Nonfuel mineral resources in the United States-Mexico border region: A progress report on information available from the Center for Inter-American Mineral Resource Investigations (CIMRI)
G. J. Orris, N.J. Page, J. G. Staude, K. S. Bolm, M. M. Carbonaro, Floyd Gray, K. R. Long
1993, Circular 1098
The exploitation of minerals has played a significant role in population growth and development of the U.S.Mexico border region. Recent proposed changes in regulations related to mining in the United States and changes in mining and investment regulations in Mexico have led to increased mineral exploration and development in Mexico,...
International strategic minerals inventory summary report; niobium (columbium) and tantalum
R.N. Crockett, D. M. Sutphin
1993, Circular 930-M
Major world resources of niobium and tantalum are described in this summary report of information in the International Strategic Minerals Inventory (ISMI). ISMI is a cooperative data-collection effort of earth-science and mineral-resource agencies in Australia, Canada, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of South Africa, the United Kingdom, and...
Flood discharges in the upper Mississippi River basin, 1993
Charles Parrett, Nick B. Melcher, Robert W. James Jr.
1993, Circular 1120-A
From mid-June through early August 1993, flooding was severe in the upper Mississippi River Basin following a wet-weather pattern that persisted over the area for at least 6 months before the flood. The magnitude and timing of several intense rainstorms in late June and July, combined with wet antecedent climatic...
Precipitation in the upper Mississippi River basin, January 1 through July 31, 1993
Kenneth L. Wahl, Kevin C. Vining, Gregg J. Wiche
1993, Circular 1120-B
Excessive precipitation produced severe flooding in a nine-State area in the upper Mississippi River Basin during spring and summer 1993. Following a spring that was wetter than average, weather patterns that persisted from early June through July caused the upper Midwest to be deluged with an unusually large amount of...
Understanding our fragile environment; Lessons from geochemical studies
Larry P. Gough, Sigrid Asher-Bolinder, Laurie S. Balistrieri, George N. Breit, Thomas J. Casadevall, James G. Crock, Kimberley I. Cunningham, Joseph S. Duval, James A. Erdman, Barbara M. Erickson, Walter H. Ficklin, Larry L. Jackson, Rama K. Kotra, Joel S. Leventhal, James M. McNeal, William R. Miller, James K. Otton, Douglass E. Owen, Geoffrey S. Plumlee, G. Michael Reimer, Ronald C. Severson, Kathleen S. Smith, Ronald R. Tidball, Robert A. Zielinski
1993, Circular 1105
An understanding of our fragile environment can begin with a recognition of the importance of certain elements, commonly called "minerals substances" (such as iron and zinc), in the lives of humans and animals and in the soils that support plants. This recognition is well deserved because these elements are essential...
Statistics of petroleum exploration in the Caribbean, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, Africa, non-communist Asia, and the southwestern Pacific
E. D. Attanasi, David H. Root
1993, Circular 1096
This circular presents a summary of the geographic location, amount, and results of petroleum exploration, including an atlas showing explored and delineated prospective areas through 1990. The data show that wildcat well drilling has continued through the last decade to expand the prospective area by about 40,000 to 50,000 square...
Occurrence and transport of agricultural chemicals in the Mississippi River basin, July through August 1993
Donald A. Goolsby, William A. Battaglin, E. Michael Thurman
1993, Circular 1120-C
Heavy rainfall and severe flooding in the upper Mississippi River Basin from mid-June through early August 1993 flushed extraordinarily large amounts of agricultural chemicals (herbicides and nitrate) into the Mississippi River, many of its tributaries, and, ultimately, the Gulf of Mexico. Even though extremely high streamflows were recorded during the...
The future of energy gases
Peter J. McCabe, Donald L. Gautier, Michael D. Lewan, Christine Turner
1993, Circular 1115

The Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program; background information to accompany folio of geologic, geochemical, remote sensing, and mineral resources maps of the Butte 1 degree x 2 degrees Quadrangle, Montana
James E. Elliott, C. M. Trautwein, C. A. Wallace, G. K. Lee, L. C. Rowan, W. F. Hanna
1993, Circular 1088
The Butte 1?x2 ? quadrangle in west-central Montana was investigated as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP). These investigations included geologic mapping, geochemical surveys, gravity and aeromagnetic surveys, examinations of mineral deposits, and specialized geochronologic and remote-sensing studies. The data collected during these...
Estimated use of water in the United States in 1990
Wayne B. Solley, Robert R. Pierce, Howard A. Perlman
1993, Circular 1081
Water withdrawals in the United States during 1990 were estimated to average 408,000 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) of freshwater and saline water for offstream uses--2 percent more than the 1985 estimate. Total freshwater withdrawals were an estimated 339,000 Mgal/d during 1990, about the same as during 1985. Average per-capita...
International strategic minerals inventory summary report; rare-earth oxides
W.D. Jackson, Grey Christiansen
1993, Circular 930-N
Bastnaesite, monazite, and xenotime are currently the most important rare-earth minerals. Bastnaesite occurs as a primary mineral in carbonatites. Monazite and xenotime also can be found in primary deposits but are recovered principally from heavy-mineral placers that are mined for titanium or tin. Each of these minerals has a different...
Mineral resource assessment of the Dillon 1° x 2° quadrangle, Idaho and Montana
Robert Carl Pearson, C. M. Trautwein, E. T. Ruppel, W. F. Hanna, L. C. Rowan, J. S. Loen, B. R. Berger
1992, Circular 1077
The Dillon 1°x2° quadrangle in southwestern Montana and east-central Idaho was investigated as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) to determine its mineral resource potential. An interdisciplinary study was made of geology, geochemistry, geophysics (gravity and aeromagnetics), remote sensing, and mineral deposits. The...
International strategic minerals inventory summary report; zirconium
R.R. Towner
1992, Circular 930-L
Zircon, a zirconium silicate, is currently the most important commercial zirconium-bearing mineral. Baddeleyite, a natural form of zirconia, is less important but has some specific end uses. Both zircon and baddeleyite occur in hard-rock and placer deposits, but at present all zircon production is from placer deposits. Most baddeleyite production...
