Slide-induced waves, seiching and ground fracturing caused by the earthquake of March 27, 1964 at Kenai Lake, Alaska
David S. McCulloch
1966, Professional Paper 543-A
The March 27, 1964, earthquake dislodged slides from nine deltas in Kenai Lake, south-central Alaska. Sliding removed protruding parts of deltas-often the youngest parts-and steepened delta fronts, increasing the chances of further sliding. Fathograms show that debris from large slides spread widely over the lake floor, some reaching the toe...
Magnitude and frequency of floods in the United States: Part 9. Colorado River Basin
James L. Patterson, William P. Somers
1966, Water Supply Paper 1683
This report outlines methods by which the magnitude and frequency of expected floods of any recurrence interval from 1.1 to 50 years can be determined at most points in the Colorado River basin.Composite frequency curves were drawn showing the relation of the mean annual flood to floods having recurrence intervals...

Evaluation of p,p'-DDT as a reference toxicant in bioassays
Leif L. Marking
1966, Investigations in Fish Control 10
p,p'-DDT was tested as a reference standard toxicant against 19 species of freshwater fish, including 39 lots from 10 sources. In particular, the rapidity, nonselectivity, and consistency of its toxicity to fish were evaluated in 96-hour static bioassays. The chemical was rapidly and consistently toxic to lake trout, carp, green...

Effects of agricultural conservation practices on the hydrology of Corey Creek basin, Pennsylvania, 1954-60
Benjamin L. Jones
1966, Water Supply Paper 1532-C
Analyses of data collected from two small basins in northern Pennsylvania during the period May 1954 to September 1960 indicated that changes in land use and land treatment have affected suspended- sediment discharge from the basins. Extensive land use and land-treatment changes have taken place in the 12.2-square-mile Corey Creek...
Salt-water encroachment in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, New York

The High Plains of Colorado includes all or part of 11 counties and has an area of about 9,500 square miles. The land surface slopes eastward and in most areas is gently rolling owing to erosion by ephemeral streams. The Ogallala Formation, of Pliocene age, is the principal aquifer. In...
