Selenography and selenodesy with Apollo whole-disk lunar photographs I. Selenography
D.W.G. Arthur
1971, Icarus (14) 388-418
The Apollo whole-disk lunar photographs, with spacecraft lunar nadirs about 70° from the center of mean face, have considerable selenodetic potential provided that the requirements of resolution and precision can be met. Uncertainties in the internal camera geometry degrade the precision and make...

Hydrology of Pine Creek, Wisconsin
Warren A. Gebert
1971, Report
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Pine Creek, Price County, Wisconsin, in order to evaluate a proposed reservoir on Pine Creek. The streamflow characteristics estimated are the mean flows, low flows, and flood peaks. The study was done by the U.S. Geological Survey in...
Population biology of lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) of Lake Superior before 1950
Gary T. Sakagawa, Richard L. Pycha
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (28) 65-71
Scale samples collected in 1948 were used to estimate the instantaneous total mortality rate (0.70) and growth for lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) in Lake Superior before the population had been significantly reduced by the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). Indirect evidence indicates that the instantaneous natural mortality rate was probably 0.10–0.25....

Nickel in high-alumina basalts
C. E. Hedge
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 522-524
New analyses of high-alumina basalts reveal an average nickel content higher than previously indicated. Ni in high-alumina basalts correlates with magnesium in the same way as it does in other basalt types. There is therefore no reason, based on Ni contents, to hypothesize...

Determination of silver in soils, sediments, and rocks by organic-chelate extraction and atomic absorption spectrophotometry
T. T. Chao, J.W. Ball, H. M. Nakagawa
1971, Analytica Chimica Acta (54) 77-81
A useful method for the determination of silver in soil, sediment, and rock samples in geochemical exploration has been developed. The sample is digested with concentrated nitric acid, and the silver extracted with triisooctyl thiophosphate (TOTP) in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) after dilution of the...
Analytical sensitivities and energies of thermal neutron capture gamma rays II
F. E. Senftle, H.D. Moore, D.B. Leep, A. El-Kady, D. Duffey
1971, Nuclear Instruments and Methods (93) 425-459
A table of the analytical sensitivities of the principal lines in the thermal neutron capture gamma-ray spectrum from 0 to 3 MeV has been compiled for most of the elements. A tabulation of the full-energy, single-escape, and double-escape peaks has also been made...
C13 and O18 compositions in some fresh-water carbonates associated with ultramafic rocks and serpentinites: Western United States
J. R. O’Neil, I. Barnes
1971, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (35) 687-697
All carbonates associated with the ultramafic rocks and serpentinites of the western United States are shown by their stable isotope ratios to be of near-surface, low-temperature origin. These include vein materials that have been previously classified as hydrothermal. New laboratory and natural data...
Paleomagnetism of San Cristobal Island, Galapagos
A. Cox
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (11) 152-160
Isla San Cristobal, the most easterly of the Galapagos Islands, consists of two parts: a large volcano constitutes the southwest half of the island and an irregular apron of small cones and flows makes up the northeast half. As some of the...
A Pliocene flora and insect fauna from the Bering Strait region
D.M. Hopkins, J.V. Matthews, J. A. Wolfe, M.L. Silberman
1971, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (9) 211-231
A flood-plain forest has been preserved beneath a lava flow that invaded the Inmachuk River Valley in the northern part of the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, during the Pliocene Epoch. The fossil flora is of great biogeographic interest because of its position (Fig. 1)...
Giant American brook lampreys, Lampetra lamottei, in the upper Great Lakes
Patrick J. Manion, Harold A. Purvis
1971, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (28) 616-620
Five female American brook lampreys, Lampetra lamottei, collected in lakes Michigan and Huron averaged nearly twice as long and about six times as heavy as American brook lampreys of normal size. Three factors suggested that the giant lampreys may have fed parasitically after metamorphosis: morphological adaptations of the species for parasitic...

Water Resources Data for New Mexico; Part 1, Surface Water Records
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1971, Water Data Report NM-70-1
Surface-water records for the 1970 water year for New Mexico, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 1, 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States also are...
Some Pb and Sr isotopic measurements on eclogites from the Roberts Victor mine, South Africa
W.I. Manton, M. Tatsumoto
1971, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (10) 217-226
Five nodules of eclogite, one nodule of garnet peridotite and one sample of kimberlite from the Roberts Victor mine were analyzed for concentrations of U, Th, Pb, Rb and Sr and isotopic compositions of Pb and Sr. In the eclogites, U content...
Inland fisheries

1971, Book chapter, Our changing fisheries
Today's inland commercial fisheries are small independent operational units widely dispersed on lakes, impoundments, and streams throughout the vast central plains. The problems of the fisheries are diverse and unique to local conditions. Inland fisheries are particularly important to the Nation in times of international conflict because they...
Geysers
1971, Report
A geyser is a special type of hot spring that from time to time spurts water above ground. It differs from most hot springs in having periodic eruptions separated by intervals without flow of water. The temperature of the erupting water is generally nearly at boiling for pure water (212°F...

Periodic water- and air-temperature records for Utah streams, 1966-70
G.L. Whitaker
1971, Utah Basic-Data Release 22
Since 1967, all Geological Survey hydrographers have been instructed to observe and record the water and air temperatures at times when water-discharge measurements were being made at stream-gaging stations in Utah. The frequency of these observations generally varies from I to 5 weeks, depending upon the magnitude of the stream...
Effects of temperature on electrolyte balance and osmoregulation of the alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus) in fresh and sea water
Jon G. Stanley, Peter J. Colby
1971, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (100) 624-638
A study of the effects of temperature and salinity on ionoregulation in the alewife, Alosa pseudoharengus, revealed that concentrations of sodium, potassium, and calcium in plasma and muscle were similar in fish adapted to fresh water and those adapted to sea water. The non-stressed alewife is apparently an excellent...
Selective food preferences of walleyes of the 1959 year class in Lake Erie
John W. Parsons
1971, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (100) 474-485
Stomachs were examined from 1,473 walleyes (Stizostedion vitreum vitreum) of the 1959 year class collected in western Lake Erie from June 1959 to October 1960. In the same period, the relative abundance and lengths of potential forage species were determined from trawl catches. The walleye fed almost entirely on fish....
