Implications of the minor element content of some major streams of the world
W. H. Durum, J. Haffty
1963, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (27) 1-11
Of 15 or more minor elements in the world's principal river waters only aluminum, iron, manganese, barium and strontium range much over 100 μgl">100 μgl. (parts per billion). Most minor elements range at or below 100 μg1">100 μg1. and have...
Dynamic similarity in erosional processes
A. E. Scheidegger
1963, Geofisica Pura e Applicata (56) 58-66
A study is made of the dynamic similarity conditions obtaining in a variety of erosional processes. The pertinent equations for each type of process are written in dimensionless form; the similarity conditions can then easily be deduced. The processes treated are: raindrop action, slope evolution and river erosion....
Origin of the Nubian and similar sandstones
E. D. McKee
1963, Geologische Rundschau (52) 551-587
The Nubian Sandstone and similar sandstone bodies exposed across much of northern Africa and adjoining parts of Asia are characteristically formed of clean sand that is conspicuously cross stratified throughout. Such sandstone, here called Nubian-type sandstone, ranges from Cambrian through Cretaceous in age and its genesis has been interpreted in...
Food of the bloater, Coregonus hoyi, in Lake Michigan
LaRue Wells, Alfred M. Beeton
1963, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (92) 245-255
Stomachs were examined from 1,469 Lake Michigan bloaters, Coregonus [Leucichthys] hoyi, greater than 7 inches long which contained identifiable food. An additional 461 ciscoes less than 7 inches long were incorporated into the study; these latter fish were not positively identified, but most of them undoubtedly were bloaters. The specimens...
The use of alkalinity and conductivity measurements to estimate concentrations of 3-trifluormethyl-4-nitrophenol required for treating lamprey streams
Richard K. Kanayama
1963, Technical Report 7
A method has been devised to estimate the minimum concentration of TFM that will kill sea lampreys and the maximum that will not kill fish. It is based on the relation of these concentrations to the alkalinity and the conductivity of various waters. Pretreatment bioassays will continue to...
Hydrology of upper Black Earth Creek basin, Wisconsin, with a section on surface water
Denzel R. Cline, Mark W. Busby
1963, Water Supply Paper 1669-C
The upper Black Earth Creek drainage basin has an area of 46 square miles and is in Dane County in south-central Wisconsin. The oldest rock exposed in the valley walls is the sandstone of Late Cambrian age. Dolomite of the Prairie du Chien Group of Ordovician age overlies the sandstone...
Persistence of DDT and its metabolites in a farm pond
W.R. Bridges, B.J. Kallman, A.K. Andrews
1963, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (92) 421-427
A farm pond near Morrison, Colorado, was treated with 0.02 p.p.m. of DDT in June 1961. The persistence and distribution of the insecticide in materials sampled from the aquatic environment were studied until November 1962. Detectable amounts of DDT were not found in the water after 3 weeks. Residues in...
Polyethylene as a source of artifacts in the paper chromatography of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides
C.C. Van Valin, B.J. Kallman, J.J O’Donnell Jr.
1963, Chemist-Analyst (52) 73-73
The introduction of artifacts from vessels, materials, and chemicals is a serious problem in the study of pesticide residues. It is therefore of interest to record findings that polyethylene wash bottles contain substances soluble in organic solvents and reactive with the silver nitrate chromogenic spray commonly employed in the paper...
Association and determinacy in geomorphology
Luna Bergere Leopold, Walter Basil Langbein
Claude C. Albritton Jr., editor(s)
1963, Book chapter, The fabric of geology
You find a rock. It looks like an ordinary piece of flint, broken and rough. On a part of it is a patina whose soft grey color contrasts with the shiny brownish surfaces of conchoidal fracture. You could have found this rock in nearly any kind of an environment almost...
A plane-type soil sampler
Paul J. Frey
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 46-49
While studying the effects of pesticides on fish and their environment for the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife, I have developed a soil sampler that will collect a thin uniform layer of sediment from pond and stream bottoms. As it is becoming increasingly important to analyze the residual deposits...
Diffusion of herbicides through plastic film
W.R. Bridges, Herman O. Sanders
1963, Progressive Fish-Culturist (25) 213-214
Plastic film have been used by fishery workers as barriers to subdivide experimental ponds in order to assess the value of some chemical treatment, and as test vessels to contain dilute solutions or suspensions of toxic chemicals in experiments conducted to establish tolerance levels of these chemicals for fish....
Floods in Wyoming, magnitude and frequency
J. R. Carter, A. Rice Green
1963, Circular 478
This report contains the results of four separate flood-frequency analyses designated A, B, C, and D. Analysis A is for the portion of Wyoming east of the Continental Divide. Analysis B applies to the portion of Wyoming in Part 9, as designated in streamflow reports entitled "Surface Water Supply of...
A primer on ground water
Helene L. Baldwin, C. L. McGuinness
1963, Report
Most of us don't have to look for water. We grew up either in big cities where there was a public water supply, or in small towns or on farms where the water came from wells. But there are some people to whom finding a new supply of water is...

The movement, heterogeneity, and rate of exploitation of walleyes in northern Green Bay, Lake Michigan, as determined by tagging
Walter R. Crowe, Ernest G. Karvelis, Leonard S. Joeris
1963, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the North Atlantic Fish Marking Symposium
The Michigan waters of northern Green Bay are an important center for commercial and sport fishing. This 400-square-mile area has supported a commercial fishery for many years but the development of the intensive sport fishery is more recent, mostly since World War II. The commercial fishery is based on several...
