Predicting earthquakes along the major plate tectonic boundaries in the Pacific
H. Spall
1978, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (10) 20-25
In an article in the last issue of the Earthquake Information Bulletin ("Earthquakes and Plate Tectonics," by Henry Spall), we saw how 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur at the margins of the Earth's major crustal plates. however, when we look at the distribution of earthquakes in detail, we...

Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite
Marvin G. Sherrill
1978, Water Supply Paper 2047
Door County is in northeastern Wisconsin and is an area of 491 square miles. The county forms the main body of the peninsula between Green Bay and Lake Michigan. The land surface is an upland ridge controlled by the underlying bedrock. The west edge of the ridge forms an escarpment...

The potential source of lead in the Permian Kupferschiefer bed of Europe and some selected Paleozoic mineral deposits in the Federal Republic of Germany
K.H. Wedepohl, M.H. Delevaux, B. R. Doe
1978, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (65) 273-281
New lead isotopic compositions have been measured for Paleozoic bedded and vein ore deposits of Europe by the high precision thermal emission (triple filament) technique. Eleven samples have been analyzed from the Upper Permian Kupferschiefer bed with representatives from Poland to England, three samples from the Middle Devonian Rammelsberg deposit...
Uranium-lead isotope systematics and apparent ages of zircons and other minerals in precambrian granitic rocks, Granite Mountains, Wyoming
K.R. Ludwig, J. S. Stuckless
1978, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (65) 243-254
Zircon suites from the two main types of granite in the Granite Mountains, Wyoming, yielded concordia-intercept ages of 2,640??20 m.y. for a red, foliated granite (granite of Long Creek Mountain) and 2,595??40 m.y. for the much larger mass of the granite of Lankin Dome. These ages are statistically distinct (40??20...

Biochemical identification of mallard-black duck hybrids through a breeding program and in nature
R.P. Morgan II, D. W. Meritt, S. B. Block, M. Cole
1978, Transactions of the Northeast Section of the Wildlife Society, Annual Fish and Wildlife Conference (35) 225-236
From 1974 to 1976, a breeding program was used to produce black duck-mallard hybrids for the evaluation of inheritance patterns of serum proteins and esterases. In addition to the initial crosses, a series of matings in 1975 and 1976 were designed to evaluate inheritance patterns in hybrid matings with either...
Waterfowl nesting on small man-made islands in prairie wetlands
R.F. Johnson Jr., R.O. Woodward, L.M. Kirsch
1978, Wildlife Society Bulletin (6) 240-243
Small islands constructed in prairie wetlands were attractive nesting sites for mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis). Nest densities of mallards on islands averaged 135 per ha compared to 0.03 per ha on adjacent upland habitats. Construction time averaged 2 hours per island and cost $50. No maintenance...
Studies on vertical and horizontal transmission of duck plague virus in apparently healthy waterfowl
Elizabeth C. Burgess
1978, Thesis
Healthy waterfowl were found to be carriers of duck plague (DP) virus. Black ducks (Anas rubripes) and Canada geese (Branta canadensis) surviving a natural outbreak of DP at Coloma, Wisconsin, in 1973 yielded DP virus in cloacal swabs taken four years postinfection. Experimental infection of previously unexposed mallard ducks (Anas...

Use of Landsat data to assess waterfowl habitat quality
J.E. Colwell, D.S. Gilmer, E.A. Work Jr., D. Rebel
1978, Report
This report is a discussion of the feasibility of using Landsat data to generate information of value for effective management of migratory waterfowl. Effective management of waterfowl includes regulating waterfowl populations through hunting regulations and habitat management. This report examines the ability to analyze annual production by monitoring the number...

Uranium-isotope variations in groundwaters of the Floridan aquifer and Boulder Zone of south Florida
J.B. Cowart, M. I. Kaufman, J.K. Osmond
1978, Journal of Hydrology (36) 161-172
Water samples from four wells from the main Floridan aquifer (300-400 m below mean sea level) in southeast Florida exhibit 234U 233U activity ratios that are significantly lower than the secular equilibrium value of 1.00. Such anomalous values have been observed previously only in waters from sedimentary aquifers in the...

M.J. Armbruster, T.S. Baskett, W.R. Goforth, K.C. Sadler
1978, Transactions of the Missouri Academy of Science (12) 75-90
Seventy-nine mourning dove call-count runs were made on a 32-km route in Osage County, Missouri, May 1-August 31, 1971 and 1972. Circular study areas, each 61 ha, surrounding stop numbers 4 and 5, were delineated for intensive nest searches and population estimates. Tallies of cooing male doves along the entire...

Changes in submerged aquatic macrophyte populations at the head of Chesapeake Bay, 1958-1975
S. Bayley, Vernon D. Stotts, P. F. Springer, J. Steenis
1978, Estuaries (1) 171-182
Submerged aquatic plant populations in the Susquehanna Flats of the Chesapeake Bay were followed for 18 years. An exotic species, eurasian water milfoil, Myriophyllum spicatum, increased dramatically from 1958 to 1962; at the same time the dominant native species declined. After 1962, milfoil populations declined and the native rooted aquatics...
