1976, Report
This report is a program documentation to the latest revision (1975) of the unsteady open-channel flow simulation model by the method of characteristics, Version 13 in the program series, which employs a multiple-reach scheme treating each subreach as a prismatic shape. A long waterway of variable cross section, properties and...

A reward band study of mallards to estimate band reporting rates
Charles J. Henny, K.P. Burnham
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 1-14
Reward bands ($10) were placed on 2,122 hatching-year mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), and an additional 11,490 received conventional bands (controls) to estimate band reporting rates. An analysis of band recoveries indicated that the reporting rate was dependent primarily upon three factors: (1) the distance banded birds were recovered from the banding...
Some characteristics of fall migration of female woodcock
R.A. Coon, P.D. Caldwell, G.L. Storm
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 91-95
Nine female woodcock (Philohela minor) were radio-tagged in central Pennsylvania before fall migration to monitor premigratory and migratory movements. Within 15 days of departure, 5 of the birds moved 0.8 to 8.0 km from their normally used area, but the remaining 4 did not move. In 1973 five marked woodcock...
Delayed molt of primary feathers of mourning doves during winter
J.W. Ault, V.J. Heller, J. C. Lewis, J.A. Morrison
1976, Journal of Wildlife Management (40) 184-187
During a study of the ecology of mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) in Jackson County, southwestern Oklahoma, we noted (Morrison and Lewis 1974) that the post juvenal molt of primary feathers progressed at a slower rate than is described in the literature (Jenkins 1955:23, Swank 1955, Southeastern Association of Game and...

1976, Report
The report contains physical, chemical, and biological information collected on 43 Maine lakes during the 1975 calendar year. Methods for the collection and analysis of the hydrologic data are outlined.Physical characteristics listed include drainage area, surface area, surface elevation, volume, maximum depth, mean depth, epilimnion depth, epilimnion volume, and length...
Hydrologic Unit Map - 1974, state of Montana
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1976, Hydrologic Unit 26
This map and accompanying table show Hydrologic Units that are basically hydrographic in nature. The Cataloging Units shown will supplant the Cataloging Units previously used by the U.S. Geological Survey in its Catalog of Informaiton on Water Data (1966-72). The previous U.S. Geological Survey Catalog-Indexing System was by map number...

Flood frequency of Mississippi streams
B.E. Colson, James W. Hudson
1976, Report
Techniques have been developed for estimating future flood magnitudes having recurrence intervals as great as 100 years. Estimates for gaged sites were obtained by application of the log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution. Estimates for ungaged sites are defined by mathematical relations which may be solved using data from topographic maps....

Geothermal handbook
1976, FWS/OBS 76/36
The Bureau of Land Management offered over 400,000 hectares (one million acres) for geothermal exploration and development in 1975, and figure is expected to double this year. The Energy Research and Development Administration hopes for 10-15,000 megawatts of geothermal energy by 1985, which would require, leasing over 16.3 million hectares...
Textural variation within Great Salt Lake algal mounds
Robert B. Halley
1976, Book chapter, Stromatolites
This chapter discusses textural variation within the Great Salt Lake algal mounds. Great Salt Lake algal mounds contain: (1) a framework of non-skeletal, algally induced aragonite precipitates; (2) internal sediment; and (3) inorganic cement. These three elements create a variety of laminated, poorly laminated, and unlaminated internal textures. Interior framework...

A method and fortran program for quantitative sampling in paleontology
J.C. Tipper

The Unit Sampling Method is a binomial sampling method applicable to the study of fauna preserved in rocks too well cemented to be disaggregated. Preliminary estimates of the probability of detecting each group in a single sampling unit can be converted to estimates of the group's volumetric abundance by means...
Hydrology of the North Cascades region, Washington: 2. A proposed hydrometeorological streamflow prediction method
Wendell V. Tangborn, Lowell A. Rasmussen
1976, Water Resources Research (12) 203-216
On the basis of a linear relationship between winter (October-April) precipitation and annual runoff from a drainage basin (Rasmussen and Tangborn, 1976) a physically reasonable model for predicting summer (May-September) streamflow from drainages in the North Cascades region was developed. This hydrometeorological prediction method relates streamflow for a season beginning...
