Paleomagnetic evidence bearing on Tertiary tectonics of the Tihamat Asir coastal plain, southwestern Saudi Arabia
K.S. Kellogg, H. R. Blank
1982, Open-File Report 82-1047
Paleomagnetic directions determined for an upper Oligocene to lower Miocene dike swarm and from two lower Miocene layered gabbros in the Tihamat Asir coastal plain of southwestern Saudi Arabia are used to test several hypotheses concerning the tectonics of rifting along the eastern margin of the Red Sea. The dikes...

J.E. Reed
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-120
About 1,200 tons of chloride per day are added to the salt load of the Salt Fork Arkansas River at Great Salt Plains Lake.from brine discharge from the rocks of Permian age in the vicinity of the lake. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has planned a chloride-control project. The...

Estimating peak discharges of small rural streams in Massachusetts
S. William Wandle Jr.
1982, Open-File Report 80-676
Floodflows on natural-flow streams in Massachusetts with drainage areas between 0.25 square miles and 260 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, mean basin elevation, and the area of swamps, lakes, and ponds. Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and...
CONTOUR; a modification of G.I. Evenden's general purpose contouring program
R. H. Godson, M. W. Webring
1982, Open-File Report 82-797
A contouring program written for the DEC-10 computer (Evenden, 1975) has been modified and enhanced to operate on a Honeywell Multics 68/80 computer. The program uses a device independent plotting system (Wahl, 1977) so that output can be directed to any of several plotting devices by simply specifying one input...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Delaware County, Indiana
Leslie D. Arihood, Wayne W. Lapham
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-47
The ground-water resources of the White River basin in and near Delaware County, Indiana, were investigated by mapping the aquifers, calculating their hydraulic properties, determining the distribution of potentiometric head, and determining some of the components of the ground-water budget from data collected in the field. This information was used...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Hamilton and Tipton Counties, Indiana
Leslie D. Arihood
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-48
An analysis of the ground-water resources of the Hamilton and Tipton Counties was based on data from about 1,900 well logs, 125 water levels in 125 wells, streamflow measurements at 57 sites, and municipal- and industrial-pumpage records. These data were used to map the flow system and construct a three-dimensional...

1982, Publication 41-1
This publication is a history of the prominent earthquakes in the United States from historical times through 1970. It supersedes all previous editions with the same or similar titles (see page ii) and, in addition to updating earthquake listings through 1970, contains several additions and corrections to previous issues. It...
On Lagrangian residual currents with applications in south San Francisco Bay, California
Ralph T. Cheng, Vincenzo Casulli
1982, Water Resources Research (18) 1652-1662
The Lagrangian residual circulation has often been introduced as the sum of the Eulerian residual circulation and the Stokes' drift. Unfortunately, this definition of the Lagrangian residual circulation is conceptually incorrect because both the Eulerian residual circulation and the Stokes' drift are Eulerian variables. In this paper a...
Some observations on the ecology and fish management of reservoirs in the United States
N. G. Benson
1982, Canadian Water Resources Journal (7) 2-25
By 1980 there were 1,608 reservoirs (over 202 ha each) with a surface area of 4 million ha in the United States. Construction of new reservoirs has decreased in recent years because of the lack of suitable sites and the opposition of environmental interests. Reservoirs have characteristics of both lacustrine...
Sensitivity of selected geomagnetic properties to truncation level of spherical harmonic expansions
E.R. Benton, Ronald H. Estes, R.A. Langel, L.A. Muth
1982, Geophysical Research Letters (9) 254-257
A two day selection of MAGSAT data is fit by spherical harmonic series truncated at increasing levels NF in the range 2<NF<14 to determine the extent to which the geomagnetic Gauss coefficients depend upon truncation level of the fit. The dependence is found to be concentrated in the range n<NF≲n+4...

1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 2597-2609
Seismic refraction profiles recorded along the eastern Snake River Plain (ESRP) in southeastern Idaho during the 1978 Yellowstone-Snake River Plain cooperative seismic profiling experiment are interpreted to infer the crustal velocity and attenuation (Q-1) structure of the ESRP. Travel-time and synthetic seismogram modeling of a 250 km reversed refraction profile...
On the distribution of species occurrence
Martin A. Buzas, Carl F. Koch, Stephen J. Culver, Norman F. Sohl
1982, Paleobiology (8) 143-150
The distribution of species abundance (number of individuals per species) is well documented. The distribution of species occurrence (number of localities per species), however, has received little attention. This study investigates the distribution of species occurrence for five large data sets. For modern benthic foraminifera, species occurrence is examined from...
Paleo-oceanography of the Norwegian Sea during the past 130,000 years: Coccolithophorid and foraminferal data
P.E. Belanger
1982, Boreas (11) 29-36
Faunal, floral and sedimentological properties of Norwegian Sea core V27-86 were examined in order to reconstruct the paleo-oceanographic history of this region. Downcore variations in the relative abundance of three microfossil groups and several sediment properties exhibit three different climate response patterns (CRP). Each pattern is judged to represent the...
Kinematic evolution of the junction of the San Andreas, Garlock, and Big Pine faults, California
Robert G. Bohannon, David G. Howell
1982, Geology (10) 358-363
If the San Andreas fault with about 300 km of right slip, the Carlock fault with about 60 km of left slip, and the Big Pine fault with about 15 km of left slip are considered to have been contemporaneously active, a space problem at their high-angle junctions becomes apparent....
The Geoid: Effect of compensated topography and uncompensated oceanic trenches
C.G. Chase, Marcia K. McNutt
1982, Geophysical Research Letters (9) 29-32
The geoid is becoming increasingly important in interpretation of global tectonics. Most of the topography of the earth is isostatically compensated, so removal of its effect from the geoid is appropriate before tectonic modeling. The oceanic trenches, however, are dynamically depressed features and cannot be isostatically compensated in the classical...
