Proceedings of Workshop XVI; The dynamic characteristics of faulting inferred from recordings of strong ground motion
John Boatwright, editor(s)
1982, Open-File Report 82-591
The strong ground motions radiated by earthquake faulting are controlled by the dynamic characteristics of the faulting process. Although this assertion seems self-evident, seismologists have only recently begun to derive and test quantitative relations between common measures of strong ground motion and the dynamic characteristics of faulting. Interest in this...
Vertical movement of ground water under the Merrill Field landfill, Anchorage, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, L.L. Dearborn
1982, Open-File Report 82-1016
Shallow groundwater under the Merrill Field sanitary landfill at Anchorage is polluted by leachate. Wells, including three Municipal-supply wells, obtain water from two confined aquifers 100-300 feet beneath the landfill area. Aquifer-test data and information on subsurface geology, ground-water levels, and properties of materials were used to estimate vertical gradients...
Assessment of hydrologic conditions in potential coal-lease tracts in the Warrior coal field, Alabama
Celso Puente, John F. Newton, Roy H. Bingham
1982, Open-File Report 81-540
Assessing the hydrology of potential Federal coal-lease tracts, because of their dissemination and limited data, requires some predictive capability. Four tracts assessed were located in the outcrop of three coal groups and of other relatively impermeable rocks in the Pottsville Formation. Physical settings of the tracts and most other areas...
Streamflow and sediment transport in the Quillayute River basin, Washington
L. M. Nelson
1982, Open-File Report 82-627
From October 1976 to September 1978 the U.S. Geological Survey made a reconnaissance evaluation of the fluvial-sediment transport and documented the natural streamflow characteristics in the Quillayute River basin in northwestern Washington. Most of the flow originates from the tributaries, the Soleduck, Bogachiel, and Calawah Rivers. Flow in the summer...
Water for western oil shale development: Potential local supplies
G.A. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-31
Commercial-scale development of western oil shale resources will require a supply of water for both extraction and reclamation purposes. This paper summarizes some of the information on the occurrence of potential local supplies of water in the Piceance Creek Basin-Uinta Basin areas of northwest Colorado and northeast Utah. The discussion...
Hydrology of potential mining areas in the Warrior coal field, Alabama
Celso Puente, J.G. Newton
1982, Open-File Report 82-105
Hydrologic data for four small basins and for numerous other sites in the Warrior coal field are used to define the potential impact of surface mining on water resources. Bear and Blue Creek basins are underlain predominantly by relatively impermeable consolidated rocks in the Pottsville Formation. Turkey and Yellow Creek...
An evaluation of Idaho stream-gaging networks
E.W. Quillian, W. A. Harenberg
1982, Open-File Report 82-865
Network Analysis for Regional Information (NARI) and the Cost-Effectiveness Procedure were tested by applying them to stream-gaging networks in Idaho. NARI was used to determine network design strategies that would maximize the value of additional data. Value of data was measured as the decrease in the probable true standards error...
Changes in flood response of the Red River of the North Basin, North Dakota-Minnesota
Jeffrey E. Miller, Dale L. Frink
1982, Open-File Report 82-774
The magnitude and frequency of large floods that have occurred in recent years in the basin of the Red River of the North have caused concern that land-use changes and manmade drainage have increased flooding. This study was undertaken to determine if any changes in flood response of the Red...
Documentation and user's guide for interactive spectral analysis and filter program package useful in the processing of seismic reflection data
J. J. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-744
The spectral analysis and filter program package is written in the BASIC language for the HP-9845T desktop computer. The program's main purpose is to perform spectral analyses on digitized time-domain data. In addition, band-pass filtering of the data can be performed in the time domain. Various other processes such as...
