Electron-microprobe study of chromitites associated with alpine ultramafic complexes and some genetic implications
M. L. Bird
1978, Open-File Report 78-119
Electron-microprobe and petrographic studies of alpine chromite deposits from around the world demonstrate that they are bimodal with respect to the chromic oxide content of their chromite. The two modes occur at 54 ? 4 and 37 ? 3 weight per cent chromic oxide corresponding to chromite designated as high-chromium...

Discharge, gage height, and elevation of 100-year floods in the Hudson River basin, New York
Roger J. Archer
1978, Open-File Report 78-332
The flood discharge that may be expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average of once in 100 years (100-year flood) was computed by the log-Pearson Type-III frequency relation for 72 stations in the Hudson River basin. These discharges and, where available, their corresponding gage height and elevation above...
Summary of the geology and resources of uranium in the San Juan Basin and adjacent region, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado
Jennie L. Ridgley, M. W. Green, C. T. Pierson, W.I. Finch, R.D. Lupe
1978, Open-File Report 78-964
The San Juan Basin and adjacent region lie predominantly in the southeastern part of the uranium-rich Colorado Plateau of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Underlying the province are rocks of the Precambrian basement complex composed mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks; a thickness of about 3,600 meters of generally...

Bacteriological water quality of Tulpehocken Creek basin, Berks and Lebanon Counties, Pennsylvania
James L. Barker
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-53
A four month intensive study of the bacteriological quality of water in the Tulpehocken Creek basin indicates that (1) the streams locally contain high densities of bacteria indicative of fecal contamination, (2) nonpoint waste sources, particularly livestock, are the dominant influence in the excessive bacteriological-indicator counts observed, and (3) retention...
Hot, deep origin of petroleum: deep basin evidence and application
Leigh C. Price
1978, Open-File Report 78-1020
Use of the model of a hot deep origin of oil places rigid constraints on the migration and entrapment of crude oil. Specifically, oil originating from depth migrates vertically up faults and is emplaced in traps at shallower depths. Review of petroleum-producing basins worldwide shows oil occurrence in these basins...
A preliminary study of the Santa Barbara, California, earthquake of August 13, 1978, and its major aftershocks

1978, Circular 797
The ML5.1 Santa Barbara earthquake of August 13, 1978 occurred at lat 34' 22.2'N., long 119 ? 43.0' 4 km south of Santa Barbara, Calif. at a depth of 12.5 km in the northeast Santa Barbara Channel, part of the western Transverse Ranges geomorphic-structural province. This part of the province...
Interpretation of well logs in a carbonate aquifer
L.M. MacCary
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-88
This report describes the log analysis of the Randolph and Sabial core holes in the Edwards aquifer in Texas, with particular attention to the principles that can be applied generally to any carbonate system. The geologic and hydrologic data were obtained during the drilling of the two holes, from extensive...

Charles A. Pascale, Jeffrey R. Wagner, James E. Sohm
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-97
This report presents hydrologic, geologic, and water-quality data collected within the Ochlockonee River basin area, in the panhandle of northwest Florida. The data are presented in graphs and tables. Surface-water data include streamflow measurements and analyses of water collected at 58 sites; ground-water data include descriptions of 360 wells and...
Preferred and observed conditions for sockeye salmon in Ozette Lake and its tributaries, Clallam County, Washington
Gilbert C. Bortleson, N. P. Dion
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-64
Ozette River and Ozette Lake and its tributaries in Washington have many of the water-quality and stream-hydraulic characteristics that are generally supportive of good sockeye salmon production. Ozette Lake is a large, deep lake and a natural rearing area and for young sockeye. In the summer of 1976 water temperatures...

1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-99
Water-quality data are summarized for the upper Santa Clara River basin, California from studies beginning August 1974 through June 1976 and during past monitoring programs. Data were collected for nitrogen, phosphorus, total organic carbon, trace elements, detergents, and pesticide compounds. Because of the limited number of samples, the data are...

The U.S. Geological Survey was established as an agency in the Department of the Interior on March 3, 1879, 30 years to the day after establishment of the Department itself. The initial purpose of the Survey was to prepare a plan that would secure the best possible results at the...
Water-quality data from a sludge disposal test site, St. Petersburg, Florida, November 1973-July 1977
Mario Fernandez
1978, Open-File Report 78-821
From November 1973 to July 1977, water samples were collected from wells to identify background water-quality conditions and to determine the effects on ground-water quality by St. Petersburg 's sludge-disposal operation (sod farm). Specific conductance and pH were determined in the field. Samples were collected for laboratory determination of selected...
