Preliminary catalog of earthquakes in northern Imperial Valley, California, January 1978-March 1978
Gary S. Fuis, C.E. Johnson, D.J. Jenkins
1978, Open-File Report 78-671
The northern section of the Imperial Valley region in southern California is an area of known geothermal resources and an area of high seismicity. To study in detail the relationship between geothermal areas and earthquakes, the U.S. Geological Survey has been monitoring seismicity in the Imperial Valley with a 16-station...
Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abdulaziz Y. Bagdady, Jesse William Whitlow, Ralph Jackson Roberts
1978, Open-File Report 78-1074
Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district were productive during ancient times, possibly during two periods, about 950 B.C. and 750— 1258 A.D. These deposits were mapped and systematically sampled in 1973 to determine their future potential. The sampling program was facilitated by use of a backhoe which...

Seismic model study of Patrick Draw field, Wyoming: a stratigraphic trap in the Upper Cretaceous Almond Formation
Robert C. Anderson, Robert T. Ryder
1978, Open-File Report 78-496
The Patrick Draw field, located on the eastern flank of the Rock Springs uplift in the Washakie basin of southwestern Wyoming, was discovered in 1959 without the use of geophysical methods. The field is a classic example of a stratigraphic trap, where Upper Cretaceous porous sandstone units pinch out on...
Determination of peak discharge from rainfall data for urbanized basins, Wichita, Kansas
C.O. Peek, P. R. Jordan
1978, Open-File Report 78-974
Rainfall and runoff data from urbanized drainage basins in the Wichita area, Kansas, were used to evaluate the Soil Conservation Service synthetichydrograph method of computing flood hydrographsfrom rainfall data. The method was tested on six basins where the impervious surface ranged from 11 percent on the least urbanized basin to...

Principal facts for a gravity survey of the Double Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area, Humboldt County, Nevada
Donald L. Peterson, Harold E. Kaufmann
1978, Open-File Report 78-107-A
During July 1977, forty-nine gravity stations were obtained in the Double Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area and vicinity, northwestern Nevada. Elevations for twenty-two stations were estimated from lake bed topographic contours. Horizontal positions for these stations were determined from topographic maps and vehicle odometer. Elevations for stations DBLD34 and...
Interpretation of electromagnetic extra-low-frequency soundings in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area
Walter L. Anderson
1978, Open-File Report 78-562
An electromagnetic (EM) controlled source survey was made during the period Nov. 30, 1977, to Dec. 13, 1977, in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area (KGRA). This report summarizes the observed extra-low-frequency (ELF) data and least squares interpretation using a computer program developed by Anderson (1977). The results are...

Water budget and water-surface fluctuations, Great Salt Lake, Utah
Ted Arnow
1978, Open-File Report 78-912
The water-budget equation for Great Salt Lakes is: Inflow = Outflow + or - Storage change. The average annual inflow for the period 1931-76 was about 2.9 million acre-feet; 1.9 million acre-feet from surface sources, about 900,000 acre-feet from direct precipitation, and about 75,000 acre-feet from ground water. The average...
