Luminescence images of the Patrick Draw geosat petroleum test site, Wyoming
Robert Watson
1981, Open-File Report 81-606
In collaboration with the Geosat committee remote sensing test site program, luminescence images were acquired of parts of the Patrick Draw-Brady oil and gas test site in Wyoming. The Fraunhofer line discriminator was operated at 486.1 nanometer, 589.0 nanometer, and 656.3 nanometer Fraunhofer lines. Most of the luminescence highs occur...

Floodflow characteristics related to channel geometry in Ohio
E.E. Webber, J.W. Roberts
1981, Open-File Report 81-1105
Techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges, based on channel geometry parameters, are presented as a method for evaluating Ohio floods in geographic areas deficient in flow data. One hundred and sixty gaging stations were selected on streams with alluvial channels unaltered by man. Exposed bedrock is absent...

The hydrothermal system in southern Grass Valley, Pershing County, Nevada
Alan H. Welch, M.L. Sorey, F. H. Olmsted
1981, Open-File Report 81-915
Southern Grass Valley is typical extensional basin in the Basin and Range province. Leach Hot Springs, in the southern part of the valley, represents the discharge end of an active hydrothermal flow system with an estimated deep aquifer temperature of 163-173C. This report discusses results of geologic, hydrologic, geophysical and...

Time-of-travel study in the Sebasticook River basin, Maine
Gene W. Parker
1981, Open-File Report 81-545
Time of travel was determined for four reaches of the Sebasticook River, two on the East Branch Sebasticook River, and two on the main stem of the Sebasticook River. Reach A included 7.8 miles of the East Branch Sebasticook River from Dexter to Corinna, Maine. Reach B included 8 miles...

High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles from the Duxbury, Massachusetts, area
Kenneth F. Parolski
1981, Open-File Report 81-358
In August 1980, The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a seismic study (fig. 1) of the harbor and nearshore waters of Duxbury, Massachusetts, aboard the 38' research vessel R/V NEECHO. In all, 18.5 kilometers of high-resolution seismic profiles and sidescan-sonar data were obtained.The systems used included an 80-J minisparker and an...

Revised techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Montana
Charles Parrett, R. J. Omang
1981, Open-File Report 81-917
Relations for estimating the flood magnitudes for ungaged sites in Montana have been updated. The State was divided into eight regions and separate multiple-regression equations for each region were developed that relate logarithms of annual flood magnitude to logarithms of basin characteristics for exceedance probabilities of 50, 20, 10, 4,...

The Matanuska-Susitna Borough anticipates industrial development near Point MacKenzie, Alaska. Because little hydrologic information is available for the area, the Borough contracted for the drilling of two test wells. It was found that: Both wells penetrated unconsolidated stratified clay, silt, sand, and gravel; each well penetrated a shallow unconfined and...
