Resonance of a fluid-driven crack: Radiation properties and implications for the source of long-period events and harmonic tremor
B. Chouet
1988, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (93) 4375-4400
A dynamic source model is presented, in which a three-dimensional crack containing a viscous compressible fluid is excited into resonance by an impulsive pressure transient applied over a small area ΔS of the crack surface. The crack excitation depends critically on two dimensionless parameters called the crack stiffness, C = (b/μ)(L/d), and...

Manganese inhibition of microbial iron reduction in anaerobic sediments
Derek R. Lovley, Elizabeth J.P. Phillips
1988, Geomicrobiology Journal (6) 145-155
Potential mechanisms for the lack of Fe(II) accumulation in Mn(IV)‐con‐taining anaerobic sediments were investigated. The addition of Mn(IV) to sediments in which Fe(III) reduction was the terminal electron‐accepting process removed all the pore‐water Fe(II), completely inhibited net Fe(III) reduction, and stimulated Mn(IV) reduction. In a solution buffered at pH 7,...
The formation and failure of natural dams
John E. Costa, Robert L. Schuster
1988, Geological Society of America Bulletin (100) 1054-1068
Of the numerous kinds of dams that form by natural processes, dams formed from landslides, glacial ice, and late-neoglacial moraines present the greatest threat to people and property. Landslide dams form in a wide range of physiographic settings. The most common types of mass movements that form landslide dams are...

J. L. Kindinger
1988, Marine Geology (83) 79-94
The Mississippi-Alabama shelf and upper continental slope contain relatively thin Upper Pleistocene and Holocene deposits. Five stages of shelf evolution can be identified from the early Wisconsinan to present. The stages were controlled by glacioeustatic or relative sea-level changes and are...
Microbial hydroxylation of quinoline in contaminated groundwater: evidence for incorporation of the oxygen atom of water.
W. E. Pereira, C.E. Rostad, T.J. Leiker, D.M. Updegraff, J.L. Bennett
1988, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (54) 827-829
Studies conducted in an aquifer contaminated by creosote suggest that quinoline is converted to 2(1H)quinolinone by an indigenous consortium of microorganisms. Laboratory microbial experiments using H218O indicate that water is the source of the oxygen atom for this hydroxylation reaction under aerobic and anaerobic conditions....
Deformation in the Yakataga seismic gap, Southern Alaska, 1980-1986
J.C. Savage, M. Lisowski
1988, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (93) 4731-4744
A 60-by-40-km trilateration network in the Yakataga seismic gap was surveyed in 1980, 1982, 1984, and 1986 with precise electro-optical distance-measuring equipment to measure strain accumulation. The overall deformation is roughly approximated by a 0.24±0.03 µstrain/yr N32°W±2.4° uniaxial contraction that is uniform in time. However, the spatial distribution of deformation...

M. Lisowski, J.C. Savage, W.H. Prescott, W.K. Gross
1988, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (93) 7909-7922
Measurements of the deformation of a trilateration network in the Shumagin seismic gap in the interval 1980–1987 failed to detect any significant strain accumulation (observed extension rate in the direction of plate convergence 0.00±0.03 μstrain/yr). Dislocation models of the subduction process and measurements at a comparable network at a known...
New equal-area map projections for noncircular regions
John P. Snyder
1988, American Cartographer (15) 341-355
A series of new equal-area map projections has been devised. Called Oblated Equal-Area, its lines of constant distortion follow approximately oval or rectangular paths instead of the circles of the Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area projection or the straight lines of the Cylindrical Equal-Area projection. The projection series permits design of equal-area...
