Distribution functions for statistics derived from bivariate normal and bivariate two-parameter log-normal populations
James Richard Slack, Nicholas C. Matalas, James R. Wallis
1976, Open-File Report 76-214
The distribution functions for hydrologic statistics that may be used to assess the significance of differences between sample means, standard deviations, coefficients of skewness, and coefficients of variations are obtained by Monte Carlo experiments. The distributions are expressed as functions of sample size, cross correlation, and skewness. In general, the...
User's guide to the Radiometric Age Data Bank (RADB)
Robert Eugene Zartman, J. C. Cole, Richard F. Marvin
1976, Open-File Report 76-674
The Radiometric Age Data Bank (RADB) has been established by the U.S. Geological Survey, as a means for collecting and organizing the estimated 100,000 radiometric ages presently published for the United States. RADB has been constructed such that a complete sample description (location, rock type, etc.), literature citation, and extensive...

Preliminary investigations on computational methods for solving the two-point seismic ray-tracing problem in a heterogeneous and isotropic medium
J.P. Yang, William Hung Kan Lee
1976, Open-File Report 76-707
Two-point seismic ray tracing is an important problem in seismology. In this report, we study this problem by first deriving the differential equations governing seismic wave propagation between two end points in a 3-dimensional heterogeneous and isotropic medium. We then formulate three numerical schemes to solve the two-point ray-tracing problem....

Ground-water conditions in the Kingston area, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and their effect on basement flooding
Douglas J. Growitz
1976, Open-File Report 76-793
Ground water underlying the Kingston area occurs in one very complex reservoir that consists of two essential parts--a shallow system and a deep system. The shallow system is composed of the unconsolidated deposits in the buried valley. The deep system is composed of bedrock, including anthracite coal, some of which...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the lower Big Chino Valley and Williamson Valley areas, Yavapai and Coconino Counties, Arizona--1975-76
B.L. Wallace, R. L. Laney
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-78
Arizona is divided into 67 ground-water areas, and individual areas are selected for intensive data collection once every 6 years. The data collected in the lower Big Chino Valley and Williamson Valley areas are given on maps that show depth to water, well depth, and altitude of the water level,...

The U.S. Geological Survey Atlantic Margin Coring Project, 1976, a 60-day expedition to obtain core samples by drilling beneath the floor of the Continental Shelf and Slope of the eastern United States, was carried out in July, August, and September 1976 aboard D/V GLOMAR CONCEPTION. The coring penetrated as much...

Flood information from 104 project basins (0.1 to 20 square miles) and data available from 170 larger basins (20 to 1,500 square miles) are analyzed to provide planners and designers with relations for estimating the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges on small natural streams in Georgia. More than 90...
Appraisal of water resources in the Hackensack River basin, New Jersey

This 3-sheet map report describes the hydrologic conditions in northwestern Wyoming. The increasing number of tourists and residents and the shifting of overnight accommodations for tourists from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks to nearby areas may result in the need for development of additional water supplies in northwestern Wyoming....
The effects of ground-water development on the water supply in the Post Headquarters area, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
T. E. Kelly, Glenn A. Hearne
1976, Open-File Report 76-277
Water-level declines in the Post Headquarters area, White Sands Missile Range, N. Mex., have been accompanied by slight but progressive increases in the concentration of dissolved solids in water withdrawn from the aquifer. Projected water-level declines through 1996 are estimated from a digital simulation model to not exceed 200 feet...
