John B. McHugh, W. Roger Miller, Walter H. Ficklin
1983, Open-File Report 83-286
A hydrogeochemical survey utilizing waters from springs and wells was conducted in east-central Nevada. None of the trace elements commonly associated with mineralization were found to be highly anomalous in the study area. Slightly anomalous values for some elements were found in the southern valleys of the study area and...

$ANBA; a rapid, combined data acquisition and correction program for the SEMQ electron microprobe
James J. McGee
1983, Open-File Report 83-817
$ANBA is a program developed for rapid data acquisition and correction on an automated SEMQ electron microprobe. The program provides increased analytical speed and reduced disk read/write operations compared with the manufacturer's software, resulting in a doubling of analytical throughput. In addition, the program provides enhanced analytical features such as...

E. S. McGee, B.C. Hearn
1983, Open-File Report 83-156
The recently discovered Lake Ellen kimberlite, in northern Michigan, indicates that bedrock sources of diamonds found in glacial deposits in the Great Lakes area could lie within the northern U.S. Magnetic surveys show a main kimberlite 200 m in diameter and an adjacent body 25 x 90 m(?). The kimberlite...
Landslide investigations, southern Cianjur Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia; a progress report
John R. Ege
1983, Open-File Report 83-597
Two landslide-monitoring sites have been established for a minimum 2-year investigation near the villages of Pasirpari and Cibacang in southern Cianjur Regency, West Java, Indonesia. Surveyed-in lines will measure amounts of surface movement and tilt, borings that produced exploratory cores now serve as slip-surface detectors and open-pipe piezometers, and rain...
Mitigation of hazards from future lahars from Mount Merapi in the Krasak River channel near Yogyakarta, central Java
John R. Ege, Sutikno
1983, Open-File Report 83-596
Procedures for reducing hazards from future lahars and debris flows in the Krasak River channel near Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, include (1) determining the history of the location, size, and effects of previous lahars and debris flows, and (2) decreasing flow velocities. The first may be accomplished by geologic field...

Peralkaline and peraluminous granites and related mineral deposits of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
James E. Elliott
1983, Open-File Report 83-389
In the Precambrian Arabian Shield, granitoid plutonic rocks are widespread and range in age from 800 to 550 Ma old; but the mineral-resource potential associated with these plutonic rocks is restricted mainly to the younger, postorogenic granites. Two granite types of current economic interest are zirconium- niobium-enriched per alkaline granites...
Explosion-induced stress changes estimated from vibrating-wire stressmeter measurements near the Mighty Epic event, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis, J.D. Kibler
1983, Open-File Report 83-642
Explosion-induced compressive stress increases near an underground nuclear explosion are believed to contribute significantly to the containment of high-pressure gases within the explosion-produced cavity. These induced compressive stresses are predicted by computer calculations, but have never been adequately confirmed by field measurements, owing primarily to the unique difficulties of obtaining...
Hydraulic-fracturing measurmements in two boreholes near the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis
1983, Open-File Report 83-406
Hydraulic-fracturing measurements are used to infer the magnitude of the least principal stress in the vicinity of the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, located in the Climax stock at the Nevada Test Site. The measurements, made at various depths in two exploratory boreholes, suggest that the local stress field is not uniform....
Preliminary assessment of in-situ geomechanical characteristics in drill hole USW G-1, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
William L. Ellis, Henri S. Swolfs
1983, Open-File Report 83-401
Observations made during drilling and subsequent testing of the USW G-1 drill hole, Yucca Mountain, Nevada, provide qualitative insights into the in- situ geomechanical characteristics of the layered tuff units penetrated by the hole. Substantial drilling-fluid losses, and the occurrence of drilling-induced fracturing, are understandable in terms of the low,...

1983, Open-File Report 83-136
Data are provided for the Hay Creek study area near Wibaux, Mont., and the West Branch Antelope Creek study area near Beulah, N. Dak. The report contains data on the following: Air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind run, solar radiation, precipitation, soil temperature, snowpack temperature, snowpack density and water...
Stratigraphy, structure, and palinspastic synthesis of the western Brooks Range, northwestern Alaska
Charles F. Mayfield, Irvin L. Tailleur, Inyo Ellersieck
1983, Open-File Report 83-779
This report is an effort to describe and decipher the mid-Paleozoic to Lower Cretaceous stratigraphy and the orogenic evolution of the western Brooks Range. The western Brooks Range primarily is composed of stacks of complexly deformed thrust sheets that contain mostly coeval sequences of rocks with slightly different lithologic facies....
