Atlantic Flyway review: Region V: Laurel, Prince Georges County, MD (390-0765)
Chandler S. Robbins
1985, North American Bird Bander (10) 56-56
My being away nearly all of September and on half the October weekends cut deeply into this season's banding. Totals for permanent residents and winter residents were close to normal, but numbers of the transient species are not at all comparable with other years. The only species that seemed more...

Effects of increased pumpage on a fractured-bedrock aquifer system in central Orange County, New York
Murray Garber
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4348
The bedrock in central Orange County consists of highly indurated siltstone, shale, and conglomerate containing two major fault systems and extensive fracturing; it is overlain by 50 to 100 feet of till. The fracturing permits unusually high well yields. Wells tapping the bedrock yield 75 to 200 gallons per minute;...

Geohydrology of the aquifer in the Santa Fe Group, northern West Mesa of the Mesilla Basin near Las Cruces, New Mexico
R. G. Myers, B. R. Orr
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4190
Because of the heterogeneity of the Santa Fe Group, New Mexico, the hydrologic characteristics of the aquifer vary substantially from place to place. Hydraulic conductivities of 12 and 30 feet per day were estimated from aquifer tests for two wells in the eastern one-half of the study area. Well yields...

Earthquake hazards to domestic water distribution systems in Salt Lake County, Utah
Lynn M. Highland
1985, Conference Paper
A magnitude-7. 5 earthquake occurring along the central portion of the Wasatch Fault, Utah, may cause significant damage to Salt Lake County's domestic water system. This system is composed of water treatment plants, aqueducts, distribution mains, and other facilities that are vulnerable to ground shaking, liquefaction, fault movement, and slope...
Effects of contaminants on toxicity of the lampricides TFM and Bayer 73 to three species of fish
L. L. Marking, T.D. Bills
1985, Journal of Great Lakes Research (11) 171-178
Waters in the Great Lakes basin contain more than 400 contaminant chemicals that potentially affect fishery resources, commerce, and human inhabitants. We determined in the laboratory the effects of selected contaminants on the toxicity of the widely used lampricides TFM (3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol)...
DATA ACQUISITION AND APPLICATIONS OF SIDE-LOOKING AIRBORNE RADAR IN THE U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
John Edwin Jones, Allan N. Kover
1985, Conference Paper, Technical Papers of the American Society of Photogrammetry, Annual Meeting
The Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR) program encompasses a multi-discipline effort involving geologists, hydrologists, engineers, geographers, and cartographers of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Since the program began in 1980, more than 520,000 square miles of aerial coverage of SLAR data in the conterminous United States and Alaska have been...

COMPUTER METHOD TO DETECT AND CORRECT CYCLE SKIPPING ON SONIC LOGS.
Douglas C. Muller
1985, Conference Paper, Transactions of the SPWLA Annual Logging Symposium (Society of Professional Well Log Analysts)
A simple but effective computer method has been developed to detect cycle skipping on sonic logs and to replace cycle skips with estimates of correct traveltimes. The method can be used to correct observed traveltime pairs from the transmitter to both receivers. The basis of the method is the linearity...

Classification of native vegetation at the Woodworth Station, North Dakota
M.I. Meyer
1985, Prairie Naturalist (17) 167-175
Native prairie areas on the Woodworth Station were sampled, classified, described, and mapped. Transect sites were selectively located along different soil moisture gradients. Data were collected from 292 plots using a modified Braun-Blanquet cover estimation technique. Trees and tall shrubs (over 2 m) were not sampled because they made up...
Stratigraphic and interregional changes in Pennsylvanian coal-swamp vegetation: Environmental inferences
T.L. Phillips, R.A. Peppers, William A. DiMichele
1985, International Journal of Coal Geology (5) 43-109
Quantitative analysis of Pennsylvanian coal-swamp vegetation provides a means of inferring organization and structure of communities. Distribution of these communities further provides inferences about environmental factors, including paleoclimate. Our observations are based on in situ, structurally preserved peat deposits in coal-ball...

Analysis of the low-flow characteristics of streams in Louisiana
Fred N. Lee
1985, Water Resources Technical Report of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Office of Public Works 35
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Office of Public Works, used geologic maps, soils maps, precipitation data, and low-flow data to define four hydrographic regions in Louisiana having distinct low-flow characteristics. Equations were derived, using regression analyses, to estimate the 7Q2, 7Q10,...
Limnology of nine small lakes, Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska, and the survival and growth rates of rainbow trout
P. F. Woods
1985, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4292
The survival and growth rates of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnieri) were concurrently measured with selected limnological characteristics in nine small (surface area < 25 sq hectometers) lakes in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The project goal was to develop empirical models for predicting rainbow trout growth rates from the following variables: total...
SIMULATING FLOW IN THE TIDAL POTOMAC RIVER.
Raymond W. Schaffranek
1985, Conference Paper
A one-dimensional unsteady flow model has been applied to the tidal Potomac River, including its major tributaries and marginal embayments, between Washington, D. C. and Indian Head, Md. The computer model has been calibrated to simulate the combined effects of tide, freshwater inflows, and wind conditions governing flow in the...
A heat-flow reconnaissance of southeastern Alaska
J.H. Sass, L.A. Lawver, R. J. Munroe
1985, Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences (22) 416-421
Heat flow was measured at nine sites in crystalline and sedimentary rocks of southeastern Alaska. Seven of the sites, located between 115 and 155 km landward of the Queen Charlotte – Fairweather transform fault, have an average heat flow of 59 ± 6 mW m−2. This value is significantly higher than the mean of 42 mW m−2 in...

Chung Jin S.Lunardini Virgil J.Chakrabarti S.K.Wang Y.S.Sodhi D.S.Karal K., editor(s)
1985, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the International Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering Symposium
Besides providing an exact solution for steady-state heat conduction processes (Laplace Poisson equations), the CVBEM (complex variable boundary element method) can be used for the numerical error analysis of domain model solutions. For problems where soil water phase change latent heat effects dominate the thermal regime, heat transport can be...

Seven Bonneterre and Davis Formation glauconite samples from the Magmont mine area, Viburnum Trend, southeast Missouri, yield a 359 + or - 22-m.y. Rb-Sr isochron with an initial 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio of 0.7234 + or - 0.0273 (2 sigma). Gangue calcite from the ore zone has an 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio of approximately 0.7112. The...
