Concentrations of arsenic, antimony, and boron in steam and steam condensate at The Geysers, California
C. L. Smith, W. H. Ficklin, J. M. Thompson
1987, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (32) 329-341
Studies at The Geysers Geothermal Field, California indicate that under some circumstances elements that are transported in the vapor phase can become enriched in the liquid phase. Waters from two condensate traps (steam traps) on steam lines at The Geysers are enriched with arsenic, antimony, and boron compared to the...
Recognition of Macluritella (Gastropoda) from the Upper Cambrian of Missouri and Nevada
E. L. Yochelson, B.L. Stinchcomb
1987, Journal of Paleontology (61) 56-61
Open-coiled euomphalacean gastropods have been identified for the first time in the Upper Cambrian Eminence Dolomite of Missouri. These gastropods have a triangular whorl profile and are conspecific with Hyolithes walcotti described from the Upper Cambrian of Nevada. That species is questionably reassigned to the gastropod genus Macluritella,...

Evidence for Late-Paleozoic brine migration in Cambrian carbonate rocks of the central and southern Appalachians: Implications for Mississippi Valley-type sulfide mineralization
P.P. Hearn Jr., J. F. Sutter, H. E. Belkin
1987, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (51) 1323-1334
Many Lower Paleozoic limestones and dolostones in the Valley and Ridge province of the central and southern Appalachians contain 10 to 25 weight percent authigenic potassium feldspar. This was considered to be a product of early diagenesis, however, 40Ar39Ar">40Ar39Ar analyses of overgrowths on detrital K-feldspar in...
Evolution and petroleum geology of Amlia and Amukta intra-arc summit basins, Aleutian Ridge
E.L. Geist, J.R. Childs, D.W. Scholl
1987, Marine and Petroleum Geology (4) 334-352
Amlia and Amukta Basins are the largest of many intra-arc basins formed in late Cenozoic time along the crest of the Aleutian Arc. Both basins are grabens filled with 2-5 km of arc-derived sediment. A complex system of normal faults deformed the basinal strata. Although initial deposits of late Micocene...

P. W. Barnes, J.L. Asbury, D.M. Rearic, C.R. Ross
1987, Marine Geology (76) 207-222
In 1981 and 1982, detailed bathymetric and side-scan sonar surveys were made of an area of the sea floor north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to study the changing characteristics of the seabed at the inner boundary of the stamukhi zone, the...

The decarbonation and heat capacity of ZnCO3
H.T. Haselton, J. R. Goldsmith
1987, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (51) 261-265
The decarbonation curve for ZnCO3 has been determined in the pressure range 3–20 kbar by using a combination of cold-seal vessels and piston-cylinder apparatus with NaCl assemblies. Heat capacities for both synthetic and natural ZnCO3 samples were measured by differential scanning calorimetry at temperatures ranging from 340 to 497 K. The results...
Precambrian geology of the U.S.A.
J. C. Reed Jr.
1987, Episodes (10) 243-247
Although exposures of Precambrian rocks in the USA are widely scattered, recent studies have provided much information about their subsurface distribution and tectonic history. This article reviews the geological development of the Archean craton, orogenic belts and cratonic cover of Proterozoic age, the Midcontinent rift system, and Precambrian rocks caught...
ESTIMATION OF NAVIGATION - DAM DISCHARGE IN ILLINOIS.
Linda S. Weiss
1987, Conference Paper
Techniques were used to estimate discharge for the Brandon Road Dam on the Des Plaines River and the Dresden Island, Marseilles, and Starved Rock Dams on the Illinois River in northern Illinois. Tainter gates are operated to regulate streamflow at all dams. Additionally, headgates are used for regulation of the...

UNDERWATER MAPPING USING GLORIA AND MIPS.
Pat S. Chavez Jr., Jeffrey A. Anderson, James W. Schoonmaker Jr.
1987, Conference Paper, Oceans Conference Record (IEEE)
Advances in digital image processing of the (GLORIA) Geological Long-Range Induced Asdic) sidescan-sonar image data have made it technically and economically possible to map large areas of the ocean floor including the Exclusive Economic Zone. Software was written to correct both geometric and radiometric distortions that exist in the original...
The global carbon cycle and Quaternary paleoclimates.
E.T. Sundquist
1987, Episodes (10) 7-10
Key evidence of ancient CO2 concentrations has come from studies of ice cores, marine sediments, ocean current patterns, and oceanic biochemistry and biota, but there are conflicting views about the role of the marine biological pump, especially as regards the deglacial increase in CO2.-from Author...
Trend analysis of monthly sulfur dioxide emissions in the conterminous United States, 1975-1984
H.F. Lins
1987, Atmospheric Environment (21) 2297-2309
Trends in monthly sulfur dioxide emissions for the 48 conterminous United States during the decade 1975-1984 are identified using a robust nonparametric procedure. Statistically significant downward trends are indicated in 32 States, upward trends appear in 10 States, and no significant trend is apparent in six States. Geographically, a distinct...
Application of microwave digestion to the analysis of peat
C. S.E. Papp, L. B. Fischer
1987, The Analyst (112) 337-338
A microwave digestion technique for the dissolution of peat is described and compared with a dry ashing method and a nitric - perchloric - hydrofluoric acid wet digestion. Peat samples with different organic matter contents were used and Ca, Mg, Fe, AI, Na, K, Mn, Zn, Cu and Li were...

Rosalind Tuthill Helz, C.R. Thornber
1987, Bulletin of Volcanology (49) 651-668
Data on the variation of temperature with time and in space are essential to a complete understanding of the crystallization history of basaltic magma in Kilauea Iki lava lake. Methods used to determine temperatures in the lake have included direct, downhole thermocouple measurements and Fe-Ti oxide geothermometry. In addition, the...
Volcanic hazards from Bezymianny- and Bandai-type eruptions
Lee Siebert, H. Glicken, T. Ui
1987, Bulletin of Volcanology (49) 435-459
Major slope failures are a significant degradational process at volcanoes. Slope failures and associated explosive eruptions have resulted in more than 20 000 fatalities in the past 400 years; the historic record provides evidence for at least six of these events in the past century. Several historic debris avalanches exceed...

That first Special Issue consisted of eight papers: four are primarily tutorial (image processing, spectral signatures in the...
Three volcanoes erupt in Alaska
T. P. Miller
1987, Earthquakes & Volcanoes (USGS) (19) 192-198
This is a description, illustrated with photographs, of the 1986 eruptions of Augustine, Pavlof and Akutan volcanoes. Augustine erupted pyroclastic flows, a large eruptive column, ash, and eventually a dome. Pavlof had an important Strombolian eruption which was one of the biggest in the last 30 years. Akutan had a...
The inventory and distribution of water on Mars
M. H. Carr
1987, Advances in Space Research (7) 85-94
Terrain softening, fretted channels, debris flows, and closed depressions indicate that at least the upper 2 km of the cratered uplands at high latitudes (>30??) contain ice in amounts that exceed the porosity, estimated to be 10-20 percent. Theoretical studies, and lack of these features in the cratered uplands at...
