The operation and maintenance of a crest-stage gaging station
John Friday
1965, Open-File Report 66-45
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize field personnel with the procedures involved in operating crest-stage gaging stations. Crest-stage gages are used to determine the elevation of a peak stage occurring at a specific location in a stream. A crest-stage gage consists of a length of 14-inch diameter pipe installed...
Identification and measurement of chlorinated organic pesticides in water by electron-capture gas chromatography
William L. Lamar, Donald F. Goerlitz, LeRoy M. Law
1965, Water Supply Paper 1817-B
Pesticides, in minute quantities, may affect the regimen of streams, and because they may concentrate in sediments, aquatic organisms, and edible aquatic foods, their detection and their measurement in the parts-per-trillion range are considered essential. In 1964 the U.S. Geological Survey at Menlo Park, Calif., began research on methods for...

1965, Open-File Report 65-35
At Malaga Bend on the Pecos River in Eddy County, New Mexico, a brine aquifer about 1950 feet below the stream channel has a pressure head about 10 feet above the river bed. This aquifer normally discharges about 430 tons of dissolved minerals daily into the river of which about...
Delaware River water quality Bristol to Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, August 1949 to December 1963

Relation of electrochemical potentials and iron content to ground-water flow patterns
William Back, Ivan Barnes
1965, Professional Paper 498-C
This study was undertaken to develop means of measuring oxidation potentials in aquifer systems and to use the measured values in interpreting the behavior of iron in ground water. Anne Arundel County, Md., was selected as the area of study because of the wide range of concentration of iron-nearly zero...
Variations in chemical character of water in the Englishtown Formation, New Jersey
Paul R. Seaber
1965, Professional Paper 498-B
This investigation describes the variations in the chemical character of the water in the Englishtown Formation of Late Cretaceous age in the Atlantic Coastal Plain of New Jersey, and demonstrates the application of the concept of hydrochemical mapping to the study and evaluation of water-bearing materials. The chemistry of ground water...
Resource understanding: a challenge to aerial methods
Stewart L. Udall
1965, Photogrammetric Engineering (31) 63-75
Aerial survey methods are speeding acquisition of survey data needed to provide and manage the nation's resources. These methods have been applied to topographic mapping for a number of years and the record clearly shows their advantages in terms of cost and speed in contrast to the ground methods that...
Photointerpretation of Alaskan post-earthquake photography
R.J. Hackman
1965, Photogrammetric Engineering (31) 604-610
Aerial photographs taken after the March 27, 1964, Good Friday, Alaskan earthquake were examined stereoscopically to determine effects of the earthquake in areas remote from the towns, highways, and the railroad. The two thousand black and white photographs used in this study were taking in April, after the earthquake,...
Geological exploration from orbital altitudes
Peter C. Badgley, William A. Fischer, Ronald J. P. Lyon
1965, Geotimes (10) 11-14
The National Aeronautics & Space Administration is planning geologic exploration from orbiting spacecraft. For that purpose it is evaluating new and refined exploration tools, often called remote sensors, including devices that are sensitive to force fields, such as gravity gradient systems, and devices that record the reflection or emission of...
Water resources data for Indiana, 1965
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1965, Water Data Report IN-65-1
The surface-water records for the 1965 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of Indiana are given in this report. For convenience there are also included records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by the...
Late quaternary geologic history of the lower Chippewa Valley, Wisconsin
George W. Andrews
1965, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (76) 113-124
The lower Chippewa Valley in west-central Wisconsin extends 65 miles from the Cary terminal moraine in Chippewa County to the Mississippi River Valley. The Chippewa Valley and its tributaries were filled with a valley train of sand and gravel during the maximum stand of the Cary ice, and entrenchment of...
Solute erosion and chloride balance in selected river basins of the western conterminous United States
A. S. Van Denburgh, J. H. Feth
1965, Water Resources Research (1) 537-541
The estimated average rates of annual solute erosion in 11 important western river basins range from 180 tons per square mile (Willamette basin) to 4.2 tons per square mile (Gila basin). An average rate of 58 tons per square mile is indicated for the entire 545,000‐square‐mile area drained by the...

A predominantly shale and chert sequence has been mapped from the Canadian border at Latitude 65°00′ N. to the Nation River about 25 miles northwest. It has Ordovician and Silurian graptolites in the lower half, and Middle Devonian corals and Upper Devonian spores in the upper half.The lower half of...
Artifact from deposits of mid-Wisconsin age in Illinois

Discovery of an artifact of human manufacture imbedded in Roxana loess, classed as Altonian substage of the Wisconsin stage of the Pleistocene, of an age of 35,000 to 40,000 years, contributes to the determination of the age of man in the New World....
Solubility measurements in the system CaSO4-NaCL-H2O at 35°, 50°, and 70°cand one atmosphere pressure
E-An Zen
1965, Journal of Petrology (6) 124-164
The solubilities in the system CaSO4-NaCl-H2O, at 1 atm pressure and 35°, 50°, and 70°C, have been determined by approaching the solubility curves from both the undersaturation and supersaturation sides. The experimental runs are of long duration, as much as 3 months; these rates should be commensurate with those of the appropriate geological processes, and so the results should be directly applicable...
Titanium dioxide in pyroclastic layers from volcanoes in the Cascade Range
G.K. Czamanske, S.C. Porter
1965, Science (150) 1022-1025
Rapid determinations of titanium dioxide have been made by x-ray emission techniques to evaluate the potentiality of using the TiO2 content of samples for checking field correlations and assisting in identification of pyroclastic units from Cascade volcanoes. Preliminary data suggest that the two most widespread units have characteristic ranges of TiO2 content...

1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 890-891
A simple animal support constructed of web belts to hold skittish pigs for weighing was developed. The support is easily made, noninjurious to the pigs, and compact, facilitating rapid, accurate weighing. With minor modifications, the support can probably be used in weighing other animals....
Epizootiologic studies on filarioids of the raccoon
C. M. Herman, D.L. Price
1965, Journal of Wildlife Management (29) 694-699
Filarioid worms (Dirofilaria immitis, D. tenuis, Dipetalonema procyonis, and D. llewellyni) were discovered in raccoons (Procyon lotar) in Maryland. Raccoons were trapped in lowland, upland, and agricultural-residential areas, which were further classified as stream borders, poorly drained, and well drained. Data on incidence of D. llewellyni were analyzed on basis...
