Volcanic hazards on the Island of Hawaii
Donal Ray Mullineaux, Donald W. Peterson
1974, Open-File Report 74-239
Volcanic hazards on the Island of Hawaii have been determined to be chiefly products of eruptions: lava flows, falling fragments, gases, and particle-and-gas clouds. Falling fragments and particle-and-gas clouds can be substantial hazards to life, but they are relatively rare. Lava flows are the chief hazard to property; they are...
Water-resources data collected in the Devils Hole area, Nevada, 1973-74
J. D. Larson
1974, Open-File Report 74-330
The U.S. Geological Survey collected water-level, spring-flow, and power-consumption data in the Devils Hole area from July 1973 through June 1974. The work for this second annual data report was financed by the National Park Service. The work for the first annual, report (Larson, 1974) was financed jointly by the...
Proposed hydrologic analyses of streamflow for Brazil
Henry Chiles Riggs
1974, Open-File Report 74-328
The objective of my assignment was to recommend what hydrologic analyses might be made using the records of stream discharge soon to be available at the gaging stations in Brazil. To attain this objective I (1) examined the streamflow records in part of the Rio Jacui basin in the state...
Effects of local geology on ground motion in the San Francisco Bay region, California: A continued study
James F. Gibbs, Roger D. Borcherdt
1974, Open-File Report 74-222
Measurements of ground motion generated by nuclear explosions in Nevada have been completed for 99 locations in the San Francisco Bay region, California. The seismograms, Fourier amplitude spectra, spectral amplification curves for the signal, and the Fourier amplitude spectra of the seismic noise are presented for 60 locations. Analog amplifications,...
The Sahelian Zone Remote Sensing Seminar/Workshop at Bamako, Mali, West Africa, April 17-28, 1973
Maurice J. Grolier, Raymond W. Fary, Stephen J. Gawarecki
1974, Open-File Report 74-196
The Sahelian Zone Remote Sensing Seminar/Workshop held in Bamako, Mali, April 17-28, 1973. The Government of Mali was host. The Agency for International Development sponsored and funded, and the U. S. Geological Survey prepared and presented the program. Thirteen countries and seven commissions were invited. Thirty-five scientists and management personnel...
Time-dependent spectral analysis of thirty-one strong-motion earthquake records
Virgilio Perez
1974, Open-File Report 74-48
Velocity response spectral analysis as a function of time for 5 percent critical damping is presented for the horizontal components of thirty-one earthquake records (61 components). A nomograph that allows conversion of the velocity response envelope to a displacement response envelope and a pseudo-absolute acceleration response envelope spectrum is also...
Summary of hydrologic conditions and effects of Walt Disney World development in the Reedy Creek Improvement District, 1966-73
Arthur L. Putnam
1974, Open-File Report 74-339
The Reedy Creek Improvement District (hereinafter called the RCID) is an area of about 43 square miles (111. square kilometres) in southwest Orange and northwest Osceola Counties. Before development of Walt Disney World began (mid-1967), all of this tract of land was scrubby flatlands and swamp. Walt Disney World facilities...
Floods of January 15-17, 1974, in Northwestern Montana
M. V. Johnson, R. J. Omang
1974, Open-File Report 74-38
Introduction Rain and snowmelt caused several streams in northwestern Montana to flood during January 15-17, 1974. The flooding was caused by a major rainstorm that extended from Montana through Idaho and Washington. The most damage occurred in the Kootenai River drainage, centering around the town of Libby. Also unusually high flows...
Basic heat-flow data from the United States
J.H. Sass, Robert J. Munroe
1974, Open-File Report 74-9
It has been impossible to document fully in source papers, the large number of heat-flow results from the United States that have been published in recent years. The basic data of the major American research groups active in heat flow are tabulated in this report. Quantities tabulated include temperature, thermal...
Atlantic OCS resource and leasing potential
Richard Q. Foote, Robert E. Mattick, John Charles Behrendt
1974, Open-File Report 74-348
Thick marine sedimentary sections and geologic structures favorable for the accumulation of petroleum are indicated in Georges Bank basin, the Baltimore Canyon trough, and the Southeast Georgia embayment. Undiscovered recoverable resources of petroleum on the Atlantic OCS are estimated to be 10 billion to 20 billion barrels of oil and...
Geothermal systems of northern Nevada
Richard Kenneth Hose, Bruce Edward Taylor
1974, Open-File Report 74-271
Hot springs are numerous and nearly uniformly distributed in northern Nevada. Most occur on the flanks of basins, along Basin and Range (late Miocene to Holocene) faults, while some occur in the inner parts of the basins. Surface temperatures of the springs range from slightly above ambient to, boiling; some...
