Techniques for the evaluation of surface wind data in terms of eolian sand drift
Steven G. Fryberger
1978, Open-File Report 78-405
The purpose of this report is to summarize briefly techniques presently in use by the U.S. Geological Survey (Denver) to analyze surface wind data in terms of eolian sand drift. These techniques were developed for regional analysis of surface wind directional and energy characteristics in connection with Chapter F "Dune...

1978, Open-File Report 78-520
A radioactive anomaly about 10 km long was detected by an airborne survey of the Tabuk Formation, about 75 km west-northwest of Buraydah in northeastern Saudi Arabia. The gamma-spectrometer anomaly is 6 to 10 times higher than background over the adjacent Precambrian shield area and indicates anomalous concentrations of thorium-bearing...

Radiometric results and areal distribution for granitic samples from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming
John S. Stuckless, Carl M. Bunker, George Van Trump, Charles A Bush
1978, Open-File Report 78-803
Analyses of surface samples from the Granite Mountains, Wyoming, generally agree with the findings from drilling at two different localities. The dominant Precambrian granitic rock type is the biotitic phase of the granite of Lankin Dome. This rock type is characterized by high potassium and anomalously high thorium concentrations, and...

The radiometric ages reported below were completed during the period 1957-1936. the rock samples were provided and examined petrographically by Glen F. Brown and his associates at the U.S. Geological Survey. The 25 Rb-Sr ages of biotites and feldspars and the 25 K-Ar ages of biotites, hornblendes, and total rock...
Areas subject to inundation by the 100-year flood in Avra Valley, Pima County, Arizona
R.H. Roeske
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-33
Avra Valley in Pima County, Arizona, is sparsely populated and is used mainly for agriculture and cattle grazing; however, its proximity to Tucson makes it desirable for urban development. Administrators and planners concerned with future land development may use the map report to determine the approximate areas that are subject...

Scour and fill in a stream channel, East Fork River, western Wyoming
Edmund D. Andrews
1978, Open-File Report 78-928
Frequent soundings of 11 cross sections located on the East Fork River, western Wyoming, during a spring flood revealed two sequences of channel scour and fill. All sections either scoured or filled at the flood crests relative to their low-flow condition. The sections which scoured at high flow (called scouring...

1978, Open-File Report 78-974
Rainfall and runoff data from urbanized drainage basins in the Wichita area, Kansas, were used to evaluate the Soil Conservation Service synthetichydrograph method of computing flood hydrographsfrom rainfall data. The method was tested on six basins where the impervious surface ranged from 11 percent on the least urbanized basin to...
