Isotopic and chemical data from carbonate cements in surface rocks over and near four Oklahoma oil fields
Mitchell E. Henry, Terrence J. Donovan
1978, Open-File Report 78-927
Carbonate cements in outcropping sandstones overlying the Doyle, Fox-Graham, Velma, and part of Wheeler oil fields, Oklahoma, were analyzed for their C13/ 12, 018/016, iron, and manganese compositions. The peculiar areal distribution of the values obtained is interpreted to be the direct result of hydrocarbon microseepage....
Exceedance probability-depth relationships of floods for Maryland streams west of Chesapeake Bay
William J. Herb
1978, Open-File Report 78-171
A procedure is outlined for estimating the depths of floods of specified exceedance probabilities for Maryland streams west of the Chesapeake Bay. Data required for use of the estimating procedure are the stream's location in one of three flood-depth regions and the drainage area. Regression equations developed for depth estimation...

Correlations between seismic wave velocities and physical properties of near-surface geologic materials in the southern San Francisco Bay region, California
Thomas E. Fumal
1978, Open-File Report 78-1067
To identify geologic units with distinctly different seismic responses for the purposes of seismic zonation, compressional and shear wave velocities have been measured in boreholes at 59 sites in the San Francisco Bay region in a wide range of near-surface (0-30m) geologic materials. Several physical parameters, which can be readily...
Hydrogeologic data for the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site, St. Petersburg, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-853
Lithologic, hydraulic, geophysical, and water-quality data were collected at the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site at St. Petersburg, FL. The data were collected to determine the feasibility of subsurface injection of storm runoff. An exploratory hole and five observation wells were constructed between October 1974 and April 1976. The lithology...
Hydrogeologic data for the South Cross Bayou test injection site, Pinellas County, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-575
One exploratory hole, a test injection well, and nine monitor wells were constructed at the South Cross Bayou test-injection site between January 1973 and October 1975. At the test site, the first 125 feet below land surface is predominantly limestone and clay; from 125 to 3,280 feet it is mostly...
Techniques for the evaluation of surface wind data in terms of eolian sand drift
Steven G. Fryberger
1978, Open-File Report 78-405
The purpose of this report is to summarize briefly techniques presently in use by the U.S. Geological Survey (Denver) to analyze surface wind data in terms of eolian sand drift. These techniques were developed for regional analysis of surface wind directional and energy characteristics in connection with Chapter F "Dune...

This open-file report lists all Geological Survey, U.S. Bureau of Mines, and State of Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys reports and maps on the geology, geophysics, and mineral and water resources of Alaska published or released to open files in 1977. They are listed by the quadrangles (scale...
Hydrologic and geomorphic data from the Piceance Basin, Colorado, 1972-77
Donald G. Frickel
1978, Open-File Report 78-825
This report is a compilation of erosion measurements made at 121 channel sites and 45 hillslope sites during the period 1972-77 in the Piceance basin of northwestern Colorado. The data were collected as part of channel-morphology, sediment-transport, and erosion-rate studies being conducted in conjunction with development of the oil-shale resource...

Suspended-sediment transport in the Big Eau Pleine River Basin, central Wisconsin
S. M. Hindall
1978, Open-File Report 78-313
Suspended-sediment yields in the Big Eau Pleine River basin are low to moderate in comparison with other drainage basins in Wisconsin. Average annual yield in the Big Eau Pleine River near Stratford is 32.tons per square mile, with an annual yield ranging from 1.0 to 64 tons per square mile....
Drainage areas of streams in Arkansas--Red River basin
Marion S. Hines, John J. Yanchosek
1978, Open-File Report 78-555
Drainage areas, determined in accordance with procedures recommended by the Subcommittee on Hydrology of the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee, are listed for points on streams in the Red River basin in Arkansas. Points on the streams are identified by some topographic feature and by latitude and longitude....
Overburden chemistry and mineralogy at Hanging Woman Creek, Big Horn County, Montana, and recommendations for sampling at similar sites
Todd K. Hinkley, Richard John Ebens, Josephine G. Boerngen
1978, Open-File Report 78-393
Cored overburden rock of the Fort Union Formation at the Hanging Woman Creek potential coal mine site was classified in hand specimen on the basis of color and grain size into 3 types: sandstone. siltstone-plus-shale, and dark shale. The samples were analyzed for bulk chemistry and mineralogy. In general the...
