Virgin Islands sand resource study
Charles Ward Holmes
1978, Open-File Report 78-919
The depletion of sand resources in the Virgin Islands has necessitated the search for more economical supplies. The dynamic processes which produce sand in the nearshore environments are very slow, and removal of this material would cause a depletion of beaches upon which the island economy is predicated. A search...

Ground-water data on the Hudson River basin, New York
Deborah S. Hammond, Ralph C. Heath, Roger Milton Waller
1978, Open-File Report 78-710
Ground water in the Hudson River basin occurs in unconsolidated deposits and consolidated rock. Sand and gravel units of the unconsolidated deposits, which occur principally in valley bottoms, form the best aquifers and commonly provide well yields of several hundred gallons per minute. Carbonate aquifers are the most productive consolidated...

Overburden chemistry and mineralogy at Hanging Woman Creek, Big Horn County, Montana, and recommendations for sampling at similar sites
Todd K. Hinkley, Richard John Ebens, Josephine G. Boerngen
1978, Open-File Report 78-393
Cored overburden rock of the Fort Union Formation at the Hanging Woman Creek potential coal mine site was classified in hand specimen on the basis of color and grain size into 3 types: sandstone. siltstone-plus-shale, and dark shale. The samples were analyzed for bulk chemistry and mineralogy. In general the...

A seismic refraction experiment performed in the Melones Reservoir region of the metamorphic belt, central California
James N. Murdock, John C. Roller
1978, Open-File Report 78-131
A seismic refraction experiment was conducted in the metamorphic belt of central California during May 1972. Seven charges were fired during the experiment. Three seismic refraction lines, 75 to 125 km long, were made in the belt. Also, data were gathered for regional travel-time calibrations. The experimental data are presented....
FRISK: computer program for seismic risk analysis using faults as earthquake sources
Robin K. McGuire
1978, Open-File Report 78-1007
This computer program makes probabilistic seismic hazard calculations at sites affected by earthquakes occurring on faults which are defined by the user as a series of line segments. The length of rupture of the fault as a function of earthquake magnitude is accounted for, and ground motion estimates at the...

Correlations between seismic wave velocities and physical properties of near-surface geologic materials in the southern San Francisco Bay region, California
Thomas E. Fumal
1978, Open-File Report 78-1067
To identify geologic units with distinctly different seismic responses for the purposes of seismic zonation, compressional and shear wave velocities have been measured in boreholes at 59 sites in the San Francisco Bay region in a wide range of near-surface (0-30m) geologic materials. Several physical parameters, which can be readily...
