Explosion-induced stress changes estimated from vibrating-wire stressmeter measurements near the Mighty Epic event, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis, J.D. Kibler
1983, Open-File Report 83-642
Explosion-induced compressive stress increases near an underground nuclear explosion are believed to contribute significantly to the containment of high-pressure gases within the explosion-produced cavity. These induced compressive stresses are predicted by computer calculations, but have never been adequately confirmed by field measurements, owing primarily to the unique difficulties of obtaining...

Discharge data at water-quality monitoring stations in Arkansas, 1981 water year
R.K. Knott
1983, Open-File Report 83-214
Discharge data were computed for a network of water-quality monitoring stations operated by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology (ADPC and E). All stations in the network were visited by Geological Survey personnel. Discharges on days of sampling were determined for 83 of the sites. A summary table...
A description of aquifer units in western Oregon
W. D. McFarland
1983, Open-File Report 82-165
Hydrogeologic information for western Oregon was compiled to aid the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in evaluating proposals for underground injection of waste fluid. Geologic formations were grouped into seven aquifer units according to hydraulic and geologic similarities. The bedrock aquifer units in the Klamath Mountains, Coast Range, and Western Cascade...

Hydraulic-fracturing measurmements in two boreholes near the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis
1983, Open-File Report 83-406
Hydraulic-fracturing measurements are used to infer the magnitude of the least principal stress in the vicinity of the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, located in the Climax stock at the Nevada Test Site. The measurements, made at various depths in two exploratory boreholes, suggest that the local stress field is not uniform....

Late Proterozoic island-arc complexes and tectonic belts in the southern part of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
William R. Greenwood, D. B. Stoeser, R.J. Fleck, J. S. Stacey
1983, Open-File Report 83-296
Two main subdivisions of layered rocks are recognized in the southern Arabian Shield south of lat 22? N. These are an older ensimatic-arc complex, which formed 1100-800 m.y. ago, and a younger marginal-arc complex, which formed 800-690 m.y. ago. The older ensimatic-arc complex, located in the southwestern part of the...

Hydrogeologic evaluation of selected stratified-drift deposits in Connecticut
S. J. Grady, E. H. Handman
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4010
Test borings at 28 sites and seismic-refraction profiles at 16 sites provide data on the saturated thickness and grain-size characteristics of stratified-drift deposits in five areas of Connecticut. These data, together with information on the areal extent of the deposits and their proximity to sources of induced recharge, can be...
Ground-water resources in the Hood Basin, Oregon
Stephen J. Grady
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-1108
The Hood Basin, an area of 1,035 square miles in north-central Oregon, includes the drainage basins of all tributaries of the Columbia River between Eagle Creek and Fifteenmile Creek. The physical characteristics and climate of the basin are diverse. The Wasco subarea, in the eastern half of the basin, has...

Stratigraphy of the Silurian outcrop belt on the east side of the Cincinnati Arch in Kentucky, with revisions in the nomenclature
Robert C. McDowell
1983, Professional Paper 1151-F
Silurian rocks form a narrow arcuate outcrop belt about 100 mi long on the east side of the Cincinnati Arch in Kentucky. They range from as much as 300 ft thick in the north to a pinchout edge in the south. The nomenclature of this sequence is revised to reflect...

Samples collected with the Helley-Smith bedload sampler provide useful information about transport of sand-size sediment in Illinois streams. Samples provide the basis for bedload-discharge rating curves for the Rock and Kaskaskie Rivers and Henderson Creek. Comparison of measured bedload discharge with bedload discharge computed for selected flow conditions from channel...
