J.C. Stephens
1977, Technical Publication 56
The Tule Valley drainage basin is an area of about 940 square miles in Juab and Millard Counties in west-central Utah. Precipitation in the basin averages about 8 inches annually. There is no surface outflow and all streams are ephemeral. Annual runoff averages about 0.09 inch. Because there is no...

R.W. Cruff
1977, Technical Publication 58
A study of the gains or losses of the Sevier Valley-Piute Canal from near Joseph to near Aurora, Sevier County, Utah, was made to aid in water allocation for the canal system. Four sets of seepage measurements were made in 1976, with the three most representative being used in the...

A model was developed for predicting the water and salt budget for various diking options in Great Salt Lake....
Combined use of digital aquifer models and field base-flow data to identify recharge-leakage areas of artesian aquifers
Richard H. Johnston, P. Patrick Leahy
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 491-496
As a result of continuous pumping since the 1890's, a regional cone of depression encompassing 363 km2 has developed within the artesian Miocene Cheswold aquifer at Dover, Del. The aquifer is not being recharged significantly by leakage near the center of the cone, nor is major recharge induced in the...
Hydrologic evaluation of Ashley Valley, northern Uinta basin area, Utah
James W. Hood
1977, Technical Publication 54
The water resources of the northern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, were studied during 1971-74. Ashley Valley was evaluated in slightly greater detail than the general area, in order to assess the general relation of ground- and surface-water supplies. In Ashley Valley , the principal source of both irrigation supply and ground-water...
Reconnaissance of water quality in the Duchesne River basin and some adjacent drainage areas, Utah
J. C. Mundorff
1977, Technical Publication 55
A water-quality reconnaissance in the Duchesne River basin and some adjacent drainage areas, Utah, covered an area of about 4,400 square miles (11,400 square kilometres)--about 4,000 square miles (10,360 square kilometres) in the Duchesne River basin and the remainder in the drainage areas of Pariette Draw and Pelican Lake. Data...
High-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry in uranium exploration
Robert M. Moxham, Allan B. Tanner
1977, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (5) 783-785
Sedimentary-type uranium deposits accumulate at favorable sites along a migration path which may be kilometers in length. Their source is a large volume of rock from which the uranium has been leached. The geochemical mobilities and half lives of uranium and its daughter products vary widely so that they are...
Lisburne Group (Mississippian and Pennsylvanian), potential major hydrocarbon objective of Arctic Slope, Alaska
Kenneth J. Bird, Clifton F. Jordan
1977, AAPG Bulletin (61) 1493-1512
The Lisburne Group, a thick carbonate-rock unit of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian age, is one of the most widespread potential reservoir-rock units in northern Alaska. A comprehensive review of the Lisburne in the subsurface of the eastern Arctic Slope indicates attractive reservoir characteristics in a favorable source and migration setting where...
Submarine faults and slides on the continental shelf, northern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson, Bruce F. Molnia
1977, Marine Geotechnology (2) 275-290
Submarine faults and slides or slumps of Quaternary age are potential environmental hazards on the outer continental shelf (OCS) of the northern Gulf of Alaska. Most faults that approach or reach the seafloor cut strata that may be equivalent in age to the upper Yakataga Formation (Pliocene‐Pleistocene). Along several faults,...
Application of linear statistical models of earthquake magnitude versus fault length in estimating maximum expectable earthquakes
Robert K. Mark
1977, Geology (5) 464-466
Correlation or linear regression estimates of earthquake magnitude from data on historical magnitude and length of surface rupture should be based upon the correct regression. For example, the regression of magnitude on the logarithm of the length of surface rupture L can be used to estimate magnitude, but the regression of log L on...
Hydrologic evaluation of the upper Duchesne River Valley, northern Uinta Basin area, Utah
James W. Hood
1977, Technical Publication 57
The upper Duchesne River valley was studied during 1971-74 as part of an investigation of the northern Uinta Basin area, Utah and Colorado. The purpose of the study was to determine the relation of ground water to surface water, to estimate the quantity of ground water that moves to the...
Black monazite from Taiwan
J.J. Matzko, W.C. Overstreet
1977, Proceedings of the Geological Society of China (20) 16-35
Two forms of detrital monazite are known in offshore bars in southwestern Taiwan: a yellow-green to colorless form and an unusual but abundant pelletlike form, generally black but also colored gray or brown. These black pellets, which are about 160 by 200 microns in size, are composed of fine-grained monazite...
Ground-water resources of Griggs and Steele Counties, North Dakota
Joe S. Downey, C. A. Armstrong
1977, Bulletin 64-3
Griggs and Steele Counties, in east-central North Dakota, are underlain by bedrock of Ordovician, Jurassic, and Cretaceous ages. The Fall River and Lakota Formations of Cretaceous age form the Dakota aquifer. The fractured upper part of the Pierre Formation (shale), also of Cretaceous age, forms another bedrock aquifer. The Dakota...

1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 59-61
Samples of gallbladder bile and blood from shovelnose sturgeons (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) collected from the Chippewa River, Wisconsin, contained concentrations of Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Cl-, inorganic phosphate, and total cholesterol closely comparable with those reported for similar samples from other species of freshwater sturgeons....

Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Report
The Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Program of the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered by the Geological Survey, was established in 1966 to apply remote-sensing techniques to the inventory, monitoring, and management of natural resources. To meet its primary objective, the EROS Program includes research and training in the...
Survival of monosex grass carp in small ponds
A.E. Thomas, Ray R. Carter
1977, Progressive Fish-Culturist (39) 184-184
Little information is available on the survival of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in ponds &mdash especially on the survival of fry to large fingerling stage, during the time when the most mortality would be expected. Development of monosex (all female) grass carp at the Fish Farming Experimental Station by the...
