Species diversity: Patterns in modern and Miocene foraminifera of the eastern margin of North America
Thomas G. Gibson, Martin A. Buzas
1973, Geological Society of America Bulletin (84) 217-238
Patterns of foraminiferal species diversity were examined along the eastern margin of North America by utilizing the number of species, S, the information function, H(S), and species equitability, E. The 350 modern samples we studied extended from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico at depths ranging from a few...

Use of ground water for irrigation in Seward County, Nebraska in 1971
Eugene K. Steele Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 7308
Use of ground water for irrigation in Seward County west of the Big Blue River increased tremendously from 1945 to 1971. During that period, the number of irrigation wells increased from 5 to 614. Ground-water withdrawals prior to 1971 are estimated to have reduced ground-water storage by about 270,000 acre-feet,...
Water records of the U.S. Virgin Islands, 1962-69
Tully M. Robinson
1973, Report
The surface-water, quality of water, and ground-water records of the Virgin Islands from 1962 through 1969 are presented in this report. The location of all stations in this report are shown on the individual island maps. Each island map is followed by the tabulation of water records for that island....

Land subsidence due to ground-water withdrawal Arvin-Maricopa area, California
Ben Elder Lofgren
1973, Report
The Arvin-Maricopa area is the southernmost of three principal areas of widespread subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley. As of 1970, 700 square miles of irrigable land, roughly 60 percent of the area, has subsided due to the intensive pumping of ground water. Maximum subsidence exceeds 9 feet, and the...

Transit losses and travel times for reservoir releases, upper Arkansas River Basin, Colorado
Russell K. Livingston
1973, Colorado Water Resources Circular 20
Factors influencing reservoir releases were analyzed for the upper reach of the Arkansas River in Colorado.The time of travel of releases from Twin Lakes Reservoir to Colorado Canal, a distance of 175 miles, ranges from 29 to 69 hours depending on the antecedent flow of the Arkansas River. Travel time...

Timing of mesozoic and cenozoic plutonic events in circum-Pacific North America
Marvin A. Lanphere, Bruce L. Reed
1973, GSA Bulletin (84) 3773-3782
Evaluation of isotopic ages of granitic intrusive rocks of large batholiths in circum-Pacific North America indicates that Mesozoic and Cenozoic plutonism was episodic but not periodic. Three intrusive epochs have been defined in the Alaska-Aleutian Range batholith of Alaska on the basis of...
Mathematical simulation of temperatures in deep impoundments: verification tests of the Water Resources Engineers, Inc. model - Horsetooth and Flaming Gorge Reservoirs
D.L. King, Jim J. Sartoris
1973, Report
Successful use of predictive mathematical models requires verification of the accuracy of the models by applying them to existing situations where the prediction can be compared with reality. A Corps of Engineers' modification of a deep reservoir thermal stratification model developed by Water Resources Engineers, Inc., was applied to...

Chemical quality of ground water in Hawaii
Lindsay A. Swain
1973, Report R48
As the quantity of water needed in certain localities of Hawaii is rapidly approaching the quantity of usable water available, identification and protection of the quality of existing and potential water supplies are becoming ever more critical. Certain factors are already identifiable as problems affecting the quality of ground water...
Selected storm events in 5-minute increments from Missouri rainfall stations at Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, and Columbia, Mo., for the period 1892-1970
Leland D. Hauth
1973, Report
The purpose of this report is to present daily precipitation (see table A) and continual incremental (5-minute duration) rainfall data through entire storm periods (see table B) at four of the longest first-order National Weather Service station records in Missouri. These basic data can be used in model studies, unit-hydrographic...

Effects of exploitation, environmental changes, and new species on the fish habitats and resources of Lake Erie
Wilbur L. Hartman
1973, Technical Report 22
No other lake as large as Lake Erie (surface area, 25,690 km2) has been subjected to such extensive changes in the drainage basin, the lake environment, and the fish populations over the last 150 years. Deforestation and prairie burning led to erosion of the watershed and siltation of valuable spawning...
Aeromagnetic discovery of a Baltimore Gneiss dome in the Piedmont of northwestern Delaware and southeastern Pennsylvania
Michael W. Higgins, George Wescott Fisher, Isidore Zietz
1973, Geology (1) 41-43
In the central Appalachian Piedmont the “basement complex” is an assemblage of 1,100- to 1,300-m.y.-old gneisses, migmatites, and amphibolites that crops out in “domes” mantled by younger meta-sedimentary rocks of the Glenarm Series. Aeromagnetic data and reconnaissance field work indicate that a previously unknown Baltimore Gneiss dome, here called the...
Chemical stability of preserved oligotrophic water samples
V. A. Adomaitis, J.A. Shoesmith, G.A. Swanson
1973, Proceedings of the North Dakota Academy of Science (26) 1-5
Tests were conducted to determine whether changes that may occur in the chemical characteristics of stored oligotrophic waters collected on 15 sites in northeastern Minnesota were affected by chloroforming. Chloroform was added on site to one of each pair of samples to stabilize the organic content of the water by...
Dolomitization model for Upper Cambrian and Lower Ordovician carbonate rocks in the eastern United States
Leonard D. Harris
1973, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) 63-78
Existing models for dolomitization emphasize that penecontemporaneous dolomitization can occur in both subtidal and supratidal environments if the necessary chemical and physical factors favorable for the development of magnesium-rich hypersaline waters exist. Holocene shallow-water hypersaline environments that have the potential to produce dolomite without deposition of more soluble evaporite minerals are found in Shark Bay, Australia,...
Chemical composition of a saline lake on Enderbury Island, Phoenix Island Group, Pacific Ocean

Ion activity products for the dissolution of calcite, aragonite, gypsum, monetite, brushite, dolomite, magnesite, hydroxyapatite, and fluorapatite were calculated for a South Pacific guano island brine with an ionic strength of 6.4. Environmental conditions for the brine at the time of analysis and of sampling indicated saturation with respect to calcite, aragonite, gypsum, hydroxyapatite and...
