Assessment of geothermal resources of the United States: 1978
L.J. Patrick Muffler
1979, Circular 790
The geothermal resource assessment presented in this Circular is a refinement and updating of USGS Circular 726. Nonproprietary information available in June 1978 is used to assess geothermal energy in the ground and, when possible, to evaluate the fraction that might be recovered at the surface. Five categories of geothermal...
Status of surface-water modeling in the U.S. Geological Survey

1979, Circular 809
The U.S. Geological Survey is active in the development and use of models for the analysis of various types of surface-water problems. Types of problems for which models have been, or are being developed, include categories such as the following: (1)specialized hydraulics, (2)flow routing in streams, estuaries, lakes, and reservoirs,...
A methodology for post-EIS (environmental impact statement) monitoring
Linda Graves Marcus
1979, Circular 782
A methodology for monitoring the impacts predicted in environmental impact statements (EIS's) was developed using the EIS on phosphate development in southeastern Idaho as a case study. A monitoring system based on this methodology: (1) coordinates a comprehensive, intergovernmental monitoring effort; (2) documents the major impacts that result, thereby improving...

Geological studies of the COST GE-1 well, United States South Atlantic outer continental shelf area
Peter A. Scholle
1979, Circular 800
The COST No. GE-1 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled in the southern part of the U.S. Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (AOCS) area. The well was drilled within the Southeast Georgia Embayment to a total depth of 13,254 ft (4,040 m). It penetrated a section composed...
Initial report of the Petrophysics Laboratory
Graham R. Hunt, G. R. Johnson, G.R. Olhoeft, D.E. Watson
1979, Circular 789
Current national requirements for energy and mineral resources, and for protection of the quality of the environment, have focused attention on the need to develop new methods and interpretation techniques to be used in understanding geologic systems. Geophysical surveys play a significant role in acquiring this information, particularly by providing...

A synoptic approach for analyzing erosion as a guide to land-use planning
William M. Brown III, Walter G. Hines, David A. Rickert, Gary L. Beach
1979, Circular 715-L
A synoptic approach has been devised to delineate the relationships that exist' between physiographic factors, land-use activities, and resultant erosional problems. The approach involves the development of an erosional-depositional province map and a numerical impact matrix for rating the potential for erosional problems. The province map is prepared by collating...

1979, Circular 810
Approximately 24,000 measurements taken from 1900 to 1974 were analyzed by least-squares methods to produce a series of five magnetic charts of the United States for 1975. A feature of the analysis, differing from techniques used for previous editions of the national chart, is that analytic models define the regional...
