U-Pb isotopic evidence for accretion of a continental microplate in the Zalm region of the Saudi Arabian Shield
J. S. Stacey, R.A. Agar
1986, Open-File Report 86-166
The region covered by this work includes three of the main tectonic units of the Arabian Shield: the Afif continental terrane, the Nabitah suture with its associated mobile belt, and the Asir ensimatic arc terrane. The geology of the area is well understood, and this geochronologic and isotopic study confirms...

Trace-element contents of postorogenic granites of the eastern Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
J. S. Stuckless, R. B. Vaughn, George VanTrump Jr.
1986, Open-File Report 86-261
Trace-element contents for 46 postorogenic granitoids vary by as much as two orders of magnitude; most samples are strongly enriched in incompatible elements (such as the heavy rare earths, yttrium, niobium, and uranium) and depleted in the compatible elements (such as barium, strontium, scandium, europium, and cobalt). These trace-element characteristics...

Water quality of the Charlotte Harbor estuarine system, Florida, November 1982 through October 1984
Y.E. Stoker
1986, Open-File Report 85-563
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a multidisciplinary, 7-year study of the Charlotte Harbor estuarine system in southwest Florida. A large part of the study is devoted to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of water quality data, including physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. This report presents the water quality and...
Observations of the eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Washington
Richard P. Hoblitt
1986, Professional Paper 1335
The explosive eruptions of July 22 and August 7, 1980, at Mount St. Helens, Wash., both included multiple eruptive pulses. The beginnings of three of the pulses-two on July 22 and one on August 7-were witnessed and photographed. Each of these three began with a fountain of gases and pyroclasts...

Ice volumes on Cascade Volcanoes: Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, Three Sisters, and Mount Shasta
Carolyn L. Driedger, Paul M. Kennard
1986, Professional Paper 1365
During the eruptions of Mount St. Helens the occurrence of floods and mudflows made apparent the need for predictive water-hazard analysis of other Cascade volcanoes. A basic requirement for such analysis is information about the volumes and distributions of snow and ice on other volcanoes. A radar unit contained in a...
A model for the plastic flow of landslides
William Z. Savage, William K. Smith
1986, Professional Paper 1385
To further the understanding of the mechanics of landslide flow, we present a model that predicts many of the observed attributes of landslides. The model is based on an integration of the hyperbolic differential equations for stress and velocity fields in a two-dimensional, inclined, semi-infinite half-space of Coulomb plastic material...
