Development of a technique for the rapid estimation of earthquake losses
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, M.B. McGrath, S.L. Hanson
1978, Open-File Report 78-440
A simple, general technique has been outlined for the rapid, approximate estimation of building losses resulting from ground shaking during earthquakes. The technique has been applied to the San Francisco Bay area. Ground shaking, ground failures of various kinds, surface faulting, tsunamis, and earthquake induced fires are all responsible for...
Selected hydrologic data, 1931-77, Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area, Utah

1978, Open-File Report 78-121
The Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area in east-central Utah includes a significant part of the State's coal resources and is currently (1977) the most active coal-mining area in the State.This report presents data gathered by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of a hydrologic reconnaissance carried out during the period...
Proposed parameters for an automated mapping satellite (Mapsat) system
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-932
Landsats-1, -2, and -3, although not defined as mapping satellites, are in fact effectively recording the Earth in a form suitable for presentation as small-scale image maps. These spacecraft have demonstrated the effectiveness of Earth sensing, which must now move from the research to the operational phase. Landsat-D is designed...

Water-quality assessment of the Middle Fork Anderson River watershed, Crawford and Perry counties, Indiana
Mark A. Ayers
1978, Open-File Report 78-71
Surface-water quality in the watershed is generally good except for problem-causing concentrations of bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus at some sites along the main stem during low flow and manganese at most sites year-round.Dissolved-solids concentration ranged from 76 to 248 milligrams per liter. Concentrations at sites upstream from reservoirs were...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the western part of the Salt River Valley area, Maricopa County, Arizona, 1977
P. P. Ross
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-40
In 1976 about 1.68 million acre-feet of ground water was pumped in the Salt River Valley. Since 1923, more than 73 million acre-feet has been withdrawn, which has resulted in a general decline in water levels. Water levels in the western part of the Salt River Valley area have declined...

1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-42
A map of the water table in Walworth County in southeastern Wisconsin was prepared using water levels from nearly 600 wells. The work was done as a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of Wisconsin-Extension, Geological and Natural History Survey, and the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission....
Geochemical maps showing the distribution and abundance of gold in stream sediments and of gold and silver in heavy-mineral concentrates in the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, Alaska
