Revised techniques for estimating magnitude and frequency of floods in Montana
Charles Parrett, R. J. Omang
1981, Open-File Report 81-917
Relations for estimating the flood magnitudes for ungaged sites in Montana have been updated. The State was divided into eight regions and separate multiple-regression equations for each region were developed that relate logarithms of annual flood magnitude to logarithms of basin characteristics for exceedance probabilities of 50, 20, 10, 4,...

Petrogenetic modeling of a potential uranium source rock, Granite Mountains, Wyoming
J. S. Stuckless, A.T. Miesch
1981, Professional Paper 1225
Previous studies of the granite of Lankin Dome have led to the conclusion that this granite was a source for the sandstone-type uranium deposits in the basins that surround the Granite Mountains, Wyo. Q-mode factor analysis of 29 samples of this granite shows that five bulk compositions are required to...
Biogeochemical variability of plants at native and altered sites, San Juan Basin, New Mexico
L. P. Gough, R. C. Severson
1981, Professional Paper 1134-D
The San Juan Basin is becoming a major energy resource region. The anticipated increase in strip mining for coal can be expected to alter the geochemical and biogeochemical environment. because such activities destroy the native vegetation communities, rearrange the rock strata, and disrupt natural soil development. This study investigated the...
Selected drill-stem-test data from the Northern Great Plains area of Montana
Gary W. Levings
