Fitzhugh T. Lee, John F. Abel
1983, Circular 876
Subsidence, a universal process that occurs in response to the voids created by extracting solids or liquids from beneath the Earth's surface, is controlled by many factors including mining methods, depth of extraction, thickness of deposit, and topography, as well as the in situ properties of the rock mass above...
Petroleum potential of wilderness lands in the Western United States
Betty M. Miller, editor(s)
1983, Circular 902-A-P
In 1982-83, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted an investigation of the oil and gas potential of the designated and proposed Wilderness Lands in the Western United States. The scope of this study was limited to the assessment of conventional recoverable petroleum resources occurring in the designated and proposed Wilderness...
The Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program: Guide to information contained in folio of geologic and mineral resource maps of the Philip Smith Mountains quadrangle, Alaska

1983, Circular 759
The geology and mineral resources of the Philip Smith Mountains quadrangle were virtually unexplored until the investigations for oil began in northern Alaska. Construction of the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System has now made the quadrangle accessible by road. In 1975 and 1976 a team of geologists, geochemists, and geophysicists investigated the...
Mineral surveys by the Geological Survey and the Bureau of Mines of Bureau of Land Management Wilderness Study Areas
