Remote sensing and photogrammetric studies: Part C: comparison between photogrammetric and bistatic-radar slope-frequency distributions
H. J. Moore, G.L. Tyler
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Stereoscopic photographs taken by the metric and panoramic cameras can be used to obtain information on the roughness and slope-frequency distributions of lunar surfaces (see appendix to this part). Bistatic radar on board Apollo 14, 15, and 16 spacecraft may also be used to obtain information on lunar surface roughness...
Stratigraphic studies: Part A: basalt stratigraphy of southern Mare Serenitatis
K. A. Howard, M. H. Carr, W.R. Muehlberger
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Mare Serenitatis has long been noted for its conspicuous dark border (fig. 29-1). The Apollo 17 metric photographs traverse this border in southern Mare Serenitatis and show clearly superposition relationships among the mare and mare-related stratigraphic units. These photographs, together with full-Moon photographs, albedo measurements, and color information (table...
Stratigraphic studies: Part B: geologic setting of the dark mantling material in the Taurus-Littrow region of the Moon
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
A dark-colored surficial deposit covers lowlands and highlands along the southeastern margin of the Serenitatis basin. Sampling of this material was a major exploration objective of the Apollo 17 mission. Since completion of the mission, the dark mantle has been the subject of considerable controversy, inasmuch as no obvious stratified...
Stratigraphic studies: Part C: relative ages of some near-side mare units based on Apollo 17 metric photographs
Joseph M. Boyce, Arthur L. Dial Jr.
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The lunar maria formed at different times and in multiple stages of extrusion. An understanding of their evolution is essential in placing the Apollo samples in a regional context and in interpreting the regional geology of a vast part of the lunar surface....
Stratigraphic studies: Part D: geologic map of the northern Crisium region
Don E. Wilhelms
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
Apollo 17 metric photographs (fig. 29-26) provide the best available coverage for geologic interpretation of northern Mare Crisium and the northern Crisium basin. The area was covered previously by low-resolution telescopic and Lunar Orbiter IV photographs and by oblique, high-illumination, or low-resolution photographs from earlier Apollo missions. One region in...
Preliminary geologic investigation of the Apollo 17 landing site
W.R. Muehlberger, R. M. Batson, E.A. Cernan, V. L. Freeman, M. H. Hait, H. E. Holt, K. A. Howard, E.D. Jackson, K.B. Larson, V. S. Reed, J. J. Rennilson, H.H. Schmitt, D. H. Scott, R. L. Sutton, D. Stuart-Alexander, G.A. Swann, N.J. Trask, G. E. Ulrich, H. G. Wilshire, E.W. Wolfe
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report
The Apollo 17 lunar module (LM) landed on the flat floor of a deep valley that embays the mountainous highlands at the eastern rim of the Serenitatis basin. Serenitatis, the site of a pronounced mascon, is one of the major multi-ringed basins on the near side of the Moon. The...
Apollo lunar sounder experiment
R.J. Phillips, G.F. Adams, W.E. Brown Jr., R. E. Eggleton, P. Jackson, R. Jordan, W.I. Linlor, W.J. Peeples, L.J. Porcello, J. Ryu, G. Schaber, W.R. Sill, T.W. Thompson, S.H. Ward, J.S. Zelenka
1973, Book chapter, Apollo 17 preliminary science report (NASA SP-330)
The scientific objectives of the Apollo lunar sounder experiment (ALSE) are (1) mapping of subsurface electrical conductivity structure to infer geological structure, (2) surface profiling to determine lunar topographic variations, (3) surface imaging, and (4) measuring galactic electromagnetic radiation in the lunar environment. The ALSE was a three-frequency, wide-band, coherent...
Hydrogeologic data for the Quinnipiac River basin, Connecticut
David L. Mazzaferro
1973, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 26
This report contains geologic, ground-water, and quality-of-water data collected for the ground-water part of a water-resources inventory of the Quinnipiac River basin, Connecticut. The study was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in fiscal cooperation with the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Collection sites for data used in the study...

Versatile combustion-amalgamation technique for the photometric determination of mercury in fish and environmental samples
Wayne A. Willford, Robert J. Hesselberg, Harold L. Bergman
1973, Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (56) 1008-1014
Total mercury in a variety of substances is determined rapidly and precisely by direct sample combustion, collection of released mercury by amalgamation, and photometric measurement of mercury volatilized from the heated amalgam. Up to 0.2 g fish tissue is heated in a stream of O2 (1.2 L/min) for 3.5 min in...
Recurrence of seismic migrations along the central California segment of the San Andreas fault system
M.D. Wood, S.S. Allen

VERIFICATIONS of tectonic concepts1 concerning seafloor spreading are emerging in a manner that has direct bearing on earthquake prediction. Although the gross pattern of worldwide seismicity contributed to the formulation of the plate tectonic hypothesis, it is the space-time characteristics of this seismicity that may contribute more...

E. Roedder, P.W. Weiblen
1973, Nature (244) 210-212
THE “orange soil” from Shorty Crater differs greatly from ordinary lunar soils in that it consists of ∼99% 10–300 µm smooth shiny spherules and broken fragments of spherules of transparent orange glass, about 20% of which contain partly crystallized to opaque material. The remaining 1 %...
Population dynamics of pond zooplankton, I. Diaptomus pallidus Herrick

1973, Hydrobiologia (42) 295-333
The simultaneous and lag relationships between 27 environmental variables and seven population components of a perennial calanoid copepod were examined by simple and partial correlations and stepwise regression. The analyses consistently explained more than 70% of the variation of a population component. The multiple correlation coefficient (R) usually was highest...
