1980, Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters (68) 208-211
Avian botulism was responsible for the death of over 6,000 waterfowl at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin in 1978. The outbreak occurred in early fall on a flooded 250 hectare fallow agricultural area on the northeast end of the refuge. The species most severely affected was the green-winged teal...

The behavior of 14C and 13C in estuarine water: Effects of In situ CO2 production and atmospheric exchange
Elliott C. Spiker
1980, Radiocarbon (22) 647-654
The effects of nonconservative sources (inputs) and sinks (outputs) of carbon are indicated by the behavior of Δ14C and δ13C of the total dissolved inorganic carbon (ΣCO2) in San Francisco Bay and Chesapeake Bay. Isotopic distributions and model calculations indicate that in North San Francisco Bay the net CO2 flux to...
Toxicity of five forest insecticides to cutthroat trout and two species of aquatic invertebrates
D. F. Woodward, W.L. Mauck

The Northern Rocky Mountain region has had scattered infestation of the western spruce budworm Christoneura occidentalis since the early 1900's (U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (USDA) 1976b). On the basis of aerial surveys in 1975, TUNNOCK et al. (1976), estimated that budworm defoliation occurred on 2,278,804 acres of six National Forests...
Accuracy of an estuarine hydrodynamic model using smooth elements
Roy A. Walters, Ralph T. Cheng
1980, Water Resources Research (16) 187-195
A finite element model which uses triangular, isoparametric elements with quadratic basis functions for the two velocity components and linear basis functions for water surface elevation is used in the computation of shallow water wave motions. Specifically addressed are two common uncertainties in this class of two-dimensional hydrodynamic models: the...
