Petrology of unshocked crystalline rocks and shock effects in lunar rocks and minerals
E. C. T. Chao, O.B. James, J.A. Minkin, J.A. Boreman, E.D. Jackson, C.B. Raleigh
1970, Science (167) 644-647
On the basis of rock modes, textures, and mineralogy, unshocked crystalline rocks are classified into a dominant ilmenite-rich suite (subdivided into intersertal, ophitic, and hornfels types) and a subordinate feldspar-rich suite (subdivided into poikilitic and granular types). Weakly to moderately shocked rocks show high strain-rate deformation and solid-state transformation of...
Lunar rock compositions and some interpretations
A.E.J. Engel, C.G. Engel
1970, Science (167) 527-528
Samples of igneous "gabbro," "basalt," and lunar regolith have compositions fundamentally different from all meteorites and terrestrial basalts. The lunar rocks are anhydrous and without ferric iron. Amounts of titanium as high as 7 weight percent suggest either extreme fractionation of lunar rocks or an unexpected solar abundance of titanium....
Suspended matter in surface waters of the Atlantic continental margin from Cape Cod to the Florida Keys
F.T. Manheim, R.H. Meade, G. C. Bond
1970, Science (167) 371-376
Appreciable amounts of suspended matter (> 1.0 milligram per liter) in surface waters are restricted to within a few kilometers of the Atlantic coast. Particles that escape estuaries or are discharged by rivers into the shelf region tend to travel longshoreward rather than seaward. Suspended matter farther offshore, chiefly amorphous...

Estimating steady-state evaporation rates from bare soils under conditions of high water table
C.D. Ripple, J. Rubin, T. E. A. Van Hylckama
1970, Report
A procedure that combines meteorological and soil equations of water transfer makes it possible to estimate approximately the steady-state evaporation from bare soils under conditions of high water table. Field data required include soil-water retention curves, water table depth and a record of air temperature, air humidity and wind velocity...

Geology and ground-water resources of Linn County, Iowa
Robert E. Hansen
1970, Water Supply Bulletin 10
Linn County, in east-central Iowa, covers about 713 square miles and lies in the Western Young Drift section of the Central Lowlands physiographic province. The normal annual rainfall in the county is about 88 inches and the annual mean temperature is about 48°F. The population in 1960 was 136,899, of...

1970, Report
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Remote Sensor Application Studies program, infrared images and several kinds of photographs were obtained on reconnaissance flights over two areas in the Arbuckle Mountains near Mill Creek, Oklahoma. These data were used in a preliminary investigation (1) to determine the diagnostic reflection and...
