Selected hydrologic data, 1931-77, Wasatch Plateau-Book Cliffs coal-fields area, Utah
K.M. Waddell, H.L. Vickers, Robbin T. Upton, P. Kay Contratto
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...
Site evaluation for U.S. Bureau of Mines experimental oil-shale mine, Piceance Creek basin, Rio Blanco County, Colorado
John R. Ege, G.H. Leavesley, G.S. Steele, J.B. Weeks
1978, Open-File Report 78-390
The U.S. Geological Survey is cooperating with the U.S. Bureau of Mines in the selection of a site for a shaft and experimental mine to be constructed in the Piceance Creek basin, Rio Blanco County, Colo. The Piceance Creek basin, an asymmetric, northwest-trending large structural downwarp, is located approximately 40...
Technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods in St. Louis County, Missouri
Donald Webster Spencer, Terry W. Alexander
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-139
Equations and nomographs in.this report can be used to estimate peak flood-discharges having recurrence intervals up to 100 years in rural and urban areas of St. Louis County, Mo. The basin characteristics significant at the 5-percent probability level were drainage area and percentage imperviousness. Drainage area can be measured from...
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...
Hot, deep origin of petroleum: shelf and shallow basin evidence and application
Leigh C. Price
1978, Open-File Report 78-1021
Oil and gas pools in shallow basins or on the shallow, stable shelves of deeper sedimentary basins may not be exceptions to the model of a hot deep origin of petroleum. The oil in shallow basins is directly associated with faulting extending out of the deepest parts of the basin....
High resolution seismic profiles, side scan sonar records, and sampling locations from lower Cook Inlet and Kodiak Shelf, R/V SEA SOUNDER cruise S7-77-WG, September - October, 1977
Arnold H. Bouma, Monty A. Hampton
1978, Open-File Report 78-727
During the period from September 14 through October 10, 1977 the second U.S. Geological Survey geo-environmental cruise was conducted in lower Cook Inlet and on the Kodiak shelf and adjacent upper continental slope, Gulf of Alaska, aboard the R/V SEA SOUNDER (Figure 1, Tables 1, 2 and 3). The objective...
Comparison of the Wilfley concentration table and hand panning for concentration of heavy minerals prior to geochemical analysis
William R. Greenwood, M.E. Koesterer, Steve Ludington, Donald A. Risoli
1978, Open-File Report 78-712
Chemical analysis of heavy—mineral concentrates of stream sediments is a common geochemical exploration technique used by the U.S. Geological Survey. Generally these concentrates are prepared by hand panning at streamside or in a washtub and then further concentrated using heavy—liquid (bromoform) techniques in a laboratory. Concentration using heavy liquids is...
Exploration geophysics calculator programs for use on Hewlett-Packard models 67 and 97 programmable calculators
David L. Campbell, Raymond D. Watts
1978, Open-File Report 78-815
Program listing, instructions, and example problems are given for 12 programs for the interpretation of geophysical data, for use on Hewlett-Packard models 67 and 97 programmable hand-held calculators. These are (1) gravity anomaly over 2D prism with = 9 vertices--Talwani method; (2) magnetic anomaly (?T, ?V, or ?H) over 2D...
Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....
Nitrification in four acidic streams in southern New Jersey
James C. Schornick Jr., Neil M. Ram
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-121
Four characteristically acidic streams in southern New Jersey were investigated to determine the effect of secondary effluent on nitrification in the receiving waters. Chemical and microbiological data were obtained at four sites on each stream. From these data seven factors were evaluated to determine the proclivity of each stream to...
Estimated oil and gas reserves, Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf, January 1, 1977
Floyd T. Bryan, John H. Knipmeyer, E. Kenneth Schluntz
1978, Open-File Report 78-87
As of January 1, 1977, nearly 35 trillion cubic feet of gas and about 2.7 billion barrels of oil* are estimated to be the remaining reserves in 294 fields in the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf off Texas and Louisiana. Twenty-seven additional fields, discovered since January 1, 1976, in...
Hydrologic data for the Antlers aquifer, southeastern Oklahoma
Robert E. Davis, Donald L. Hart Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-1038
The U.S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies.The information in this report was obtained in the field, from published reports (Davis, 1960, Hart,...
A ground-water inventory of the Waialua basal-water body, Island of Oahu, Hawaii
Robert H. Dale
1978, Open-File Report 78-24
The Waialua basal-water body underlies an area of about 18 square miles on the north shore of the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The basal-water body is a body of fresh ground water that floats on saline ground water in a highly permeable and porous basaltic aquifer. Inflow to the basal-water...
