Uranium, thorium, and mercury distribution through the evolution of the McDermitt Caldera complex
James J. Rytuba, W.K. Conrad, Richard K. Glanzman
1979, Open-File Report 79-541
The McDermitt caldera complex developed over a period of 5 m.y. years during which ash-flow tuff sheets anomalous in mercury, uranium, and thorium were emplaced. The moat portions of the caldera complex were subsequently filled with tuffaceous sediments. Late in the caldera development near-surface intrusives and domes were emplaced along...

Technique for estimating depth of 100-year floods in New Jersey
A. J. Velnich, Stanley L. Laskowski
1979, Open-File Report 79-419
Techniques are developed for use in estimating 100-year flood depths on New Jersey streams. Equations and graphs are presented relating the 100-year flood depth above the mean annual flood to drainage area and area of lakes and swamps. Separate relations for the Coastal Plain and non-Coastal Plain streams in the...
Implications of evaporites in the Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician Notch Peak Formation, southern House Range, western Utah
Michael E. Taylor, Richard K. Glanzman
1979, Open-File Report 79-1428
This report describes a preliminary study of some evaporites that occur in the Upper Cambrian part of the Notch Peak Formation in the southern House Range of western Utah (Taylor and Glanzman, 1979). The occurrences of halite and gypsum were first reported by James F. Miller in a guidebook article...

Hydrometeorological model for streamflow prediction
Wendell V. Tangborn
1979, Open-File Report 79-741
The hydrometeorological model described in this manual was developed to predict seasonal streamflow from water in storage in a basin using streamflow and precipitation data. The model, as described, applies specifically to the Skokomish, Nisqually, and Cowlitz Rivers, in Washington State, and more generally to streams in other regions that...
Trace-element distribution around a South Texas roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-1375
The distribution of trace elements around a south Texas roll-type uranium deposit was examined using semiquantitative emission spectroscopic analytical data complemented by some quantitative data. The results suggest that of the 50 elements analyzed, only beryllium and possibly vanadium are enriched in the altered rock on the updip side of...
Interpretation of thermoluminescence patterns around a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-774
Thermoluminescence from quartz and feldspar grains in samples collected from the vicinity of a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit show an increase in the importance of high-temperature thermoluminescence relative to low-temperature thermoluminescence of samples which are believed to be former positions of the migrating mineralized front. This effect is believed to...

Preliminary analysis of clay gouge from a well in the San Andreas fault zone in central California
Richard Liechti, Mark D. Zoback
1979, Open-File Report 79-861
Drilling into the San Andreas fault zone has begun in central California as part of the U.S.G.S. program of fault zone studies. The purpose of drilling into the fault zone is threefold. First, it will allow recovery of material from depth in order to determine the composition of both solid...

Floodflow data that will provide a base for evaluating digital models relating to open-channel flow were obtained at 22 sites on streams in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Thirty-five floods were measured. Analysis of the data indicated methods currently in use would be inaccurate where densely vegetated flood plains are crossed...
