College and university sources of remote sensing information
Timothy C. Bidwell
1975, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (41) 1273-1284
Research in remote-sensing applications has increased dramatically since the launch of the Earth Resources Technology Satellite-l (ERTS-l, renamed LANDSAT-I) and Skylab's Earth Resources Experiment Package (EREP). It is becoming increasingly more difficult to keep abreast of university research publications related to remote sensing. To assist researchers in locating those universities...
The interior of the earth
Eugene C. Robertson
1975, Report
The center of the Earth lies nearly 4,000 miles beneath our feet. At present the nature of the Earth's interior is known only from indirect evidence collected from studies of rocks and minerals, seismic waves, heat flow from the interior, and the Earth's gravity and magnetic field and through comparisons...

Movement of spilled oil as predicted by estuarine nontidal drift
T. J. Conomos
1975, Limnology and Oceanography (20) 159-173
Information on water movement obtained from bimonthly releases of surface and seabed drifters in the San Francisco Bay and adjacent Pacific Ocean is used to understand major processes controlling dispersal of oil after a spill of 3,200 m3 of Bunker C in the bay in January 1971. River-induced nontidal estuarine...
Paleotectonic investigations of the Pennsylvanian System in the United States, Part I: Introduction and regional analyses of the Pennsylvanian System

1975, Professional Paper 853-1
The Pennsylvanian is the fourth geologic system to be analyzed and synthesized by geologists of the U.S. Geological Survey in the form of a paleotectonic study covering the conterminous United States. Earlier investigations were of the Jurassic, Triassic, and Permian Systems. Results were published as Miscellaneous Geologic Investigation Maps I-175,...

Author index to published ERTS-1 reports
Timothy C. Bidwell, Cheryl A. Mitchell
1975, Report
This index has been compiled to assist the reader in locating and obtaining reports on the 334 scientific experiments conducted under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Earth Resources Technology Satellite-1 (ERTS-1) (renamed Landsat) program. Each NASA-designated experimenter was required to submit written reports on his investigation: these were...
Sediment yields of streams in the Umpqua River Basin, Oregon
D. A. Curtiss
1975, Report
This report summarizes sediment data collected at 11 sites in the Umpqua River basin from 1956 to 1973 and updates a report by C. A. Onions (1969) of estimated sediment yields in the basin from 1956-67. Onions' report points out that the suspended-sediment data, collected during the 1956-67 period, were...
Earthquakes; March-April 1975
W. J. Person
1975, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (7) 21-22
There were no major earthquakes (magnitude 7.0-7.9) in March or April; however, there were earthquake fatalities in Chile, Iran, and Venezuela and approximately 35 earthquake-related injuries were reported around the world. In the United States a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the Idaho-Utah border region. Damage was estimated at about a...
Ground-water quality in selected areas serviced by septic tanks, Dade County, Florida
William A. Pitt, Harold C. Mattraw Jr., Howard Klein
1975, Open-File Report 75-607
During 1971-74, the U.S. Geological Survey investigated the chemical, physical, bacteriological, and virological characteristics of the ground water in five selected areas serviced by septic tanks in Dade County, Florida. Periodic water samples were collected from multiple-depth groups of monitor wells ranging in depth from 10 to 60 ft at...
Water and the South Florida environment
Howard Klein, J.T. Armbruster, B. F. McPherson, H.J. Freiberger
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-24
Ecological problems are a major concern to Florida as well as to the Nation. National attention was focused on these problems in September 1968, when the Port Authority of Dade County began to con-struct a jetport for supersonic aircraft on a 39-square-mile tract 6 miles north of Everglades National Park...
Middle tertiary volcanic field in the southern Rocky Mountains
T. A. Steven
1975, Memoir of the Geological Society of America (144) 75-94
A widespread volcanic field covered most of the Southern Rocky Mountains in middle Tertiary time, 40 to 25 m.y. ago (approximately Oligocene time). This field covered an erosion surface that beveled structures formed during the Laramide orogeny in Late Cretaceous and early Tertiary time. The source vents from which the...

Rates of dissolution of aluminosilicates in seawater
A. Lerman, F.T. MacKenzie, O.P. Bricker
1975, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (25) 82-88
Dissolution of eight clay minerals, four zeolites, and quartz in seawater has been monitored for 8 1 2 years. For most of the minerals, dissolution can be described as a first-order reaction in which dissolved silica approaches from undersaturation steady concentration values with time. Characteristic reaction rate constants (k1) are...
An outbreak of a hemorrhagic disease in white-tailed deer in Kentucky
Robert D. Roughton
1975, Journal of Wildlife Diseases (11) 177-186
In 1971, an outbreak of a hemorrhagic disease occurred in captive and free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky. Clinical signs and gross pathological lesions were consistent with those of epizootic hemorrhagic disease and bluetongue, as were serological and histopathological findings for samples sent to other...

The vourinos ophiolite, Greece: Cyclic units of lineated cumulates overlying harzburgite tectonite
E. D. Jackson, H.W. Greene, E.M. Moores
1975, Geological Society of America Bulletin (86) 390-398
Re-examination of the Vourinos ophiolite shows it to be composed of metamorphic tectonites, cumulates, plagiogranites, dikes, and lava. The contact between the tectonites and the cumulates is exposed and sharp. Beneath the cumulate contact, the rocks have been highly deformed and complexly folded; above that contact, they simply have been...
Structure and petrology of a cumulus norite boulder sampled by Apollo 17 in Taurus-Littrow Valley, the Moon
E. D. Jackson, R. L. Sutton, H. G. Wilshire
1975, Geological Society of America Bulletin (86) 433-442
A glass-coated half-meter-size boulder was sampled by the Apollo 17 crew at station 8 near the foot of the Sculptured Hills. The rock proved to be a coarse-grained (0.5-cm) plagioclase-orthopyroxene cumulate, and the samples are the only true norites returned from the lunar surface. Photographs of the boulder showed it...
