Interactive computer methods for generating mineral-resource maps
James Alfred Calkins, A.S. Crosby, T.E. Huffman, A. L. Clark, G.T. Mason, R.J. Bascle
1980, Circular 815
Inasmuch as maps are a basic tool of geologists, the U.S. Geological Survey's CRIB (Computerized Resources Information Bank) was constructed so that the data it contains can be used to generate mineral-resource maps. However, by the standard methods used-batch processing and off-line plotting-the production of a finished map commonly takes...

On September 23, 1977, the U.S. Department of the Interior announced the tentative selection of 136 tracts for Sale No. 49 of oil and gas leases in the Baltimore Canyon Trough on the U.S. Atlantic Continental Shelf and Slope. This report summarizes the geology and petroleum potential of the area....
Summary of the river-quality assessment of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
R.N. Cherry, R.E. Faye, J. K. Stamer, R.L. Kleckner
1980, Circular 811
The river-quality assessment of the Upper Chattahoochee River Basin included studies of (1) the impact of heat loads on river quality, (2) sediment transport and deposition, (3) magnitude and nature of point and nonpoint discharges, and (4) phytoplankton growth in the river and reservoirs. The combined thermal effects of flow...
Thorium resources of selected regions in the United States
Mortimer Hay Staatz, R.B. Hall, D. L. Macke, T.J. Armbrustmacher, I. K. Brownfield
1980, Circular 824
Thorium resources have been assessed in a previous report entitled 'Principal thorium resources in the United States' (Staatz and others, 1979) for (1) veins in the larger districts, {2) massive carbonatites, {3) disseminated deposits, and {4) stream placers of North and South Carolina. This report is a sequel to that...

Geological studies of the COST No. B-3 well, United States mid-Atlantic continental slope area
Peter A. Scholle
1980, Circular 833
The COST No. B-3 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled on the Continental Slope off the Eastern United States. The well was drilled in 2,686 ft (819 m) of water in the Baltimore Canyon trough area to a total depth of 15,820 ft (4,844 m) below...
The U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska 1980 programs

1980, Circular 823-A
This circular describes the 1980 programs of the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska. A brief description of the Alaskan operations of each major division of the Survey is followed by project descriptions arranged by geographic regions in which the work takes place. The mission of the Geological Survey is to...

Evaluation of planning alternatives for maintaining desirable dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the Willamette River, Oregon
David A. Rickert, F. A. Rinella, W. G. Hines, S. W. McKenzie
1980, Circular 715-K
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...

Type curves for selected problems of flow to wells in confined aquifers
J.E. Reed
1980, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-B3
This report presents type curves and related material for 11 conditions of flow to wells m confined aquifers. These solutions, compiled from hydrologic literature, span an interval of time from Theis (1935) to Papadopulos, Bredehoeft, and Cooper (1973). Solutions are presented for constant discharge, constant drawdown, and variable discharge for pumping wells that fully penetrate leaky...

The handling, hazards, and maintenance of heavy liquids in the geologic laboratory
Phoebe L. Hauff, Joseph Airey
1980, Circular 827
In geologic laboratories the organic heavy liquids bromoform, methylene iodide, tetrabromoethane, and clerici compounds have been used for years in mineral separation processes. Because the volume of use of these compounds is low, insufficient data is available on their toxic properties. This report is an attempt to summarize the known...

Estimating the costs of landslide damage in the United States
Robert W. Fleming, Fred A. Taylor
1980, Circular 832
Landslide damages are one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States. A recent estimate of the total annual cost of landslide damage is in excess of $1 billion {Schuster, 1978}. The damages can be significantly reduced, however, through the combined action of technical experts, government, and the...
