Mount St. Helens volcanic-ash fall in the Bull Run watershed, Oregon, March-June 1980
M.V. Shulters, Daphne G. Clifton
1980, Circular 850-A
During several periods of volcanic-ash eruption at Mount St. Helens, Wash., (March 30, May 25-26, May 30-June 2, and June 12-13, 1980) strong winds from the north occurred at high altitudes. As a result, the volcanic ash fell some 50 miles to the south in the Bull Run watershed, the...
The accuracy of selected land use and land cover maps at scales of 1:250,000 and 1:100,000
Katherine Fitzpatrick-Lins
1980, Circular 829
Land use and land cover maps produced by the U.S. Geological Survey are found to meet or exceed the established standard of accuracy. When analyzed using a point sampling technique and binomial probability theory, several maps, illustrative of those produced for different parts of the country, were found to meet...

Rubidium-strontium geochronology and plate-tectonic evolution of the southern part of the Arabian Shield
Robert J. Fleck, W.R. Greenwood, D.G. Hadley, R.E. Anderson, D. L. Schmidt
1980, Professional Paper 1131
Rubidium-strontium studies of Precambrian volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Arabian Shield document an early development of the Arabian craton between 900 and 680 m.y. (million years) ago. Geologic studies indicate an island-arc environment characterized by andesitic (dioritic) magmas, volcaniclastic sedimentation, rapid deposition, and contemporaneous deformation along north or northwest-trending...
Geological studies of the COST No. B-3 well, United States mid-Atlantic continental slope area
Peter A. Scholle
1980, Circular 833
The COST No. B-3 well is the first deep stratigraphic test to be drilled on the Continental Slope off the Eastern United States. The well was drilled in 2,686 ft (819 m) of water in the Baltimore Canyon trough area to a total depth of 15,820 ft (4,844 m) below...

Thorium resources of selected regions in the United States
Mortimer Hay Staatz, R.B. Hall, D. L. Macke, T.J. Armbrustmacher, I. K. Brownfield
1980, Circular 824
Thorium resources have been assessed in a previous report entitled 'Principal thorium resources in the United States' (Staatz and others, 1979) for (1) veins in the larger districts, {2) massive carbonatites, {3) disseminated deposits, and {4) stream placers of North and South Carolina. This report is a sequel to that...
Evaluation of planning alternatives for maintaining desirable dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the Willamette River, Oregon
David A. Rickert, F. A. Rinella, W. G. Hines, S. W. McKenzie
1980, Circular 715-K
For nearly half a century the Willamette River in Oregon experienced severe dissolved-oxygen problems related to large loads of organically rich waste waters from industries and municipalities. Since the mid-1950 's dissolved oxygen quality has gradually improved owing to low-flow augmentation, the achievement of basinwide secondary treatment, and the use...

Four reference soil and rock samples for measuring element availability in the Western Energy Regions
J.G. Crock, R. C. Severson
1980, Circular 841
Attaining acceptable precision in extractable element determinations is more difficult than in total element determinations. In total element determinations, dissolution of the sample is qualitatively checked by the clarity of the solution and the absence of residues. These criteria cannot be used for extracts. Possibilities for error are introduced in...
The handling, hazards, and maintenance of heavy liquids in the geologic laboratory
Phoebe L. Hauff, Joseph Airey
1980, Circular 827
In geologic laboratories the organic heavy liquids bromoform, methylene iodide, tetrabromoethane, and clerici compounds have been used for years in mineral separation processes. Because the volume of use of these compounds is low, insufficient data is available on their toxic properties. This report is an attempt to summarize the known...
