Mean annual streamflow of selected drainage basins in the coal area of southeastern Montana
Rodger F. Ferreira
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-61
Streamflow characteristics of drainage basins within the Fort Union coal region of southeastern Montana were estimated to provide premining data for evaluating the future effects of mining on the environment. Estimated annual mean streamflow at 22 data-collection stations for water years 1975-77 ranged from 0 to 887 cubic feet per...

Anaerobic oxidation of acetylene by estuarine sediments and enrichment cultures
Charles W. Culbertson, Alexander J. B. Zehnder, Ronald S. Oremland
1981, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (41) 396-403
Acetylene disappeared from the gas phase of anaerobically incubated estuarine sediment slurries, and loss was accompanied by increased levels of carbon dioxide. Acetylene loss was inhibited by chloramphenicol, air, and autoclaving. Addition of 14C2H2 to slurries resulted in the formation of 14CO2 and the transient appearance of 14C-soluble intermediates, of which acetate was a major...

Hard mineral resources around the U.S continental margin
Frank T. Manheim, H.D. Hess
1981, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Annual Offshore Technology Conference
The territorial waters surrounding the United States contain vast quantities of hard mineral resources. Some, such as sand and gravel in the New York Bight, Beaufort Sea, portions of southern California, and submerged lands near Hawaii are relatively well known and characterized by local need and immediate mining potential with...
Estimating usable resources from historical industry data
S.M. Cargill, D. H. Root, E. H. Bailey
1981, Economic Geology (76) 1081-1095
Historical production statistics are used to predict the quantity of remaining usable resources. The commodities considered are mercury, copper and its byproducts gold and silver, and petroleum; the production and discovery data are for the United States. The results of the study indicate that the...

Shear zone between the Inner Piedmont and Kings Mountain belts in the Carolinas
J. Wright Horton, Jr.
1981, Geology (9) 28-33
The Kings Mountain shear zone, which marks the boundary between the Inner Piedmont and Kings Mountain belts near the NC-SC state line, is a northeast-striking, steeply to moderately dipping zone of ductile mylonitic deformation and late-stage semibrittle deformation. The zone is at least 60 km long and is no more...
Temporal and spatial variations in suspended matter in continental shelf and slope waters off the north-eastern United States
Michael H. Bothner, Carol M. Parmenter, John D. Milliman
1981, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (13) 213-234
Seston in waters of Georges Bank originates primarily from biological production and from resuspension of bottom sediments. The concentrations of suspended matter observed on the central shoals are more influenced by storms than by seasonal changes. Winter storms produce highest concentrations of non-combustible material throughout the water column, and summer...
Uranium-series and soil-geomorphic dating of the Calico archaeological site, California
James L. Bischoff, Roy J. Shlemon, T. L. Ku, R.D. Simpson, Robert J. Rosenbauer, Budinger
1981, Geology (9) 576-582
Lithic specimens identified as artifacts have been recovered from near the base of the Yermo fan deposits at Calico, California. The soil on the fan surface is a strongly developed relict paleosol. Comparison of this soil with dated paleosols elsewhere in the southwestern United States suggests that the surface is...
Comparison of uranium-series, radiocarbon, and amino acid data from marine molluscs, Baffin Island, Arctic Canada
Barney J. Szabo, G. H. Miller, J. T. Andrews, M. Stuiver
1981, Geology (9) 451-457
Uranium-series and 14C dates and the extent of amino acid racemization are reported for 24 marine shell samples from three areas of Baffin Island, Arctic Canada. When the radiometric dates are plotted against the ratio of D-alloisoleucene:L-isoleucene in the shells, five broad age groups are recognized. The uranium-series data indicate...

Proterozoic zircon from augen gneiss, Yukon-Tanana Upland, east-central Alaska
John N. Aleinikoff, Cynthia Dusel-Bacon, Helen L. Foster, Kiyoto Futa
1981, Geology (9) 469-473
U-Th-Pb analyses of zircons from an ortho-augen gneiss body in the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska yield strong evidence for the presence of early Proterozoic material in this area. U-Pb data define a chord that intersects concordia at about 2,300 and 345 m.y. We consider two interpretations: (1) the protolith...
Rectangular harmonic analysis applied to the geomagnetic field
L.R. Alldredge
1981, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (86) 3021-3026
Spherical harmonic analysis of the earth's magnetic field is limited in the resolution that can be obtained. This limitation is caused by inadequacies of computers and of available data sets. The fundamental wavelength in spherical harmonic analysis is the circumference of the earth. To resolve wavelengths as short as 100...

Estimation of depth to magnetic source using maximum entropy power spectra, with application to the Peru-Chile Trench
Richard J. Blakely
1981, Memoir of the Geological Society of America (154) 667-682
Estimations of the depth to magnetic sources using the power spectrum of magnetic anomalies generally require long magnetic profiles. The method developed here uses the maximum entropy power spectrum (MEPS) to calculate depth to source on short windows of magnetic data; resolution is thereby improved. The method operates by dividing...
