Comparison of thermal data from airborne and vessel surveys of Lake Erie Comparison of thermal data from airborne and vessel surveys of Lake Erie
A study of the applications of airborne infrared equipment for detecting water masses and currents of the Great Lakes is described. Infrared scanners were used to make thermal strip maps and an infrared radiometer was used to obtain surface temperatures of the western end of Lake Erie and the lower Detroit River. Simultaneously, surface water temperatures were taken and water samples...

Devonian rocks of the Yukon-Porcupine Rivers area and their tectonic relation to other Devonian sequences in Alaska Devonian rocks of the Yukon-Porcupine Rivers area and their tectonic relation to other Devonian sequences in Alaska
Devonian rocks along the Yukon River near the Alaska-Yukon boundary comprise 250 feet of limestone and shale and 800 feet of chert and siliceous shale, all referred to the McCann Hill Chert of Early to Late Devonian age; about 3,000 feet of non-marine chert-pebble conglomerate, graywacke, and shale of the Nation River Formation (Late Devonian); and about 3,000 feet of an unnamed chert...

Standards for water quality Standards for water quality
The quality which is necessary depends on the use to which the water will be put. Because uses vary, so also must quality standards. Maintaining any level of quality presents a problem of cost and depends on variations in natural water characteristics, in time and space, and variations in volume and types of wastes. For quality standards appropriate to a given water body, hydrologic...

Devonian of the Northern Rocky Mountains and plains Devonian of the Northern Rocky Mountains and plains
The Devonian System, represented predominantly by shallow-water marine carbonate, is widespread in Montana, Wyoming, eastern Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, and northwestern Nebraska. It comprises cratonic rocks in the east and miogeosynclinal rocks in the west. The cratonic rocks thicken generally northward from their southern limit in Wyoming across a broad shelf that occupies most...

Devonian of the Southwestern United States Devonian of the Southwestern United States
The structural framework that controlled Devonian deposition consisted of, from west to east: (1) a eugeosynclinal area in northern California and western Nevada; (2) a miogeosynclinal area in southeastern California, eastern Nevada, and western Utah; and (3) a cratonic area in Arizona, eastern Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and western Texas, east of a northeast-trending hinge line...

Devonian of the Appalachian Basin, United States Devonian of the Appalachian Basin, United States
Although Devonian rocks in the Appalachians have been studied for more than 150 years, they are poorly known in most of the area. The nearly complete Devonian sequence in New York has been established as the North American standard of reference. The structural belt that includes unmetamorphosed Devonian geosynclinal strata is bonded on the southeast and east by metamorphic and igneous...
