Water quality of Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oregon
Loren A. Wittenberg, Stuart W. McKenzie
1980, Open-File Report 80-158
Water-quality data identify surface-water-quality problems in Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oreg., where possible, their causes or sources. Irrigation and return-flow data show pastures are sources of fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria and sinks for suspended sediment and nitrite-plus-nitrate nitrogen. Bear Creek and its tributaries have dissolved oxygen and...

Seismic evidence for an extensive gas-bearing layer at shallow depth, offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Gary Wynn Boucher, Erk Reimnitz, Edward W. Kempema
1980, Open-File Report 80-809
High resolution seismic reflection data recorded offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were processed digitally to determine the reflectivity structure of the uppermost layers of the seafloor. A prominent reflector found at 27 m below the mudline (water depths 7-9 m) has a negative reflection coefficient greater than 0.5. The large...
