Trace metal bioavailability: Modeling chemical and biological interactions of sediment-bound zinc Trace metal bioavailability: Modeling chemical and biological interactions of sediment-bound zinc

Extractable concentrations of sediment-bound Zn, as modified by the physicochemical form of the metal in the sediments, controlled Zn concentrations in the deposit-feeding bivalvesScrobicularia plana (collected from 40 stations in 17 estuaries in southwest England) andMacoma balthica (from 28 stations in San Francisco Bay). Over a wide range of concentrations, a significant correlation...

Bright Angel and Mesa Butte fault systems of northern Arizona Bright Angel and Mesa Butte fault systems of northern Arizona

Regional geologic mapping using pictures from the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) has led to the recognition of two parallel northeast-trending systems of normal faults, each of which can be traced more than 100 km. Many eruptive centers appear to be localized along these fault systems or along their extensions. The faults are chiefly observed in Phanerozoic rocks and...
