Geologic map of the Domeland Wilderness and contiguous roadless area, Kern and Tulare counties, California
J.R. Bergquist, A.M. Nitkiewicz, R. M. Tosdal
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1395-A
The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral-resource potential.  Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and...
Chemical-quality reconnaissance of the water and surficial bed material in the Delaware River estuary and adjacent New Jersey tributaries, 1980-81
Joseph J. Hochreiter Jr.
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-36
This report presents chemical-quality data collected from May 1980 to January 1981 at several locations within the Delaware River estuary and selected New Jersey tributaries. Samples of surface water were analyzed Environmental Protection Agency ' priority pollutants, ' including acid extractable, base/neutral extractable and volatile organic compounds, in addition to...
Ground-water temperature of the with application to ground-water-source heat pumps
Arthur L. Hodges Jr.
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-53
Ground-water temperature was measured during a one-year period (1980-81) in 20 wells in the Wyoming Quadrangle in central Delaware. Data from thermistors set at fixed depths in two wells were collected twice each week, and vertical temperature profiles of the remaining 18 wells were made monthly. Ground-water temperature at 8...
Digital model of predevelopment flow in the Tertiary limestone (Floridan) aquifer system in west-central Florida
Paul D. Ryder
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-54
A computer model was calibrated to approximate predevelopment flow conditions in a multilayered aquifer system in 10,600 square miles in west-central Floria. The lowermost aquifer, called the Floridan aquifer, is confined in most of the study area and consists of carbonate rocks ranging up to 1,300 feet thick. The Floridan...
Variability in nest survival rates and implications to nesting studies
Albert T. Klett, Douglas H. Johnson
1982, The Auk (99) 77-87
We used four reasonably large samples (83-213) of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and Blue-winged Teal (A. discors) nests on an interstate highway right-of-way in southcentral North Dakota to evaluate potential biases in hatch-rate estimates. Twelve consecutive, weekly searches for nests were conducted with a cable-chain drag in 1976 and 1977. Nests...
Population and status of Emperor Geese along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula
Margaret R. Petersen, Robert E. Gill Jr.
1982, Wildfowl (33) 31-38
We gathered information on the timing of spring and autumn migration of Emperor Geese Anser canagicus from Nelson Lagoon, the age ratios of geese during autumn migration, and the numbers of geese in estuaries along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula and Bristol Bay during spring and autumn migration....
Acid rain, air pollution, and tree growth in southeastern New York
L.J. Puckett
1982, Journal of Environmental Quality (11) 376-381
Whether dendroecological analyses could be used to detect changes in the relationship of tree growth to climate that might have resulted from chronic exposure to components of the acid rain-air pollution complex was determined. Tree-ring indices of white pine (Pinus strobus L.), eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis (L.) Cart.), pitch pine...
Beatty, Nevada: A section in U.S. Geological Survey research in radioactive waste disposal - Fiscal year 1979 (Circular 847)
William D. Nichols
Robert Schneider, E.H. Roseboom, J.B. Robertson, P. R. Stevens, editor(s)
1982, Report, U.S. Geological Survey research in radioactive waste disposal - Fiscal year 1979 (Circular 847)
A commercial low-level radioactive waste disposal site has been operating near Beatty, Nevada, about 150 km northwest of Las Vegas, since 1962. The 32-ha site is situated in a desolate region of the Amargosa River Valley, sometimes referred to as the Amargosa Desert. Average annual precipitation is only about 114...
Worth of geophysical data in natural- disaster- insurance rate setting.
E. D. Attanasi, M.R. Karlinger
1982, Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology (21) 453-460
Insurance firms that offer natural-disaster insurance base their rates on available information. The benefits from collecting additional data and incorporating this information to improve parameter estimates of probability distributions that are used to characterize natural-disaster events can be determined by computing changes in premiums as a function of additional data....
Impact of Mount St. Helens eruption on hydrology and water quality
J. E. Bonelli, Howard E. Taylor, J.M. Klein
1982, Technical Report N-8311538
The 1980 eruptions of Mount St. Helens in southeast Washington resulted in a pronounced effect on the surface and ground water resources of the state. In response to the volcanic activity, the U.S. Geological Survey intensified statewide surface and ground water sampling programs to determine the nature and magnitude of...
Hydrology of Wisconsin wetlands
R.P. Novitzki
1982, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 40
Data from 15 wetland study sites, supplemented by data from reconnaissance visits to 219 additional wetlands, were used to describe the hydrologic characteristics of Wisconsin wetlands and to suggest a simple hydrologic classification system. Wisconsin's wetlands OCCUf in depressions and on slopes. They may be in contact with ground water...
Relation between freshwater flow and salinity distributions in the Alafia River, Bullfrog Creek, and Hillsborough Bay, Florida
R.F. Giovannelli, Southwest Florida Water Management District.
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-102
Data on streamflow, tide stage, specific conductance, and chloride concentration were collected in the Alafia River and Bullfrog Creek to describe the salinity and physical characteristics of the saltwater wedge. The location of the saltwater-freshwater interface for both streams was described by multiple regression equations involving streamflow and tide stage....
