1974, Open-File Report 74-212
Intensive study of Mariner 9 data has resulted in an understanding--although far from complete--of the geologic processes affecting the Martian surface and of its history of development. The results are briefly summarized in the following section. The second section consists of geologic studies of four widely separated areas on Mars...
South Carolina seismic program
Arthur C. Tarr, Kenneth W. King
1974, Open-File Report 74-58
The principal objectives of the South Carolina Seismic Program are to: (1) provide essential high-quality raw seismic data for earthquakes in South Carolina; (2) compute accurate estimates of event and source parameters; (3) provide a catalog of events and source parameters that will be used in further evaluation of seismic...
Recommendations for the study and appraisal of oil-shale deposits in Jordan
Vernon Emanuel Swanson
1974, Open-File Report 74-197
A geologic-geochemical evaluation conducted October 5-24, 1968, both in the field area and in the laboratories has shown the Upper Cretaceous oil shale in the El Lajjun area of central Jordan to be one of Jordan's major natural mineral resources. Continued but slightly modified investigations are strongly recommended to determine...

Average composition of agriculture soils in Missouri counties
Ronald R. Tidball
1974, Open-File Report 74-66
Samples of agricultural soils were collected extensively throughout the State of Missouri for the purpose of evaluating the distribution of elements in soils of the State. Only soils used for agricultural purposes during the year 1970 or before were sampled. It is recognized that these soils may be altered chemically...

An assessment of areal and temporal variations in streamflow quality using selected data from the National Stream Quality Accounting Network
Timothy Doak Steele, Edward J. Gilroy, Richard O. Hawkinson
1974, Open-File Report 74-217
Streamflow chemical-quality data and stream-temperature data at 88 stations throughout the United States and Puerto Rico were analyzed to develop and to evaluate methodologies for the general assessment of the variation of the Nation's streamflow-quality conditions in space and over time. The spatial variation is described by the use of...

Gravel resources, urbanization, and future land use, Front Range Urban Corridor, Colorado
James M. Soule, Harold R. Fitch
1974, Open-File Report 74-178
An assessment of gravel needs in Front Range Urban Corridor markets to 2000 A.D., based on forecast population increases and urbanization, indicates that adequate resources to meet anticipated needs are potentially available, if future land use does not preclude their extraction. Because of urban encroachment onto gravel-bearing lands, this basic...
