1980, Open-File Report 80-1241
During the summers of 1978 and 1979, 211 gravity stations were established in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness area (Fig. 1). The data were obtained as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) program to evaluate the mineral-resource potential of wilderness areas. This gravity survey complements a gravity study of the proposed...

David P. Brown
1980, Open-File Report 80-347
A 2,102-foot observation well was drilled at Fernandina Beach, Florida, to obtain geologic and hydrologic data. Drill cuttings, water samples, and water-level measurements were collected. Geologist's, driller's, and geophysical logs were completed. The well is constructed with 12-inch diameter casing to a depth of 515 feet and 6-inch diameter casing...
Aquifer recharge from the 1969 and 1978 floods in the Mojave River basin, California
Anthony Buono, David J. Lang
1980, Open-File Report 80-207
The Mojave River basin, a high desert area in southwestern San Bernardino County, Calif., received 2.3 times the normal annual precipitation during the 1969 and 1978 water years. Precipitation in the mountainous upper part of the watershed is the primary source of flow in the Mojave River. Total precipitation at...

Field data describing the movement and storage of sediment in the East Fork River, Wyoming: Part II, Bed elevations, 1979
Robert H. Meade, Robert M. Myrick, William W. Emmett
1980, Open-File Report 80-1190
At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...
1979 annual index of current earthquake literature
M.L. Gunn, B.S. Hayashida, William Hung Kan Lee
1980, Open-File Report 80-238
In the past several years, earthquake research has been greatly accelerated in China, Japan, USSR and the United States. Presently, about 3,000 earthquake-related publications (including meeting abstracts) are produced yearly. In order to keep up with this current literature, a computer-based bibliographic system was implemented as part of a research...
Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1978
C.C. Kidwell
1980, Open-File Report 80-573
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the installation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing structures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The U.S. Soil Conservation Service has found...
Water-supply assessment of the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer in parts of Adams, Boulder, Jefferson, and Weld Counties, Colorado
Paul A. Schneider
1980, Open-File Report 80-327
Groundwater in the Laramie-Fox Hills aquifer is a potential source of supplemental municipal water supplies for the communities of Erie, Lafayette, Louisville, and Superior in Colorado. The present water supplies for these communities are not always adequate to meet current demands. The U.S. Geological Survey made a water-supply assessment of...
Technique for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in West Virginia
Gerald S. Runner
1980, Open-File Report 80-1218
A technique is presented to provide a method of estimating the magnitude of peak discharges of T-year frequencies for unregulated, virtually natural streams in West Virginia. Multiple regression techniques were used to develop the relation between peak discharges and drainage area. Data collected at 170 stream gaging sites were used...

Flood magnitude and frequency of small streams in Indiana: Preliminary estimating equations
Robert L. Gold
1980, Open-File Report 80-759
This interim report presents preliminary estimating equations developed for the ongoing study, "Flood Frequency of Small Streams in Indiana." The equations were developed by the multiple-regression technique from data collected at 57 crest-stage-gage and 15 rainfall-runoff sites in the study and from 133 streamflow stations in Indiana and 11 in...
Rapid and precise determination of ATP using a modified photometer
David J. Shultz, Doyle W. Stephens
1980, Open-File Report 80-1194
An inexpensive delay timer was designed to modify a commercially available ATP photometer which allows a disposable tip pipette to be used for injecting either enzyme or sample into the reaction cuvette. The disposable tip pipette is as precise and accurate as a fixed-needle syringe but eliminates the problem of...

Remote sensing and measurements of the Moon from Apollo orbiting spacecraft and Earth form a basis for extrapolation of Apollo surface data to regions of the Moon where manned and unmanned spacecraft have not been and may be used to discover target regions for future lunar exploration which will produce...
Interactive computer methods for generating mineral-resource maps
James Alfred Calkins, A.S. Crosby, T.E. Huffman, A. L. Clark, G.T. Mason, R.J. Bascle
1980, Circular 815
Inasmuch as maps are a basic tool of geologists, the U.S. Geological Survey's CRIB (Computerized Resources Information Bank) was constructed so that the data it contains can be used to generate mineral-resource maps. However, by the standard methods used-batch processing and off-line plotting-the production of a finished map commonly takes...

Geochemistry of fluoride in the Black Creek aquifer system of Horry and Georgetown Counties, South Carolina — And its physiological implications
Allen L. Zack
1980, Water Supply Paper 2067
High concentrations of fluoride in ground-water supplies in certain areas of Horry and Georgetown Counties, S.C., have been the cause of dental fluorosis (tooth mottling) among persons who have lived in these areas and have ingested the water as children. Geochemical evidence and laboratory experiments demonstrate that fluorapatite in the...
