1978, Open-File Report 78-706
During the L1-78-SC cruise of the USGS research vessel S. P. Lee (April 25 - May 11, 1978) seven sonobuoy profiles and 200 km of 24-channel seismic reflection data were recorded in the outer southern California Continental Borderland. These data were obtained, at the request of the Deep Sea Drilling...

Discharge, gage height, and elevation of 100-year floods in the Hudson River basin, New York
Roger J. Archer
1978, Open-File Report 78-332
The flood discharge that may be expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average of once in 100 years (100-year flood) was computed by the log-Pearson Type-III frequency relation for 72 stations in the Hudson River basin. These discharges and, where available, their corresponding gage height and elevation above...

Sixty samples of sediments from stream beds, outwash plains, and beaches were collected in Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey by Fred L. Klinger,U.S. Bureau of Mines, as part of the field work undertaken by the National Geographic-Smithsonian Pyrotechnological Expedition of 1968. Facilities for the analysis of the samples for tin and...

Instrumentation for obtaining seismic anisotropy data from ocean bottom using moored sonobuoys
Alan C. Jones
1978, Open-File Report 79-854
Using observations by Raitt and Shor, Hess (1964) noted that there was a correlation of compressional wave velocity in the mantle with seismic profile direction, suggesting that seismic anisotropy existed over a broad area of the Pacific basin. This paper describes a system developed and used to look for the...

Plans for high-gain Landsat coverage of coastlines and shallow seas
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-867
Recently the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) requested NASA to obtain Landsat coverage of the coastlines and shallow seas of the world, except for the United States, Canada, northern Europe, and the polar regions. Other agencies such as Interior have also requested coverage of specific shallow sea areas and there is...
Proposed parameters for an automated mapping satellite (Mapsat) system
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-932
Landsats-1, -2, and -3, although not defined as mapping satellites, are in fact effectively recording the Earth in a form suitable for presentation as small-scale image maps. These spacecraft have demonstrated the effectiveness of Earth sensing, which must now move from the research to the operational phase. Landsat-D is designed...
A ground-water inventory of the Waialua basal-water body, Island of Oahu, Hawaii

The San Juan Basin and adjacent region lie predominantly in the southeastern part of the uranium-rich Colorado Plateau of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Underlying the province are rocks of the Precambrian basement complex composed mainly of igneous and metamorphic rocks; a thickness of about 3,600 meters of generally...
Electron-microprobe study of chromitites associated with alpine ultramafic complexes and some genetic implications
M. L. Bird
1978, Open-File Report 78-119
Electron-microprobe and petrographic studies of alpine chromite deposits from around the world demonstrate that they are bimodal with respect to the chromic oxide content of their chromite. The two modes occur at 54 ? 4 and 37 ? 3 weight per cent chromic oxide corresponding to chromite designated as high-chromium...
Installation of water and gas-sampling wells in low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches, West Valley, New York
