J. Lindstedt-Siva, P.H. Albers, K.W. Fucik, N.G. Maynard
Tom E. Allen, editor(s)
1984, Book chapter, Oil Spill Chemical Dispersants: Research, Experience, and Recommendations
A multidisciplinary task force with membership from government agencies, academia, and industry is developing ecologically based guidelines for dispersant use in marine and estuarine environments. The guidelines are organized by habitat type (e.g., coral reefs, rocky shores, bird habitats) and consider dispersant use to protect the habitats from impact, to...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Gray partridge
Arthur W. Allen
1984, FWS/OBS 82/10.73
This report is part of the Habitat Suitability Index model series which provides habitat information useful for impact assessment and habitat management. The Habitat Use Information section is largely constrained to those data that can be used to derive quantitative relationships between key environmental variables and habitat suitability. The habitat use information provides the...
Evaluation of the efficiency of streamflow data collection strategies for alluvial rivers
P.K. Kitanidis, O. G. Lara, R.W. Lane
1984, Journal of Hydrology (72) 85-103
Streamflow discharge is usually determined indirectly from measurements of the river stage at gaging stations and through the use of stage-discharge relationships (rating curves). However, in alluvial streams, stage-discharge relationships change continually and, sometimes, quite markedly. Such changes may be caused by major floods, seasonal variations, or long-term secular trends...
An overview of paleogene molluscan biostratigraphy and paleoecology of the Gulf of Alaska region
L. Marincovich Jr., S. McCoy Jr.
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (47) 91-102
Paleogene marine strata in the Gulf of Alaska region occur in three geographic areas and may be characterized by their molluscan faunal composition and paleoecology: a western area consisting of the Alaska Peninsula, Kodiak Island, and adjacent islands; a central area encompassing Prince William Sound; and an eastern area extending...
Age and correlation of emerged pliocene and pleistocene deposits, U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain
T. M. Cronin, L.M. Bybell, R.Z. Poore, B. W. Blackwelder, J. C. Liddicoat, J. E. Hazel
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (47) 21-51
Paleontologic and paleomagnetic investigations were conducted on several hundred Pliocene and Pleistocene marine samples from five regions of the emerged Atlantic Coastal Plain: (1) the Delmarva Peninsula, (2) eastern Virginia, (3) central and northern North Carolina, (4) southern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina, and (5) the Charleston area, South...
Late quaternary sediments, minerals, and inferred geochemical history of Didwana Lake, Thar Desert, India
R.J. Wasson, G.I. Smith, D.P. Agrawal
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (46) 345-372
Variations in clastic sediment texture, mineralogy of both evaporites formed at the surface and precipitates formed below the lake floor, and the relative chemical activities of the major dissolved components of the chemical precipitates, have allowed reconstruction of the history of salinity and water-level changes in Didwana Lake, Thar Desert,...
Neogene molluscan stages of the West Coast of North America
L. Marincovich Jr.
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (46) 11-24
Neogene marine sediments of the West Coast of North America were deposited in a series of widely spaced basins that extended geographically from the western and northern Gulf of Alaska (60°N) to southern California (33°N). Rich molluscan faunas occur extensively throughout these deposits and form the basis for biostratigraphic schemes...
Distribution and ecology of deep-water benthic foraminifera in the Gulf of Mexico
C. W. Poag
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (48) 25-37
Bathyal and abyssal foraminifera in the Gulf of Mexico are distributed among thirteen generic predominance facies. Five predominance facies nearly encircle the Gulf basin along the slope and rise; a sixth predominance facies blankets the Sigsbee Plain, and a seventh is restricted to the Mississippi Fan. The remaining eight predominance...
Neogene stratigraphy of the submerged U.S. Atlantic margin
C. Wylie Poag
1984, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (47) 103-127
Thirty boreholes and several hundred sea-floor samples provide a detailed but incomplete record of Neogene strata and depositional environments along the submerged part of the United States Atlantic margin. Three major sedimentary basins, the Blake Plateau Basin, the Baltimore Canyon Trough, and the Georges Bank Basin, contain Neogene sedimentary prisms...
Unzipping of the volcano arc, Japan
R. J. Stern, N. C. Smoot, M. Rubin
1984, Tectonophysics (102) 153-174
A working hypothesis for the recent evolution of the southern Volcano Arc, Japan, is presented which calls upon a northward-progressing sundering of the arc in response to a northward-propagating back-arc basin extensional regime. This model appears to explain several localized and recent changes in the tectonic and magrnatic evolution...
Geochemical investigation of Archaean Bimodal and Dwalile metamorphic suites, Ancient Gneiss Complex, Swaziland
D.R. Hunter, F. Barker, Hugh T. Millard Jr.
1984, Precambrian Research (24) 131-155
The bimodal suite (BMS) comprises leucotonalitic and trondhjemitic gneisses interlayered with amphibolites. Based on geochemical parameters three main groups of siliceous gneiss are recognized: (i) SiO2 < 73%, Al2O3 > 14%, and fractionated light rare-earth element (REE) and flat heavy REE patterns; (ii) SiO2 and Al2O3 contents similar to (i) but with strongly fractionated...
A note on drillhole depths required for reliable heat flow determinations
David S. Chapman, Jack Howell, John H. Sass
1984, Tectonophysics (103) 11-18
In general, there is a limiting depth in a drillhole above which the reliability of a single determination of heat flow decreases rapidly with decreasing depth and below which the statistical uncertainty of a heat flow determination does not change perceptibly with increasing depth. This feature has been established empirically...
Fluvial sedimentation on a quivering craton: Influence of slight crustal movements on fluvial processes, upper Jurassic Morrison formation, western Colorado Plateau
Fred Peterson
1984, Sedimentary Geology (38) 21-49
One of the most important challenges facing the fluvial sedimentologist is identification of processes outside the stream channel that influence deposition of fluvial sediments. Detailed studies in the lower sequence of the Salt Wash Member (Morrison Formation, Upper Jurassic) demonstrate that crustal deformation at the site of deposition may considerably...
Depositional environments and paleogeography of the Upper Miocene Wassuk Group, west-central Nevada
R.T. Golia, John H. Stewart
1984, Sedimentary Geology (38) 159-180
Fluvial and lacustrine deposits of the Miocene Wassuk Group, exposed in Coal Valley, west-central Nevada, are divided into five lithofacies: (1) diatomite, claystone, siltstone, and carbonaceous siltstone deposited in a lake with paludal conditions at the margin; (2) upward-coarsening sequences of sandstone deposited on a delta and fan-delta; (3) channel-form...
Oligocene tectonics and sedimentation, California
Tor H. Nilsen
1984, Sedimentary Geology (38) 305-336
During the Oligocene epoch, California was marked by extensive nonmarine sedimentation, in contrast to its pre-Oligocene and post-Oligocene depositional history. The Oligocene continental deposits are especially widespread in southern California and fill a number of small and generally partly restricted basins. Fluvial facies in many basins prograded over previously deposited...
