Classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes in the north central United States
Thomas C. Winter
1977, Water Resources Research (13) 753-767
The hydrologic settings of 150 lakes in the north central United States were investigated by principal component analysis as a first attempt to develop a general classification of the hydrologic settings of lakes. Precipitation-evaporation balance and the water quality variables have high loadings on the first principal component. Highest loadings...
Gravity measurements on summer sea ice in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas, 1976
Gary Boucher
1977, Open-File Report 77-705
During September, 1976, a series of gravity measurements was made in the western Beaufort Sea and the northern Chukchi Sea on ice floes and on a grounded ice island. The data were taken to evaluate the technique of measuring gravity on small ice floes in summer and to supplement and...
Earthquakes, December 1976
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 28-29
The month of December was seismically quiet compared to the previous months of the year. There were no major earthquakes during the month and only one that caused fatalities. On December 8, the Republic of South Africa was struck by an earthquake that caused deaths and damage. The United States...
Earthquakes; May-June 1977
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 26-27
The months of May and June were somewhat quiet seismically speaking. There was only on significant earthquake, a magnitude 7.2 on June 22 in teh Tonga Islands. In teh United States, the two largest earthquakes occurred in California and on Hawaii. ...

Landslides
T. H. Nilsen
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 27-33
Landslides are frequent in areas where there is high seismicity and steep slopes. Landslides associated with earthquakes may cause as much damage as the initial ground shaking. They may also occur long after the earthquake. Some of the major earthquakes that have occurred during the past 15 years demonstrate the hazards...
Earthquakes; January-February 1977
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 46-47
There were no major earthquakes (7.0-7.9) during the first 2 months of the year, and no fatalities were reported. Three strong earthquakes occurred- New Guinea, Tadzhik S.S.R, and the Aleutian Islands. The Tadzhik earthquake on January 31 caused considerable damage and possible injuries. The United States experienced a number of...
Earthquakes: August-September 1976
W. J. Person
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 32-33
Destructive earthquakes continued to strike in many parts of the world during this period. The sparsely populated area of the New Hebrides Islands in the southwest Pacific was struck by a major earthquake (one with a magnitude between 7.0 and 7.9). A great earthquake (magnitude 8.0 or above) struck just...
Evaluating the intensity of U.S. earthquakes
R. Simon, C. Stover
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 24-29
The intensity scale based on the Modified Mercalli Scale of 1931 (MM scale) measures the effects of seismic shaking. Intensity estimations are often the only representation of the size of an earthquake when small shocks occur in areas far removed from seismograph stations that can record them instrumentally. The impossibility...
Earthquakes in the United States
C. Stover
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 32-33
To supplement data in the report Preliminary Determination of Epicenters (PDE), the National earthquake Information Service (NEIS) also publishes a quarterly circular, Earthquakes in the United States. This provides information on the felt area of U.S earthquakes and their intensity. The main purpose is to describe the larger effects of these earthquakes so that...
Earthquake research in China
B. Raleigh
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 18-21
On the evening of February 4, 1975, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake occurred near Haicheng in Liaoning Privince in eastern China. Almost 90 percent of the structures in Haicheng, a city of 90,000 people, were destroyed or seriously damaged. Given the time of day, the subfreezing temperatures, and the population density...
Spectral characteristics of geomagnetic field variations at low and equatorial latitudes
W.H. Campbell
1977, Journal of Atmospheric and Terrestrial Physics (39) 1217-1227
Geomagnetic field spectra from eight standard observations at geomagnetic latitudes below 30?? were studied to determine the field characteristics unique to the equatorial region. Emphasis was placed upon those variations having periods between 5 min and 4 hr for a selection of magnetically quiet, average, and active days in 1965....
Relative yield of two transferrin phenotypes in coho salmon
John D. McIntyre, A. Kenneth Johnson
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 175-177
Experimental groups of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) of transferring types AA and AC were compared to determine relative growth and survival before release, yields from the fishery, and returns of fish to the hatchery as 2- and 3-yr-olds. In the hatchery, growth was faster and survival higher in the AA...
Immunization of pacific salmon: comparison of intraperitoneal injection and hyperosmotic infiltration of Vibrio anguillarum and Aeromonas salmonicida bacterins
Ross Antipa, Donald F. Amend
1977, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (34) 203-208
Two methods of immunizing fish, intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection and hyperosmotic infiltration, were compared for control of vibriosis and furunculosis in pen-reared coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha). Both methods provided significant protection against vibriosis under field test conditions. In coho salmon, hyperosmotic infiltration provided the best protection and...
Modeling chloride movement in the alluvial aquifer at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado
Leonard F. Konikow
1977, Water Supply Paper 2044
A solute-transport model that can be used to predict the movement of dissolved chemicals in flowing ground water was applied to a problem of ground-water contamination at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, near Denver, Colo. The model couples a finite-difference solution to the ground-water flow equation with the method-of-characteristics solution to...
Earthquake history of Texas
C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 30-32
Seventeen earthquakes, intensity V or greater, have centered in Texas since 1882, when the first shock was reported. The strongest earthquake, a maximum intensity VIII, was in western Texas in 1931 and was felt over 1 165 000 km 2. Three shocks in the Panhandle region in 1925, 1936, and 1943...

Earthquake history of Vermont
C. A. von Hake
1977, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (9) 27-28
Seven earthquakes of intensity V or greater on the Modified Mercalli Scale (MM) are known to have originated within Vermont. Many additional shocks centered in other New England States and Canada have been strongly felt in Vermont. ...
