Timber management of coastal watersheds in southwest Oregon has
been complicated by the need to protect anadromous fish habitat from
accelerated stream sedimentation resulting from management activity.
The rugged terrain of the Elk and Sixes River basins is underlain by
the complex geological province of the Klamath Mountains, in which...

A new technique for determining the amount of opal in deep-sea
sediments of any age is described. Using a normative calculation, a
portion of the analytical silica concentration of sediments is subtracted
as non-biogenic in proportion to the concentration of aluminum in the
sample. The ratio of SiO₂:Al₂O₃ used to...
