Hornblende-rich, high grade metamorphic terranes in the southernmost Sierra Nevada, California, and implications for crustal depths and batholith roots
Donald Clarence Ross
1983, Open-File Report 83-465
The southernmost Sierra Nevaaa widely exposes hornblende-rich, gneissic to granoblastic, amphibolite- to granulite-grade, metamorphic rocks and associated magmatic rocks, all of mid-Cretaceous age. Locally, red garnet, in part in euhedral crystals as large as 10 cm, as well as strongly pleochroic hyperstnene, characterize these rocks. These hornblende-rich rocks dominate the...

Time series analysis of Cenozoic era sea level and paleotemperature data
George H. Rosenfield, Tod E. Huffman
1983, Open-File Report 83-566
A statistical analysis of Cenozoic era sea level and paleotemperature data was performed to determine the cycles of each data set and the correspondence between them. Accordingly, each of the four time series were first analyzed independently in the univariate mode of a spectral analysis. The two basic data sets...

Short-range vertical variation in organic carbon, carbonate carbon, total sulfur contents and Munsell color values in a core from the Upper Pennsylvanian Stark Shale Member of the Dennis Limestone, Wabaunsee County, Kansas
M.R. Stanton, Joel S. Leventhal, Joseph R. Hatch
1983, Open-File Report 83-315
Organic carbon, total sulfur, carbonate carbon and Munsell color value were determined for 21 successive samples from a 53-cm-thick section of drill core. These samples are from the Stark Shale Member of the Dennis Limestone of Upper Pennsylvanian age, Wabaunsee County, Kansas. The data confirm previous results (Hosterman and Whitlow,...

A practical, low-noise coil system for magnetotellurics
William D. Stanley, Richard D. Tinkler
1983, Open-File Report 83-85
Magnetotellurics is a geophysical technique which was developed by Cagnaird (1953) and Tikhonov (1950) and later refined by other scientists worldwide. The technique is a method of electromagnetic sounding of the Earth and is based upon the skin depth effect in conductive media. The electric and magnetic fields arising from...

1983, Open-File Report 83-127
The Governor of Florida established the Charlotte Harbor Resource Planning and Management committee to recommend the course of action Florida should take in planning for potential growth in the rapidly growing area surrounding Charlotte Harbor. In May 1981, the U.S. Geological Survey began a planning study to determine detailed hydrologic...
Basic program "IPFLTR" for induced polarization data reduction and filtering
Hamdy S. Sadek
1983, Open-File Report 83-485
The recently developed induced polarization (IP) mapping technique can be successfully applied to IP dipole-dipole data and includes three types of filters that can be applied to IP pseudosections that have IP anomalies caused by different types of sources. The technique yields a single output value per station; this value...
Water levels and salinities of water within the Evangeline Aquifer in an area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas
Paul Rettman
1983, Open-File Report 82-174
During 1982, about 275 wells located in a 4,680 square-mile area southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas were measured to determine water-levels and specific conductance of water in the Evangeline aquifer. A large cone of depression with a maximum depth of 200 feet below NGVD of 1929 was identified near Kingsville....
