Type C botulism losses at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, 1978
R. M. Windingstad, R. M. Duncan, R.L. Drieslein
1980, Transactions of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts, and Letters (68) 208-211
Avian botulism was responsible for the death of over 6,000 waterfowl at Horicon National Wildlife Refuge in Wisconsin in 1978. The outbreak occurred in early fall on a flooded 250 hectare fallow agricultural area on the northeast end of the refuge. The species most severely affected was the green-winged teal...
Hydrocarbon gas in sediment from the shelf, slope and basin of the Bering Sea.
K.A. Kvenvolden, G.D. Redden
1980, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (44) 1145-1150
Methane, ethane, ethene, propane, propene, isobutane and n-butane are present in low concentrations in the top 2m of sediment. Methane is most abundant and its concentration increases with depth in the sediment. Ethane, ethene, propane and propene are present in almost all samples, but the concentrations of these gases are...
Littoral transport in the surf zone elucidated by an Eulerian sediment tracer
D.B. Duane, W.R. James
1980, Journal of Sedimentary Petrology (50) 929-942
An Eulerian, or time integration, sand tracer experiment was designed and carried out in the surf zone near Pt. Mugu, California on April 19, 1972. Data indicate that conditions of stationarity and finite boundaries required for proper application of Eulerian tracer theory exist...
Geochemical evolution of brines in the Salar of Uyuni, Bolivia.
S.L. Rettig, B.F. Jones, F. Risacher
1980, Chemical Geology (30) 57-79
Recent analyses of brines from the Salars of Uyuni and Coipasa have been compared with published data for Lakes Titicaca and Poopo to evaluate solute compositional trends in these remnants of two large Pleistocene lakes once connected by overflow from the N to the S of the Bolivian Altiplano. From...
Mount St. Helens eruptive behavior during the past 1500 yr
R. Hoblitt, D. R. Crandell, D. R. Mullineaux
1980, Geology (8) 555-559
During the past 1,500 yr Mount St. Helens, Washington, has repeatedly erupted dacite domes, tephra, and pyroclastic flows as well as andesite lava flows and tephra. Two periods of activity prior to 1980, each many decades long, were both initiated by eruptions of...
Implications of regional gravity for state of stress in the earth's crust and upper mantle
M. McNutt
1980, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (85) 6377-6396
Topography is maintained by stress differences within the earth. Depending on the distribution of the stress we classify the support as either local or regional compensation. In general, the stresses implied in a regional compensation scheme are an order of magnitude larger than those corresponding to local isostasy. Gravity anomalies,...
Flameless atomic-absorption determination of gold in geological materials
A. L. Meier
1980, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (13) 77-85
Gold in geologic material is dissolved using a solution of hydrobromic acid and bromine, extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone, and determined using an atomic-absorption spectrophotometer equipped with a graphite furnace atomizer. A comparison of results obtained by this flameless atomic-absorption method on U.S. Geological Survey reference rocks and geochemical samples...
The frontal method in hydrodynamics simulations
Roy A. Walters
1980, Computers and Fluids (8) 265-272
The frontal solution method has proven to be an effective means of solving the matrix equations resulting from the application of the finite element method to a variety of problems. In this study, several versions of the frontal method were compared in efficiency for several hydrodynamics problems. Three basic modifications...
Nest site and colony characteristics of wading birds in selected Atlantic Coast colonies
Donald L. Beaver, Ronald G. Osborn, Thomas W. Custer
1980, The Wilson Bulletin (92) 200-220
Nests of 5 species of wading birds were identified and marked during the breeding season at 6 locations from Massachusetts to North Carolina. At the end of the breeding season 12 characteristics of nest-site location were measured. Nest locations were mapped to examine dispersion and nearest neighbor relationships. Multivariate analyses...
Radioactivity method
J. S. Duval
1980, Geophysics (45) 1690-1694
Radioactivity measurements have played an important role in geophysics since about 1935, and they have increased in importance to the present. The most important areas of application have been in petroleum and uranium exploration. Radioactivity measurements have proved useful in geologic mapping, as well as in specialized applications such as...
Evolution of the continental margin of southern Spain and the Alboran Sea
William P. Dillon, James M. Robb, H. Gary Greene, Juan Carlos Lucena
1980, Marine Geology (36) 205-226
Seismic reflection profiles and magnetic intensity measurements were collected across the southern continental margin of Spain and the Alboran basin between Spain and Africa. Correlation of the distinct seismic stratigraphy observed in the profiles to stratigraphic information obtained from cores at Deep Sea Drilling Project site 121 allows effective dating...
Rare earth element distribution in some hydrothermal minerals: Evidence for crystallographic control
J. W. Morgan, G.A. Wandless
1980, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (44) 973-980
Rare earth element (REE) abundances were measured by neutron activation analysis in anhydrite (CaSO4), barite (BaSO4), siderite (FeCO3) and galena (PbS). A simple crystal-chemical model qualitatively describes the relative affinities for REE substitution in anhydrite, barite, and siderite. When normalized to ‘crustal’ abundances (as an approximation to the hydrothermal fluid...
Computational methods for a three-dimensional model of the petroleum-discovery process
J.H. Schuenemeyer, W.J. Bawiec, L.J. Drew
1980, Computers & Geosciences (6) 323-360
A discovery-process model devised by Drew, Schuenemeyer, and Root can be used to predict the amount of petroleum to be discovered in a basin from some future level of exploratory effort: the predictions are based on historical drilling and discovery data. Because marginal costs of discovery and production are a...
Submarine volcanic features west of Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii
D.J. Fornari, J. P. Lockwood, P. W. Lipman, M. Rawson, A. Malahoff
1980, Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (7) 323-337
Visual observations of submarine volcanic vents were made from the submersible vehicle DSV "Sea Cliff" in water depths between 1310 and 690 m, west of Kealakekua Bay, Hawaii. Glass-rich, shelly submarine lavas surround circular 1- to 3-m-diameter volcanic vents between 1050 and 690 m depth in an area west-northwest of...
Effects of the rate of releases from Sam Rayburn Reservoir on the aeration capacity of the Angelina River, eastern Texas
Jack Rawson, Richard L. Goss, Ira G. Rathbun
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-58
A three-phase study was conducted during July and August 1979 to determine the effects of varying release rates through the power-outlet works at Sam Rayburn Reservoir, eastern Texas, on aeration capacity of a 14-mile reach of the Angelina River below Sam Rayburn Dam. The dominant factors that affected the aeration...
Paleozoic paleomagnetism and northward drift of the Alexander terrane, southeastern Alaska
R. Van Der Voo, M. Jones, C. S. Grommé, G.D. Eberlein, M. Churkin Jr.
1980, Journal of Geophysical Research Solid Earth (85) 5281-5296
Paleozoic limestone, graywacke, sandstone, milestone, red beds and volcanic rocks of the Alexander terrane, southeastern Alaska, have yielded six paleomagnetic pole positions after thermal and alternating-field demagnetization. These poles are from sample groups of late Middle Ordovician, Late Ordovician, Devonian, Late Devonian, and early and late Carboniferous age. To test...
Organic content of Devonian shale in western Appalachian basin
James W. Schmoker
1980, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (64) 2156-2165
In the organic-rich facies of the Devonian shale in the western part of the Appalachian basin, the distribution of organic matter provides an indirect measure of both gas in place and the capacity of the shale to supply gas to permeable pathways.The boundary between organic-rich ('black') and organic-poor ('gray') facies...
