The storm caused major flooding central to coastal areas Carolina. Almost 27 inches rain fell...
Urbanisation is often linked with habitat loss and a reduction in species richness but some may be able to adapt urban environments. Water voles Arvicola amphibius, rapidly declining the UK, have recently been recorded isolated grassland habitats Glasgow, Scotland's largest city (human population 1.2 million). The aim of this study was determine distribution characteristics water vole populations occupying these dry grasslands. Field work undertaken from March October 2014 34 km2 area...
The goal of this study was to assess the effect that Late Eocene Chesapeake Bay bolide impact had on local patterns calcareous nannofossil species composition, richness and preservation. Although nan- nofossil assemblages have been described from a handful coreholes drilled within structure, is first examine nannofossils Watkins School core, which recovered along outer rim crater. A detailed stratigraphic assessment across syn- impact-postimpact boundary performed determine whether produced...
Santee Cooper is planning to construct an electricity generating station in southeastern Florence County near the Kingsburg community. As part of this project, a water-intake structure will be constructed on Pee Dee River Bostick Boat Landing, which located east intersection State secondary roads S-21-57 and S-21-66. Velocity, bathymetric, dissolved oxygen data are needed help determine location for structure. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), cooperation with Cooper, collected these at...
Until the 1990s, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) had been making streamflow measurements using same type of equipment for more than 100 years. The Price AA current meter was developed by USGS engineers in 1896. recently, majority all made were this instrument. In mid-1990s, a new technology emerged field inland monitoring. acoustic Doppler profiler (ADCP), originally oceanographic work, adapted measurements. This instrument is transforming streamgaging program. ADCP transmits an pulse through...
