Late Cenozoic deposits, landforms, stratigraphy, and tectonism in Kittitas Valley, Washington
Richard B. Waitt
1979, Professional Paper 1127
Kittitas Valley, a structurally determined wide segment of the Yakima River valley, is partly filled with the Pliocene Thorp Gravel and with Pleistocene till, outwash, and related sediment that accumulated during three glaciations. The Thorp Gravel, whose age according to fission-track dating is about 3.7 m.y., forms a conspicuous fill...

1979, Open-File Report 79-584
Previously unrecognized veins containing lead, zinc, and copper sulfide minerals at Point Delgada, Calif., are associated with late Mesozoic(?) and Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Franciscan assemblage. Sulfide minerals include pyrite, sphalerite, galena, and minor chalcopyrite, and galena-rich samples contain substantial amounts of silver. These minerals occur in...

In 1971 The Geysers-Clear Lake area was selected by the U.S. Geological Survey geothermal research program as a region for extensive investigation. Under this program thermal water samples were first collected in December, 1974 during a winter of normal rainfall; the last samples were collected in February, 1977 during a...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1168
A 1 year data-collection program on Columbia Glacier, Alaska has produced a data set consisting of near-surface ice kinematics, mass balance, and altitude change at 57 points and 34 ice radar soundings. These data presented in two tables, are part of the basic data required for glacier dynamic analysis, computer...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1139
During 1978 twenty dredge sites were occupied and successfully dredged from the R.V. S.P. LEE along the eastern Bering Sea continental margin (Fig. 1). A total of several tons of rock were collected using a chain-bag dredge. Samples were recovered in water depths ranging from 750 to 2,750 meters from...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1185
Crustal dynamics--the study of the movement of mass and energy within, into, and out of the Earth's crust--encompasses most efforts of earth science, either directly or as background and support. A new international program is being formulated to promote cooperative development of the concepts required to solve proliferating problems created...

Examples of deep-water-bottom multiple dereverberation techniques applied to seismic-reflection data from the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf
Steven D. Peterson, A. H. Balch, W.C. Patterson, D. J. Taylor
1979, Open-File Report 79-1572
Seismic-reflection data recorded in deep water over the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf are often dominated by multiply-reflected seismic energy. This energy reverberates between the surface of the water and the seafloor (or other strong reflectors), and makes portions of the seismic data completely useless. Several different data-processing techniques can be...
Fast-ice thickness and snow depth in relation to oil entrapment potential, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

1979, Open-File Report 79-539
In winter, the undersurface of the sea ice on shallow arctic shelves acts upon the sea bed directly by contact and indirectly by influencing currents and turbulence. The under-ice surface would serve as a trap for pollutants such as oil and gas released from the sea bed. A knowledge of...
