Oxygen isotopic determinations of sequentially erupted plagioclases in the 1974 magma of Fuego Volcano, Guatemala
W.I. Rose Jr., I. Friedman, L. G. Woodruff
1980, Bulletin Volcanologique (43) 191-194
Plagioclases in the 1974 high-Al basalt from Fuego Volcano have ??O18 values of +6.0 to +8.5 per mil. Meteoric water cannot have played a significant role in Fuego's magma. Large, weakly zone clear phenocrysts had ??O18 values in the accepted mantle range, while patchyzoned and oscillatory-zoned plagioclases inferred to have...
The asiatic clam, Corbicula fluminea (Müller), in the tidal Potomac River, Maryland
Paul V. Dresler, Robert L. Cory
1980, Estuaries (3) 150-151
The Asiatic clam,Corbicula fluminea (Müller), has extended its range to include the tidal fresh-water portion of the Potomac River, Maryland. Though patchily distributed, the clams have attained densities of 665 m−2. Size-class distributions indicate that the clams first appeared in 1975. About 90% of the population belong to year-class I...
Storm runoff as related to urbanization in the Portland, Oregon-Vancouver, Washington Area
Antonius Laenen
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-689
A series of equations was developed to provide a better method of determining flood frequencies in the Portland-Vancouver urban area than is now available. The resulting regression equations can be used to compute peak discharge and storm runoff with a standard error of estimate of approximately 30 percent. Basins used...

1980, Estuaries (3) 155-167
Thirty-three ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) that were found dead or moribund in the Eastern United States between 1964 and 1973 were necropsied. The brains and carcasses of 26 of these birds were analyzed for organochlorines. The livers of 18 and the kidneys of 7 were analyzed for selected metals. Most adults...

Estimating the size and trend of the California condor population, 1965-1978
S.R. Wilbur
1980, California Fish and Game (66) 40-48
During 1965-1978, three principal methods were used to measure the size and trend of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) population. An October survey conducted by as many as 136 observers had limited value because daily activity patterns of condors were unpredictable and because analysis of results could not be...
