological Survey (LGS), acquired an extensive body of information and data on the behavior and long-term erosion of...
Wetland creation and restoration: description and summary of the literature
K. Schneller-McDonald, Lee S. Ischinger, Gregor T. Auble
1990, Report
The Wetland Creation/Restoration (WCR) data base was developed to compile information concerning the creation and restoration of wetlands and to provide a state-of-the-knowledge resource based on the published literature. This report provides a hard copy of the bibliographic material contained in the digital WRC data base for individuals that do...

Grasslands are distributed throughout California from Oregon to Baja California Norte and from the coast to the desert (Brown 1982) (Figure 1). This review will focus on the dominant formation in cismontane California, a community referred to as Valley Grassland (Munz 1959). Today, Valley Grassland is dominated by...

Introduction to stratigraphy and hydrocarbon occurrence in Oligocene and Miocene rocks of the Santa Barbara-Ventura and Santa Maria Basins of California
Margaret A. Keller
Mary K. McGowen, editor(s)
1990, Conference Paper, Miocene and Oligocene petroleum reservoirs of the Santa Maria and Santa Barbara-Ventura Basins, California
The Santa Barbara-Ventura and Santa Maria basins of southern California have been of great interest to the oil industry because oil or gas has been produced from nearly all the sedimentary units ranging in age from the Cretaceous to the Pleistocene. In particular, the Neogene section of these basins is...

Evaluation of wildlife-habitat relationships data base for predicting bird community composition in central California chaparral and blue oak woodlands
M.L. Avery, Charles van Riper III
1990, California Fish and Game (76)
The California Wildlife-Habitat Relationships (WHR) database can be used to assist resource managers to evaluate effects of habitat manipulations on wildlife. The accuracy of predictions from WHR was evaluated using data from bird surveys conducted during winter and spring 1984 and 1985 in chamise (Adenostema fasciculata) chaparral, mixed chaparral and...

Geochemistry of highly fractionated I- and S-type granites from the tin-tungsten province of western Tasmania

1990, Book chapter, Ore-bearing granite systems; petrogenesis and mineralizing processes
The Devonian batholiths of western Tasmania represent a diverse assemblage of highly fractionated intrusions (70 to 77 percent SiO2) that are the products of different source materials. The Housetop batholith exhibits compositional affinities to a fluorine-rich I-type magma. The Meredith batholith also has characteristics indicative of I-type source materials. The...

Paleogeographic setting of upper Paleozoic rocks in the northern Sierra and eastern Klamath terranes, northern California
David S. Harwood, M. Meghan Miller
1990, Book chapter, Paleozoic and early Mesozoic paleogeographic relations; Sierra Nevada, Klamath Mountains, and related terranes
Upper Paleozoic rocks of the northern Sierra and eastern Klamath terranes provide detailed stratigraphic records of ensimatic arc-related sedimentation and magmatism. Comparison of Paleozoic stratigraphic relations between the two terranes, however, suggests certain contrasts in depositional environments and the nature, volume, and timing of volcanism for given time intervals. Some...
