Reconnaissance geology and geochronology of the Precambrian of the Granite Mountains, Wyoming
Zell E. Peterman, Robert A. Hildreth
1978, Professional Paper 1055
The Precambrian of the western part of the Granite Mountains, Wyoming, contains a metamorphic complex of gneisses, schists, and amphibolites that were derived through amphibolite-grade metamorphism from a sedimentary-volcanic sequence perhaps similar to that exposed in the southeastern Wind River Mountains. Whole-rock Rb-Sr dating places the time of metamorphism at...

Historic ground failures in Northern California triggered by earthquakes
T. Leslie Youd, Seena N. Hoose
1978, Professional Paper 993
A major source of earthquake-related damage and casualties in northern California has been ground failures generated by the seismic shaking, including landslides, lateral spreads, ground settlement, and surface cracks. The historical record shows that, except for offshore shocks, the geographic area affected and the quantity and general severity of ground...
Field determination of vertical permeability to air in the unsaturated zone
Edwin P. Weeks
1978, Professional Paper 1051
The vertical permeability to air of layered materials in the unsaturated zone may be determined from air pressure data obtained at depth during a period when air pressure is changing at land surface. Such data may be obtained by monitoring barometric pressure with a microbarograph or surveying altimeter and simultaneously...
Hydraulic geometry of river cross sections; theory of minimum variance
Garnett P. Williams
1978, Professional Paper 1029
This study deals with the rates at which mean velocity, mean depth, and water-surface width increase with water discharge at a cross section on an alluvial stream. Such relations often follow power laws, the exponents in which are called hydraulic exponents. The Langbein (1964) minimum-variance theory is examined in regard...
