Notes on sedimentation activities calendar year 1982
1983, Report
This report is a digest of information furnished by those Federal agencies conducting sedimentation investigations. It includes descriptions of work in progress or planned, important findings, new methods, new publications, laboratory and other research activities, and other pertinent information. The material has been organized by major drainage regions in the...
Elevated DDE and toxaphene residues in fishes and birds reflect local contamination in the lower Rio Grande valley Texas USA
Donald H. White, C. A. Mitchell, H.R. Kennedy, A. J. Krynitsky, M. A. Ribick
1983, Southwestern Naturalist (28) 325-334
A potential organochlorine pesticide problem was identified near Mission, Texas, by the National Park Monitoring Program. Fish samples from this site have consistently contained elevated levels of DDE since 1968. Surveys were made in 1976, 1978, and 1979 to determine the extent of organochlorine pesticide contamination in fishes and birds...
Method for in vitro screening of aquatic fungicides
T.A. Bailey
1983, Journal of Fish Diseases (6) 91-100
Methods were developed for in vitro screening of candidate aquatic fungicides for efficacy against Achlya flagellata, A. racemosa, Saprolegnia hypogyna and S. megasperma. Agar plugs containing fungal hyphae, removed from the edge of actively growing colonies, were placed in the depressions of spot plates containing 1.0, 10.0 and 100 mg/l...
Seasonal food of juvenile lake trout in U.S. waters of Lake Ontario
Joseph H. Elrod
1983, Journal of Great Lakes Research (9) 396-402
Stomach contents of 3,554 lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), 100 to 449 mm in total length, captured with bottom trawls during April through October 1978–81 along the south shore of Lake Ontario were examined. Invertebrates appeared to be an important food of lake trout less than 200 mm long but were...
Earthquakes in the Orozco transform zone: seismicity, source mechanisms, and tectonics
Anne M. Trehu, Sean C. Solomon
1983, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (88) 8203-8225
As part of the Rivera Ocean Seismic Experiment, a network of ocean bottom seismometers and hydrophones was deployed in order to determine the seismic characteristics of the Orozco transform fault in the central eastern Pacific. We present hypocentral locations and source mechanisms for 70 earthquakes recorded by this network. All...
Seabirds between Alaska and Hawaii
Patrick J. Gould
1983, The Condor (85) 286-291
Seabirds were observed between Alaska and Hawaii along 158°W longitude from 24 October to 6 November 1976. Their distributions and abundances corresponded remarkably well to oceanographic regions. Indices of seabird density dropped in a series of plateaus from 44 birds/km2 in the Alaska Current System to less than 1 bird/km2...
The occurrence of oil and the distribution of Hexagenia (Ephemeroptera: Ephemeridae) nymphs in the St. Marys River, Michigan and Ontario
Jarl K. Hiltunen, Donald W. Schloesser
1983, Freshwater Invertebrate Biology (2) 199-203
We sampled benthos from the St. Marys River in May 1974 and May 1975 to determine visibly the occurrence of sorpted oil and the distribution of nymphs of the burrowing mayfly Hexagenia in the bottom of the Lake George and Lake Nicolet channels. Results of our survey showed that, between...
Observations of emperor geese feeding at Nelson Lagoon, Alaska
Margaret R. Petersen
1983, The Condor (85) 367-368
Estuaries along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula provide essential habitat for most of the American population of Emperor Goose (Chen canagica) during migration (Petersen and Gill 1982). Most of the population passes through Nelson Lagoon in spring and fall, with over 40,000 birds recorded there (Gill et al...
Detection of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus in river water and demonstration of waterborne transmission
Daniel M. Mulcahy, Ronald J. Pascho, C.K. Jenes
1983, Journal of Fish Diseases (6) 321-330
In a study of the possible role of waterborne infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus in transmission of the disease among spawning sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka (Walbaum), both infection rates and virus titres were higher in fish held at high density in a side channel than in fish in the adjacent river....
Rb-Sr, Sm-Nd, K-Ca, O, and H isotopic study of Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary sediments, Caravaca, Spain: evidence for an oceanic impact site
D.J. DePaolo, F.T. Kyte, B.D. Marshall, J. R. O’Neil, J. Smit
1983, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (64) 356-373
Isotopic ratios and trace element abundances were measured on samples of Ir-enriched clay at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, and in carbonate and marl from 5 cm below and 3 cm above the boundary. Samples were leached with acetic acid to remove carbonate, and with hydrochloric acid. Leachates and residues were measured....
HIGH-TEMPERATURE GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES IN HYDROTHERMAL CONVECTION SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Manuel Nathenson
1983, Conference Paper, Electric Power Research Institute, Advanced Power Systems Division, (Report) EPRI AP
The calculation of high-temperature geothermal resources ( greater than 150 degree C) in the United States has been done by estimating the temperature, area, and thickness of each identified system. These data, along with a general model for recoverability of geothermal energy and a calculation that takes account of the...
The isotopic and chemical evolution of Mount St. Helens
A. N. Halliday, A.E. Fallick, A.P. Dickin, A.B. Mackenzie, W.E. Stephens, W. Hildreth
1983, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (63) 241-256
Isotopic and major and trace element analysis of nine samples of eruptive products spanning the history of the Mt. St. Helens volcano suggest three different episodes; (1) 40,000–2500 years ago: eruptions of dacite with εNd = +5, εSr = −10, variable δ18O,206Pb/204Pb ∼ 18.76, Ca/Sr ∼...
Statistical evaluation of oil and gas prospects in the outer continental shelf of the U.S. Gulf Coast
J.C. Davis, J.W. Harbaugh
1983, Journal of the International Association for Mathematical Geology (15) 217
Areas of the U.S. Gulf Coast, both onshore and offshore, are among the petroliferous regions of the United States. In offshore Louisiana and Texas, most oil and gas is associated with structurally controlled traps on the crest or flanks of domes created by the diapiric movement of salt. These structures...
