1972, Bulletin 1359
The northern part of the North Cascades National Park in northern Washington is north of the Skagit River between Mount Shuksan on the West and Ross Lake on the east. The area occupies approximately 500 square miles of steep mountains and thickly forested valleys centered on the precipitous Picket Range. Old...

In June the National Aeronautics & Space Administration is to launch its first experimental satellite designed to view the Earth systematically with remote-sensing instruments that will provide new information about our resources and environment. The launching will culminate more than 8 years of planning and research by resource agencies of...

1972, Photogrammetric Engineering (38) 33-35
Early in 1972 the first Earth Resource Technology Satellite (ERTS-A) is scheduled for launch in near-polar orbit. It will carry three return-beam-vidicon (RBV) TB cameras and a multispectral scanner (MSS).In 1973 a post-Apollo manned space flight called SKYLAB will orbit the earth at an inclination of 50° to the Equator....
Ground-water data in the Corvallis-Albany area, central Willamette Valley, Oregon
F. J. Frank, N. A. Johnson
1972, Report
THE CORVALLIS-ALBANY AREA IS PART OF THE ALLUVIAL PLAIN THAT LIES BETWEEN THE CASCADE AND COAST RANGES IN THE CENTRAL WILLAMETTE VALLEY IN NORTHWESTERN OREGON. THE ALLUVIAL DEPOSITS (SAND AND GRAVEL) OF THE VALLEY PLAIN CONTAIN THE MOST PRODUCTIVE AQUIFERS IN THE AREA AND ARE CONSIDERED TO BE THE ONLY...
Falling-stream turbidimeter as a means of measuring sediment concentrations in streams
Harold P. Guy, Richard C. Olson
1972, Report
An optical (photocell) sensing device was used to measure the relative transparency characteristics of sediment suspensions with a view toward improving our ability to measure the temporal variations of suspended-sediment concentration moving in streams. The instrument used was a commercial "falling stream" turbidimeter that measured the relative transparency of a...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, leg 14
L.S. Waterman, F.L. Sayles, Frank T. Manheim
1972, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (14) 753-761
The interstitial waters from the sediments cored on Leg 14 exhibit characteristic compositional trends with three important exceptions. At most of the sites, the changes in Na and Cl are very small while enrichment of Ca and Sr and depletion of Mg and SO4 is typical of patterns observed in...
Interstitial Water studies on small core samples, deep sea drilling project, leg XII
Frank T. Manheim, F.L. Sayles, L.S. Waterman
1972, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (12) 1193-1199
With the exception of Site 114, all interstitial waters in Leg 12 showed marked increases in calcium, which can be attributed to diagenetic dissolution and recrystallization of calcium carbonate, especially coccolith and foraminiferal tests. Magnesium loss may be due to either or both replacement of iron in clays or the...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, leg XI
F.L. Sayles, Frank T. Manheim, L.S. Waterman
1972, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (11) 997-1007
The sediments cored at Sites 98, 99 and 100 are predominantly biogenic; those cored at Sites 101 through 106 are composed mainly of terrigenous material. As reported previously, most constituents in pore waters from the biogenic oozes exhibit minor changes in chemistry relative to sea water. In the terrigenous-hemipelagic sediments...

Pliocene uplift of the grand canyon region - time of drainage adjustment
E. D. McKee, E.H. McKee
1972, Geological Society of America Bulletin (83) 1923-1932
Tertiary gravel deposits in ancient stream channels along the southern margin of the Colorado Plateaus of northern Arizona show by composition and structure that these deposits came from sources to the south and southwest at a time when central Arizona stood higher than the present Grand Canyon region. Three cobbles...

Hawaiian-emperor chain and its relation to cenozoic circumpacific tectonics
E.D. Jackson, E. A. Silver, G. B. Dalrymple
1972, Geological Society of America Bulletin (83) 601-618
The Hawaiian Ridge and Emperor Seamounts appear to form a single chain of tholeiitic shield volcanoes that erupted sequentially on the sea floor of the central Pacific Ocean during Tertiary and Quaternary time. The chain cuts obliquely across the older Cretaceous structural patterns of that sea floor. While the pattern...
Structure of Sierra Madera, Texas, as a guide to central peaks of lunar craters
Keith A. Howard, Terry W. Offield, H. G. Wilshire
1972, GSA Bulletin (83) 2795-2808
Like hundreds of other lunar craters of probable impact origin, Copernicus contains central peaks presumed to expose rocks uplifted from beneath the crater floor. A possible analog of these peaks on Earth is the central uplift of the Sierra Madera cryptoexplosion structure, a probable impact scar (astrobleme) in stratified Permian...

1972, Science (175) 407-415
The samples and photographs returned from the Apollo 15 site show that Hadley Delta is largely underlain by breccias whose clasts are mainly fragments of coarse-grained feldspathic rocks and nonmare-type basalt. Conspicuous sets of lineaments, visible in surface and orbital photographs of Mount Hadley and Hadley Delta, may represent systematic...
Paleomagnetic correlations and Potassium-Argon dating of Middle Tertiary ash-flow sheets in the eastern Great Basin, Nevada and Utah
C. S. Grommé, E.H. McKee, M. Clark Blake Jr.
1972, GSA Bulletin (83) 1619-1638
Directions of natural remanent magnetization are used to identify and correlate individual cooling units in the middle Tertiary ash-flow province in central and eastern Nevada and western Utah. Potassium-argon dating indicates that the minimum time between eruptions of individual but genetically related ash-flow cooling units is on the order of...
Apollo 11 and 12 mare basalts and gabbros: Classification, compositional variations, and possible petrogenetic relations
Odette B. James, Thomas L. Wright
1972, GSA Bulletin (83) 2357-2382
On the basis of composition, it is possible to distinguish three major groups of Apollo 12 basaltic rocks: olivine-pigeonite basalts and gabbros, ilmenite-bearing basalts and gabbros, and feldspathic basalts. Two major groups of Apollo 11 basalts are also distinguishable: ophitic ilmenite basalts and intersertal ilmenite basalts. Compositional variations between samples...
Coyote reproduction. I. The duration of the spermatogenic cycle and epididymal sperm transport
James J. Kennelly
1972, Journal of Reproduction and Fertility (31) 163-170
Sexually mature, male coyotes were injected with [3H]thymidine to estimate (1) the duration of one cycle of the seminiferous epithelium, and (2) epididymal sperm transport time.The mean duration of spermatogenic stages 1 to 8 was estimated to be 3·4, 2·1, 0·5, 1·4, 1·8, 1·7, 1·5 and 1·3 days, respectively. The...
Eastward migration of blue-winged teal
Brian Sharp

Of 3,789 recoveries of blue-winged teal (Anas discors) banded prior to the hunting season in the prairie pothole region, 183 (4.8 percent) were recovered, due east in New England, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces during the subsequent hunting season. Of 19 recoveries looked at in detail, all were banded...
Migration patterns and wintering localities of American ospreys
Charles J. Henny, W.T. Van Velzen
1972, Journal of Wildlife Management (36) 1133-1141
North American ospreys (Pandion haliaetus carolinensis), banded primarily in the Middle Atlantic States and in New England, apparently migrate to their winter grounds in the West Indies and South America on a broad front. Ospreys do not return to the United States as 1-year-olds, but an estimated 28 to 55...
