Surveying Antarctica: from dogsled to satellite
Richard S. Williams Jr.
1979, Air and Space (3) 3-4
Base maps of Antarctica are needed at scales of 1:250,000 to plot scientific data, yet after 20 years of a major mapping effort, only about 20 percent of the continent has been accurately mapped using aerial photographs and ground surveys. Encompassing nearly 14.3 million square kilometers (5.5 million square miles),...
Satellite-aided evaluation of population exposure to air pollution
William J. Todd, Anthony J. George Jr., Nevin A. Bryant
1979, Environmental Science & Technology (13) 970-974
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 set schedules for states to implement regional, spatial assessments of air quality impacts. Accordingly, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently published guidelines for quantifying population exposure to adverse air quality impact by using air quality and population data by census tracts. Our research...
Satellites monitor Atlanta regional development
William J. Todd, C.C. Blackmon, R.G. Rudasill Jr.
1979, Practicing Planner (9) 6-10
Since the adoption of a Regional Development Plan in 1975, the Atlanta Regional Commission has investigated methods for monitoring regional development patterns in a periodic, efficient manner. A promising approach appears to be the use of Landsat satellite data. In cooperation with the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center,...
Inventory and mapping of flood inundation using interactive digital image analysis techniques
Wayne G. Rohde, Charles A. Nelson, J. V. Taranik
1979, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (5) 43-52
LANDSAT digital data and color infra-red photographs were used in a multiphase sampling scheme to estimate the area of agricultural land affected by a flood. The LANDSAT data were classified with a maximum likelihood algorithm. Stratification of the LANDSAT data, prior to classification, greatly reduced misclassification errors. The classification results...
What is a picture worth? A history of remote sensing
Gerald K. Moore
1979, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (24) 477-485
Remote sensing is the use of electromagnetic energy to measure the physical properties of distant objects. It includes photography and geophysical surveying as well as newer techniques that use other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The history of remote sensing begins with photography. The origin of other types of remote...
Infrared film for aerial photography
William H. Anderson
1979, Irrigation Age (13) 68-69
Considerable interest has developed recently in the use of aerial photographs for agricultural management. Even the simplest hand-held aerial photographs, especially those taken with color infrared film, often provide information not ordinarily available through routine ground observation. When fields are viewed from above, patterns and variations become more apparent,...
Ancient processes at the site of southern San Francisco Bay, movement of the crust and changes in sea level

Multichannel seismic depth sections and interval velocities over outer continental shelf and upper continental slope between Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod: Rifted margins
John A. Grow, Robert E. Mattick, John S. Schlee
1979, Book chapter, Geological and geophysical investigations of continental margins
Six computer-generated seismic depth sections over the outer continental shelf and upper slope reveal that subhorizontal Lower Cretaceous reflectors continue 20 to 30 km seaward of the present shelf edge. Extensive erosion on the continental slope has occurred primarily during the Tertiary, causing major unconformities and retreat of the shelf...
History, landforms, and vegetation of the estuary's tidal marshes

An instrument system for long-term sediment transport studies on the continental shelf
Bradford Butman, David W. Folger
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (84) 1215-1220
A bottom-mounted instrument system has been designed and built to monitor processes of bottom sediment movement on the continental shelf. The system measures bottom current speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and light transmission and photographs the bottom. The system can be deployed for periods of 2–6 months to monitor intermitent...
The productivity of San Cristobal Reef, Puerto Rico
Caroline S. Rogers
1979, Limnology and Oceanography (24) 342-349
San Cristobal Reef, Puerto Rico, was the site of a community metabolism study based on a new upstream-downstream method with experimental channels 4 m deep. Net productivity rates varied from 0.03 to 1.85 g O2m–2 reef area·h­–1 (x = 0.39; n = 59). Respiration measurements of one reef section from which...
Geology of the offshore Southeast Georgia Embayment, U.S. Atlantic continental margin, based on multichannel seismic reflection profiles
Richard T. Buffler, Joel S. Watkins, William P. Dillon
1979, AAPG Memoir 29
A geologic interpretation of the offshore Southeast Georgia Embayment is based on an 1,100-km multichannel seismic reflection survey conducted jointly by the University of Texas Marine Science Institute and the U.S. Geological Survey. The Southeast Georgia Embayment consists of a wedge of Cretaceous and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks that thins from...
Structure and development of the Southeast Georgia Embayment and northern Blake Plateau: Preliminary analysis
William P. Dillon, Charles K. Paull, Richard T. Buffler, Jean-Pierre Fail
1979, AAPG Memoir 29
Multichannel seismic reflection profiles from the Southeast Georgia Embayment and northern Blake Plateau show reflectors that have been correlated tentatively with horizons of known age. The top of the Cretaceous extends smoothly seaward beneath the continental shelf and Blake Plateau, unaffected at the present shelf edge. A reflector inferred to...
