Wayne G. Rohde, Jinn Kai Lo, Russell A. Pohl
1978, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (4) 63-76
The US Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC) is experimenting with the production of digitally enhanced Landsat imagery. Advanced digital image processing techniques are used to perform geometric and radiometric corrections and to perform contrast and edge enhancements. The enhanced image product is produced from digitally preprocessed Landsat computer compatible...
Use of a remote computer terminal during field checking of Landsat digital maps
Charles J. Robinove, C.F. Hutchinson
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 511-514
Field checking of small-scale land classification maps made digitally from Landsat data is facilitated by use of a remote portable teletypewriter terminal linked by teleplume to the IDIMS (Interactive Digital Image Manipulation System) at the EDC (EROS Data Center), Sioux Falls, S. Dak. When field checking of maps 20 miles...
The metallogenic role of east-west fracture zones in South America with regard to the motion of lithospheric plates (with an example from Brazil)
J. Kutina, William D. Carter, F.X. Lopez
1978, Jornal de Mineralogia (7) 97-110
The role of east-west fracture zones in South America is discussed with regard to global fracturing and the motion of lithospheric plates. A set of major NW-trending lineaments has been derived which show a tendency to be spaced equidistantly and may correspond to a set of east-west fractures in the...
Tectolinear interpretation of a 1:5,000,000 Landsat-1 mosaic compared with the structure of central and eastern United States
Jan Kutina, William D. Carter
1978, Global Tectonics and Metallogeny (1) 78-82
The pattern of lineaments and curvilinear features interpreted from a 1:5,000,000 mosaic of satellite images (Landsat-1 was superimposed on a simplified version of the Geological Map of the United States, 1:2,500,000 scale, showing the structural scheme of Central and Eastern United States. A comparison of the above two patterns, shown...
Hydrological applications of Landsat imagery used in the study of the 1973 Indus River flood, Pakistan
Morris Deutsch, F.H. Ruggles Jr.
1978, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (14) 261-274
During August and September 1973, the Indus River Valley of Pakistan experienced one of the largest floods on record, resulting in damages to homes, businesses, public works, and crops amounting to millions of rupees. Tremendous areas of lowlands were inundated along the Indus River and major tributaries. Landsat data made...
Flood damage assessment using computer-assisted analysis of color infrared photography
William H. Anderson
1978, Journal of Soil and Water Conservation (33) 283-286
Use of digitized aerial photographs for flood damage assessment in agriculture is new and largely untested. However, under flooding circumstances similar to the 1975 Red River Valley flood, computer-assisted techniques can be extremely useful, especially if detailed crop damage estimates are needed within a relatively short period of time.Airphoto interpretation...

Simulation model of Cryptomonas ovata population dynamics in southern Kootenay Lake, British Columbia
James E. Cloern
1978, Ecological Modelling (4)-133
A one-dimensional transient model is developed to simulate observed population dynamics of a small flagellate (Cryptomonas ovata) in southern Kootenay Lake, B.C., during a 1-year period (1 June 1974-31 May 1975). The model considers advective displacement of C. ovata as water flows from its southern entrance into the lake and moves northward...
A selected bibliography: Remote sensing applications in land-use and land-cover inventory tasks
William J. Todd
1978, Report
The bibliography contains more than 300 citations of selected publications on the application of remote-sensing techniques to regional and metropolitan land-use and land-cover inventroy and analysis tasks. Most of the citations were published between January 1968 and June 1977, although some earlier works of continuing interest are included....
Manual on characteristics of Landsat computer-compatible tapes produced by the EROS Data Center digital image processing system
Patrick F. Holkenbrink (compiler)
1978, Report
Landsat data are received by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) tracking stations and converted into digital form on high-density tapes (HDTs) by the Image Processing Facility (IPF) at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), Greenbelt, Maryland. The HDTs are shipped to the EROS Data Center (EDC) where they are...
Water-resources setting, Martin County, Florida
R. Adam Miller
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-68
This report describes some basic principles of hydrology as they apply to Martin County, Florida. The major land features are described first, then the hydrologic cycle and surface-water and ground-water resource. Specific problems associated with population growth and the county 's development, such as saltwater intrusion and water use, are...
Digital and photographic processing study for shallow seas mapping from landsat
Brian P. Bauer, Lincoln Perry
1978, Report
The application of contrast stretch and haze removal techniques to Landsat/MSS imagery for shallow seas bathymetry is discussed. The application of these techniques is based upon procedures inherent in the EDIPS system processing. Application of both MSS band 4 and band 5 data are discussed in lx and 3x gain...

The Calvert and Choptank Formations exposed along the west shore of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland have been correlated with strata of early and middle Miocene age. The stratigraphic ranges of marine diatom marker species indicate a distinct diatom sequence in the deposits. A few diatoms that mark deep-sea Miocene deposits...
