Cyclic landsliding at Wrightwood, southern California: A preliminary report
Douglas M. Morton, Russell H. Campbell
1978, Open-File Report 78-1079
Recurring landslide and mudflow events in the Wrightwood area of Southern California are parts of a composite cycle of landslide activity that includes three recognizable stages. The three stages are interdependent, occur in sequence, and are of different duration. Deposits of the first stage--the largest in size--are removed to positions...
Geotechnical properties of northern Bering Sea sediment
Edward C. Clukey, Hans Nelson, John E. Newby
1978, Open-File Report 78-408
The physical properties of sediments taken from the northern Bering Sea (Norton Sound area) have been determined in order to evaluate their impact on recently identified possible geologic hazards in the area. Standard identification tests (water content, Atterberg limits, grain size, specific gravity and density) as well as shear strength...

Effects of urbanization on streamflow and sediment transport in the Rock Creek and Anacostia River basins, Montgomery County, Maryland, 1962-74
Thomas H. Yorke, William J. Herb
1978, Professional Paper 1003
Land use, precipitation, streamflow, and sediment discharge data were collected from nine small drainage basins in Montgomery County, Maryland, to evaluate runoff and sediment response to sediment-control practices in areas undergoing urban development. Drainage basins ranged in size from 0.35 to 21.1 sq mi and land use ranged from rural...
A water-quality assessment of the Busseron Creek watershed, Sullivan, Vigo, Greene, and Clay counties, Indiana
Stephen E. Eikenberry
1978, Open-File Report 78-13
Chemical quality of surface water in the 237-square mile Busseron Creek watershed is significantly affected by drainage from coal mines and municipalities. Drainage from coal mines is primarily a problem of higher than normal dissolved-solids concentration, whereas, drainage from municipalities is generally a problem of bacteria and phytoplankton. Generally, the...
South Carolina seismic program seismological data report, July 1975-June 1977

More than 1400 m of fine-grained clastic rocks and reefoid limestones constitute the lower part of an Upper Devonian transgressive-regressive cycle in the central Brooks Range, Alaska (Dutro and others, 1977). The Hunt Fork Shale and an underlying heterogeneous unit (unnamed) were measured and sampled on the east side of...

The Potential for Prophyry Copper-Molybdenum Deposits in the Eastern United States
Robert Gordon Schmidt
1978, Professional Paper 907-E
Several significant porphyry-type deposits of Paleozoic age are known in New England and eastern Canada. Disseminated copper-molybdenum deposits of Paleozoic age are in the Southeastern United States, and copper is produced from porphyry-type deposits of both Precambrian and Paleozoic age in eastern Canada. Although these old deposits are surely less...
