Isolation of uranium mill tailings and their component radionuclides from the biosphere; some earth science perspectives
Edward Landa
1980, Circular 814
Uranium mining and milling is an expanding activity in the. Western United States. Although the milling process yields a uranium concentrate, the large volume of tailings remaining contains about 85 percent of the radioactivity originally associated with the ore. By virtue of the physical and chemical processing of the ore...
Rubidium-strontium geochronology and plate-tectonic evolution of the southern part of the Arabian Shield
Robert J. Fleck, W.R. Greenwood, D.G. Hadley, R.E. Anderson, D. L. Schmidt
1980, Professional Paper 1131
Rubidium-strontium studies of Precambrian volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Arabian Shield document an early development of the Arabian craton between 900 and 680 m.y. (million years) ago. Geologic studies indicate an island-arc environment characterized by andesitic (dioritic) magmas, volcaniclastic sedimentation, rapid deposition, and contemporaneous deformation along north or northwest-trending...
A review and evaluation of alternatives for updating U.S. Geological Survey land use and land cover maps
Valerie A. Milazzo
1980, Circular 826
Since 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey has been engaged in a nationwide program of baseline mapping of land use and land cover and associated data at a scale of 1:250,000. As l:100,000-scale bases have become available, they have been used for mapping certain areas and for special applications. These two...
Lunar remote sensing and measurements
H. J. Moore, J. M. Boyce, G. G. Schaber, D. H. Scott
1980, Professional Paper 1046-B
Remote sensing and measurements of the Moon from Apollo orbiting spacecraft and Earth form a basis for extrapolation of Apollo surface data to regions of the Moon where manned and unmanned spacecraft have not been and may be used to discover target regions for future lunar exploration which will produce...
Report of the annual yield of the Arkansas River basin for the Arkansas River Basin Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, 1979 water-year
G. Louis Ducret
1980, Open-File Report 80-333
The computed annual yields for subbasins in the Arkansas River basin as defined in the Arkansas River Basin Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, 1972, are presented in this report. The area bounded by the Compact is shown in figure 1.This report was prepared by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey...
Hydrogeochemistry and simulated solute transport, Piceance Basin, northwestern Colorado
Stanley G. Robson, George J. Saulnier
1980, Open-File Report 80-72
Oil-shale mining activities in Piceance basin in northwestern Colorado could adversely affect the ground- and surface-water quality in the basin. This study of the hydrology and geochemistry of the area used groundwater solute-transport-modeling techniques to investigate the possible impact of the mines on water quality. Maps of the extent and...

Borehole geophysical measurements for hole UE25-3, Nevada Test Site, Nuclear Waste Isolation Program
Jeffrey J. Daniels, James H. Scott
1980, Open-File Report 80-126
Borehole geophysical measurements made in drill hole UE25a-3 with a U.S. Geological Survey research well-logging truck are presented in this paper. The purpose of these logging measurements is to provide in-situ physical properties information that is not commercially available on drill hole UE25a-3. Well logs are presented in this paper...
Hydrogeologic data for selected coal areas, east-central Montana
Robert S. Roberts
1980, Open-File Report 80-329
Hydrogeologic data were collected in selected coal areas of east-central Montana to provide a basis for evaluating the effects of future coal development on the groundwater resources. Inventory records for 916 domestic, stock, public supply, commercial, and test wells are tabulated in the report; the data were collected principally from...
Seismic-reflection data on the eastern U.S. continental shelf acquired by M. V. L'OLONNOIS as part of the Atlantic Margin Coring Project (AMCOR) of the U.S. Geological Survey, July-September 1976
James M. Robb
1980, Open-File Report 80-369
In 1976 the U.S. Geological Survey undertook a program to sample the eastern United States Shelf for stratigraphic information by drilling a set of core holes. Results of this Atlantic Margin Coring Program (AMCOR) have been reported by Hathaway and others. Sites were chosen from seismic-reflection data and were reviewed...
Evaluation of water resources in the Reedsport area, Oregon
Joseph F. Rinella, F. J. Frank, A.R. Leonard
1980, Open-File Report 80-444
The water supply for the Reedsport area is obtained from Clear Lake, a 310-acre coastal lake that contains 16, 600 acre-feet of water at full-pool. The lake receives about 6,000 acre-feet of water annually from runoff and direct precipitation, and it loses about 600 acre-feet by evaporation. The 2,100 acre-feet...

1980, Open-File Report 80-448
Use of previously codes and tested subroutines simplifies and speeds up program development and testing. This report presents routines that can be used to calculate various probability distributions and other functions of importance in statistical hydrology. The routines are designed as general-purpose Fortran subroutines and functions to be called from...
