Taunton River basin
John R. Williams, Richard E. Willey
1970, Massachusetts Hydrologic - Data Report 12
The Taunton River, emptying into an arm of Narragansett Bay at Fall River, drains 528 square miles of interior southeastern Massachusetts. The Taunton River basin is separated from the basins of short streams draining to the coast by low divides on the east, south, and southwest. On the west and...

Sagan, J. Pollack, J. Lederberg, E. Levinthal, W. Hartmann, T. McCord, B. Smith, M. Davies, G. De Vaucouleurs, C. Leovy
1970, Icarus (12) 10-45
The Television Experiment objectives are to provide imaging data which will complement previously gathered data and extend our knowledge of Mars. The two types of investigations will be fixed-feature (for mapping) and variable-feature (for surface and atmospheric changes). Two cameras with a factor-of-ten difference in resolution will be used on...
Deuterium content of snow cores from Sierra Nevada area
I. Friedman, G.I. Smith
1970, Science (169) 467-470
The relative deuterium content was measured on 37 snow cores collected in April 1969 in the Sierra Nevada. The deuterium content varies inversely with altitude of collection (approximately 40 per mil per 1000 meters) but is unrelated to latitude. The altitude relationship is particularly well defined west of the crest...
Concentrations of trace elements in Great Lakes fishes
Henry F. Lucas Jr., David N. Edgington, Peter J. Colby
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 677-684
The concentration of 15 trace elements was determined by activation analysis of samples of whole fish and fish livers from three of the Great Lakes: Michigan, Superior, and Erie. The average concentrations of 7 elements in 19 whole fish from 3 species were as follows: uranium, 3ppb (parts per billion);...
The determination of low levels of cobalt-60 in environmental waters by liquid scintillation counting
H.C. Claassen
1970, Analytica Chimica Acta (52) 229-235
A method for determination of cobalt-60 in waters at levels greater than 0.5 pCi per sample is presented. A modification of the method may be used to analyze fluvial sediments and soils. After the cobalt has been separated, first as the hydroxide and then as...

New homes for prairie ducks
Harold A. Doty
1970, Report
This pamphlet describes how to make, install and care for inexpensive duck nesting baskets. Ducks have been attracted to these structures in the prairies of eastern North and South Dakota, western Minnesota, and northern Iowa. Nesting structures can help increase the number of local nesting ducks, especially mallards....
Temperature tolerance of bloater (Coregonus hoyi)
Thomas A. Edsall, Donald V. Rottiers, Edward H. Brown
1970, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (27) 2047-2052
Juvenile and young adult bloaters (Coregonus hoyi) were tested for tolerance to high temperatures. The ultimate upper lethal temperature of juvenile bloaters (26.75 C) appeared to be slightly higher than that of young adult bloaters, but was similar to that of juvenile ciscoes,Coregonus artedii (26.0 C), the only other North American coregonine for...
Temperature tolerance of young-of-the-year cisco, Coregonus artedii
Thomas A. Edsall, Peter J. Colby
1970, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (99) 526-531
Young-of-the-year ciscoes (Coregonus artedii) acclimated to 2, 5, 10, 20 and 25 C and tested for tolerance to high and low temperatures provide the first detailed description of the thermal tolerance of coregonids in North America. The upper ultimate lethal temperature of the young ciscoes was 26 C (6 C...

Correction of bias in belt transect studies of immotile objects
David R. Anderson, R.S. Pospahala
1970, Journal of Wildlife Management (34) 141-146
Unless a correction is made, population estimates derived from a sample of belt transects will be biased if a fraction of, the individuals on the sample transects are not counted. An approach, useful for correcting this bias when sampling immotile populations using transects of a fixed width, is presented....
A new technique for pumping hydrogen gas
I. Friedman, K. Hardcastle
1970, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (34) 125-126
A system for pumping hydrogen gas without isotopic fractionation has been developed. The pump contains uranium metal, which when heated to about 80°C reacts with hydrogen to form UH3. The UH3 is heated to above 500°C to decompose the hydride and regenerate the hydrogen....

Latitudinal gradients in tertiary molluscan faunas of the Pacific coast
W.O. Addicott
1970, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (8) 287-312
Tertiary molluscan faunas of the middle latitudes of the marginal eastern North Pacific are characterized by warm-water taxa whose descendants now live in more southerly latitudes. A series of profiles in which cumulative percentages of warm-water faunal elements are plotted against latitude show progressive northward decreases in the percentage of...
Age of the moon: An isotopic study of uranium-thorium-lead systematics of lunar samples
M. Tatsumoto, J.N. Rosholt
1970, Science (167) 461-463
Concentrations of U, Th, and Pb in Apollo 11 samples studied are low (U. 0.16 to 0.87; Th, 0.53 to 3.4; Pb, 0.29 to 1.7, in ppm) but the extremely radiogenic lead in samples allows radiometric dating. The fine dust and the breccia have a concordant age of 4.66 billion...

Metamorphic waters from the pacific tectonic belt of the west coast of the United States
I. Barnes
1970, Science (168) 973-975
Waters unusually rich in ammonia, boron, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and hydrocarbons are found in more than 100 localities along the Pacific coast of the United States. The waters are believed to be products of low-grade metamorphism of marine sediments. The marine sedimentary rocks would have to be tectonically emplaced...
Tektite 1, man-in-the-sea project: Marine Science Program
H.E. Clifton, C.V.W. Mahnken, J. C. Van Derwalker, R.A. Waller
1970, Science (168) 659-663
The Tektite experiment was designed to provide data for a number of behavioral, biomedical, and engineering studies in addition to the marine sciences program. Conditions for some of these studies were not altogether compatible with the program for the marine sciences. For example, isolation imposed by human behavioral studies precluded...
Paleomagnetic secular variation study of lavas from the Massif central, France
Richard R. Doell
1970, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (8) 352-362
The angular standard deviation of virtual geomagnetic poles determined from a paleomagnetic study of 31 Brunhes-age lava flows from France has been obtained. The value, referred to the axial dipole (geographic axis), is 15.2° with 95% confidence limits of 18.4° and 12.9°....
Petrology of unshocked crystalline rocks and shock effects in lunar rocks and minerals
E. C. T. Chao, O.B. James, J.A. Minkin, J.A. Boreman, E.D. Jackson, C.B. Raleigh
1970, Science (167) 644-647
On the basis of rock modes, textures, and mineralogy, unshocked crystalline rocks are classified into a dominant ilmenite-rich suite (subdivided into intersertal, ophitic, and hornfels types) and a subordinate feldspar-rich suite (subdivided into poikilitic and granular types). Weakly to moderately shocked rocks show high strain-rate deformation and solid-state transformation of...
Lunar rock compositions and some interpretations
A.E.J. Engel, C.G. Engel
1970, Science (167) 527-528
Samples of igneous "gabbro," "basalt," and lunar regolith have compositions fundamentally different from all meteorites and terrestrial basalts. The lunar rocks are anhydrous and without ferric iron. Amounts of titanium as high as 7 weight percent suggest either extreme fractionation of lunar rocks or an unexpected solar abundance of titanium....
