The first group of palynomorph (pollen, spores, dinoflagellates, acritarchs) and Foraminifera microscope slides prepared from test wells drilled during the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (N.P.R.A.) program and the earlier Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (N.P.R.-4) program are now being made available for examination. Jurisdiction of N.P.R.-4 was transferred from...
Water-resources data index for Osceola National Forest, Florida
Paul R. Seaber, Robert W. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-984
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted an intensive investigation from December 1975 to December 1977 of the geohydrology of Osceola National Forest. The primary purpose of that investigation was to provide the geohydrological understanding needed to predict the impact of potential phosphate industry operations in the forest on the natural hydrologic...
Susceptibility of the Memphis water supply to contamination from the pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee
Donald Robert Rima
1979, Open-File Report 79-750
Public concern has been expressed over the possiblity that leachates from a pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee, might eventually reach the Memphis area and endanger the city 's water supply. An examination of the possible pathways and means of transport of these contaminants reveals that, the Memphis...
Changes in channel characteristics, 1938-74, of the Homochitto River and tributaries, Mississippi
K. V. Wilson
1979, Open-File Report 79-554
Channel characteristics in the lower reaches of the Homochitto River in southwest Mississippi and some of its tributaries changed following the completion of cutoffs and channelization projects between 1938 and 1940. Channel degradation and accelerated bank sloughing began during the early 1940's in the vicinity of Doloroso, a short distance...
Discrimination of alteration in the Crooks Gap, Wyoming, uranium district using laboratory and Landsat spectral reflectance data
Timothy E. Townsend
1979, Open-File Report 79-765
The Crooks Gap area is a major uranium producing district in south-central Wyoming. Uranium occurs there as roll-type deposits in Tertiary sandstones. Alteration of the host sandstones related to the formation of the uranium deposits, is marked at the surface by a pronounced red coloration, which has long been used...

Knik Glacier, Alaska, May 1979 monument and glacier survey
Dennis C. Trabant, L.R. Mayo
1979, Open-File Report 80-48
From 1915, or earlier, to 1966, with the exception of 1963, Knik Glacier annually formed and released Lake George, the largest glacier-dammed lake in Alaska. Eleven geodetically controlled survey stations were defined in the basin, and 22 glacier surface altitudes were measured. This is the first effort in a continuing...
A continuous water sampling and multi-parameter measurement system for estuaries
Laurence E. Schemel, Lee A. Dedini
1979, Open-File Report 79-273
Salinity, temperature, light transmissivity, oxygen saturation, turbidity, pH, pCO2, and chlorophyll a fluorescence of a pumped water sample are continuously measured with a system designed primarily for estuarine studies. Near-surface water from a depth of 2 m is sampled continuously while the vessel is underway or water at depths to...

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...
Sediment transport in the Tanana River in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska, 1977-78
Robert L. Burrows, Bruce Parks, William W. Emmett
1979, Open-File Report 79-1539
Measurements of the sediment load of the Tanana River in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska, show that suspended-sediment transport rate in tons per day, relates to water discharge, in cubic feet per second, as: Suspended-sediment transport rate (tons/day) = 5.717 x 10 to the minus 8th power x water discharge...
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...
Particulate organic carbon in San Francisco Bay, California, 1971-1977
Laurence E. Schemel, Lee A. Dedini
1979, Open-File Report 79-512
The organic-carbon content of suspended particulate matter is determined by wet oxidation and analysis of the resulting CO2 with an infrared analyzer. Modifications of methods and improved designs of apparatus are presented.Results of particulate organic carbon (POC) analyses from 1971 through 1977 show that concentrations in North San Francisco Bay...

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...
