The role of the USFWS geographic information system in coastal decisionmaking The role of the USFWS geographic information system in coastal decisionmaking

Unprecedented demand on coastal resources in the 1980's has generated a need for valid information and analyses to support wise management of the coastal zone. The National Coastal Ecosystems Team of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently implemented a geographic information system to enhance its ability to analyze and display environmental information about the coastal zone...

Chemical immobilization of North American mule deer Chemical immobilization of North American mule deer

The choice of agents for chemical immobilization of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) is a problem with a simple and effective solution, in my opinion. I recommend combinations of etorphine hydrochloride (M199©) and xylazine hydrochloride (Rompun©) administered intravenously and reversed intravenously. I have used this combination on hundreds of mule deer and have supervised its use on...

CHEMICAL STRUCTURES IN COAL: GEOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE PRESENCE OF MIXED STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. CHEMICAL STRUCTURES IN COAL: GEOCHEMICAL EVIDENCE FOR THE PRESENCE OF MIXED STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS.

The purpose of this paper is to summarize work on the chemical structural components of coal, comparing them with their possible plant precursors in modern peat. Solid-state **1**3C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared spectroscopy (IR), elemental analysis and, in some cases, individual compound analyses formed the bases for these comparisons.

CONTRIBUTION OF LAND USE DATA TO THE INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN FLOODING IN THE TUG FORK BASIN OF KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA. CONTRIBUTION OF LAND USE DATA TO THE INVESTIGATION OF TRENDS IN FLOODING IN THE TUG FORK BASIN OF KENTUCKY, VIRGINIA, AND WEST VIRGINIA.

The U. S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Mines and the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, is investigating effects of mining on flood frequency and magnitude within the basin. Changing land use, particularly the acceleration of surface mining, may cause or contribute to flooding problems.
