Jared D. Abraham, Craig Moulton, Philip J. Brown II
2002, Open-File Report 2002-63
In October 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted borehole radar surveys of an oil injection experiment at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM), in Golden Colorado using the prototype U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-developed directional borehole radar system (DBOR). A explanation of the system can be...

Naresh Kumar, Kenneth J. Bird, Philip H. Nelson, John A. Grow, Kevin R. Evans
2002, Open-File Report 2002-71
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has initiated a project to reassess the hydrocarbon potential of the NPRA. Although exploration for hydrocarbons in the NPRA was initiated in 1944, it has taken fifty years for the first commercial discovery to be made. That discovery, the Alpine field (projected recoverable reserves...

Gerald K. Czamanske (compiler)
2002, Open-File Report 2002-74
The Noril'sk I, Talnakh, and Kharaelakh intrusions of the Noril'sk district host one of the outstanding metal concentrations in the world; contained Cu-Ni resources are comparable to the deposits at Sudbury, Ontario and the platinum group element (PGE) resource is second only to that of the Bushveld Complex. Our opportunity...

A logistic regression equation for estimating the probability of a stream flowing perennially in Massachusetts
Gardner C. Bent, Stacey A. Archfield
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4043
A logistic regression equation was developed for estimating the probability of a stream flowing perennially at a specific site in Massachusetts. The equation provides city and town conservation commissions and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection with an additional method for assessing whether streams are perennial or intermittent at a...
Simulation of a proposed emergency outlet from Devils Lake, North Dakota
Aldo V. Vecchia
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4042
From 1993 to 2001, Devils Lake rose more than 25 feet, flooding farmland, roads, and structures around the lake and causing more than $400 million in damages in the Devils Lake Basin. In July 2001, the level of Devils Lake was at 1,448.0 feet above sea level1, which was...
Simulation of ground-water flow and potential contaminant transport at Area 6 Landfill, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Island County, Washington
F. William Simonds
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4252
A three-dimensional finite-difference steady-state ground-water flow model was developed to simulate hydraulic conditions at the Area 6 Landfill, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, near Oak Harbor, Washington. Remediation efforts were started in 1995 in an attempt to contain trichloroethene and other contaminants in the ground water. The model was developed...
Pesticides in surface water of the Yakima River basin, Washington, 1999–2000 — Their occurrence and an assessment of factors affecting concentrations and loads
James C. Ebbert, Sandra S. Embrey
2002, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4211
The occurrence, distribution, and transport of pesticides in surface water of the Yakima River Basin were assessed using data collected during 19992000 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program. Samples were collected at 34 sites located throughout the basin in August 1999 using a Lagrangian...

Preliminary United States-Mexico border watershed analysis, twin cities area of Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Sonora
Laura Margaret Brady, Floyd Gray, Mario Castaneda, Mark Bultman, Karen Sue Bolm
2002, Open-File Report 2002-112
The United States - Mexico border area faces the challenge of integrating aspects of its binational physical boundaries to form a unified or, at least, compatible natural resource management plan. Specified geospatial components such as stream drainages, mineral occurrences, vegetation, wildlife, and land-use can be analyzed in terms of their...
Mine and mineral occurrences of Afghanistan
G. J. Orris, J. D. Bliss
2002, Open-File Report 2002-110
This inventory of more than 1000 mines and mineral occurrences in Afghanistan was compiled from published literature and the files of project members of the National Industrial Minerals project of the U.S. Geological Survey. The compiled data have been edited for consistency and most duplicates have been deleted. The data...
Shear-wave velocity compilation for Northridge strong-motion recording sites
Roger D. Borcherdt, Thomas E. Fumal
2002, Open-File Report 2002-107
Borehole and other geotechnical information collected at the strong-motion recording sites of the Northridge earthquake of January 17, 1994 provide an important new basis for the characterization of local site conditions. These geotechnical data, when combined with analysis of strong-motion recordings, provide an empirical basis to evaluate site coefficients used...
Geologic interpretation of aeromagnetic maps in the Santa Cruz basin: Patagonia Mountains area, south-central Arizona
V. L. Rystrom, C. A. Finn, Trude V. V. King
2002, Open-File Report 2002-100
High resolution aeromagnetic data for the Santa Cruz basin - Patagonia Mountains region of south-central Arizona (USGS, 2000) can be combined with geologic mapped regions to reconfirm known geologic features, extend known features, and suggest new possibilities. These include mapping of lava flows, mapping of igneous intrusions, mapping of faults,...

Michele L.W. Tuttle, Martin B. Goldhaber, Leslie F. Ruppert, James C. Hower
2002, Open-File Report 2002-28
