1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4131
A project was undertaken by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency to demonstrate methods by which RCRA (Resources Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976) Part B permit applications might be evaluated. The purpose of the project was to prepare a report that would...

Field and laboratory procedures used in a soil chronosequence study
Michael J. Singer, Peter Janitzky, editor(s)
1986, Bulletin 1648
In 1978, the late Denis Marchand initiated a research project entitled "Soil Correlation and Dating at the U.S. Geological Survey" to determine the usefulness of soils in solving geologic problems. Marchand proposed to establish soil chronosequences that could be dated independently of soil development by using radiometric and other numeric...
Selected papers in the hydrologic sciences, 1986
Seymour Subitzky, editor(s)
1986, Water Supply Paper 2290
West Point Reservoir is a multiple-purpose project on the Chattahoochee River about 112 river kilometers downstream from Atlanta on the Alabama-Georgia border. Urbanization has placed large demands on the Chattahoochee River, and water quality below Atlanta was degraded even before impoundment. Water-quality, bottom-sediment, and fish-tissue samples were collected from the...

Applications of U.S. Geological Survey digital cartographic products, 1979-1983
Thomas R. Loveland, Benjamin S. Ramey
1986, Bulletin 1583
The U.S. Geological Survey prepares and distributes fundamental, multipurpose cartographic data to a wide range of users throughout the United States. Recognizing that traditional cartographic procedures will eventually be replaced by digital techniques, the USGS is now actively developing computer-based methods to produce digital cartographic products. The digital cartographic products...

Hydrology and water quality of the Edwards Aquifer associated with Barton Springs in the Austin area, Texas
Raymond M. Slade Jr., Michael E. Dorsey, Sheree L. Stewart
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4036
Urban development over the Edwards aquifer in the Austin, Texas, area has caused concerns about the availability and quality of water in the aquifer. The study area, the Edwards aquifer that discharges to Barton Springs, includes parts of Travis and Hays Counties and extends from the city of Kyle to...

Cretaceous paleoceanography of the western North Atlantic Ocean
Michael A. Arthur, Walter E. Dean
1986, Book chapter, The Western North Atlantic Region
In this paper we summarize available information on the Cretaceous lithostratigraphy and paleoceanography of the western North Atlantic. The data and some of our interpretations draw in large part on papers published in the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) volumes. We have attempted to cite relevant references when possible, but...
Morphology and age of fault scarps in the Rio Grande Rift, south-central Colorado
Steven M. Colman, William P. Rogers, R. M. Kirkham
William P. Rogers, Robert M. Kirkham, editor(s)
1986, Report, Contributions to Colorado Seisrnicity and Tectonics: A 1986 Update
Fault scarps in the Rio Grande rift of Colorado provide most of the evidence of paleoseismicity in the state, and are thus a major focus of assessments of earthquake hazards. Critical components of such assessments are the ages of past faulting events; age control is scarce and generally coarse for...

Mississippi embayment aquifer system in Mississippi: Geohydrologic data compilation for flow model simulation
J. K. Arthur, R.E. Taylor
1986, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (22) 1021-1029
As part of the Gulf Coast Regional Aquifer System Analysis (GC RASA) study, data from 184 geophysical well logs were used to define the geohydrologic framework of the Mississippi embayment aquifer system in Mississippi for flow model simulation. Five major aquifers of Eocene and Paleocene age were defined within this...
Changing climate: Geothermal evidence from permafrost in the Alaskan Arctic
Arthur H. Lachenbruch, B. Vaughan Marshall
1986, Science (234) 689-696
Temperature profiles measured in permafrost in northernmost Alaska usually have anomalous curvature in the upper 100 meters or so. When analyzed by heat-conduction theory, the profiles indicate a variable but widespread secular warming of the permafrost surface, generally in the range of 2 to 4 Celsius degrees during the last...
