Assessment of the alluvial sediments in the Big Thompson River Valley, Colorado
Adrienne Barnett, Karl J. Ellefsen
2000, Data Series 66
To obtain subsurface geologic information about the alluvium in the Big Thompson River valley, S-wave refraction data were collected along three roads that cross the valley. The refraction data were used to estimate velocities and thickness for a layered-earth model; from these models, three cross sections of the river valley...
Water, ice, and meteorological measurements at South Cascade Glacier, Washington, 1986-1991 balance years
Robert M. Krimmel
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4006
Mass balance and climate variables are reported for South Cascade Glacier, Washington, for the years 1986-91. These variables include air temperature, precipitation, water runoff, snow accumulation, snow and ice melt terminus position, surface level, and ice speed. Data are reduced to daily and monthly values where appropriate. The glacier-averaged values...
Population status of the Tinian Monarch (Monarcha takatsukasae) on Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands
Michael Lusk, Steve C. Hess, Michelle H. Reynolds, Scott Johnston
2000, Micronesica (32) 181-190
We conducted surveys to evaluate the current population status of the Tinian Monarch (Monarcha takatsukasae), an insectivorous forest bird restricted to the island of Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. In 1996, we recounted transects surveyed in 1982 and used the same analysis procedure to compare 1982 and 1996...

Seismic instrumentation of buildings
Mehmet Çelebi
2000, Open-File Report 2000-157
The purpose of this report is to provide information on how and why we deploy seismic instruments in and around building structures. The recorded response data from buildings and other instrumented structures can be and are being primarily used to facilitate necessary studies to improve building codes and therefore reduce losses...
Preliminary model of the pre-Tertiary basement rocks beneath Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site, Nevada, based on analysis of gravity and magnetic data
Geoffrey A. Phelps, Edwin H. McKee, D. Sweetkind, V.E. Langenheim
2000, Open-File Report 2000-134
The Environmental Restoration Program of the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, was developed to investigate the possible consequences to the environment of 40 years of nuclear testing on the Nevada Test Site. The majority of the tests were detonated underground, introducing contaminants into the ground-water system (Laczniak and...
Program to convert SUDS2ASC files to a single binary SEGY file
Mark Goldman
2000, Open-File Report 2000-141
This program, SUDS2SEGY, converts and combines ASCII files created using SUDS2ASC Version 2.60, to a single SEGY file. SUDS2ASC has been used previously to create an ASCII file of three-component seismic data for an individual recording station. However, many seismic processing packages have difficulty reading in ASCII data. In addition, it...
Analytical results for total-digestions, EPA-1312 leach, and net acid production for twenty-three abandoned metal-mining related wastes in the Boulder River watershed, northern Jefferson County, Montana
David L. Fey, George A. Desborough, Christopher J. Finney
2000, Open-File Report 2000-114
IntroductionMetal-mining related wastes in the Boulder River basin study area in northern Jefferson County, Montana, have been implicated in their detrimental effects on water quality with regard to acid generation and toxic-metal solubilization during snow melt and storm water runoff events. This degradation of water quality is defined chiefly by...
