Research and development program for outer continental shelf oil and gas operations, report for fiscal year 1978
John B. Gregory
1978, Open-File Report 78-902
This report summarizes the contract research program in support of the Geological Survey's Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas operations. The program is technological, though certain environmental investigations are being conducted as a necessary adjunct. The program manager provides a focal point for communicating with the research community in both...
Results and interpretation of exploratory drilling near the Picacho Fault, south-central Arizona
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-1016
Modern surface faulting along the Picacho fault, east of Picacho, Arizona, has been attributed to ground-water withdrawal. In September 1977, three exploratory test holes were drilled 5 km east of Picacho and across the Picacho fault to investigate subsurface conditions and the mechanism of the faulting. The holes were logged...
Summary of hydrologic data collected during 1976 in Dade County, Florida
John E. Hull
1978, Open-File Report 78-883
During 1976 rainfall was 1.58 inches below the long-term average. Ground-water levels ranged from 0.4 foot above to 0.5 foot below average. The highest and lowest ground water for the year were both 1 foot below their long-term averages. In the Hialeah-Miami Springs area, water levels in wells near the...

Effects of coal mine subsidence in the western Powder River basin, Wyoming
C. Richard Dunrud, Frank W. Osterwald
1978, Open-File Report 78-473
Analyses of the surface effects of past underground coal mining in the western Powder River Basin suggest that underground mining of strippable coal deposits will damage the environment more over long periods of time than will modern surface mining, provided proper restoration procedures are followed after surface mining. Subsidence depressions...
Geology of the uranium prospect at Camp Smith, New York, with a new model for the formation of uranium deposits in metamorphosed submarine volcanogenic rocks
Richard I. Grauch
1978, Open-File Report 78-949
Uraninite of Precambrian age occurs locally in and around a massive sulfide deposit at Camp Smith, Westchester and Putnam Counties, New York. The host rocks are believed to be part of a sequence of marine sediments and submarine volcanogenic rocks that were metamorphosed to leucogneisses, amphibolites, and amphoholite gneisses in...
Analyses of rock samples from the Hunt Fork Shale and related Upper Devonian rocks, Philip Smith Quadrangle, Arctic Alaska
J. Thomas Dutro, David E. Detra
1978, Open-File Report 78-559
More than 1400 m of fine-grained clastic rocks and reefoid limestones constitute the lower part of an Upper Devonian transgressive-regressive cycle in the central Brooks Range, Alaska (Dutro and others, 1977). The Hunt Fork Shale and an underlying heterogeneous unit (unnamed) were measured and sampled on the east side of...
A computer program for simulating salinity loads in streams
Kent C. Glover
1978, Open-File Report 78-884
A FORTRAN IV program that simulates salinity loads in streams is described. Daily values of stream-discharge in cubic feet per second, or stream-discharge and specific conductance in micromhos, are used to estimate daily loads in tons by one of five available methods. The loads are then summarized by computing either...

1978, IMAP 897
The Coprates quadrangle lies to the east of the Tharsis volcanic complex and the Noctis Labyrinthus tectonic complex. To the north are the plains of Lunae Planum, to the east the vast patches of chaotic terrain and the large sinuous channels that trend northward to the Chryse Planitia. On...

Reconstruction of crustal blocks of California on the basis of initial strontium isotopic compositions of Mesozoic granitic rocks
Ronald Wayne Kistler, Zell E. Peterman
1978, Professional Paper 1071
Initial 87Sr/ 86 Sr was determined for samples of Mesozoic granitic rocks in the vicinity of the Garlock fault zone in California. These data along with similar data from the Sierra Nevada and along the San Andreas fault system permit a reconstruction of basement rocks offset by the Cenozoic lateral...

1978, Open-File Report 78-269
In the absence of specific criteria, the topography, geomorphology, and geology of Jackass Flats and vicinity in the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site are evaluated by arbitrary guidelines for a Spent Unreprocessed Fuel Facility. The guidelines include requirements for surface slopes of less than 5 percent, 61 m...
Postulated model of uranium occurrence in the central mining area, Marysvale District, west-central Utah
Charles G. Cunningham, Thomas August Steven
1978, Open-File Report 78-1093
Uranium in the central mining area of Marysvale, Utah occurs in hydrothermal veins cutting granitic and volcanic rocks in the eastern source area of the Mount Belknap Volcanics. A preliminary model for the origin of the veins envisages deposition in near-surface fractures above an unexposed pluton that may host a...
An empirical equation with tables of smoothed solubilities of methane in water and aqueous sodium chloride solutions up to 25 weight percent, 360 degrees C, and 138 MPa

The total pressure for the system H2O-CH 4 is given by p(total) = P(H2O,t) + exp10[log x(CH 4) - a - b x(CH4)], where P(H2O,t) is the vapor pressure of H2O liquid at the temperature t (?C) and x(CH 4) is the molal concentration of methane in the solution. The...
