A summary of measured hydraulic data for the series of steady and unsteady flow experiments over patterned roughness
Dannie L. Collins, Kathleen M. Flynn
1979, Open-File Report 79-1260
This report summarizes and makes available to other investigators the measured hydraulic data collected during a series of experiments designed to study the effect of patterned bed roughness on steady and unsteady open-channel flow. The patterned effect of the roughness was obtained by clear-cut mowing of designated areas of an...
Projected effects of the proposed Tennessee Colony Reservoir on ground-water conditions in the alluvium of the Trinity River and Cedar Creek, Texas: preliminary results for the Trinidad area
Sergio Garza
1979, Open-File Report 79-1270
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed the construction of Tennessee Colony Dam and Reservoir as part of a multipurpose plan for the Trinity River and tributaries between the Dallas-Fort Worth area and the Texas Gulf Coast. The Corps requested the assistance of the U.S. Geological Survey (1) to define...

Location and hydrocarbon content of a gravity core from the offshore Eel River basin, northern California
Michael E. Field, Keith A. Kvenvolden, Samuel H. Clarke
1979, Open-File Report 79-1618
The core was collected from ponded sediment near the crest of a diapir-like feature on the Eel Plateau. The measured hydrocarbons are likely to have been derived from deep in the Neogene sedimentary section of the Eel River Basin. Their presence at the surface may indicate migration along fractures in...

Geometric considerations for an automated mapping satellite system (Mapsat)
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1979, Open-File Report 79-914
The geometry of the frame photograph whether taken from an aircraft or a satellite is well known and documented. Transforming photographs into maps is a relatively slow and expensive process which for many critical steps defies automation. A satellite offers the unique advantages of greater stability and uniform velocity over...
Progress report on the study of radioactive quartz-pebble conglomerate of the Medicine Bow Mountains and Sierra Madre, southeastern Wyoming

Water-quality data from a landfill, Pinellas County, Florida, May 1975-October 1977
Mario Fernandez
1979, Open-File Report 78-822
Ground water in and near a proposed landfill site can become contaminated by leachates from the fill material. Realizing that potential, Pinellas County entered into a cooperative investigation with the U.S. Geological Survey to determine background water-quality conditions, and to evaluate the potential effects of landfill leachate on the quality...
Bibliography of selected reports related to studies on earthquake tectonics and risk, 1975-1978
Jane P. Ohl
1979, Open-File Report 79-1184
The reports and abstracts included in this bibliography have been selected arbitrarily on the basis of their relation to U.S. Geological Survey studies on earthquake tectonics and risk. U.S. Geological Survey scientists involved in other aspects of earthquake studies have also written many dozens of reports during the same time...
Projected effects of intermittent changes in withdrawal of water from the Arikaree Aquifer near Wheatland, southeastern Wyoming
Dwight T. Hoxie
1979, Open-File Report 80-15
Effects on streamflows and ground-water levels attributable to a proposed intermittent change in use and sites of withdrawal of 3 ,146 acre-feet of water from the Arikaree aquifer in central Platte County, WY, are assessed with a previously developed ground-water flow model. This water has been permitted for agricultural use...
Results of transient simulations of a digital model of the Arikaree Aquifer near Wheatland, southeastern Wyoming
Dwight T. Hoxie
1979, Open-File Report 79-1280
Revised ground-water pumpage data have been imposed on a ground-water flow model previously developed for the Arikaree aquifer in a 400 square-mile area in central Platte County, Wyo. Maximum permitted annual ground-water withdrawals of 750 acre-feet for industrial use were combined with three irrigation-pumping scenarios to predict the long-term effects...

Summary of references to mineral occurrences (other than mineral fuels and construction materials) in the Bering Glacier, Icy Bay, Middleton Island, and Yakutat quadrangles, Alaska
Edward Huntington Cobb
1979, Open-File Report 79-1246
This summary of references is designed to aid in library research on metallic and nonmetallic (other than mineral fuels and construction materials) mineral occurrences in the Bering Glacier, Icy Bay, Middleton Island, and Yakutat quadrangles, Alaska. References to most reports of the Geological Survey, U.S. Bureau of Mines, and State...
Calc-alkaline plutonism along the Pacific rim of southern Alaska
Travis Hudson
1979, Open-File Report 79-953
Field, petrology, and age data on southern Alaska plutonic rocks now enable the delineation of eight calc-alkaline plutonic belts. These belts of plutons or batholithic complexes are curvilinear to linear and trend parallel or subparallel to the continental margin. The belts represent the principal loci of emplacement for plutons of...
Statistics and earth sciences; a challenge for the 80's; the geologists viewpoint
Richard B. McCammon
1979, Open-File Report 79-1245
It used to be that university students took up geology because they were attracted to the outdoors. This attraction developed perhaps because of a weekend field trip, or a summer field camp, or, for the lucky ones, a field season with an oil company. Whatever the reason, to be a...
