The Amazon, measuring a mighty river
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1967, Report
The Amazon, the world's largest river, discharges enough water into the sea each day to provide fresh water to the City of New York for over 9 years. Its flow accounts for about 15 percent of all the fresh water discharged into the oceans by all the rivers of the...

1967, Report
This compilation is a listing of the serial publications cited in the following publications of the United States Geological Survey: Geophysical Abstracts, Abstracts of North American Geology, Bibliography of North American Geology, and Bibliography of Hydrology of the United States. A supplement of publications added since the main list was...
Fractionation of rare-earth elements in allanite and monazite as related to geology of the Mt. Wheeler mine area, Nevada
D. E. Lee, H. Bastron
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 339-356
Rare-earth contents of 20 allanites and 13 monazites, accessory minerals from a restricted outcrop area of intrusive granitic rocks, are reported. A quantity called sigma (Σ), which is the sum of the atomic percentages of La, Ce and Pr, is used...

Loss of halogens from crystallized and glassy silicic volcanic rocks
D. C. Noble, V. C. Smith, L. C. Peck
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 215-223
One hundred and sixty-four F and Cl analyses of silicic welded tuffs and lavas and glass separates are presented. Comparison of the F and Cl contents of crystallized rocks with those of nonhydrated glass and hydrated glassy rocks from the same rock units shows that most of the halogens originally...
Ground-water research in the U.S.A.
C. L. McGuinness
1967, Earth-Science Reviews (3) 181-202
Ground-water reservoirs and the overlying unsaturated zone-collectively, the "subsurface"-have an enormous capacity to supply water to wells and useful plants, to store water to meet future needs for the same purposes, and, under suitable precautions, to accept wastes. This capacity can be exploited on a maximum scale, however, only on...
Cohenite: Its occurrence and a proposed origin
R. Brett
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 143-159
Cohenite is found almost exclusively in meteorites containing from 6 to 8 wt.% Ni. On the basis of phase diagrams and kinetic data it is proposed that cohenite cannot form in meteorites having more than 8 wt.% Ni and that any cohenite which formed in meteorites having Ni content lower...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: new data from Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika
C. S. Grommé, R. L. Hay
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (2) 111-115
The lower lava flow of Bed I in Olduvai Gorge, Tanganyika, carries natural remanent magnetization (NRM) having normal polarity. Thermal demagnetization experiments demonstrate the stability of this NRM. Thus the Olduvai geomagnetic polarity event, which was originally named from the upper lava...
Complexometric determination of gallium with calcein blue as indicator
H.N. Elsheimer
1967, Talanta (14) 97-102
A metalfluorechromic indicator, Calcein Blue, has been used for the back-titration of milligram amounts of EDTA in presence of gallium complexes. The indicator was used in conjunction with an ultraviolet titration assembly equipped with a cadmium sulphide detector cell and a microammeter for enhanced end-point detection....
Borate mineral assemblages in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-B2O3-H2O
C. L. Christ, A.H. Truesdell, Richard C. Erd
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 313-337
The significant known hydrated borate mineral assemblages (principally of the western United States) in the system Na2O-CaO-MgO-B2O3-H2O are expressible in three ternary composition diagrams. Phase rule interpretation of the diagrams is consistent with observation, if the activity of H2O is generally considered to be determined by the geologic environment. The...
Molecular characteristics versus biological activity
Vernon C. Applegate, Manning A. Smith, Bennett R. Willeford
1967, Chemistry (40) 28-30
The molecular characteristics of mononitrophenols containing halogens not only play a key role in their biological activity but provide a novel example of selective toxicity among vertebrate animals. It has been reported that efforts to control the parasitic sea lamprey in the Great Lakes are directed at present to...
Theory of friction based on brittle fracture
J.D. Byerlee
1967, Journal of Applied Physics (38) 2928-2934
A theory of friction is presented that may be more applicable to geologic materials than the classic Bowden and Tabor theory. In the model, surfaces touch at the peaks of asperities and sliding occurs when the asperities fail by brittle fracture. The coefficient of friction, μ, was calculated from the strength of asperities of certain ideal shapes; for...
Geomagnetic polarity epochs: Nunivak Island, Alaska
A. Cox, G. B. Dalrymple
1967, Earth and Planetary Science Letters (3) 173-177
New paleomagnetic and potassium-argon dating measurements have been made of basalt flows from Nunivak Island, Alaska, with the following results. (1) The best estimate of the age of the Brunhes/Matuyama polarity epoch boundary is found to be 0.694 m.y. (2) The best...
Metastable superheated ice in liquid-water inclusions under high negative pressure
E. Roedder
1967, Science (155) 1413-1417
In some microscopic inclusions (consisting of aqueous liquid and vapor) in minerals, freezing eliminates the vapor phase because of greater volume occupied by...
Geological exploration in an East Coast submarine canyon from a research submersible
J. V. A. Trumbull, M.J. McCamis
1967, Science (158) 370-372
Large talus blocks litter the flat floor of Oceanographer Canyon at a depth of 1460 meters; they indicate down-axis mass transport of floor...
The Alaska earthquake of 1964
W. R. Hansen
1967, Nature (215) 348-351
Now that the dust has settled it is possible to assess the long term effects of the Alaskan earthquake on March 27, both on the activities of man and on the wild life of the State....

The fractionation of nickel between olivine and augite as a geothermometer
T.A. Hakli, T. L. Wright
1967, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (31) 877-884
The coexisting olivine, clinopyroxene and glass of five samples collected from the Makaopuhi lava lake in Hawaii, at temperatures ranging from 1050 to 1160°C were analysed for nickel with an electron probe microanalyser. The results strongly suggest that the distribution of nickel between these three phase pairs well obeys the...
Distribution of Lunar craters according to morphology from Ranger VIII and IX photographs
N.J. Trask
1967, Icarus (6) 270-276
A classification of the craters photographed by the Ranger VIII and IX missions into four categories according to relative sharpness shows that at diameters of 100 meters, the predominant craters have broad rims and low depth-diameter ratios and are partly covered with smaller craters which generally have sharper rims and...
Hydrology of the Valley-fill and carbonate-rock reservoirs, Pahrump Valley, Nevada-California
Glenn T. Malmberg
1967, Water Supply Paper 1832
This is the second appraisal of the water supply of Pahrump Valley, made 15 years after the first cooperative study. In the first report the average recharge was estimated to be 23,000 acre-feet per year, only 1,000 acre-feet more than the estimate made in this report. All this recharge was...
Observations on unmeasured rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold, Herbert E. Skibitzke
1967, Geografiska Annaler, Series A: Physical Geography (49) 247-255
An analysis of data on hydraulic parameters collected during a single boat trip down a river system is presented, plotted in form of the hydraulic geometry. A dimensionless rating curve is used to estimate bankfull and average discharge for basins of various sizes. When compared with gaging station data, estimates...
