Water movement in the unsaturated zone at a low-level radioactive-waste burial site near Barnwell, South Carolina
K.F. Dennehy, P.B. McMahon
1987, Open-File Report 87-46
Four unsaturated zone monitoring sites and a meteorologic station were installed at the low level radioactive waste burial site near Barnwell, South Carolina, to investigate the geohydrologic and climatologic factors affecting water movement in the unsaturated zone. The study site is located in the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The unsaturated zone...

1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4050
The U.S. Geological Survey operated a blind audit sample program during 1974 to test the effects of the sample handling and shipping procedures used by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program and National Trends Network on the quality of wet deposition data produced by the combined networks. Blind audit samples, which...
Geochemical survey and mineral resource assessment of the Worley Ridge Roadless Area, Rabun County, Georgia
Frank G. Lesure, John F. D'Agostino, John D. Peper
1987, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1985-B
The Worley Ridge Roadless Area includes about 3,000 acres of Chattahoochee National Forest land in Rabun County, Ga. The area is underlain mostly by meta-arkose of the Tallulah Falls Formation that grades upward into a mixed-rock unit of interlayered mica schist, amphibolite, and metasandstone in the northwest corner. Abundant rock...

Maps and seismic profiles showing geology of the inner continental shelf, Cape Ann, Massachusetts to New Hampshire
R. N. Oldale, L. E. Wommack
1987, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1892
This interpretation of the geology of the Inner Continental Shelf from Cape Ann, Mass. to New Hampshire (fig. 1) is based on high-resolution seismic-reflection surveys conducted in 1979 and 1980 as part of a cooperative program between the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the U.S. Geological Survey. Seismic data...

Water-resources activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in South Dakota; fiscal years 1986-87
E. M. Decker (compiler)
1987, Open-File Report 87-383
In South Dakota, the first collection of streamflow data by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) was in 1903. Despite its early beginning, it was not until October 16, 1944, that the Bismarck District, comprising the states of North Dakota and South Dakota , was created to assess the water resources...
Organochlorine pesticide residues in bed sediments of the San Joaquin River and its tributary streams, California
R. J. Gilliom, D.G. Clifton
1987, Open-File Report 87-531
The distribution and concentrations of organochlorine pesticide residues in bed sediments were assessed from samples collected at 24 sites in the San Joaquin River and its tributaries in the San Joaquin Valley, California. Sampling was designed to collect the finest grained bed sediments present in the vicinity of each site....

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Flathead catfish
Lawrence A. Lee, James W. Terrell
1987, FWS/OBS 82/10.152
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop a Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris). The model consolidates habitat use information into a framework appropriate for field application, and is scaled to produce an index between 0.0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1.0 (optimum...
Gravity profiles across the Uyaijah Ring structure, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
M. E. Gettings, G. E. Andreasen
1987, Open-File Report 87-500
Three detailed gravity profiles across parts of the Uyaijah ring structure have been completed using an average station spacing of 260 M (giving a total of 217 gravity stations) and level surveys for elevation control. When combined with regional gravity-anomaly data, the profiles are adequate for construction of a structural...
