Distribution of alewives in southeastern Lake Ontario in autumn and winter: a clue to winter mortalities
Roger A. Bergstedt, Robert O’Gorman
1989, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (118) 687-692
Alewives Alosa pseudoharengus in the Great Lakes are thought to avoid extreme cold in winter by moving to deep water where the temperature is usually highest because of inverse thermal stratification. Information collected in Lake Ontario during autumn and winter 1981–1984 with an echo sounder and bottom and midwater trawls indicated that...
Spectral characteristics of chlorites and Mg‐serpentines using high‐resolution reflectance spectroscopy
T. V. V. King, Roger N. Clark
1989, Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth (94) 13997-14008
The present laboratory study using high‐resolution reflectance spectroscopy (0.25–2.7 μm) focuses on two primary phyllosilicate groups, serpentines and chlorites. The results show that it is possible to spectrally distinguish between isochemical end‐members of the Mg‐rich serpentine group (chrysotile, antigorite, and lizardite) and to recognize spectral variations in chlorites as a...
Use of on-site high performance liquid chromatography to evaluate the magnitude and extent of organic contaminants in aquifers
D.F. Goerlitz, B.J. Franks
1989, Ground Water Monitoring Review (9) 122-129
Appraisal of ground water contaminated by organic substances raises problems of difficult sample collection and timely chemical analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography was evaluated for on-site determination of specific organic contaminants in ground water samples and was used at three study sites. Organic solutes were determined directly in water samples, with...
Organic markers as source discriminants and sediment transport indicators in south San Francisco Bay, California
F. D. Hostettler, J. B. Rapp, K.A. Kvenvolden, N L. Samuel
1989, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (53) 1563-1576
Sediment samples from nearshore sites in south San Francisco Bay and from streams flowing into that section of the Bay have been characterized in terms of their content of biogenic and anthropogenic molecular marker compounds. The distributions, input sources, and applicability of these compounds in determining sediment movement are discussed....
40Ar-39Ar dating of the Manson impact structure: A Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary crater candidate
Michael J. Kunk, G. A. Izett, R. A. Haugerud, J. F. Sutter
1989, Science (244) 1565-1568
The mineralogy of shocked mineral and lithic grains in the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) boundary claystone worldwide is most consistent with a bolide impact on a continent. Both the concentrations and sizes of these shocked grains are greatest in the western interior of North America. These data suggest that the Manson impact...
Viking landing sites, remote-sensing observations, and physical properties of Martian surface materials
H. J. Moore, B. M. Jakosky
1989, Icarus (81) 164-184
Important problems that confront future scientific exploration of Mars include the physical properties of Martian surface materials and the geologic processes that formed the materials. The design of landing spacecraft, roving vehicles, and sampling devices and the selection of landing sites, vehicle traverses, and sample sites will be, in part,...
Review of magnetic and electric field effects near active faults and volcanoes in the U.S.A.
M.J.S. Johnston
1989, Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors (57) 47-63
Synchronized measurements of geomagnetic field have been recorded along 800 km of the San Andreas fault and in the Long Valley caldera since 1974, and during eruptions on Mount St. Helens since 1980. For shorter periods of time, continuous measurements of geoelectric field measurements have been made on Mount St....
Morphology of sea-floor landslides on Horizon Guyot: application of steady-state geotechnical analysis
R. E. Kayen, W. C. Schwab, H.J. Lee, M.E. Torresan, J.R. Hein, P. J. Quinterno, L.A. Levin
1989, Deep Sea Research Part A, Oceanographic Research Papers (36) 1817-1839
Mass movement and erosion have been identified on the pelagic sediment cap of Horizon Guyot, a seamount in the Mid-Pacific Mountains. Trends in the size, shape and preservation of bedforms and sediment textural trends on the pelagic cap indicate that bottom-current-generated sediment transport direction is upslope. Slumping of the sediment...
Nitrogen cycling between sediment and the shallow-water column in the transition zone of the Potomac River and Estuary. II. The role of wind-driven resuspension and adsorbed ammonium
N.S. Simon
1989, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (28) 531-547
During periods of sediment resuspension, desorption of ammonium from sediment solids can be the major pathway for enriching the water column with the ammonium that is produced by bacterial degradation of organic matter in the bottom material. This hyopthesis is based on a three-year study of diffusive flux in the...
Problems of snowmelt runoff modelling for a variety of physiographic and climatic conditions
G.H. Leavesley
1989, Hydrological Sciences Journal (34) 617-634
Problems include: a) definition of the spatial and temporal distribution of model input; b) measurement or estimation of snow accumulation, snowmelt, and runoff process parameters for a range of applications and scales; and c) development of accurate short term and long term snowmelt runoff forecasts. Procedures being investigated to solve...
Patterns of sediment accumulation in the tidal marshes of Maine
M.E. Wood, J. T. Kelley, D. F. Belknap
1989, Estuaries (12) 237-246
One year's measurements of surficial sedimentation rates (1986-1987) for 26 Maine marsh sites were made over marker horizons of brick dust. Observed sediment accumulation rates, from 0 to 13 mm yr-1, were compared with marsh morphology, local relative sea-level rise rate, mean tidal range, and ice rafting activity. Marshes with...
Temporal and spatial patterns of phytoplankton production in Tomales Bay, California, U.S.A.
B.E. Cole
1989, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (28) 103-115
Primary productivity in the water column was measured 14 times between April 1985 and April 1986 at three sites in Tomales Bay, California, USA The conditions at these three stations encompassed the range of hydrographic conditions, phytoplankton biomass, phytoplankton community composition, and turbidity typical of this coastal embayment. Linear regression...
A comparison of lead-isotope measurements on exploration-type samples using inductively coupled plasma and thermal ionization mass spectrometry
B.L. Gulson, A. L. Meier, S. E. Church, K.J. Mizon
1989, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (32) 311-313
Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TI-MS) has long been the method of choice for Pb-isotope determinations. More recently, however, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used to determine Pb-isotope ratios for mineral exploration. The ICP-MS technique, although not as precise...
Sliding behavior and deformation textures of heated illite gouge
Diane E. Moore, R. Summers, J.D. Byerlee
1989, Journal of Structural Geology (11) 329-342
The run products of a series of triaxial friction experiments on an illite-rich gouge have been examined petrographically to study the relationship between textural development and sliding mode. The samples show a complete range of textures, from ones in which the...
Moderate-temperature zeolitic alteration in a cooling pyroclastic deposit
S. S. Levy, J. R. O’Neil
1989, Chemical Geology (76) 321-326
The locally zeolitized Topopah Spring Member of the Paintbrush Tuff (13 Myr.), Yucca Mountain, Nevada, U.S.A., is part of a thick sequence of zeolitized pyroclastic units. Most of the zeolitized units are nonwelded tuffs that were altered during low-temperature diagenesis, but the distribution and textural setting of zeolite (heulandite-clinoptilolite) and...

M.E. Jennings, E.N. Cookmeyer
1989, Conference Paper
Work is underway on a planned microcomputer program that will include about 1500 prediction equations for 214 flood regions of the United States and Puerto Rico. The program will include calculation routines for rural and urban flood frequency and hydrograph characteristics and will have links to a detention-pond routing model....
