Audit of VSMOW distributed by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology Audit of VSMOW distributed by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology
Bright-orange floating matter (possibly algae) has been observed in the United States supply of some ampoules and in one of two 10-L primary glass storage flasks of the isotopic reference water VSMOW (Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water). Within experimental error, ampoules with and without this orange matter are identical in stable hydrogen and oxygen isotopic composition. Thus, the North...

Continental drilling for paleoclimatic records: Recommendations from an international workshop Continental drilling for paleoclimatic records: Recommendations from an international workshop
The Workshop, entitled "Continental Drilling for Paleoclimate Records", was sponsored by the Past Global Changes (PAGES) Project, a core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and by the GeoForschungsZentrum, Potsdam, Germany, in conjunction with the International Continental Drilling Programme (ICDP). The impetus for the meeting was the need for long...

Seafloor environments within the Boston Harbor- Massachusetts Bay sedimentary system: A regional synthesis Seafloor environments within the Boston Harbor- Massachusetts Bay sedimentary system: A regional synthesis
Modern seafloor sedimentary environments within the glaciated, topographically complex Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay area have been interpreted and mapped from an extensive collection of sidescan sonar records and supplemental marine geologic data. Three categories of environments are present that reflect the dominant long-term processes of erosion or nondeposition, deposition, and...

Geometry of sandy deposits at the distal edge of the Mississippi Fan, Gulf of Mexico Geometry of sandy deposits at the distal edge of the Mississippi Fan, Gulf of Mexico
Sidescan sonar provides a map of the seafloor that has greatly improved the understanding of depositional processes on modern deep-sea fans (e.g. Mutti and Normark 1991). Here, we present a sidescan-sonar mosaic from the eastern Gulf of Mexico that images the distal reaches of a channel on the Mississippi Fan and the deposits associated with it (Fig. 41.1). This area is one of several...

Radium and radon in ground water in the Chickies Quartzite, southeastern Pennsylvania Radium and radon in ground water in the Chickies Quartzite, southeastern Pennsylvania
The Chickies Quartzite, a Lower Cambrian-age formation compromised of quartzite and slate overlying a basal conglomerate, forms a narrow ridges and crops out discontinuously over 112 square miles in the Piedmont physiographic province of southeastern Pennsylvania. The formation is a low-yielding, fractured- rock, water-table aquifer recharged primarily by local precipitation. It is the...

A workbook for preparing surface water quality-assurance plans for districts of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division A workbook for preparing surface water quality-assurance plans for districts of the U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division
The U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division, has a policy that each District Office is required to prepare a District Surface Water Quality-Assurance Plan. The plan for each District describes the policies and procedures that ensure high quality in the collection, processing, analysis, computer storage, and publication of surface-water data. The guidelines presented in this...
