High rates of bedload transport measured from infilling rate of large strudelscour craters in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska
Erk Reimnitz, E. W. Kempema
1982, Open-File Report 82-588
Strudel scours are craters as much as 20 m wide and 4 m deep, that are excavated by vertical drainage flow during the yearly spring flooding of vast reaches of fast ice surrounding arctic deltas; they form at a rate of about 2.5 km^-2 yr^-1. Monitoring two such craters in...

January 1982 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
M.E. Pabst
1982, Open-File Report 82-649
Water-level measurements were made, mostly in January 1982, in about 1,530 wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are...

Analyzing thematic maps and mapping for accuracy
G.H. Rosenfield
1982, Open-File Report 82-239
Two problems which exist while attempting to test the accuracy of thematic maps and mapping are: (1) evaluating the accuracy of thematic content, and (2) evaluating the effects of the variables on thematic mapping. Statistical analysis techniques are applicable to both these problems and include techniques for sampling the data...

1982, Open-File Report 82-343
As part of the National Waste Terminal Storage Program, the U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a regional study of the geohydrology of the northern Louisiana salt-dome basin and developing a regional multi-layered ground-water flow model to determine regional flow paths. In the salt-dome basin the Tokio Formation and Brownstown Marl...
