Modeling chloride movement in the alluvial aquifer at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado
Leonard F. Konikow
1977, Water Supply Paper 2044
A solute-transport model that can be used to predict the movement of dissolved chemicals in flowing ground water was applied to a problem of ground-water contamination at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, near Denver, Colo. The model couples a finite-difference solution to the ground-water flow equation with the method-of-characteristics solution to...
Binorm-a fortran subroutine to calculate the percentiles of a standardized binormal distribution
R.B. McCammon
1977, Computers & Geosciences (3) 335-339
BINORM is a FORTRAN subroutine for calculating the percentiles of a standardized binormal distribution. By using a linear transformation, the percentiles of a binormal distribution can be obtained. The percentiles of a binormal distribution are useful for plotting purposes, for establishing confidence intervals, and for sampling from a mixed population...

Demographic features of a lapland longspur population near Barrow, Alaska
Thomas W. Custer, Frank A. Pitelka
1977, The Auk (94) 505-525
Breeding density, clutch size, hatching and fledging success, and survival of adult Lapland Longspurs (Calcarius lapponicus) were monitored over a 7-year period near the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory, Barrow, Alaska. Nesting begins as soon as the tundra starts to clear of snow and appears to be timed so that the...
Square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode: Experimental
J.A. Turner, J. H. Christie, M. Vukovic, R. A. Osteryoung
1977, Analytical Chemistry (49) 1904-1908
Experimental verification of earlier theoretical work for square wave voltammetry at the dropping mercury electrode is given. Experiments using ferric oxalate and cadmium(II) in HCl confirm excellent agreement with theory. Experimental peak heights and peak widths are found to be within 2% of calculated results. An example of trace analysis...

The Wilderness Study Area consists of about 322,300 hectares (1,250 square miles or 796,400 acres) on the southwest side of the Coast Range in southeastern Alaska about 72 km (45 miles) southeast of Juneau, Alaska (fig. 1). An additional 142,800 hectares (550 square miles or 352,900 acres) lying in part...
Rising ground-water level in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, 1972-1977
J. M. Kernodle, D. V. Whitesides
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-92
Ground-water levels in the alluvial aquifer in Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, are rising at a rate which could cause wet basements and possible structural damage tc buildings in the downtown area by 1982. The predicted water level for 1982 is based on the nearly linear increase which has been observed...

Breeding avifauna of the south San Francisco Bay estuary
Robert E. Gill Jr.
1977, Western Birds (8) 1-12
San Francisco Bay represents one of the largest estuarine areas on the Pacific Coast of North America. Its open waters, tidal flats, tidal marshes and solar evaporation ponds provide critical foraging, resting and breeding habitat for migratory and resident birds. The avifauna of San Francisco Bay has received considerable attention;...
