Atmospheric deposition: Sample handling, storage, and analytical procedures for chemical characterization of event-based samples in North Dakota
R. L. Houghton, Mary E. Berger, Nancy Zander, Sandra K. Dutchek
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4205
The North Dakota atmospheric-deposition network uses HASL-type collectors to sample wet and dry deposition on an event basis for analysis of 8 principal mineral, 3 nutrient, and 15 trace constituents. Comparison of the compositions of wet deposition collected in adjacent collectors sampled on weekly and event bases indicates that weekly...

Eolian sand bodies of the world
E. D. McKee
1983, Developments in Sedimentology (38) 1-25
This chapter examines the eolian sand bodies of the world. Analyses regarding grain size and sorting distribution at Great Sand Dunes indicate that the higher dunes contain much more fine-grained sand and much less medium-grained sand than do the lower dunes, and, in addition, they are definitely better sorted. Cross-stratification...

A tale of two plutons: petrographic and mineralogic constraints on the petrogenesis of the Red Lake and Eagle Peak plutons, central Sierra Nevada, California
J.H. Noyes, D. R. Wones, F.A. Frey
1983, Journal of Geology (91) 353-379
The two plutons are similar in age (K/Ar, 87-89 m.y.) and range in composition from granodiorite to granite. The Red Lake pluton is equigranular, has a locally greisened marginal zone, and shows only minor mineralogical and chemical zoning, whereas the Eagle Peak pluton is mineralogically, compositionally and texturally zoned, with...

Nonlinear strain buildup and the earthquake cycle on the San Andreas fault
W. Thatcher
1983, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (88) 5893-5902
Two contrasting models of the earthquake deformation cycle on strike slip faults predict significant temporal declines in shear strain rate near the fault, accompanied by a progressive broadening of the zone of deformation adjacent to it. In the thin lithosphere model, transient deformation results from flow in the asthenosphere due...

Historical changes to Lake Washington and route of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, King County, Washington
Michael J. Chrzastowski
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-1182
Lake Washington, in the midst of the greater Seattle metropolitan area of the Puget Sound region (fig. 1), is an exceptional commercial, recreational, and esthetic resource for the region . In the past 130 years, Lake Washington has been changed from a " wild " lake in a wilderness setting...

Surveyors, cartographers, photogrammetrists; identification friends or foes
Frederick J. Doyle
1983, Cartography (13) 88-95
Largely because of historical developments, the disciplines of geodesy, surveying, photogrammetry, cartography and remote sensing which make up the profession of cartographic science are organised into numerous societies at both the national and international levels. Partly as a consequence of this separatism, an effective education system for the profession is...

Ground water in the northeast part of Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, Bagdad area, California
J. H. Koehler
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4053
The hydrologic characteristics of the Bagdad area, in the northeast part of Twentynine Palms Marine Corps Base, were investigated to determine the feasibility of obtaining a supply of ground water. Five test holes were drilled and three of these were completed with 6-inch casings. Ground water in the eastern part...
A mechanism to explain the generation of earthquake lights
D.A. Lockner, M.J.S. Johnston, J.D. Byerlee
1983, Nature (302) 28-33
Explanations of how earthquake lights might arise have failed to show how large charge densities can be concentrated and sustained in a conductive Earth. A physical model is proposed, based on frictional heating of the fault, that solves this and related problems. ?? 1983 Nature Publishing Group....
PROPOSED SPECIFICATIONS FOR INERTIAL SURVEYING.
William H. Chapman
1983, Conference Paper, Technical Papers of the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping
The purpose of this paper is to continue the movement toward placing inertial surveying instruments in the toolbox of the geodetic surveyor. A set of specifications is proposed for performing horizontal geodetic surveys with inertial instruments that will meet the Federal Geodetic Control Committee (FGCC) second- and third-order standards. These...
The role of digital cartographic data in the geosciences
S.C. Guptill
1983, Computers & Geosciences (9) 23-26
The increasing demand of the Nation's natural resource developers for the manipulation, analysis, and display of large quantities of earth-science data has necessitated the use of computers and the building of geoscience information systems. These systems require, in digital form, the spatial data on map products. The basic cartographic data...
Geochemistry of the Chattanooga shale, Dekalb County, central Tennessee.
J.S. Leventhal, Paul H. Briggs, J.W. Baker
1983, Southeastern Geology (24) 101-116
This Upper Devonian shale is of interest because of its unusual enrichment in trace elements, especially U; a new chemical analysis for major, minor and trace elements is presented. Stable isotopes of carbon (organic) show delta 13C approx -29per mille and for total sulphur show -21 to -27per mille delta...
Mixed-station extension of monthly streamflow records.
W.M. Alley, A.W. Burns
1983, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering (109) 1272-1284
Monthly streamflow records at a site are sometimes extended by exploiting interstation correlation of streamflow, often through simple linear regression with a base station having a long-term record. An approach is presented which selects a base station from among several in a region for filling in missing data. It differs...
Liquefaction sites, Imperial Valley, California.
T. L. Youd, M.J. Bennett
1983, Journal of Geotechnical Engineering (109) 440-457
Sands that did and did not liquefy at two sites during the 1979 Imperial Valley, Calif., earthquake (ML = 6.6) are identified and their properties evaluated. SPT tests were used to evaluate liquefaction susceptibility. Loose fine sands in an abandoned channel liquefied and produced sand boils, ground fissures, and a...
