Radioelement concentrations and preliminary radiometric ages of rocks of the Kigluaik Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Carl Maurice Bunker, Carl E. Hedge, C.L. Sainsbury
1977, Open-File Report 77-735
A sequence of old metamorphic rocks including the Kigluaik and Nome Groups is exposed in the Kigluaik Mountains of the Seward Peninsula. The high-grade metasedimentary rocks give a whole-rock Rb-Sr age of 735 m.y. This late Precambrian age is believed to be the time of metamorphism. Orthogneisses, intrusive into the...

Chemical composition of Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks from east-central Alaska
Earl E. Brabb, Bette R. Hamachi
1977, Open-File Report 77-631
The purpose of this report is to make available 108 analyses of a variety of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks from east-central Alaska. The rocks were collected by the senior author, Michael Churkin, Jr., G. Donald Eberlein, Reuben J. Ross, Jr., and James Melik from 1960 to 1963....
Thermal loading of natural streams
Alan P. Jackman, Nobuhiro Yotsukura
1977, Professional Paper 991
The impact of thermal loading on the temperature regime of natural streams is investigated by mathematical models, which describe both transport (convection-diffusion) and decay (surface dissipation) of waste heat over 1-hour or shorter time intervals. The models are derived from the principle of conservation of thermal energy for application to...

Paleozoic-Mesozoic boundary in the Berry Creek Quadrangle, northwestern Sierra Nevada, California
Anna Martta Hietanen
1977, Professional Paper 1027
Structural and petrologic studies in the Berry Creek quadrangle at the north end of the western metamorphic belt of the Sierra Nevada have yielded new information that helps in distinguishing between the chemically similar Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks. The distinguishing features are structural and textural and result from different degrees...

Maximum floodflows in the conterminous United States
John R. Crippen, Conrad D. Bue
1977, Water Supply Paper 1887
Peak floodflows from thousands of observation sites within the conterminous United States were studied to provide a guide for estimating potential maximum floodflows. Data were selected from 883 sites with drainage areas of less than 10,000 square miles (25,900 square kilometers) and were grouped into regional sets. Outstanding floods for...

Ground-water resources of Cambodia
William Charles Rasmussen, Gary M. Bradford
1977, Water Supply Paper 1608-P
Cambodia (now the Khmer Republic), in tropical, humid southeast Asia, has an area of 175,630 km and a population of about 5 million. The Mekong River, one of the world's largest rivers, flows through Cambodia. Also, the Tonle Sap (Grand Lac), a highly productive fresh-water lake, functions as a huge...
Ground-water levels in the United States, 1972-74, north-central states

1977, Water Supply Paper 2163
Publication of ground-water level data for the United States in water-supply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, a single water-supply paper for each year covering the entire nation was issued (Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886). Since then water-supply papers have...

Elements needed in design of a ground-water-quality monitoring network in the Hawaiian Islands
Kiyoshi J. Takasaki
1977, Water Supply Paper 2041
The elements needed in the design of a ground-water-quality monitoring network in the Hawaiian Islands are described and summarized. The elements are given by geohydrologie units which represent areas where there are similarities in the occurrence of ground water or in the geology pertinent to the occurrence of ground water....

Relation of bulk precipitation and evapotranspiration to water quality and water resources, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
Donald George Jordan, Donald W. Fisher
1977, Water Supply Paper 1663-I
St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, lies in what can be considered a true maritime regime, being 600 miles (1000 kilometers) from the nearest continental landmass. The island is composed almost entirely of volcanic rocks mantled by a thin soil seldom more than 2 feet (60 centimeters) thick. Rainfall, averaging about 40...
Hydrologic changes after logging in two small Oregon coastal watersheds
David Dell Harris
1977, Water Supply Paper 2037
Effects of clearcut, cable logging on the hydrologic characteristics of a small coastal stream in Oregon indicate an average 181-percent increase in sediment yield over a 7-year postlogging period. Annual runoff and high-flow volumes increased 19 and 1.1 inches (480 and 28 mm), respectively, after logging in the watershed. Clearcutting...
