Natural And Anthropogenic Forces Acting On A Forest Lake, M. C. Whiteside, M. B. King, K. Pulling
Natural And Anthropogenic Forces Acting On A Forest Lake, M. C. Whiteside, M. B. King, K. Pulling
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABS1RACT-Lak~ Itasca, Minnes~ta is located within one of the more popular state parks. Since the turn of the centmy, loggmg, fire protection, and development within the watershed have put modest pressures on the ecosystem. The presence of the University of Minnesota's Biological and Forestry Station on the lake has encouraged research in this region. Consequently there are numerous research reports and papers which are available _at the station's library. We examined data collected over the past 25 years to see if we could detect changes ~~ the lake. We detected no changes in phytoplankton, macrophyte, zooplankton, or zoobenthos com~urnues, but …

County-Based Priority Assessment Methodology For Phasing Of Wellhead Protection Programs, H. O. Pfannkuch, M. E. Campion, D. C. Mccaa, J. M. Palenberg
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT-Setting priorities to schedule and implement wellhead protection programs for municipal and community drinking water supplies is presented in the framework of a general risk assessment approach. This includes a hazard identification procedure representing the likelihood of contaminants being released to the surface environment, a hydrogeologic vulnerability assessment representing the risk of contaminants entering the groundwater supply, and an impact assessment, strongly linked to the population at risk. A methodology was developed to aggregate information on a county basis for Minnesota. The resulting composite risk index map shows a number of counties in the central part of the state roughly …

Interbasin Water Transfers: An Economic Panacea Or A Political Ploy?, K. William Easter, Nir Becker
Interbasin Water Transfers: An Economic Panacea Or A Political Ploy?, K. William Easter, Nir Becker
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT-New concern about the open access nature of the Great Lakes was sparked by the 1982 Sporhase Supreme Court Decision which limited states' power to prevent interbasin water transfers and was intensified by the 1988 drought in the Midwest. In response to the court decision, the Great Lakes Charter was adopted which established a set of management rules for new interbasin water transfers and other consumptive water uses. However, not all Great Lakes states have implemented the Charter provisions and, even if they did, it is not clear that the Charter objectives could be reached. The big losers from a …
Analysis Of Unmodified Stone Materials From The Cambria Site, Charles R. Watrall
Analysis Of Unmodified Stone Materials From The Cambria Site, Charles R. Watrall
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
Analysis of the stone materials from the Cambria Site reinforces cultural implications about the site made on formal artifact analysis alone. Secondly, the paper illustrates a simple means of analysis to gain vital information on archaeological site culture history.
A Preliminary Report On The Itasca Bison Site, Creighton T. Shay
A Preliminary Report On The Itasca Bison Site, Creighton T. Shay
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
In the summer of 1937 excavations conducted by the University of Minnesota Anthropology Department in Itasca State Park yielded extinct bison and other animal remains along with several stone artifacts. A preliminary notice was published in Science shortly after excavation was completed (Jenks, 193 7). The bones were extracted from a marl layer underlying a peat bog near the south end of the west arm of Lake Itasca. The deposit was discovered during construction of a road bridge over Nicollet Creek adjacent to the site. Material in the following report was assembled from unpublished field notes and records on file …
