Regional significance of an early Holocene moraine in Enchantment Lakes basin, North Cascade Range, Washington
R. B. Waitt Jr., J. C. Yount, P.T. Davis
1982, Quaternary Research (17) 191-210
The upper Enchantment Lakes basin in the North Cascade Range of Washington displays two moraine belts, each recording an episode of glacier advance after the end of the last glaciation. The inner belt, the Brynhild, 0.1 to 0.5 km beyond existing glaciers, postdates Mount St. Helens Wn tephra (∼450 yr...

The occurrence and fission-track ages of late neogene and quaternary volcanic sediments, Siwalik group, Northern Pakistan
G.D. Johnson, P. Zeitler, C. W. Naeser, N.M. Johnson, D.M. Summers, C.D. Frost, N.D. Opdyke, R.A.K. Tahirkheli
1982, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (37) 63-93
Volcanic sediments, now mostly bentonites and bentonitic mudstones, occur throughout the Late Neogene and Quaternary Siwalik Group of northern Pakistan. A number of these deposits have been dated by the fission-track method, utilizing zircon phenocrysts from these deposits, and provide the chronometric constraints upon which a paleomagnetic stratigraphy is developed...
Chronology of late Wisconsinan glaciation in middle North America
L. Clayton, S.R. Moran
1982, Quaternary Science Reviews (1) 55-82
We propose a chronology of late Wisconsinan glacial fluctuations in middle North America, from Alberta to Wisconsin, based on radiocarbon dates derived solely from wood. Previous chronologies of the southwestern margin of the North American Continental Ice Sheet have depended to a considerable degree on radiocarbon dates from fine-grained organic...
An oilspill trajectory analysis model with a variable wind deflection angle
W.B. Samuels, N.E. Huang, D.E. Amstutz
1982, Ocean Engineering (9) 347-360
The oilspill trajectory movement algorithm consists of a vector sum of the surface drift component due to wind and the surface current component. In the U.S. Geological Survey oilspill trajectory analysis model, the surface drift component is assumed to be 3.5% of the wind speed and is rotated 20 degrees...
Photogrammetric application of Viking Orbital photography
S.S.C. Wu, A.A. Elassal, R. Jordan, F.J. Schafer
1982, Planetary and Space Science (30) 45-55
Special techniques are described for the photogrammetric compilation of topographic maps and profiles from stereoscopic photographs taken by the two Viking Orbiter spacecraft. These techniques were developed because the extremely narrow field of view of the Viking cameras precludes compilation by conventional photogrammetric methods. The techniques adjust for internal consistency...
An electric-analog simulation of elliptic partial differential equations using finite element theory
O.L. Franke, G.F. Pinder, E.P. Patten
1982, Mathematics and Computers in Simulation (24) 65-71
Elliptic partial differential equations can be solved using the Galerkin-finite element method to generate the approximating algebraic equations, and an electrical network to solve the resulting matrices. Some element configurations require the use of networks containing negative resistances which, while physically realizable, are more expensive and time-consuming to construct....

1982, Open-File Report 82-259
This map presents the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer in central Sumter County, Florida, for September 1981. The Floridan aquifer is the principal source of potable water in the area. The focus of the map is the potentiometric surface in the Jumper Creek Canal area for the high water-level...
Mitigation and enhancement techniques for the Upper Mississippi River system and other large river systems
Rosalie A. Schnick, John M. Morton, Jeffrey C. Mochalski, Jonathan T. Beall
1982, Resource Publication 149
Extensive information is provided on techniques that can reduce or eliminate the negative impact of man's activities (particularly those related to navigation) on large river systems, with special reference to the Upper Mississippi River. These techniques should help resource managers who are concerned with such river systems to establish...
Water resources data, Indiana, water year 1981

Ground-water withdrawals and land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 1906-80
R.K. Gabrysch
1982, Open-File Report 82-571
The withdrawal of larqe amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 250 feet (76 meters) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 300 feet (91 meters) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-77....
Water quality of Canyon Lake, central Texas

The volume-weighted average concentrations of the principal dissolved constituents in Canyon Lake on the Guadalupe River in central Texas are usually less than 240 milligrams per liter of dissolved solids, 20 milligrams per liter of chloride, and 30 milligrams per liter of sulfate. The water, which is very hard, has...
