Self-recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in February 1975. Approximately one-half were part of a short-term array. Data from these short-term instruments are described in Pillsbury, Bottero and Still (1976). This report is complementary to Report 65 and describes the data from the long-term array.
The long-term array...
A sheep enterprise can be ranch size or it can fit into a few acres. It can be a full-time occupation, but it also is well suited for diversified and
part-time farmers, or it can be expertly handled by the spouse or younger members of the farm family. Sheep are...
The capabilities of the coagulation-filtration process for virus
removal were evaluated by constructing and operating a one step,
2 gpm coagulation-filtration pilot plant. Multi-media filters were
used without pre-coagulation and sedimentation. A T2 bacteriophage
was used as the indicator organism. The plant was operated under
a variety of conditions in...
There is a lack of scientific consensus about how top-down and bottom-up forces interact to structure terrestrial ecosystems. This is especially true for systems with large carnivore and herbivore species where the effects of predation versus food limitation on herbivores are controversial. Uncertainty exists whether top-down forces driven by large...
We investigated how large carnivores, herbivores, and plants may be linked to the maintenance of native species biodiversity through trophic
cascades. The extirpation of wolves (Canis lupus) from Yellowstone National Park in the mid-1920s and their reintroduction in 1995 provided the
opportunity to examine the cascading effects of carnivore–herbivore interactions...
The Devonian Simonson and Guilmette Formations provide examples of
Cordilleran miogeosynclinal inner and middle shelf carbonate deposition
that act in response to changes in eustasy, sedimentation, and
tectonics. The Simonson Dolomite consists of four members that
collectively record three distinct transgressive-regressive cycles.
The Coarse Crystalline dolomudstone lithofacies represents restricted
upper...

Methane is the most abundant organic chemical in the
earth's atmosphere. Its abundance in the atmosphere is
increasing with time and has reached levels not seen in recent
geological history. The methane is produced both naturally, and
anthropogenically. One of the sources of anthropogenic methane
is manure from domesticated animals....
Internally recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in January 1977 and recovered in December 1977. Additional instruments were installed at this time and recovered in January 1979. The first array consisted of 21 Aanderaa current meters on five moorings. The second array was one mooring with three current...
