The abundance and diversity of the herpetofaunas of tropical forest litters
Norman J. Scott Jr.
1976, Biotropica (8) 41-58
Quantitative and qualitative samples of amphibian and lizard faunas were taken from forest litter in Costa Rica and compared with similar samples collected in Borneo, the Philippines, and Panama. Animal abundance is about ten times greater in Costa Rican lowland wet forest than in Borneo. Radically different routes and rates...

Geochemistry of thermal waters in Long Valley, Mono County, California
Robert H. Mariner, Lawrence M. Willey
1976, Journal of Geophysical Research (81) 792-800
Thermal springs and wells in Long Valley, California, issue sodium bicarbonate‐chloride waters containing 1000–1420 mg/l of dissolved solids. Thermal waters of sodium bicarbonate‐chloride composition are usually associated with hot‐water reservoirs. Chloride concentrations and stable isotope data indicate that the thermal waters have had varied histories. All of the thermal springs...
Roosting ecology of the pallid bat, Antrozous pallidus
Terry A. Vaughan, Thomas J. O'Shea
1976, Journal of Mammalogy (57) 19-42
Daytime roosting behavior of pallid bats (Antrozous pallidus) was studied in central Arizona. Bats were present in the area from March or April until November and roosted in cliffs in colonies generally including 20 or more individuals. Pallid bats were highly selective in their choice of roost sites...

Availability of Earth resources data
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1976, Report
The purpose of this booklet is to help the reader to become aware of the volume of Earth resources data that have been collected by agencies of the United States Government and to find out where and how these data may be obtained. Earth resources data as discussed here are...
Structure and evolution of Bering Sea shelf south of St. Lawrence Island
Michael S. Marlow, David W. Scholl, Alan K. Cooper, E. C. Buffington
1976, AAPG Bulletin (60) 161-183
The virtually featureless Beringian shelf south of St. Lawrence Island is underlain structurally by at least 14 basins. Encompassing a total area of more than 300,000 sq km, most of the basins are either elongate structural sags, grabens, or half (asymmetric) grabens beneath the outer shelf. The regional trend of...

Ground-water quality at the site of a proposed deep-well injection system for treated wastewater, West Palm Beach, Florida
William A. J. Pitt Jr., Frederick W. Meyer
1976, Open-File Report 76-91
The U.S. Geological Survey collected scientific and technical information before, during, and after construction of a deep test well at the location of a future regional waste-water treatment plant to be built for the city of West Palm Beach, Florida. Data from the test well will be used by the...
Simulations of water-level drawdowns in proposed well-field areas, Dade County, Florida
Howard Klein
1976, Open-File Report 76-651
Electrical analog model simulations of hydraulic conditions in the Biscayne aquifer were made at proposed inland well-field sites in Dade County, Florida. Simulated drawdowns of water levels after 7 months of continuous pumping at 50, 100, and 150 million gallons per day were obtained at each site. Simultaneous pumping of...
Geologic data from test drilling in Palm Beach County, Florida since 1970
James J. Schneider
1976, Open-File Report 76-713
Test hole data, in Palm Beach County, Florida, include lithologic logs from 66 test wells and geophysical logs from 54 test wells. The purpose of the study is to provide the geohydrologic information needed for water management and land use decisions, with emphasis on the urbanized eastern part of the...
Nitrogen and phosphorus uptake in the Everglades Conservation Areas, Florida, with special reference to the effects of backpumping runoff
Benjamin F. McPherson, Bradley G. Waller, H. C. Mattraw
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-29
In much of the water pumped into the northern Everglades, Florida, concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus are relatively high. These nutrients are transported in the canals or into the peripheral marshes. Concentrations decrease sharply within 330 feet or less of the canals, whereas specific conductance remains essentially unchanged within...
Analog-model simulations for secondary canal controls and forward pumping water-management schemes in southeast Florida
E. H. Cordes, Richard Alfred Gardner
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-93
The analog model of the Biscayne aquifer of southeast Florida was used to approximate the effects of two proposed water-management schemes. One involved adding a secondary control structure in a major canal which is controlled near the coast. In the model the controls were operated in accordance with canal water...
Analysis of selected benthic communities in Florida Everglades with reference to their physical and chemical environment
Bradley G. Waller
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-28
Species diversity and numbers of benthic macroinvertebrates were determined at 12 sites, both canals and marshes, in the Everglades of south Florida. The values calculated are used to indicate long-term trends in water quality and variations between study areas.Species diversity at all sites was generally in a range indicative of...

Lakes of Oregon, Volume 4: Clackamas County
M.V. Shulters
1976, Report
An inventory of lakes and reservoirs of Oregon is essential for a complete evaluation of the total surface-water supply of the State and to provide a basis for answering questions about Oregon's lakes. Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never...
Coral reef recovery in Florida and the Persian Gulf
Eugene A. Shinn
1976, Environmental Geology (1) 241-254
Long-term observations and study of coral reef destruction by hurricanes in the Florida Keys show, surprisingly, that although corals are devastated on a grand scale during storms, recovery is rapid. Recovery occurs because of the widespread scattering of live fragments, many of which become growth sites...
Steps to the moon
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, Alvin E. Dale
1976, Report
On July 20, 1969, man walked on the surface of the Moon and began a new chapter of his studies that will eventually disclose the geologic nature of the Earth's nearest neighbor. Although he has finally reached the Moon and sampled its substance, much work and study remain before he...

The National Cartographic Information Center (NCIC), established by the U.S. Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, in July 1974, provides a national information service to make cartographic data of the United States more easily accessible to the public and to various Federal, State, and local agencies. At present, more than...
