Application of linear statistical models of earthquake magnitude versus fault length in estimating maximum expectable earthquakes
Robert K. Mark
1977, Geology (5) 464-466
Correlation or linear regression estimates of earthquake magnitude from data on historical magnitude and length of surface rupture should be based upon the correct regression. For example, the regression of magnitude on the logarithm of the length of surface rupture L can be used to estimate magnitude, but the regression of log L on...
Submarine faults and slides on the continental shelf, northern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson, Bruce F. Molnia
1977, Marine Geotechnology (2) 275-290
Submarine faults and slides or slumps of Quaternary age are potential environmental hazards on the outer continental shelf (OCS) of the northern Gulf of Alaska. Most faults that approach or reach the seafloor cut strata that may be equivalent in age to the upper Yakataga Formation (Pliocene‐Pleistocene). Along several faults,...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Tule Valley drainage basin, Juab and Millard Counties, Utah
J.C. Stephens
1977, Technical Publication 56
The Tule Valley drainage basin is an area of about 940 square miles in Juab and Millard Counties in west-central Utah. Precipitation in the basin averages about 8 inches annually. There is no surface outflow and all streams are ephemeral. Annual runoff averages about 0.09 inch. Because there is no...
Ground-water resources of Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
Joe S. Downey, C. A. Armstrong
1977, Bulletin 64-3
Griggs and Steele Counties, in east-central North Dakota, are underlain by bedrock of Ordovician, Jurassic, and Cretaceous ages. The Fall River and Lakota Formations of Cretaceous age form the Dakota aquifer. The fractured upper part of the Pierre Formation (shale), also of Cretaceous age, forms another bedrock aquifer. The Dakota...

Chemical composition of blood and bile of the shovelnose sturgeon
J. B. Hunn, L.M. Christenson
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 59-61
Samples of gallbladder bile and blood from shovelnose sturgeons (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) collected from the Chippewa River, Wisconsin, contained concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Cl-, inorganic phosphate, and total cholesterol closely comparable with those reported for similar samples from other species of freshwater sturgeons....
The EROS Data Center
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered by the Geological Survey, was established in 1966 to apply remote-sensing techniques to the inventory, monitoring, and management of natural resources. To meet its primary objective, the EROS Program includes research and training in the...
Survival of monosex grass carp in small ponds
A.E. Thomas, Ray R. Carter
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 184-184
Little information is available on the survival of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in ponds &mdash especially on the survival of fry to large fingerling stage, during the time when the most mortality would be expected. Development of monosex (all female) grass carp at the Fish Farming Experimental Station by the...
Geographic information system development in the CARETS project
William B. Mitchell, Robin G. Fegeas, Katherine A. Fitzpatrick, Cheryl A. Hallam
1977, Final Report Volume 4
Experience in the development of a geographic information system to support the CARETS project has confirmed the considerable advantages that may accrue by paralleling the system development with a rational and balanced system production effort which permits the integration of the education and training of users with interim deliverable products...

1977, Bulletin 31
The first comprehensive report of Florida's springs, which contains both a story of the springs and a collection of facts about them, was published thirty years ago (Ferguson and others, 1947). Since then, much additional data on springs have been gathered and the current report, Springs of Florida, makes a...
Conversion factors: SI metric and U.S. customary units
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
The policy of the U.S. Geological Survey is to foster use of the International System of Units (SI) which was defined by the 11th General Conference of Weights and Measures in 1960. This modernized metric system constitutes an international "language" by means of which communications throughout the world's scientific and...
Water and industry in the United States

Renal excretion in channel catfish following injection of quinaldine sulphate or 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol
J. L. Allen, J. B. Hunn
1977, Journal of Fish Biology (10) 473-479
Channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus Rafinesque, injected intraperitoneally with 2-methyl-quinoline sulphate (QdSO4) or 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) eliminate most of the dose of these compounds by extra-renal routes. Patterns of renal excretion of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and Cl- (pEq kg-1 h-1) appeared to be associated with the 'stress' of the urine collection...
Save water, save money

1977, Report
The United States uses huge quantities of water. In 1976, for example, it was estimated that for each person in the U.S., about 2,000 gallons of water were used daily in homes, offices, farms, and factories. This means that roughly 420 billion gallons of water were pumped, piped, or diverted...
