Fluid-Inclusion Petrology - Data from Porphyry Copper Deposits and Applications to Exploration
J. Thomas Nash
1976, Professional Paper 907-D
Fluid-inclusion studies of 37 porphyry copper deposits, mainly in the United States, demonstrate that all but 3 evolved through a hydrothermal stage characterized by very high salinities, generally in excess of about 35 weight percent NaCI equivalent. Temperatures of these fluids ranged from about 250 deg to 700 deg C...
Status of the National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX); September 1976

1976, Open-File Report 76-719
The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX) has been established to assist users of water data in the identification, location, and acquisition of needed data. NAWDEX is not a depository of water data; its objectives are to provide the user with sufficient information to define what data are available, where these...
Basic data on urban storm-water quality, Portland, Oregon
Stuart W. McKenzie, Timothy L. Miller
1976, Open-File Report 76-594
To assess urban storm-water-quality characteristics in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oreg., seven drainage basins were selected with varying drainage areas, basin slopes, impervious areas, land uses, and active construction areas. Automatic water-quality samplers, rain gages, and stream gages were installed in each basin. From September 1, 1975, to may...
Tilt changes of short duration
Stuart McHugh
1976, Open-File Report 76-750
Section I of this report contains a classification scheme for short period tilt data. For convenience, all fluctuations in the local tilt field of less than 24 hours duration will be designated SP (i.e., short period) tilt events. Three basic categories of waveshape appearance are defined, and the rules for...

Quality-of-water data, Palm Beach County, Florida, 1970-1975
Wesley L. Miller, Arthur C. Lietz
1976, Open-File Report 76-784
One of the most pressing problems of Palm Beach County, Florida, is the present and potential contamination of the surface and ground-water resources. The canals which dissect the urban and agricultural areas are convenient receptacles for storm-water runoff, sewage effluent, and agricultural wastes. Contaminants in the canals may enter the...
Ground-water levels in observation wells in Oklahoma, 1971-74
Robert L. Goemaat
1976, Open-File Report 76-664
The objectives of the observation-well program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate the future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for use in basic research. These selected records serve as a...
Sediment characteristics of streams in the eastern Piedmont and western Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina
