Influence of near-surface stratigraphy on coastal landslides at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, USA Influence of near-surface stratigraphy on coastal landslides at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Lake Michigan, USA
Lake-level change and landslides are primary controls on the development of coastal environments along the coast of northeastern Lake Michigan. The late Quaternary geology of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore was examined with high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and boreholes. Based on sequence-stratigraphic principles, this study recognizes...

A visual basic program to generate sediment grain-size statistics and to extrapolate particle distributions A visual basic program to generate sediment grain-size statistics and to extrapolate particle distributions
Measures that describe and summarize sediment grain-size distributions are important to geologists because of the large amount of information contained in textural data sets. Statistical methods are usually employed to simplify the necessary comparisons among samples and quantify the observed differences. The two statistical methods most commonly used by sedimentologists to describe...

Movement behavior, dispersal, and the potential for localized management of deer in a suburban environment Movement behavior, dispersal, and the potential for localized management of deer in a suburban environment
We examined the potential for localized management of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) to be successful by measuring movements, testing site fidelity, and modeling the effects of dispersal. Fifty-nine females were radiomarked and tracked during 1997 through 2000 in Irondequoit, New York, USA, a suburb of Rochester. We constructed home ranges for those deer with A greater than...

Natural remediation potential of arsenic-contaminated ground water Natural remediation potential of arsenic-contaminated ground water
Migration of leachate from a municipal landfill in Saco, Maine has resulted in arsenic concentrations in ground water as high as 647 μg/L. Laboratory experimental data indicate the primary source of arsenic to be reductive dissolution of arsenic-enriched iron oxyhydroxides in the aquifer by organic carbon in landfill leachate. A core from an uncontaminated part of the aquifer yielded no...

Application of artificial neural networks to complex groundwater management problems Application of artificial neural networks to complex groundwater management problems
As water quantity and quality problems become increasingly severe, accurate prediction and effective management of scarcer water resources will become critical. In this paper, the successful application of artificial neural network (ANN) technology is described for three types of groundwater prediction and management problems. In the first example, an ANN was trained with simulation data...
