Water resources inventory of Connecticut Part 4: Southwestern coastal river basins
Robert B. Ryder, Michael A. Cervione Jr., Chester E. Thomas Jr., Mendall P. Thomas
1970, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 17
The 44O square miles of the southwestern coastal river basins (394 square miles of which are in Connecticut) yield about 183 billion gallons, or 23.9 inches of runoff during an average year. This amount of runoff is almost entirely derived from precipitation falling on the basins, and is eventually discharged...
The effect of anesthetization and urinary bladder catheterization on renal function of rainbow trout
J. B. Hunn, W. A. Willford
1970, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology (33) 805-812
1. Rainbow trout were anesthetized with MS-222 (Sandoz) or methylpentynol and catheterized. Urine was collected at selected intervals up to 48 hr. 2. Effects of MS-222 anesthesia on urine flow and composition were isolated from the stress of catheterization by re-anesthetizing the fish 18 to 20 hr post catheterization....
Base-flow study of Suamico River basin, Oconto, Brown, Shawano and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
The Suamico River is a gaining stream throughout its entire reach. No loss of water from the streams was noted between any measuring sites. The August 12 measurements were made during base-flow period when flow duration was about 50 to 55 percent (table 2). The August 28 measurements were made...
Base-flow study of Little Suamico River basin Oconto, Brown and Shawano counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
The Little Suamico River is a gaining stream throughout its entire reach. No loss of water from the streams was noted between any measuring sites. The August 13 measurements were made during a base-flow period when flow duration was about 50 to 55 percent (table 2). The August 27, 28...
Base-flow study of East River basin Brown and Calumet counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
Streams in the East River basin gain ground water throughout most of their reaches, however, ground-water pumping of the Green Bay - DePere area may reduce the water being gained by the streams from ground water. The August 13, 14 measurements were made during base-flow period when flow duration was...
Base-flow study of Duck Creek basin Brown and Outagamie counties, Wisconsin
Robert W. Devaul
1970, Report
Streams in the Duck Creek basin gain ground water throughout most of their reaches, however, ground-water pumping of the Green Bay - DePere area may reduce the water being gained by the streams from ground water. The August 11, 12 measurements were made during base-flow period when flow duration was...

Water resources data for New Mexico, water year 1969; Part 1. Surface water records
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1970, Water Data Report NM-69-1
Surface-water records for the 1969 water year for New Mexico, including records of streamflow or reservoir storage at gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites, are given in this report and their locations shown in figures 1, 2. Records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering states also are...

Biostratigraphy and dolomite porosity trends of the Lisburne Group
Augustus K. Armstrong, Bernard L. Mamet
1970, Book chapter, Proceedings of the geological seminar on the North Slope of Alaska, 1970
This preliminary study is based on measured and carefully collected sections of the Lisburne Group (fig. 1, sees. 1-29). The outcrops extend from Cape Lisburne (sec. 1) in the west to Egaksrak River (sec. 29) in northeastern Alaska and are used as the basic building blocks for the carbonate facies...

Tholeiitic basalt magmatism of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes of Hawaii
K. J. Murata
1970, Die Naturwissenschaften (57) 108-113
The primitive magmas of Kilauca and Mauna Loa are generated by partial melting of mantle peridotite at depths of −60 km or more. Results of high-pressure melting experiments indicate that the primitive melt must contain at least 20% MgO in order to have olivine as a...
Water content of basalt erupted on the ocean floor
J.G. Moore
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (28) 272-279
Deep sea pillow basalts dredged from the ocean floor show that vesicularity changes with composition as well as with depth. Alkalic basalts are more vesicular than tholeiitic basalts erupted at the same depth. The vesicularity data, when related to experimentally determined solubility of water in basalt, indicate that K-poor oceanic...
Relationship between subsidence and volcanic load, Hawaii
J.G. Moore
1970, Bulletin Volcanologique (34) 562-576
A computer analysis of tide-gage records in the northeast Pacific indicates that the active volcanic islands of eastern Hawaii are subsiding at a rate considerably faster than the eustatic rise of sea level. The rate of absolute subsidence increases progressively toward the center of current activity on the Island of...
Lead and strontium isotopes in rocks of the Absaroka volcanic field, Wyoming
Z. E. Peterman, B. R. Doe, H.J. Prostka
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (27) 121-130
The Absaroka volcanic field is comprised of predominant andesitic volcaniclastic rocks and less abundant potassium-rich mafic lavas (shoshonites and absarokites). Strontium and lead isotopic variations preclude a simple derivation from an isotopically uniform source: Sr87/Sr86, 0.7042 to 0.7090; Pb206/Pb204, 16.31 to 17.30; Pb208/Pb204, 36.82 to 37.64....
The strontium isotopic composition of basalts from the Gordo and Juan de Fuca Rises, northeastern Pacific Ocean
C. E. Hedge, Z. E. Peterman
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (27) 114-120
The strontium isotopic compositions have been determined for twelve tholeiitic basalts dredged from the Gordo and Juan de Fuca Rises. Sr87/Sr86 ratios range from 0.7012 to 0.7031 and average 0.7026. These data, combined with other data from the East Pacific Rise indicate that tholeiite basalts being erupted...
Distribution of rubidium between sodic sanidine and natural silicic liquid
D. C. Noble, C. E. Hedge
1970, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (29) 234-241
Phenocrysts of sodic sanidine from twelve upper Cenozoic units of silicic ash-flow tuff and lava from the Western United States contain from 0.25 to 0.45 the Rb present in the associated groundmass materials. The ratios of potassium to rubidium in the sanidines are, on the average,...
