Materials and energy flows in the earth science century : summary of a workshop held by the USGS [in Reston] in November 1998 Materials and energy flows in the earth science century : summary of a workshop held by the USGS [in Reston] in November 1998
For the 21st century, the USGS and many others throughout government, academia, and the private sector carry a hopeful vision of better solutions to the problems of depleting natural resources and creating excessive wastes. For this effort, investigators are engaging in whole system views of the human condition using the tools of materials and energy flow accounting and industrial...

20th century U.S. mineral prices decline in constant dollars 20th century U.S. mineral prices decline in constant dollars
Price indexes developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) indicate that the long-term constant dollar price of key U.S. mineral raw materials declined over the last century, even though the need for mineral raw materials increased during the same period. Technologies and reduced production costs have allowed mineral production to remain profitable, while lower priced mineral products...

Fish communities and their relation to environmental factors in the eastern Iowa basins in Iowa and Minnesota, 1996 Fish communities and their relation to environmental factors in the eastern Iowa basins in Iowa and Minnesota, 1996
Fish community data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at 12 sites in 1996 in the Wapsipinicon, the Cedar, the Iowa, and the Skunk River Basins in eastern Iowa. The study was done as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program of the USGS. This report presents an evaluation of the fish communities, the composition and conditions of the fish communities...

Nutrients and Suspended Solids in Surface Waters of the Upper Illinois River Basin in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, 1978-97 Nutrients and Suspended Solids in Surface Waters of the Upper Illinois River Basin in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, 1978-97
A retrospective analysis of selected data on nutrients and suspended solids in surface waters of the upper Illinois River Basin was done as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. Approximately 91 percent of the upper Illinois River Basin is drained by three principal rivers: the Kankakee (and its major tributary, the Iroquois), the...

Water quality in the eastern Iowa basins, Iowa and Minnesota, 1996-98 Water quality in the eastern Iowa basins, Iowa and Minnesota, 1996-98
The water quality in rivers and streams and in selected aquifers in eastern Iowa and part of southern Minnesota is described and illustrated. Major ions, nitrogen and other nutrients, and pesticides and some of their breakdown compounds were analyzed in both surface and ground water. Biological communities that included fish, invertebrates, and algae, were described in relation to stream...

Total materials consumption; an estimation methodology and example using lead; a materials flow analysis Total materials consumption; an estimation methodology and example using lead; a materials flow analysis
Materials consumption estimates, such as apparent consumption of raw materials, can be important indicators of sustainability. Apparent consumption of raw materials does not account for material contained in manufactured products that are imported or exported and may thus under- or over-estimate total consumption of materials in the domestic economy. This report demonstrates a...
