The Voice in the Whirlwind: Lessons for Job -- Randomness and Natural Evil
The innocent Job suffers, friends are no help, and then Job screams at Yahweh, demanding justice. The first surprise is that Yehweh responds to Job, does not criticize him but tells him he is ignorant, and then gives him a science lesson. The content of that lesson is the second surprise

Effects of seasonability and variability of streamflow on nearshore coastal areas: final report
General nature and scope of the study:
This study examines the variability of streamflow in all
gaged Alaskan rivers and streams which terminate in the ocean.
Forty-one such streams have been gaged for varying periods of
time by the U. S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division.
Attempts have been made to characterize streamflow statistically
using standard hydrological methods. The analysis scheme
which was employed is shown in the flow chart which follows.
In addition to the statistical characterization, the following
will be described for each stream when possible:
1. average period of break-up initiation (10-day period)
2. average period of freeze-up (10-day period)
3. miscellaneous break-up and freeze-up data.
4. relative hypsometric curve for each basin
5. observations on past ice-jam flooding
6. verbal description of annual flow variation
7. original indices developed in this study to relate streamflow
variability to basin characteristics and regional
climate.This study was supported under contract 03-5-022-56, Task Order
#4, Research Unit #111, between the University of Alaska and NOAA,
Department of Commerce to which funds were provided by the Bureau of
Land Management through an interagency agreement
