Plans for high-gain Landsat coverage of coastlines and shallow seas
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-867
Recently the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) requested NASA to obtain Landsat coverage of the coastlines and shallow seas of the world, except for the United States, Canada, northern Europe, and the polar regions. Other agencies such as Interior have also requested coverage of specific shallow sea areas and there is...
Ages of flow units in the far eastern lunar maria based on crater density
Joseph M. Boyce
1978, Open-File Report 78-879
The distribution of major geologic units of uniform relative age exposed in the far eastern maria (i.e., Mare Marginis, Mare Smythii, and Mare Crisium) and Mare Humorum was compiled in map form on the basis of a crater density mapping technique. Correlation of crater densities and radiometric ages of Apollo...

F. C. Boner
1978, Open-File Report 78-239
This report contains lists of streamflow and reservoir stations, peak-flow partial-record stations, chemical-quality stations, sediment stations, and observation wells where water levels are measured in Wyoming. The locations of the basic-data sites are shown on maps. Thirty-two water-resources appraisal projects in Wyoming are also described, including many that are related...

Hydrologic data for Mountain Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1976
H.D. Buckner
1978, Open-File Report 77-800
The total drainage area of Mountain Creek, Texas, is 304 sq mi. The stream-gaging stations on Mountain Creek near Cedar Hill and Walnut Creek near Mansfield provide hydrologic data to define runoff characteristics from small drainage basins. They also serve as index stations for inflow into the reservoir and provide...
Cross-section data for selected Puerto Rico streams
Eloy Colon-Dieppa, Ralph Gonzalez
1978, Open-File Report 78-882
The data presented in this report were originally collected for the purpose of delineating the inundation which could be expected by floods of selected magnitudes. As this study progressed, it became apparent that further analysis would be a duplication of effort as the United States Flood Insurance Administration was requiring...
Spectrographic and chemical analyses of whole-rock and insoluble-residue samples, Rolla 1° x 2° quadrangle, Missouri: Drill hole No. 4
Elwin L. Mosier, J.G. Viets, S.K. McDanal
1978, Open-File Report 78-470-A
Geochemical studies of the Rolla, Mo., 1° x 2° quadrangle were begun in 1977 as a part of a joint multidisciplinary study of the quadrangle by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Division of Geology and Land Survey, Missouri Department of Natural Resources. The study is to assess the mineral...

Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Abdulaziz Y. Bagdady, Jesse William Whitlow, Ralph Jackson Roberts
1978, Open-File Report 78-1074
Placer gold deposits in the Mahd adh Dhahab district were productive during ancient times, possibly during two periods, about 950 B.C. and 750— 1258 A.D. These deposits were mapped and systematically sampled in 1973 to determine their future potential. The sampling program was facilitated by use of a backhoe which...
Water-level records for the northern High Plains of Colorado, 1974-78
Ronald G. Borman
1978, Open-File Report 78-499
Water-level measurements were made in more than 600 wells in January 1978 in the northern High Plains of Colorado. Changes in water levels from January 1977 to January 1978 ranged from a rise of about 22 feet in Phillips County to a decline of about 14 feet in Yuma County....

Reconnaissance geology and geochronology of the Precambrian of the Granite Mountains, Wyoming
Zell E. Peterman, Robert A. Hildreth
1978, Professional Paper 1055
The Precambrian of the western part of the Granite Mountains, Wyoming, contains a metamorphic complex of gneisses, schists, and amphibolites that were derived through amphibolite-grade metamorphism from a sedimentary-volcanic sequence perhaps similar to that exposed in the southeastern Wind River Mountains. Whole-rock Rb-Sr dating places the time of metamorphism at...

Water-quality assessment of the Middle Fork Anderson River watershed, Crawford and Perry counties, Indiana
Mark A. Ayers
1978, Open-File Report 78-71
Surface-water quality in the watershed is generally good except for problem-causing concentrations of bacteria, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus at some sites along the main stem during low flow and manganese at most sites year-round.Dissolved-solids concentration ranged from 76 to 248 milligrams per liter. Concentrations at sites upstream from reservoirs were...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Fish Springs Flat area, Tooele, Juab and Millard counties, Utah
E.L. Bolke, C. T. Sumsion
1978, Open-File Report 78-312
The Fish Springs Flat area includes about 590 square miles (1,530 square kilometers) in western Utah. Total annual precipitation on the area averages about 7 inches (180 millimeters) and totals about 232,000 acre-feet (286 cubic hectometers). Fish Springs Wash is the major drainage in the area; and, along with numerous...
Dissolved-oxygen depletion and other effects of storing water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming and Utah
E.L. Bolke
1978, Open-File Report 78-92
The circulation of water in Flaming Gorge Reservoir is caused chiefly by insolation, inflow-outflow relationships, and wind, which is significant due to the geographical location of the reservoir. During 1970-75, there was little annual variation in the thickness, dissolved oxygen, and specific conductance of the hypolimnion near Flaming Gorge Dam....

Geochemical explorations for gold deposits at Goldfield, Nevada
Roger P. Ashley, William J. Keith
1978, Open-File Report 78-228
The main problem in geochemical exploration for gold ore bodies in the 40 km2 hydrothermally altered area at Goldfield is to decide which of the many silicified ledges exposed are most likely to yield deposits with additional subsurface exploration. We conclude that the most efficient way to search for exploration...
