Experimental deformation of polycrystalline H2O ice at high pressure and low temperature: Preliminary results
W.B. Durham, H. C. Heard, Stephen H. Kirby
1983, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (88) B377-B392
Interest in the mechanical properties of water ice under the conditions in which it exists in the outer solar system has motivated the development and use of a new high‐pressure, low‐temperature triaxial deformation apparatus. Constant displacement rate tests on 70 samples of pure polycrystalline water ice have been performed at...
Rheology of the lithosphere
Stephen H. Kirby
1983, Reviews of Geophysics and Space Physics (21) 1458-1487
During the quadrennial term 1979–1982, major advances have been made in our knowledge of the rheology of the oceanic lithosphere by the skillful combination of experimental and theoretical rock mechanics, seismology and marine geophysics in increasingly sophisticated models for the flexure of the oceanic lithosphere at seamounts and island chains,...

Temperature and precipitation estimates through the last glacial cycle from Clear Lake, California, pollen data
D.P. Adam, G. James West
1983, Science (219) 168-170
Modern pollen surface samples from six lake and marsh sites in the northern California Coast Ranges establish a linear relation between elevation and the oak/(oak + pine) pollen ratio. Modern temperature and precipitation lapse rates were used to convert variations in the pollen ratio into temperature and...
Geologic evolution of Hess Rise, central North Pacific Ocean
T. L. Vallier, Walter E. Dean, David K. Rea, Jorn Thiede
1983, GSA Bulletin (94) 1289-1307
Cores from four Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) sites (310, 464, 465, and 466) and seismic-reflection profiles provide data that are used to interpret the geological evolution and paleoenvironments of Hess Rise, a prominent oceanic plateau in the central North Pacific Ocean. Hess Rise apparently formed in the Southern Hemisphere...
The chemical composition of lakes in the north‐central United States
Eville Gorham, Walter E. Dean, J.E. Sanger
1983, Limnology and Oceanography (28) 287-301
Lake waters of the north‐central U.S.A. are classified into five groups, based on increasing specific conductivity and changes in ionic composition from east to west, from Wisconsin through Minnesota to North and South Dakota. The most dilute group of waters has specific conductivities <29 µmhos · cm−1 at 25°C; the most concentrated...
Tectonic evolution of Gulf of Anadyr and formation of Anadyr and Navarin basins
Michael S. Marlow, Alan K. Cooper, Jonathan R. Childs
1983, AAPG Bulletin (67) 646-665
New seismic reflectionand refraction data reveal that Anadyr basin is separated from Navarin basin by Anadyr ridge, a southeast-northwest-trending bedrock high that is characterized by high-amplitude, short-wavelength magnetic anomalies. Anadyr ridge may be an offshore extension of the melange belt underlying the Koryak Range. Sonobuoy refraction data indicate that the...
Wandering terranes in southern Alaska: The Aleutia Microplate and implications for the Bering Sea
Michael S. Marlow, Alan K. Cooper
1983, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (88) 3439-3446
Paleomagnetic and geological data suggest that much of southern Alaska is a collage of tectonostratigraphic terranes which originated in Mesozoic time at paleolatitudes far south of their present position. The time of ‘docking’ of the terranes against cratonic Alaska is critical to defining their amalgamated size and extent during their...

Nearshore phytoplankton of Hammond Bay, Lake Huron
Charles L. Brown, Bruce A. Manny
1983, Journal of Great Lakes Research (9) 523-529
To predict the effects of increased nutrient loading on nearshore phytoplankton populations in northern Lake Huron, we collected phytoplankton from a small, nearshore water intake at Hammond Bay four times per week from August 1973 to July 1975. Phytoplankton density, taxonomic composition, and biomass in the nearshore waters followed predictable,...
The Galilean satellite geological mapping program
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1983, Conference Paper
The Galilean Satellite Geological Mapping Program was established to illuminate detailed geologic relations on the four large satellites of Jupiter. The program involves about 40 investigators from various universities, reseach institutes, and government offices in the United Sttes, England, Germany, and Italy. A total of 24 researchers have been assigned...
Population biology of yellow perch in southern Lake Michigan, 1971-79
LaRue Wells, Sherrell C. Jorgenson
1983, Technical Paper 109
This study was based mainly on gill-net collections of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) made during July and August 1971-79, in southern Lake Michigan at Grand Haven, Saugatuck, South Haven, Benton Harbor, and New Buffalo, Michigan; Michigan City and Gary, Indiana; Waukegan, Illinois; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Abundance of yellow perch was...

Possible relationships between trichinellosis and abnormal behavior in bears
David E. Worley, Kenneth R. Greer, Daniel A. Palmisciano
1983, Book chapter, International Conference on Bear Research and Management
Data compiled from parasite studies of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) and black bears (U. americanus) in the Yellowstone and Glacier National Park populations and surrounding areas of Montana and Wyoming during 1969-79 are reviewed with reference to the possible influence of infection with the muscleworm Trichinella sp. on bear behavior....

Grizzly bear: habitat relationships in the Yellowstone area
Bonnie M. Blanchard
1983, Bears: Their Biology and Management (5) 118-123
Habitat use by grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) was studied from 1977 through 1979 in a 20,000-km2 area with Yellowstone National Park in the center. Of 1826 aerial radio locations of 46 instrumental grizzlies, 90% were in timber. Three-fourths of the locations were 100 m or less from an edge between...
Lead accumulation and depression of δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) in young birds fed automotive waste oil
W. C. Eastin Jr., David J. Hoffman, C. T. O’Leary
1983, Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (12) 31-35
The effects of a 3-week dietary exposure to automotive waste crankcase oil (WCO) were examined in 1-week-old mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducklings and pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) chicks. Treatment groups consisted of birds exposed to 0.5, 1.5, or 4.5% WCO, to 4.5% clean crankcase oil (CCO), or untreated controls. In both species,...
The role of the USFWS geographic information system in coastal decisionmaking
Robert Ader, Floyd O. Stayner
1983, Conference Paper, Auto-Carto 5: Proceedings: Environmental assessment and resource management
Unprecedented demand on coastal resources in the 1980's has generated a need for valid information and analyses to support wise management of the coastal zone. The National Coastal Ecosystems Team of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently implemented a geographic information system to enhance its ability to analyze and...
Aspects of food finding by wintering Bald Eagles
Susan K. Knight, Richard L. Knight
1983, The Auk (100) 477-484
We examined three aspects of food location by Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) wintering along the Nooksack River, Washington. First, eagles used intra- and interspecific local enhancement to locate food. Second, the time that eagles spent aerially searching for food, as indicated by the percentage of eagles flying or soaring, was...
