Composition and evolution of the continental crust as suggested by seismic observations
L. C. Pakiser, R. Robinson
1966, Tectonophysics (3) 547-557
The average composition of the continental crust is more mafic than hitherto supposed. The conterminous United States can be divided, on the basis of seismic structure, into ten regions. The seven western and the three eastern regions can be termed western and eastern...

Crystallization of tholeiitic basalt in Alae Lava Lake, Hawaii
D. L. Peck, T. L. Wright, J.G. Moore
1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 629-655
The eruption of Kilauea Volcano August 21–23, 1963, left 600,000 cubic meters of basaltic lava in a lava lake as much as 15 meters deep in Alae pit crater. Field studies of the lake began August 27 and include repeated core drilling, measurements of temperature in the crust and melt,...
Some Debye temperatures from single-crystal elastic constant data
R. A. Robie, J.L. Edwards
1966, Journal of Applied Physics (37) 2659-2663
The mean velocity of sound has been calculated for 14 crystalline solids by using the best recent values of their single‐crystal elastic stiffness constants. These mean sound velocities have been used to obtain the elastic Debye temperatures θDe for these materials. Models of the three wave velocity surfaces for calcite are illustrated....

1966, Bulletin Volcanologique (29) 763-793
The 1963–65 eruption of Irazú, like all others of this volcano during the historic period, produced only ash and other fragmental ejecta without lava. The initial outbreak on March 13, 1963 started with a series of great explosions that hurled out much ash, blocks, and bombs, but the activity...

1966, Professional Paper 543
This is the third in a series of six reports that the U.S. Geological Survey published on the results of a comprehensive geologic study that began, as a reconnaissance survey, within 24 hours after the March 27, 1964, Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake and extended, as detailed investigations, through several...
Fluctuations of ground-water levels in Puerto Rico resulting from earthquakes (1959-1961)
Irving G. Grossman
1966, Conference Paper, Transactions of the Third Caribbean Geological Conference
During the Chilean earthquake of May 22, 1960, intensity 8.5, 4 of 8 wells in Puerto Rico equipped with automatic recorders, recorded seismic fluctuations. The maximum double amplitude, 0.05 ft, was recorded at a well in bedrock near Coamo. Double amplitudes in 3 other wells ranged from slightly less than .01...

Ground water in Jordan Valley, Salt Lake County, Utah
Ted Arnow
1965, Utah State Engineer Water Circular 1
This article was compiled largely from a technical report on ground-water conditions in the Jordan Valley which was prepared as part of a cooperative program between the Utah State Engineer and the U.S. Geological Survey to study the water resources of Utah. If you would like to read the more...
Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1965

1965, Cooperative Investigations Report 3
This report is the second in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. It includes individual discussions of the most important areas of ground-water withdrawal in the State for the claendar year of 1964. Water-level fluctuations, however, are described for the period spring 1964 through spring...
Water-resources appraisal of the Snake Valley area, Utah and Nevada
James W. Hood, F. Eugene Rush
1965, Technical Publication 14
The Snake Valley area is a north-trending narrow depression that extends about 135 miles along the central Nevada-Utah border. The area covers about 3,480 square miles. Within the area, the principal ground-water reservoir is in the unconsolidated deposits of Quaternary and Tertiary age that underlie about 1.2 million acres. Carbonate...

Joseph S. Gates
1965, Technical Publication 12
This study of the geohydrology of Tooele Valley, Utah, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah State Engineer during the period 1958-63. The purpose of the study was to update an earlier investigation of ground water in Tooele Valley made by the Geological Survey during...

1965, Technical Publication 11
Thomas (Hunt and others, 1953) compiled and evaluated a large amount of ground- and surface-water data for northern Utah Valley for the years prior to 1948. This report, which was prepared as part of the Statewide cooperative program between the Utah State Engineer and the U.S. Geological Survey, is designed...
Oral immunization of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) against an etiologic agent of "redmouth disease"
1965, Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (22) 713-719
Rainbow trout were fed a pelleted diet containing killed cells of the etiologic agent of a bacterial disease, redmouth. These fish in addition to appropriate controls were subsequently challenged with virulent homologous organisms. Ninety per cent of the redmouth immunized fish survived the basic challenge using virulent organisms in contrast...
Virus diseases of the salmonidae in the western United States. I. Etiology and epizootiology
1965, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences (126) 502-519
The history of fish diseases in western United States shows an increasing awareness that viruses could cause epizootics in fish. Fishery biologists bunked first, for protozoan and metazoan parasites, then for bacteria, and if none could be identified assumed that the mortalities were attributable to nutritional deficiency, Microbiologists in general...
Experimental hexamitiasis in juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdner)
1965, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (94) 53-61
An exogenous strain of cultured Hexamita salmonis (Moore) was employed to induce trophic hexamitiasis in otherwise disease-free juveniles of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Mortality and growth were the parameters used to detect the effects of hexamitiasis on the two species. Two levels of each of...
