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...
Ecological and physiological/toxicological effects of petroleum on aquatic birds: A summary of research activities FY76 through FY78
Lucille F. Stickel, Michael P. Dieter
1979, FWS/OBS 79/23
Oil and gas development and exploration in marine coastal areas and the Great Lakes will result in unavoidable spills of polluting oil. Although large oil spills may kill thousands of birds and stimulate much public concern, the bulk of oil that reaches aquatic environmentS released in the course of normal operations,...
Ground-water quality in the upper Santa Ana River basin, southern California
Lawrence A. Eccles
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-113
The principal ground-water quality problems in the Santa Ana River basin, as determined from two samplings (1968-69 and 1977-78), are high concentrations of dissolved solids in general and nitrate-nitrogen in particular. The distribution of dissolved solids exceeding 800 milligrams per liter was smaller in area in 1977-78 than in 1968-69....

George A. Dinwiddie
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-34
The Northern Great Plains, an area of about 250,000 square miles in parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming, is underlain by an accumulation of sediments eroded from the Black Hills and from mountains to the west. Principal aquifers are areally extensive beds of sandstone within these sedimentary...
Flood elevations for the Sooes River at proposed fish hatchery, Clallam County, Washington; a surface-water site study
J.H. Bartells
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-130
Water-surface elevations were derived for various combinations of selected river discharges and tide elevations along a reach of the Sooes River 3 miles upstream from the mouth at the site of a proposed fish hatchery in Clallam County, Washington. Flood-frequency analyses determined river discharges having exceedence probabilities of 1, 2,...
Formation and resulfidization of a South Texas roll-type uranium deposit

Unstable ground in western North Dakota
Donald E. Trimble
1979, Circular 798
Unstable ground in western North Dakota is mainly the result of mass-wasting processes. The units most affected are mudstones, siltstones, and sandstones of the Fort Union Formation. Ground instability generally is indicated by landslides, soil slides, or subsidence. Landslides are mostly of the slump-earthflow type and are localized along the...
Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
Harvey E. Jobson, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Open-File Report 79-270
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...
