Evaluation of Landsat multispectral scanner images for mapping altered rocks in the East Tintic Mountains, Utah
Lawrence C. Rowan, Michael J. Abrams
1979, Open-File Report 78-736
The East Tintic Mountains, Utah consist of folded and faulted Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, which are partly covered by Tertiary volcanic rocks. Clastic rocks dominate the lower one-third of the Paleozoic section, whereas carbonate rocks with subordinate amounts of shale and elastic rocks predominate in the remainder. Some of the rocks,...
Geologic evaluation of major Landsat lineaments in Nevada and their relationship to ore districts
Lawrence C. Rowan, Pamela Heald Wetlaufer
1979, Open-File Report 79-544
Analysis of diverse geologic, geophysical, and geochemical data shows that eight major lineament systems delineated in Landsat images of Nevada are morphological and tonal expressions of substantially broader structural zones. Southern Nevada is dominated by the 175 km-wide northwest-trending Walker Lane, a 150 km-wide zone of east-trending lineament systems consisting...
The use of soil-gas helium concentrations for earthquake prediction: Studies of factors causing diurnal variation
G. Michael Reimer
1979, Open-File Report 79-1623
The diurnal variation in the soil-gas helium concentration was monitored at depths of 0.5-2 m. Barometric pressure, air temperature, wind speed, soil temperature, soil moisture, relative humidity, and precipitation were also monitored. The helium variation below a 1-m sampling depth usually did not exceed the analytical sensitivity limit of +10...
Ancient mines of the Farah Garan area, southwestern Saudi Arabia
C. W. Smith, H. Richard Blank
1979, Open-File Report 79-1659
Ancient miners, in quest of oxidized copper minerals, gold, silver, and possibly zinc, mined gossans to approximately 20 m depth in an area 1.1 by 0.5 km in extent at Farah Garan. The gossans, derived from sulfides, are ordinarily found at contacts between marble lenses and metavolcanic-metasedimentary rocks, but in...
Reconnaissance snow surveys of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, April 1977 and April-May 1978
Charles E. Sloan, Dennis Trabant, William Glude
1979, Open-File Report 79-1342
Reconnaissance snow surveys of the NPRA (National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska) were made in April 1977 and April-May 1978 to ascertain general snow characteristics and distribution patterns. Thirty-nine sites in 1977 and forty-one sites in 1978 were sampled to determine snow depth, density, structure, and snow-soil interface temperature. In addition,...
Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), Saudi Arabia; an introduction to the system and sample submittal manual, 1978
Lamont O. Wilch, L.D. North
1979, Open-File Report 79-591
The U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Mission has the responsibility for implementing a computer-based file known as the Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), which is principally a geochemical data bank or library. Geologic parameters are necessarily provided for, but are far from comprehensive; nevertheless, nine years of operation in the...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Silver Creek, Clark and Floyd counties, Indiana
William G. Wilber, Charles G. Crawford, James G. Peters
1979, Open-File Report 79-1253
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a State water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Silver Creek was used to develop alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for East Fork White River, Bartholomew County, Indiana
William G. Wilber, James G. Peters, Charles G. Crawford
1979, Open-File Report 79-1072
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a State water-quality management plan that includes the establishing of limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in East Fork White River was used to develop alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible...
Magnetometer traverse on Plum Island near Newburyport, Massachusetts
Robert W. Simpson, Wallace A. Bothner
1979, Open-File Report 79-435
Several large faults of regional tectonic significance circle around Boston and disappear offshore at Plum Island south of Newburyport, Massachusetts (Castle and others, 1976; Barosh and others, 1977). The traces of these faults are, in places, well defined by aeromagnetic anomalies (Harwood and Zietz, 1977), The purpose of this traverse...
Appraisal of ground water in the vicinity of the Leadville drainage tunnel, Lake County, Colorado
John T. Turk, O. James Taylor
1979, Open-File Report 79-1538
Ground water in the Leadville mining district occurs in granite, quartzite, limestone, sandstone, porphyry dikes, and unconsolidated material. These rocks form a single aquifer system because the formations are hydraulically connected through contact, mine workings, faulting, and fracturing. The aquifer is recharged by precipitation and water moves toward California Gulch...
