Estimation of ground motion parameters
David M. Boore, W. B. Joyner, A.A. Oliver, R.A. Page
1978, Circular 795
Strong motion data from western North America for earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5 are examined to provide the basis for estimating peak acceleration, velocity, displacement, and duration as a function of distance for three magnitude classes. A subset of the data (from the San Fernando earthquake) is used to...
Mineral exploration, Mahd adh Dhahab District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Ronald G. Worl
1978, Open-File Report 78-1073
Mahd adh Dhahab is the largest of numerous ancient gold mines scattered through the Precambrian shield of Saudi Arabia and the only one with recent production. During the period 1939-54, 765,768 fine ounces of gold and 1,002,029 ounces of silver were produced from the mines by the Saudi Arabian Mining...
Hydrologic monitoring of a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida, March 1970 - March 1977
Charles A. Pascale, J.B. Martin
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-27
This report presents hydraulic and chemical data collected at a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida. Since injection began in July 1963, about 13.3 billion gallons of industrial acidic waste containing nitric acid, inorganic salts and numerous organic compounds have been injected into a saline-water-filled limestone aquifer. Wellhead pressure at...
Low-cost computer classification of land cover in the Portland area, Oregon, by signature extension techniques
Leonard Gaydos
1978, Open-File Report 78-186
Computer-aided techniques for interpreting multispectral data acquired by Landsat offer economies in the mapping of land cover. Even so, the actual establishment of the statistical classes, or "signatures," is one of the relatively more costly operations involved. Analysts have therefore been seeking cost-saving signature extension techniques that would accept training...
Floods in the Skunk River basin, Iowa
Albert J. Heinitz, Sulo Werner Wiitala
1978, Open-File Report 79-272
Evaluation of flood hazards, and the planning, design, and operation of various facilities on flood plains require information on floods. This report provides information on flood stages and discharges, flood magnitudes and frequency, and flood profiles for the Skunk River and some of its tributaries. It covers the Skunk --...
Analyses and description of geochemical samples, Cranberry Wilderness Study Area, Pocahontas and Webster counties, West Virginia
J. M. Motooka, J.C. Negri, J. D. Sharkey, F. G. Lesure
1978, Open-File Report 78-215
Semiquantitative spectrographic and other analyses on 104 stream sediment and 100 rock and mineral samples are reported here in detail. Location for all samples are in universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates. Brief descriptions of rock and mineral samples are included. Rocks analyzed include sandstone and shale; two samples of pyrite...
Maps showing formation temperatures and configurations of the tops of the Minnelusa Formation and the Madison Limestone, Powder River basin, Wyoming, Montana, and adjacent areas
William J. Head, Kevin Thomas Kilty, Richard K. Knottek
1978, Open-File Report 78-905
This report is part of a study to describe the hydrogeologic framework needed to evaluate the water resources of the Paleozoic age aquifers in the Northern Great Plains coal region. Preliminary studies by the U.S. Geological Survey and State agencies in Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota have indicated that these...
A statistical summary and listing of the spectrographic analyses of heavy mineral concentrate and conventional, sieved stream-sediment samples, Silver City area, New Mexico
K. C. Watts, J.R. Hassemer, D. F. Siems, J. M. Nishi
1978, Open-File Report 78-801
Geochemical sampling of a tier of eight 7 1/2-minute quadrangles bordered by latitudes 32° 45'and 33° 00' N. and longitudes 108° 00' and 108° 30' W. was begun in the fall of 1974 and continued seasonally until completion in the fall of 1976. These quadrangles are in southwest New Mexico...
Summary of the water resources of Puerto Rico
H.J. McCoy
1978, Open-File Report 78-971
The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) is the lead agency in the Federal Interagency Study of the Economy of Puerto Rico. At the request of DOC the U.S. Geological Survey is providing a discussion of the water resources of the island for inclusion in the study's section on macroeconomic assessment.Two...
Analysis of urban storm-water quality for seven basins near Portland, Oregon
Timothy L. Miller, Stuart W. McKenzie
1978, Open-File Report 78-662
Over a 1.5-year period, water-quality data were collected for seven small drainage basins in urban aeas of Portland, Oreg. Analysis of the data followed three approaches. First, the constituent concentrations were analyzed. Average concentrations of suspended sediment, settleable solids, and fecal coliform bacteria generally exceeded levels expected for secondary waste-treatment...
Allocation of subsamples of Apollo 17 lunar rocks from the boulder at station 7, for study by the International Consortium
Jean A. Minkin, Carolyn L. Thompson, E. C. T. Chao
1978, Open-File Report 78-511
The International Consortium was organized, under the leadership of E. C. T. Chao, to conduct a systematic interdisciplinary study of four lunar rock samples (77135, 77115, 77075 and 77215) collected by the Apollo 17 astronauts as representative of the four lithologies they recognized in the boulder at station 7. Tables...
Chemical quality of water in abandoned zinc mines in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas
Stephen J. Playton, Robert Ellis Davis, Roger G. McClaflin
1978, Open-File Report 78-294
Onsite measurements of pH, specific conductance, and water temperature show that water temperatures in seven mine shafts in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas is stratified. With increasing sampling depth, specific conductance and water temperature tend to increase, and pH tends to decrease. Concentrations of dissolved solids and chemical constituents in mine-shaft water,...
