Fence diagram showing lithologic facies of the Sadlerochit Formation (Permian and Lower Triassic), northeastern Alaska
Robert L. Detterman
1974, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 584
A fence diagram of the Sadlerochit Formation, the major reservoir rock in the Prudhoe Bay oil field, is presented for about 20,000 square miles of northeastern Alaska. Thirty reference points were used in constructing the diagram, 27 are outcrop sections measured in detail between 1969 and 1972, and 4 are...

The worldwide search for petroleum offshore; a status report for the quarter century, 1947-72
Henry L. Berryhill
1974, Circular 694
At the end of 1972, offshore petroleum exploration was in progress on the submerged continental margins of 80 countries. Some 780 oil and gas fields had been discovered. Estimated worldwide volume of oil discovered offshore as of January 1, 1973, is 172.8 billion barrels of oil, or about 26 percent...

This index does not include maps that were placed in open files but not formally published,...
Average composition of agriculture soils in Missouri counties
Ronald R. Tidball
1974, Open-File Report 74-66
Samples of agricultural soils were collected extensively throughout the State of Missouri for the purpose of evaluating the distribution of elements in soils of the State. Only soils used for agricultural purposes during the year 1970 or before were sampled. It is recognized that these soils may be altered chemically...

Population ecology of the mallard: II. Breeding habitat conditions, size of the breeding populations, and production indices
Richard S. Pospahala, David R. Anderson, Charles J. Henny
1974, Resource Publication 115
This report, the second in a series on a comprehensive analysis of mallard population data, provides information on mallard breeding habitat, the size and distribution of breeding populations, and indices to production. The information in this report is primarily the result of large-scale aerial surveys conducted during May and July,...
Optical data processing and projected applications of the ERTS-1 imagery covering the 1973 Mississippi River Valley floods
Morris Deutsch, Fred Ruggles
1974, Water Resources Bulletin (10) 1023-1039
Flooding along the Mississippi River and some of its tributaries was detected by the multispectral scanner (MSS) on the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) on at least three orbits during the spring of 1973. The ERTS data provided the first opportunity for mapping the regional extent of flooding at the...
Survey of remote sensing applications
Morris Deutsch
1974, Water Well Journal (28) 35-38
Data from the first earth resources technology satellite (ERTS) as well as from NASA and other aircraft, contain much of the information indicative of the distribution of groundwater and the extent of its utilization. Thermal infrared imagery from aircraft is particularly valuable in studying groundwater discharge to the sea and...

EROS: A space program for Earth resources
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1974, Report
The EROS Program, administered by the U. S. Geological Survey, works with representatives of departmental bureaus and offices to coordinate research and application of remote-sensing technology to the day to-day operations of the department. Most of the research and applications have been made possible by the experimental data acquisition systems...
Strain-gage measurements in Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico
J. S. McLean
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 281-283
Displacement transducers installed on a near-vertical joint in the lunchroom in Carlsbad Caverns measured small movements along the joint with a resolution of 3.7X 10-6 in (9.4X10-6 cm). During 1973 the maximum annual displacement horizontally, vertically, and perpendicularly to the plane of the joint was 4.7X10-4, 4.0X10-4, and 1.1X10-4 in...

Plumes of leachate-enriched ground water extend 10,600 and 5,000 ft (3,200 and 1,500 m) downgradient from landfills in the towns of Babylon and Islip, respectively, and extend vertically beneath the landfills to the base of the upper glacial aquifer, whose thickness ranges from 71 to 77 ft (22-24 m) at...
Upward migration of deep-well waste injection fluids in Floridan Aquifer, south Florida
M. I. Kaufman, D.J. McKenzie
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 261-271
Geochemical data from an industrial deep-well waste injection system southeast of Lake Okeechobee indicate a decrease in sulfate concentration concomitant with an increase in hydrogen sulfide concentration, a result of oxidation of injected organic waste by anaerobic bacteria. Subtle decreases in the sulfate-chloride ratio suggest that the waste migrated upward...
