Robert A. Laurence
1971, Economic Geology (66) 696-700
All early students of the zinc and barite deposits of East Tennessee, noting the geographic coincidence of the principal mining area with complex late Paleozoic geologic structure, concluded that (1) the ore-bearing breccias were produced by Appalachian tectonic forces and that (2) mineralizing solutions gained...
A geochemical hypothesis for dolomitization by ground water
B.B. Hanshaw, W. Back, R.G. Deike
1971, Economic Geology (66) 710-724
Most modern disordered dolomite has been found in dynamic environments. However, solutions associated with modern dolomite formation do not have a common Mg/Ca ratio; the ratio ranges from about 3 to 100. Ground-water circulation may have a significant role in formation of regional dolomites; one of the primary requirements for...
Erosion and sedimentation
Carl F. Nordin Jr.

Water levels in carbonate rock terranes
H. E. LeGrand, V. T. Stringfield
1971, Groundwater (9) 4-10
Many subtle aspects of water levels in carbonate rocks need to be put in perspective even though hydrologists have recognized the fundamental value of characteristics of ground-water levels. The depth to the water table in carbonate rocks is controlled by local factors such as permeability and...

Hydrology of Pine Creek, Wisconsin
Warren A. Gebert
1971, Report
The purpose of this study was to determine the hydrologic characteristics of Pine Creek, Price County, Wisconsin, in order to evaluate a proposed reservoir on Pine Creek. The streamflow characteristics estimated are the mean flows, low flows, and flood peaks. The study was done by the U.S. Geological Survey in...
Hydrogeochemical effects of injecting wastes into a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida
Donald A. Goolsby
1971, Groundwater (9) 13-19
Acidic industrial wastes have been injected into deep wells in a limestone aquifer near Pensacola, Florida, since 1963. Prior geohydrologic studies in the area had indicated that the limestone aquifer contained nonpotable water and was overlain by an extensive clay confining layer.Two injection wells are presently being used to inject...
Seasonal distribution of zooplankton in the northern basin of Lake Chad
A.H. Robinson, Patricia K. Robinson
1971, Journal of Zoology (163) 25-61
More than 300 pairs of fine and coarse mesh plankton net samples were collected in the northern basin of Lake Chad during an 18-month period, June 1967 to November 1968. The seasonal distribution and abundance of the dominant species of Rotifera and Crustacea are given in addition to a general...

Edwin B. Eckel
1970, Professional Paper 546
One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964.

Never before were so many effects on earth processes and on...
