Lithium in sediments and rocks in Nevada
Robert G. Bohannon, Allen L. Meier
1976, Open-File Report 76-567
Reconnaissance geochemical sampling has been conducted by the Lithium Resource Program of the United States Geological Survey for much of the Western U.S. Sediment, rock, and brine samples have been collected in many states, but this report describes just those solid samples collected in Nevada. Further reports by other members...
Preliminary survey of modern glaciolacustrine sediments for earthquake-induced deformational structures, south-central Alaska
Michael J. Rymer, John D. Sims
1976, Open-File Report 76-373
Bottom sediments of four lakes in South-Central Alaska were studied in the summer of 1975 for evidence of earthquake-induced deformation. The lakes are: Summit, Upper Trail, and Skilak, all on the Kenai Peninsula, and Eklutna, northeast of Anchorage (fig. 1). Interest in these lakes was stimulated by hypotheses developed from...
Time-of-travel studies, Susquehanna River, Binghamton, New York, to Clarks Ferry, Pennsylvania
C.D. Kauffman, J.T. Armbruster, Andrew Voytik
1976, Open-File Report 76-247
Results of time-of-travel studies are presented in both tabular and graphical form for several flow conditions in the Susquehanna River from Binghamton, N.Y., to Clarks Ferry, Pa. This reach is approximately 240 miles (386 kilometres) long, measured along the center of the channel, and has a drainage area of about...

Economic worth of hydrologic data in project design: An application to regional energy development
M.R. Karlinger
1976, Open-File Report 76-316
The linkage between the benefits to a regional economy from a water-dependent industry and the statistical uncertainty of the water supply that is needed in the production process is analyzed using a Bayesian scheme of expected-expected benefits of hydrologic data. In this analysis, expected benefits are calculated using anticipated streamflow...
Analysis of seismograms from a downhole array in sediments near San Francisco Bay
William B. Joyner, Richard E. Warrick, Adolph A. Oliver III
1976, Open-File Report 76-296
A four-level downhole array of three-component instruments was established on the southwest shore of San Francisco Bay to monitor the effect of the sediments on low-amplitude seismic ground motion. The deepest instrument is at a depth of 186 meters, two meters below the top of the Franciscan bedrock. Earthquake data...

Deep Ocean Mining Environmental Study, Northeast Pacific nodule province; geology and geochemistry of Site C
James L. Bischoff
1976, Open-File Report 76-548
Probably the single most obvious and important environmental effect during deep-sea mining operations will be the resuspension and discharge of large amounts of sea floor sediment into the water column. The objectives of the geological program, therefore, were two-fold. The first was to provide baseline information on the sediment system...
The Lisburne Group: A potential major hydrocarbon objective of the Arctic Slope, Alaska
Kenneth J. Bird, Clifton F. Jordan
1976, Open-File Report 76-786
The Lisburne Group, a thick carbonate rock unit of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian age, is one of the most widespread potential reservoir rock units in northern Alaska. A comprehensive review of the Lisburne in the subsurface of the eastern Arctic Slope indicates attractive reservoir characteristics in a favorable source and migration...

1976, Open-File Report 76-51
A low altitude, total intensity aeromagnetic map of the ?west-central Columbia Plateau, underlain principally by the Yakima Basalt,. shows Positive and negative anomalies that stand out from a moderate intensity .background reflecting .interbedded flows of normal and reversed magnetic polarity. One set of anomalies is related to anticlinal ridges, nother...

Bouguer gravity map of Alaska
David F. Barnes
1976, Open-File Report 76-70
The Bouguer gravity map of Alaska has been compiled from about 30,000 Alaska land gravity measurements plus approximately 40,000 km of surface-ship gravimeter traverses over the bordering continental shelves. The compilation thus represents nearly three times as much land data and ten times as much marine data as were available...
