Calibration of a simple oilspill trajectory model using the Argo Merchant spill
Timothy Wyant
1978, Open-File Report 78-334
An oil spill risk analysis was conducted to determine the relative envionmental hazards of developing oil in different regions of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf lease area. The study analyzed the probability of spill occurrence, likely paths of the spills, and locations in space and time of...
Nuclear power reactor sites in the southeastern United States
Mareta West
1978, Open-File Report 78-256
This report describes nuclear power reactor sites in the southeastern United States. The map indicates the location of all sites as of July 1976 in the conterminous United States, and a later published report will include all sites. The project is one of several in the National Environmental Overview Program...
Principal facts for gravity observations in the Coso Hot Springs area, California
William F. Isherwood, Donald Plouff
1978, Open-File Report 78-298
Gravity observations were made at 292 locations in the Coso Hot Springs area, California (figs. 1 and 2). The field work was completed during June 1976 by William F. Isherwood and Jerry H. Hassemer using LaCoste-Romberg Gravity Meters G-131 and G-159. The purpose of the gravity survey is to provide...
Sonobuoy refraction data near Kodiak, Alaska
Mark L. Holmes, Charles A. Meeder, Kenneth Clark Creager
1978, Open-File Report 78-368
A total of 88 unreversed sonobuoy refraction lines were shot over the continental shelf and slope near Kodiak, Alaska, in 1976 and 1977. Useful results were obtained from 59 of these attempts. The field measurements were carried out aboard the USGS research vessel SAMUEL P. LEE. The refraction lines were...
Geologic names of Ordovician rock-stratigraphic units exposed in Kentucky
Gordon Whitney Weir, Earle Rupert Cressman
1978, Open-File Report 78-796
This report summarizes and indexes the current usage of geologic names of exposed rock-stratigraphic units of Ordovician age in Kentucky. The Ordovician rocks crop out mainly in two separate areas in Kentucky (fig. 1). The larger area of outcrop, covering much of the middle part of the state, forms the...
Documentation of potential for surface faulting related to ground-water withdrawal in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-79
Leveling data collected in Las Vegas Valley are compatible with the interpretation that ongoing land-surface displacements related to ground-water withdrawal may be precursory to fault offset of the land surface. Zones of potential faulting intersect regions of intense urban development. The degree of risk and the potential economic consequences from...
A progress report on estuary modeling by the finite-element method
William G. Gray
1978, Open-File Report 78-479
Various schemes are investigated for finite-element modeling of two-dimensional surface-water flows. The first schemes investigated combine finite-element spatial discretization with split-step time stepping schemes that have been found useful in finite-difference computations. Because of the large number of numerical integrations performed in space and the large sparse matrices solved, these...
Low-flow characteristics of Oklahoma streams
Thomas L. Huntzinger
1978, Open-File Report 78-166
Analysis of streamflow records in Oklahoma has provided information on the low-flow characteristics of selected streams in Oklahoma. The 2-, 10- and 20-year low-flow frequency for 1-, 7-, 14- and 30-day durations have been determined for 143 continuous record stations, 46 partial record, and 56 miscellaneous sites in Oklahoma. Low-flows...
