Development and evaluation of a prototype global volcanic surveillance system utilizing the ERTS-1 satellite data collection system
Peter L. Ward, Elliot T. Endo, David H. Harlow, Rex Allen, Dan Marquez, Jerry P. Eaton
1974, Open-File Report 74-124
The ERTS Data Collection System makes it feasible for the first time to monitor the level of activity at widely separated volcanoes and to relay these data rapidly to one central office for analysis. This capability opens a new era in volcanology where the hundreds of normally quiescent but potentially...

A special planning technique for stream-aquifer systems
C.T. Jenkins, O. James Taylor
1974, Open-File Report 74-242
The potential effects of water-management plans on stream-aquifer systems in several countries have been simulated using electric-analog or digital-computer models. Many of the electric-analog models require large amounts of hardware preparation for each problem to be solved and some become so bulky that they present serious space and access problems....

Nonglacial origin for conglomerate beds in the Wajid Sandstone of Saudi Arabia
Donald G. Hadley, Dwight L. Schmidt
1974, Open-File Report 74-21
Conglomerate beds containing sparse boulders in the upper part of the Wajid Sandstone of Permian or older(?) age have been interpreted as Gondwana glacial deposits (Helal, 1965). These beds, exposed in the Bani Khatmah area near the southeastern edge of the Arabian Shield of Saudi Arabia, contain normally graded polymictic...
