Use of an airborne Fraunhofer line discriminator for the detection of solar stimulated luminescence
Robert D. Watson, William R. Hemphill
1976, Open-File Report 76-202
Luminescence is the property of some materials to emit light when excited by external stimuli such as ultraviolet or visible light or by chemical or mechanical action. The Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLO) is an airborne electro-optical device which operates as a non-imaging radiometer and permits detection of solar stimulated luminescence...

Earl E. Webber, William P. Bartlett
1976, Open-File Report 76-768
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude ant frequency of floods on Ohio streams. .Regression analysis is used to develop equations which relate physical and climatic factors of river basins to peak discharge at stream gaging stations. The equations can be used to estimate flood magnitudes with recurrence intervals from...

The system of springs in Delta County, Colo., contains geochemical clues to the nature and location of buried uranium-mineralized rock. The springs, which occur along the Gunnison River and a principal tributary between Delta and Paonia, are regarded as evidence of a still-functioning hydrothermal system. Associated with the springs are...

1976, Open-File Report 76-338
From November 1973 to October 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey drilled four deep test holes to supplement hydrologic and geophysical studies evaluating fresh ground water in the basins of westernmost Texas. For each test, samples of drill cuttings were collect·ed, borehole geophysical logs were run, and water samples were collected...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the San Bernardino Valley area, Cochise County, Arizona -- 1975
R. P. Wilson
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-81
Arizona is divided into 67 ground-water areas, and individual areas are selected for intensive data collection once every 6 years. The data collected in the San Bernardino Valley area are given on maps that show depth to water, well depth, and altitude of the water level; and dissolved-solids and fluoride...

1976, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (42) 1315-1324
An uncontrolled thermographic mosaic, which covers most of the area of Yellowstone National Park, has been compiled. The recording of aerial thermographic data on videotape is established as one of the prerequisites for the preparation of more accurate mosaics. Post-mission processing of the videotape record can rectify the nadir line...

Limnological data for the major streams in Chester County, Pennsylvania
Bruce W. Lium
1976, Report
Limnological data on major streams in Chester County, Pennsylvania are tabulated to provide a base line as to the present stream conditions. As land-use patterns change and further urbanization takes place, it is anticipated that these data will serve as a basis for comparison of conditions in the future. The...

Twenty-nine thermal conductivity determinations on eight cores give a mean conductivity of...
Episodic strain accumulation in Southern California
W. Thatcher
1976, Science (194) 691-695
Reexamination of horizontal geodetic data in the region of recently discovered aseismic uplift has demonstrated that equally unusual horizontal crustal deformation accompanied the development of the uplift. During this time interval compressive strains were oriented roughly normal to the San Andreas fault, suggesting that the uplift produced little shear strain...
