Flood frequency in Alaska
J.M. Childers
1970, Open-File Report 70-63
Records of peak discharge at 183 sites were used to study flood frequency in Alaska. The vast size of Alaska, its great ranges of physiography, and the lack of data for much of the State precluded a comprehensive analysis of all flood determinants. Peak stream discharges, where gaging-station records were...

Ostracodes were identified from 236 bottom samples taken in the region from Nova Scotia to Long Island. There is a distinctive difference between the assemblages in the northern and southern parts of this region. Many sublittoral cryophilic species are not present south of Cape Cod or the Northeast Channel, and...
