Chlorinated hydrocarbons in the marine environment. A report prepared by the Panel on Monitoring Persistent Pesticides in the Marine Environment of the Committee on Oceanography

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS : The oceans are an ultimate accumulation site for the persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons. As much as 25 percent of the DDT compounds produced to date may have been transferred to the sea. The amount of DDT compounds in the marine biota is estimated to be less than 0.1 percent of total production, yet this amount has produced a demonstrable impact upon the marine en

Clay minerals: A guide to their x-ray identification

This paper is a guide to the X-ray examination of clay minerals; it incorporates background information concerning the principal crystallographic features of clay minerals, and how this is used in the X-ray identification of these minerals, together with laboratory techniques and the application of X-ray diffractometry to the diagnosis of the clay minerals in natural sedimentary materials.

Geology and regional metamorphism of some high-grade cordierite gneisses, Front Range, Colorado

Cordierite is common in regional metamorphic gneisses of Precambrian age in the central part of the Front Range. It occurs in discontinuous stratigraphic units that are structurally a minor component, except locally, of the thick succession of biotite gneisses that comprise the widespread Idaho Springs Formation. The rocks have mineral assemblages, that are characteristic of the sillimanite grade
