1963 progress report: Pesticide-bald eagle relationships

To sum up, we know that DDT in sufficient quantity will kill eagles. We know that wild eagles carry body burdens of DDT, and that some of this is transferred to the egg by the females. We do not know that the levels in the egg are sufficient to affect hatching; nor do we know that body burdens in wild eagles are sufficiently high to be detrimental. Certainly, however, we have no evidence...

Diatremes and uranium deposits in the Hopi Buttes, Arizona

The Hopi Buttes diatremes erupted in a shallow lake that was filled in as volcanic activity progressed in Pliocene time. At the end of the period of volcanism the landscape included low lava domes capping some of the diatremes, a few flows, and numerous craters of the maar type, surrounded by rims of volcanic debris with gentle exterior slopes that merged with the surrounding plain...
