Geology of the Arco-Big Southern Butte area, eastern Snake River Plain, and potential volcanic hazards to the radioactive waste management complex, and other waste storage and reactor facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
Mel A. Kuntz, John O. Kork
1978, Open-File Report 78-691
The Arco-Big Southern Butte area of the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho, includes a volcanic rift zone and more than 70 Holocene and late Quaternary basalt volcanoes. The Arco volcanic rift zone extends southeast for 50 km from Arco to about 10 km southeast of Big Southern Butte. The rift...
Linear ground-water flow, flood-wave response program for programmable calculators
John Michael Kernodle
1978, Open-File Report 78-356
Two programs are documented which solve a discretized analytical equation derived to determine head changes at a point in a one-dimensional ground-water flow system. The programs, written for programmable calculators, are in widely divergent but commonly encountered languages and serve to illustrate the adaptability of the linear model to use...
Eolian sand and interbedded organic horizons at Kealok Creek on the Arctic Coastal Plain of Alaska: possible regional implications
L. David Carter, S.W. Robinson
1978, Open-File Report 78-320
Eolian sand has long been recognized as a widespread but minor facies of supposedly dominantly marine sediments of the Gubik Formation of the Arctic Coastal Plain (Smith and Mertie, 1930; Black, 1951 and 1964; O'Sullivan, 1961). Descriptions of eolian landforms of the coastal plain have been published by several authors,...

Evaluation of hydrogeologic aspects of proposed salinity control in Paradox Valley, Colorado
Leonard F. Konikow, M. S. Bedinger
1978, Open-File Report 78-27
The salt load in the Dolores River increases by about 200,000 tons per year where it crosses Paradox Valley, Colorado, because of the discharge of a sodium chloride brine from an underlying aquifer. A ground-water management program to nearly eliminate this major source of salt, which eventually enters the Colorado...
U.S. Geological Survey marine geologic studies in the Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 1977; data type, location, and records obtained
Douglas K. Maurer, Peter W. Barnes, Erk Reimnitz
1978, Open-File Report 78-1066
Under the Bureau of Land Management, Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program in the Beaufort Sea, the U.S.G.S. vessel KARLUK ran approximately 1450 km of track line on the inner shelf of the Beaufort Sea from July to September, 1977. ...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the Willcox area, Cochise and Graham Counties, Arizona - 1975
Larry J. Mann, Natalie D. White, R. P. Wilson
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-60
The Willcox area includes about 1,500 square miles in southeastern Arizona. The main use of ground water is for irrigation. For 1954-75, the estimated ground-water pumpage exceeded 100,000 acre-feet per year, and for 1967-75, ground-water pumpage averaged about 300,000 acre-feet per year. Ground-water withdrawals have resulted in general water-level declines...
Potential hazards from future eruptions of Mount St. Helens Volcano, Washington
Dwight Raymond Crandell, Donal Ray Mullineaux
1978, Bulletin 1383-C
Mount St. Helens has been more active and more explosive during the last 4,500 years than any other volcano in the conterminous United States. Eruptions of that period repeatedly formed domes, large volumes of pumice, hot pyroclastic flows, and, during the last 2,500 years, lava flows. Some of this activity...
Geochemical map showing the distribution and abundance of copper in stream sediments in the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, Alaska
R. B. Tripp, W.D. Crim, E.F. Cooley, G.W. Day
1978, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 880-E
Reconnaissance geochemical and mineralogical sampling was done in the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles during 1975 and 1976 as part of the Alaska Mineral Resources Assessment Program (AMRAP). This map shows the distribution and abundance of copper in stream-sediment samples. Stream-sediment samples were collected at 569 sites from active stream channels...

Radioactive anomaly and mineralogy of the lower part of the Tabuk Formation, Al Qassim area, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
John J. Matzko, V. J. Flanigan, Mustafa Mawad, Ziad Al Kollak, M.I. Naqvi, Abdul Malik Helaby
1978, Open-File Report 78-520
A radioactive anomaly about 10 km long was detected by an airborne survey of the Tabuk Formation, about 75 km west-northwest of Buraydah in northeastern Saudi Arabia. The gamma-spectrometer anomaly is 6 to 10 times higher than background over the adjacent Precambrian shield area and indicates anomalous concentrations of thorium-bearing...

The proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) area includes about 18,960 acres in Tps. 22 and 23 S., Rs. 30 and 31 E., New Mexico Principal Meridian, Eddy County, southeastern New Mexico. It is located within the Carlsbad Mining District about 25 miles east of Carlsbad. The WIPP area is...

K-Ar geochronology of the Survey Pass, Ambler River and Eastern Baird Mountains quadrangles, southwestern Brooks Range, Alaska
Donald L. Turner, R. B. Forbes, C.F. Mayfield
1978, Open-File Report 78-254
We report 76 previously unpublished K-Ar mineral ages from 47 metamorphic and igneous rocks in the southwestern Brooks Range. The pattern of radiometric ages is complex, reflecting the complex geologic history of this area. Local and regional radiometric evidence suggests that the southern Brooks Range schist belt has, at least...
Ground-water resources of the Marine Corps Base, Twentynine Palms, San Bernardino County, California
Donald H. Schaefer
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-37
The Marine Corps Base, Twentynine Palms, Calif., pumped 2,600 acre-feet of water in 1975 from five supply wells in the Surprise Spring subbasin. The water levels in those wells declined an average of 35 feet in the preceding 10 years. This decline is a result of (1) the proximity of...
Radiometric results and areal distribution for granitic samples from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming
John S. Stuckless, Carl M. Bunker, George Van Trump, Charles A Bush
1978, Open-File Report 78-803
Analyses of surface samples from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming, generally agree with the findings from drilling at two different localities. The dominant Precambrian granitic rock type is the biotitic phase of the granite of Lankin Dome. This rock type is characterized by high potassium and anomalously high thorium concentrations, and...
