The last 2 months of the year were somewhat active, seismically speaking, including three major earthquakes (7.0-7.9) during the month of December. The first of the major quakes was in the Aegean Sea on December 19, and the other two were in the South Pacific in the Kermadee Islands on...
Progress of the seismological program in El Salvador
M. A. Martinez
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 39-43
El Salvador is located in Central America at the axis of geographical coordinates 14° north latitude and 89° west longitude. Situated inside the circumpacific "ring of fire" it is thus vulnerable to sudden earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Since 1520, El Salvador has sustained approximately 40 destructive earthquakes, an average of one...
Engineering aspects of seismological studies in Peru
L. Ocola
1982, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (14) 33-38
Large and small earthquakes occur frequently in Peru. Official institutions in charge of the study of seismological and geophysical aspects of such large natural events have a responsibility to provide engineers, planners, and government officials with basic data to implement safety measures to minimize the destructive impact of great earthquakes. The...

Evaluation of 0.46- to 2.36-mu m multispectral scanner images of the east Tintic mining district, Utah, for mapping hydrothermally altered rocks
L. C. Rowan, A.B. Kahle
1982, Economic Geology (77) 441-452
Airborne multispectral scanner images recorded in the 0.46- to 2.36-mu m region for the East Tintic mining district, Utah, were evaluated to determine their usefulness for distinguishing six types of hydrothermally altered rocks from a wide range of sedimentary and igneous rock types. Limestone, dolomite, and argillaceous rocks were of...

1982, Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology (28) 319-321
In April 1980, a Cooper's hawk (Accipiter cooperii) was found on the ground in Lakewood, Colorado, unable to fly and in convulsion. The bird died shortly thereafter. The hawk was packed in dry ice and shipped air express to the Fish and Wildlife Service, U. S. Department of the Interior,...

1982, Mineralogical Magazine (46) 351-355
Dwornikite, (Ni1−xFex)SO4 · H2O is a member of the kieserite group, monoclinic with space group C2/c. Specimens from Minasragra, Peru with x ∼ 0.1 have a unit cell with a = 6.839(2), b = 7.582(2), c = 7.474(2) Å, and β = 117.85(2)°. The six strongest lines of the...

Comparative hatching success of lake trout eggs in Lake Michigan water and well water
Carol C. Edsall, Michael J. Mac
1982, Progressive Fish-Culturist (44) 47-48
A study was undertaken to examine the influence of water from southern Lake Michigan on the survival of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) eggs by comparing the hatching success of eggs from the same source incubated in water from Lake Michigan, or from the laboratory well. It is concluded that the...
Water-soluble material on aerosols collected within volcanic eruption clouds

1982, Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans (87) 4963-4972
In February and March of 1978, filter samplers mounted on an aircraft were used to collect the aerosol fraction of the eruption clouds from three active Guatemalan volcanoes (Fuego, Pacaya, and Santiaguito). The samples were collected on Teflon (Fluoropore) filters with a nominal pore diameter of 0.5μm. The mass of...
Food of freshwater drum in western Lake Erie
Michael T. Bur
1982, Journal of Great Lakes Research (8) 672-675
The abundance of freshwater drum (Aplodinotus grunniens) suggests they play an important role in the Lake Erie ecosystem. Our analysis of freshwater drum digestive tracts and macrobenthic samples collected from western Lake Erie indicates that drum were selective feeders. Planktonic cladocerans and larval midges (Chironomidae) were the primary prey organisms...
Variability in nest survival rates and implications to nesting studies

We used four reasonably large samples (83-213) of Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and Blue-winged Teal (A. discors) nests on an interstate highway right-of-way in southcentral North Dakota to evaluate potential biases in hatch-rate estimates. Twelve consecutive, weekly searches for nests were conducted with a cable-chain drag in 1976 and 1977. Nests...

1982, Journal of the Water Pollution Control Federation (54) 1231-1236
The reliability of the river die-away (RDA) test for establishing the biodegradability of chemicals was assessed. Reproducibility of biodegradation in the RDA test was analyzed under conditions in which the test is commonly done. Biodegradation results were not reproducible for di-2-ethylexyl phthalate (DEHP) and phthalic acid in replicated RDA tests...
Use of Landsat data to evaluate lesser prairie chicken habitats in western Oklahoma

1982, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (46) 915-922
Landsat digital data were used to evaluate lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) habitats in western Oklahoma. Data for 7 (4,144 ha) study areas, 4 in shinnery oak (Quercus havardii), and 3 in sand sagebrush (Artemisia filifolia) rangeland, were analyzed using the Interactive Digital Image Manipulation System at the EROS Center....
Blake Plateau: Control of Miocene sedimentation patterns by large-scale shifts of the Gulf Stream axis
P.R. Pinet, P. Popenoe
1982, Geology (10) 257-259
The distribution of buried channel networks within Cenozoic sequences of the Blake Plateau and their correlation with global sea-level oscillations indicate that the Gulf Stream axis shifted landward against the Florida-Hatteras Slope during sea-level high-stands and seaward across the central Blake Plateau during...

The nomenclatural enigma of single versus double -i endings for scientific patronyms emended to represent a man's name: A comment and some considerations
M.R. Jennings
1982, Fisheries (7) 9-10
The current inconsistency over the use of single vs. double -i endings for singular masculine scientific patronyms in official lists of scientific names of fishes causes needless confusion and labor. Taxonomists once preferred rules for Latinization calling for double -i endings, but current rules suggest single -i endings. Recent rulings by the International Commission of Zoological...

1982, Wildlife Society Bulletin (10) 232-237
Nesting waterfowl were studied in 1978 and 1980 on 15 newly established islands with an area of 19 ha in 7,430-ha Lake Audubon in the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), North Dakota. Islands ranged in size from 0.2 to 5.0 ha and were 60-1,600 m from the mainland. Cover available...
