Computer-enhanced LANDSAT imagery as a tool for mineral exploration in Alaska
Nairn Albert, Pat S. Chavez
1976, Open-File Report 76-65
Recent work in the Nabesna and McCarthy quadrangles, Alaska, indicates that computer-enhanced LANDSAT imagery shows many of the known mineral deposits and can help in the prediction of potential mineral occurrences. False color, "simulated natural color" and color ratio techniques, were used successfully in conjunction with a black and white,...

Measurement and prediction of sediment yields in Wisconsin streams
S. M. Hindall
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 75-54
Sediment data of some form have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 118 stream-gaging sites throughout Wisconsin, beginning in 1935. The average concentration of suspended sediment for Wisconsin streams is low in comparison with that of many streams in the United States—110 milligrams per litre for Wisconsin, as...
A technique for estimating the time of travel of water in Indiana streams
Stephen E. Eikenberry, Leroy G. Davis
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-9
Estimates of the traveltime of waterborne particles in streams is important for pollution studies and in the event of spills of contaminants. This report provides data for the 16 Indiana streams on which time-of-travel information has been obtained and a means for estimating the velocity of any naturally flowing stream...
Notes on a broad-band variant of the NCER seismic data multiplex system for use with field tape recorders
Jerry P. Eaton
1976, Open-File Report 76-87
Tests of the standard NCER multiplex system recorded and played back on both the Bell and Howell 3700B (about 0.1% tape speed variation) and on the Sony TC-126 cassette recorder (about 1% tape speed variation) showed that subtractive compensation employing a reference frequency multiplexed on the data track was remarkably...
Mapping and measuring land-cover characteristics of New River Basin, Tennessee, using Landsat digital tapes
E. F. Hollyday, S.P. Sauer
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-106
Land-cover information is needed to select subbasins within the New River basin, Tennessee, for the study of hydrologic processes and also is needed to transfer study results to other sites affected by coal mining. It was believed that data recorded by the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (Landsat-1) could be...
