The Mississippi Valley earthquakes of 1811 and 1812
O.W. Nuttli
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 8-13
Shortly after 2 o'clock on the morning of December 16, 1811, the Mississippi River valley was convulsed by an earthquake so severe that it awakened people in cities as distant as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk, Virginia. This shock inaugurated what must have been the most frightening sequence of earthquakes ever...
Seismic risk maps

Robert Mallis, editor(s)
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 10-15
What is the possibility that an earthquake will occur near you? Have you ever wondered what the chances were that an earthquake could affect you at home or at work? Perhaps you are planning to move to a part of the country subject to frequent earthquakes. How do you determine...
Ice on waterfowl markers
R. J. Greenwood, W.C. Bair
1974, Wildlife Society Bulletin (2) 130-134
Wild and captive giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) and captive mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) accumulated ice on neck collars and/or nasal saddles during winter storm periods in 1971 and 1972. Weather conditions associated with icing were documented, and characteristics of icing are discussed. Severe marker icing occurred during subfreezing weather...
Immature insects (Plecoptera, Trichoptera, and Ephemeroptera) collected from deep water in western Lake Superior
James H. Selgeby
1974, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (31) 109-111
Five species of aquatic insects - two plecopterans, two trichopterans, and one ephemeropteran - usually found in streams or ponds were collected in water 32-100 m deep in western Lake Superior. All appear to be new records for the lake and all were collected from far greater depths than previously...
Preliminary map showing availability of ground water from major glacial-drift aquifers in Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
Joe S. Downey
1974, Open-File Report 74-1023
This investigation is part of a statewide program to determine the location, extent, and hydrologic characteristics of the ground-water reservoirs (aquifers).The investigation was made cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey, North Dakota State Water Commission, North Dakota Geological Survey, and Griggs and Steele Counties Water Management Districts.This preliminary map is...
Nitrogen and phosphorus balance of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella, fed elodea, Egeria denea
J.G. Stanley
1974, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (103) 587-592
The herbivorous grass carp fed winter elodea exhibited a negative nitrogen balance in metabolism, suggesting that food having a higher protein content would be required for normal growth. About a third of the phosphorus contained in food was retained; hence, a combination of aquatic plants and grass carp might afford...
The sea lamprey and its control
R. Saalfeld, J.H. Howell

Mineral resources of Du Noir Addition, Washakie Wilderness area, Fremont County, Wyoming
Harold J. Prostka, J.C. Antweiler, Carl L. Bieniewski, M. D. Kleinkopf
1974, Open-File Report 74-133
The Du Noir Addition to the Washakie Wilderness area consists of 34,200 acres (13,840 hectares) of scenic mountainous terrain that adjoins the Teton Wilderness and Washakie Wilderness areas. The area was studied in 1973 by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Bureau of Mines to evaluate its mineral, fuel, and...
Map showing areas serviced by public water-supply agencies in 1973 greater Pittsburgh region, southwestern Pennsylvania
Robert M. Beall
1974, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 607
Urban water planning, development, and management are many sectored, costly efforts, subject to a multitude of controls and demands including those imposed by nature. One primary concern in development is for providing a dependable and safe water supply. In spite of a bountiful natural availability, the process of satisfying consumer...
The regolith at the Apollo 15 site and its stratigraphic implications
M. H. Carr, C.E. Meyer
1974, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (38) 1183-1197
Regolith samples from the Apollo 15 landing site are described in terms of two major fractions, a homogeneous glass fraction and a non-homogeneous glass fraction. The proportions of different components in the homogeneous glass fraction were determined directly by chemical analyses of individual...
Naturally occurring vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) Whisker growth of germanium sulfide
R. B. Finkelman, R.R. Larson, E.J. Dwornik
1974, Journal of Crystal Growth (22) 159-160
The first naturally occurring terrestrial example of vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth has been observed in condensates from gases released by burning coal in culm banks. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive analysis indicate that the crystals consist of elongated rods (≈ 100...
