Garnett P. Williams
1978, Circular 781
Since the latter part of the 19th century, channels of North Platte and Platte Rivers in western and central Nebraska have changed considerably. In the 365-km reach from Minatare to Overton, the channel by 2969 ws only about 0.1-0.2 as wide in 1865. The 1969 channel for this reach was...

Mines, prospects, and occurrences map of the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, Alaska
Russell G. Tysdal
1978, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 880-A
The Prince William Sound region may be considered as made up of two extensive and distinctive mineral belts defined by the preponderance of either gold or copper deposits (Capps and Johnson, 1915). In the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, the division of the two belts is approximately along the Contact...
Mineralogical map showing the distribution and abundance of gold, scheelite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, minium, and sapphire corundum in heavy-mineral concentrates in the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles, Alaska

1978, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 880-G
Reconnaissance geochemical and mineralogical sampling was done in the Seward and Blying Sound quadrangles during 1975 and 1976 as part of the Alaska Mineral Resources Assessment Program (AMRAP). These maps show the distribution and abundance of gold, scheelite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, minium and sapphire corundum in heavy-mineral concentrates. Heavy-mineral concentrate samples were...

Present and potential sediment yields in the Yampa River Basin, Colorado and Wyoming
Edmund D. Andrews
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-105
Average annual suspended- and total-sediment loads in streamflow were determined by the flow-duration sediment-transport-curve method at 18 sites in the Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming. These computations indicate that about 2.0 million tons of sediment are carried by the Yampa River at Deerlodge Park during an average year. Significant...
Floods of September 1970 in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico
R.H. Roeske, Maurice E. Cooley, B. N. Aldridge
1978, Water Supply Paper 2052
During September 5-7, 1970, unusually large floods occurred in the mountains of central Arizona and in the Four Corners area of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Flooding also occurred in southern and northeastern Arizona. The record-high rainfall of September 5 occurred when a mass of moist tropical air from...

Application of digital profile modeling techniques to ground-water solute transport at Barstow, California
Stanley G. Robson
1978, Water Supply Paper 2050
This study investigated the use of a two-dimensional profile-oriented water-quality model for the simulation of head and water-quality changes through the saturated thickness of an aquifer. The profile model is able to simulate confined or unconfined aquifers with nonhomogeneous anisotropic hydraulic conductivity, nonhomogeneous specific storage and porosity, and nonuniform saturated...

The International Consortium was organized, under the leadership of E. C. T. Chao, to conduct a systematic interdisciplinary study of four lunar rock samples (77135, 77115, 77075 and 77215) collected by the Apollo 17 astronauts as representative of the four lithologies they recognized in the boulder at station 7.

Development of a relation for steady-state pumping rate for Eagle Valley ground-water basin, Nevada
Freddy E. Arteaga, Timothy J. Durbin
1978, Open-File Report 79-261
Eagle Valley is a topographic and ground-water basin in the west-central area of Nevada. The demand for water in the valley is approaching the limits of the locally available resource, which is the water yield of 9,000 acre-feet per year from the adjacent mountain areas.The steady-state pumping rate from the...
Geohydrologic data from twenty-four test holes drilled in the Piceance Basin, Rio Blanco County, Colorado, 1975-76
Frank A. Welder, George J. Saulnier
1978, Open-File Report 78-734
Twenty-four test holes were drilled in the Piceance basin, northwestern Colorado, to obtain geohydrologic data from the Uinta and Green River Formations of Eocene age. Depths of test holes ranged from 640 to 2,800 feet. The maximum quantity of water discharged during the air drilling of individual test holes ranged...
