Lamont O. Wilch, L.D. North
1979, Open-File Report 79-591
The U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Mission has the responsibility for implementing a computer-based file known as the Rock Analysis Storage System (RASS), which is principally a geochemical data bank or library. Geologic parameters are necessarily provided for, but are far from comprehensive; nevertheless, nine years of operation in the...
A continuous water sampling and multi-parameter measurement system for estuaries
Laurence E. Schemel, Lee A. Dedini
1979, Open-File Report 79-273
Salinity, temperature, light transmissivity, oxygen saturation, turbidity, pH, pCO2, and chlorophyll a fluorescence of a pumped water sample are continuously measured with a system designed primarily for estuarine studies. Near-surface water from a depth of 2 m is sampled continuously while the vessel is underway or water at depths to...
Selected well inventory and chemical analyses of ground water, parts of Missoula and Powell counties, Montana
Kathleen R. Wilke
1979, Open-File Report 79-1491
Ground-water data collected in 1975-76 in the Swan and Avon valleys of western Montana and in 1978 in southwestern Missoula are presented in two tables. Table 1 is an inventory of 146 selected wells and table 2 lists chemical analyses of ground water from 52 wells. (Woodard-USGS)...
An economic analysis of selected strategies for dissolved oxygen management: Chattahoochee River, Georgia
John E. Schefter, Robert M. Hirsch
1979, Open-File Report 79-412
Using the Chattahoochee River as an example, a method for evaluating the cost-effectiveness of alternative strategies for dissolved oxygen (DO) management is demonstrated. The conceptual framework for the analysis is suggested by the economic theory of production. The minimum flow of the River and the percentage of the total waste...
Alteration and vein mineralization, Ladwig uranium mine, Jefferson County, Colorado
Alan R. Wallace
1979, Open-File Report 79-1615
Uranium ore at the Ladwig mine, Jefferson County, Colo., occurs in steeply dipping, northwest-striking faults and related fractures with a carbonate-adularia assemblage that forms in altered wallrocks and fills veins. The faults occur between large intrusive pegmatites and garnetiferous gneisses of Precambrian age, and were reactivated as the result of...

Low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin
D.A. Stedfast
1979, Open-File Report 79-1274
The purpose of this report is to describe low-flow characteristics of streams in the Pecatonica-Sugar River basin, Wisconsin, where streamflow data have been collected, and to present equations for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites. Low-flow characteristics were estimated for 11 gaging stations, 25 low-flow partial-record stations, and 207 miscellaneous sites...

Trace-element distribution around a South Texas roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-1375
The distribution of trace elements around a south Texas roll-type uranium deposit was examined using semiquantitative emission spectroscopic analytical data complemented by some quantitative data. The results suggest that of the 50 elements analyzed, only beryllium and possibly vanadium are enriched in the altered rock on the updip side of...
Interpretation of thermoluminescence patterns around a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-774
Thermoluminescence from quartz and feldspar grains in samples collected from the vicinity of a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit show an increase in the importance of high-temperature thermoluminescence relative to low-temperature thermoluminescence of samples which are believed to be former positions of the migrating mineralized front. This effect is believed to...

Mesozoic stratigraphy: the key to tectonic analysis of southern and central Alaska
David Lawrence Jones, Norman J. Silberling
1979, Open-File Report 79-1200
Southern and central Alaska constitutes an enormous tectonic mosaic composed of separate structural blocks and fragments that accreted to North America during Mesozoic and early Cenozoic time. Some of these blocks are far traveled, as shown by paleomagnetic and paleontologic studies. More than 25 discrete tectonostratigraphic terranes now are known,...
