Estimation of ground motion parameters
David M. Boore, W. B. Joyner, A.A. Oliver, R.A. Page
1978, Circular 795
Strong motion data from western North America for earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5 are examined to provide the basis for estimating peak acceleration, velocity, displacement, and duration as a function of distance for three magnitude classes. A subset of the data (from the San Fernando earthquake) is used to...
Hydrologic monitoring of a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida, March 1970 - March 1977
Charles A. Pascale, J.B. Martin
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-27
This report presents hydraulic and chemical data collected at a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida. Since injection began in July 1963, about 13.3 billion gallons of industrial acidic waste containing nitric acid, inorganic salts and numerous organic compounds have been injected into a saline-water-filled limestone aquifer. Wellhead pressure at...
Flood profiles for Cypress Creek, west-central Florida
W. R. Murphy Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-8
Flood profiles are included for selected recurrence-interval floods in west-central Florida for a 27-mile reach of Cypress Creek, for a 4-mile tributary reach, and for a 1.2-mile distributary reach. The procedure for constructing flood profiles is based on flood heights computed in a step-backwater analysis using the following data: 2-,...
Flood profiles for Peace River, south-central Florida
W. R. Murphy Jr., K.M. Hammett, C. V. Reeter
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-57
This report presents flood heights and profiles for a 70-mile reach of Peace River from Bartow to Arcadia, Fla. The flood heights were calculated using the U.S. Geological Survey step-backwater model. Profiles were prepared for floods having expected recurrence intervals of 2, 2.33, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200, and...
Computer model of two-dimensional solute transport and dispersion in ground water
Leonard F. Konikow, J.D. Bredehoeft
1978, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 07-C2
This report presents a model that simulates solute transport in flowing ground water. The model is both general and flexible in that it can be applied to a wide range of problem types. It is applicable to one- or two-dimensional problems involving steady-state or transient flow. The model computes changes...
Reconnaissance investigation of high-calcium marble in the Beaver Creek area, St. Lawrence County, New York
C. Ervin Brown
1978, Circular 774
Three belts of marble of the Grenville Series were mapped in the Beaver Creek drainage basin, St. Lawrence County, N.Y. One of these, on the west side of Beaver Creek, consists of coarsely crystalline pure calcitic marble that occurs in a zone at least 10 by 0.8 km in extent....
A geological and geochemical reconnaissance of the Tathlith one-degree quadrangle, sheet 19/43, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
William C. Overstreet
1978, Open-File Report 78-1072
The Tathlith one-degree quadrangle occupies an area of 11,620 sq km in the northeastern Asir region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in the southeastern part of the Precambrian shield. In the eastern part of the quadrangle the Precambrian rocks are covered by exposures of easterly-dipping sandstone of Cambrian or...
Sediment transport by the White River into Mud Mountain Reservoir: Washington, June 1974-June 1976
Leonard M. Nelson
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-133
This reconnaissance evaluation of the sediment transport by the White River into the Mud Mountain Reservoir, in Washington, during the period June 1974-June 1976 showed that the river transported 430,000 tons of suspended sediment into the reservoir during the first year of the study and 1,400,000 tons in the second...
Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Freddy E. Arteaga, Timothy J. Durbin
1978, Open-File Report 79-261
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas.The steady-state pumping rate from the...
Isotopic and chemical data from carbonate cements in surface rocks over and near four Oklahoma oil fields
Mitchell E. Henry, Terrence J. Donovan
1978, Open-File Report 78-927
Carbonate cements in outcropping sandstones overlying the Doyle, Fox-Graham, Velma, and part of Wheeler oil fields, Oklahoma, were analyzed for their C13/ 12, 018/016, iron, and manganese compositions. The peculiar areal distribution of the values obtained is interpreted to be the direct result of hydrocarbon microseepage....
