This report, in three volumes, contains records for water discharge at...
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...
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...

The subsurface geology of the Florida-Hatteras shelf, slope, and inner Blake Plateau
Charles K. Paull, William P. Dillon
1979, Open-File Report 79-448
The structure and stratigraphy of the Florida-Hatteras Slope and inner Blake Plateau was studied by means of 4,780 km of single-channel air gun seismic reflection profiles. Control for the seismic stratigraphy is provided by correlating reflecting units and paleontologically dated stratigraphic units identified in offshore wells and dredge hauls. Many...
Potential hydrologic effects of peat mining in the Red Lake Peatlands, north-central Minnesota— A project plan
Donald I. Siegel
1979, Open-File Report 79-1591
Peat is being considered for fuel in Minnesota. This study will investigate the potential effects of large-scale surface mining of peat on the hydrology and water quality of Upper Red Lake and the Tamarac River. The major aspects of the study are the characterization of the surface-water and groundwater hydrology...

Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: November 1979
J.B. Townshend, J.E. Papp, E.A. Sauter, S.P. Tilton
1979, Open-File Report 79-300-K
The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory;...
Reconnaissance of potential for potable ground-water supply at Kipahulu District, Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii
Ronald L. Soroos
1979, Open-File Report 79-749
Kipahulu Valley drains an area of 12.7 square miles on the southeast side of the island of Maui, Hawaii. The aquifer underlying the lower reaches of the valley comprises recent lava flows. Fresh groundwater occurs in the aquifer as a thin basal lens, which discharges as diffuse seeps along the...

Discharge characteristics of triangular-notch thin-plate weirs
John Shen
1979, Open-File Report 79-1476
The triangular-notch, thin-plate weir is a convenient, inexpensive, and relatively precise flow-measuring instrument. It is frequently used to measure the flow of water in laboratories and in small, natural streams. The purpose of this report is to present a comprehensive analysis of the discharge characteristics of triangular-notch weirs. Previously-published data...

Upper Cretaceous tectonic activity on lineaments in western South Dakota
George W. Shurr
1979, Open-File Report 79-1374
Lineaments mapped on satellite images in western South Dakota define a geometry of basement blocks, and paleotectonic activity on these lineament-bound blocks is recorded in sedimentary rocks. Mapping on seven Landsat images in an area of about 100,000 km2 reveals that lineaments are best developed along azimuths of N. 60°...
