1978, Circular 795
Strong motion data from western North America for earthquakes of magnitude greater than 5 are examined to provide the basis for estimating peak acceleration, velocity, displacement, and duration as a function of distance for three magnitude classes. A subset of the data (from the San Fernando earthquake) is used to...

Leonard M. Nelson
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-133
This reconnaissance evaluation of the sediment transport by the White River into the Mud Mountain Reservoir, in Washington, during the period June 1974-June 1976 showed that the river transported 430,000 tons of suspended sediment into the reservoir during the first year of the study and 1,400,000 tons in the second...

Albert J. Heinitz, Sulo Werner Wiitala
1978, Open-File Report 79-272
Evaluation of flood hazards, and the planning, design, and operation of various facilities on flood plains require information on floods. This report provides information on flood stages and discharges, flood magnitudes and frequency, and flood profiles for the Skunk River and some of its tributaries. It covers the Skunk --...

Surface water records of Cook Inlet basin, Alaska, through September 1975
David R. Scully, Larry S. Leveen, Raymond S. George
1978, Open-File Report 78-498
This report summarizes records of streamflow and water temperature collected prior to October 1, 1975, in the Cook Inlet Basin of south-central Alaska. Streamflow records for gaging stations are tabulated as monthly and annual summaries and annual extremes. For those gaging stations at which continuous or daily water temperature records...

Physiography and surficial geology of the copper-nickel study region, northeastern Minnesota
P. G. Olcott, D. I. Siegel
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-51
The Copper-Nickel study region lies in the Superior Upland physiographic province and is located approximately 60 miles north of Duluth and 100 miles southeast of International Falls, Minnesota. It straddles the Laurentian Divide, which separates Hudson Bay and Lake Superior drainage. The topography exhibits a southwesterly trending lineation that parallels...
Sediment transport in the Feather River, Lake Oroville to Yuba City, California
George Porterfield, Robert D. Busch, Arvi O. Waananen
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-20
Regulation of the Feather River by Oroville Dam and reservoir in northeast California (beginning in 1967) changed the streamflow and sediment discharge downstream from the dam. Changes in channel geometry to adjust to the new regimen were still in process in 1975. Streamflow and sediment concentration and discharge had decreased....
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...

Mercury analysis of sediments from cores in Clear Lake, Lake County, California
John D. Sims
1978, Open-File Report 78-116
Cores of late Quaternary sediments were collected from several sites in Clear Lake (fig. 1). Samples from two of these cores (fig. 2, 3) have been analyzed for their mercury content as part of a study on the time of emplacement of the mercury ore body at the nearby Sulphur...
Hydrologic monitoring of a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida, March 1970 - March 1977
Charles A. Pascale, J.B. Martin
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-27
This report presents hydraulic and chemical data collected at a deep-well waste-injection system near Pensacola, Florida. Since injection began in July 1963, about 13.3 billion gallons of industrial acidic waste containing nitric acid, inorganic salts and numerous organic compounds have been injected into a saline-water-filled limestone aquifer. Wellhead pressure at...

Computer model of two-dimensional solute transport and dispersion in ground water
Leonard F. Konikow, J.D. Bredehoeft
1978, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 07-C2
This report presents a model that simulates solute transport in flowing ground water. The model is both general and flexible in that it can be applied to a wide range of problem types. It is applicable to one- or two-dimensional problems involving steady-state or transient flow. The model computes changes...

1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-8
Flood profiles are included for selected recurrence-interval floods in west-central Florida for a 27-mile reach of Cypress Creek, for a 4-mile tributary reach, and for a 1.2-mile distributary reach. The procedure for constructing flood profiles is based on flood heights computed in a step-backwater analysis using the following data: 2-,...
