An operational GLS model for hydrologic regression
Gary D. Tasker, J.R. Stedinger
1989, Journal of Hydrology (111) 361-375
Recent Monte Carlo studies have documented the value of generalized least squares (GLS) procedures to estimate empirical relationships between streamflow statistics and physiographic basin characteristics. This paper presents a number of extensions of the GLS method that deal with realities and complexities of regional hydrologic data sets that were not...
Tectonic erosion at the front of the Japan trench convergent margin
Roland E. von Huene, Ray Culotta
1989, Tectonophysics (160) 75-90
The imaging of a multichannel seismic record was improved by reprocessing using pre-stack techniques. The reprocessed record shows structures that indicate tectonic erosion and gravity collapse at the front of the Japan trench margin. Much of the lower slope appears to be underlain by a detached, coherent block of continental...
Subduction of the Daiichi Kashima Seamount in the Japan trench
S. Lallemand, Ray Culotta, Roland E. von Huene
1989, Tectonophysics (160) 237-247
In 1984-1985, the Kaiko consortium collected Seabeam, single-channel seismic and submersible sampling data in the vicinity of the Daiichi-Kashima seamount and the southern Japan trench. We performed a prestack migration of a Shell multichannel seismic profile, that crosses this area, and examined it in the light of this unusually diverse...
Spark ablation-inductively coupled plasma spectrometry for analysis of geologic materials
D. W. Golightly, A. Montaser, B.L. Smith, A. F. Dorrzapf Jr.
1989, Talanta (36) 299-303
Spark ablation—inductively coupled plasma (SA-ICP) spectrometry is applied to the measurement of hafnium—zirconium ratios in zircons and to the determination of cerium, cobalt, iron, lead, nickel and phosphorus in ferromanganese nodules. Six operating parameters used for the high-voltage spark and argon-ICP combination are established by sequential simplex optimization of both...
The influence of reagent type on the kinetics of ultrafine coal flotation
R.B. Read, L.R. Camp, M.S. Summers, D.M. Rapp
1989, Powder Technology (59) 153-162
A kinetic study has been conducted to determine the influence of reagent type on flotation rates of ultrafine coal. Two ultrafine coal samples, the Illinois No. 5 (Springfield) and Pittsburgh No. 8, have been evaluated with various reagent types in order to derive the rate constants for coal (kc), ash...

1,3,5-Hydroxybenzene structures in mosses
M. A. Wilson, J. Sawyer, Patrick G. Hatcher, H. E. Lerch III
1989, Phytochemistry (28) 1395-1400
A number of mosses from widely different families have been studied by cross polarization solid state 13C NMR spectroscopy. Although polysaccharide-type materials dominate the NMR spectra, significant amounts of aromatic carbons are observed in some mosses. Some of this material can be removed by ultrasonic bath treatment, and is lignin derived,...
Chemical affinities between the solvent extractable and the bulk organic matter of fossil resin associated with an extinct podocarpaceae
J.O. Grimalt, Bernd R. T. Simoneit, Patrick G. Hatcher
1989, Phytochemistry (28) 1167-1171
Analyses by GC-MS and GC-IR of resin associated to Dacridiumites mawsonii deposits, an extinct species of Podocarpaceae occurring on the South Island of New Zealand during the Bortonian (Middle Eocene), have revealed that dehydroabietic acid is the predominant component of the solvent soluble fraction. Accordingly, this diterpenoid has been selected as the...

Preliminary geologic map of the Puu Anahulu quadrangle, Hawaii
Richard B. Moore, David A. Clague, Wendy A. Bohrson, W. S. Wise
1989, Open-File Report 89-284
Vent deposits and lava flows from Hualalai Volcano and lava flows from Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea Volcanoes cover the Puu Anahulu 7 1/2-minute quadrangle. Hualalai's diffuse north-trending rift zone, marked by the large trachyte cone of Puu Waawaa and several basaltic spatter cones, is located mainly in the southwestern...

Multichannel seismic-reflection profiles collected in 1979 aboard M/V Seismic Explorer on the western Florida shelf
M. M. Ball, N.K. Soderberg
1989, Open-File Report 89-157
In August 1979, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aboard the M/V SEISMIC EXPLORER of Seismic Explorations International (SEI), ran 17 lines (1,270 km) of multichannel, seismic-reflection profiles on the western Florida Shelf. The main features of the SEI system were (1) a digital recorder with an instantaneous-floating-point-gain constant of 24...

1989, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4030
Reclaimed water is being considered as as supplemental water supply in the Soledad, Poway, and Moosa basins, San Diego County. This report describes the geology, soils, hydrology, and cultural factors in each of the basins as they relate to use of reclaimed water. Imported water is currently the major water-supply...
Application of drilling, coring, and sampling techniques to test holes and wells
Eugene Shuter, Warren E. Teasdale
1989, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 02-F1
The purpose of this manual is to provide ground-water hydrologists with a working knowledge of the techniques of test drilling, auger drilling, coring and sampling, and the related drilling and sampling equipment. For the most part, the techniques discussed deal with drilling, sampling, and completion of test holes in unconsolidated...

Maps and hydrographs are presented in this...
Estimation of the recharge area contributing water to a pumped well in a glacial-drift, river-valley aquifer
Daniel J. Morrissey
1989, Water Supply Paper 2338
The highly permeable, unconfined, glacial-drift aquifers that occupy most New England river valleys constitute the principal source of drinking water for many of the communities that obtain part or all of their public water supply from ground water. Recent events have shown that these aquifers are highly susceptible to contamination...
