1980, Open-File Report 79-1545
The Sheffield low-level radioactive-waste disposal site is located on 20 acres of rolling terrain about 3 miles southwest of Sheffield, Illinois. Twenty-one trenches were constructed and filled with radioactive waste from August 1967 through April 1978. Forty-three test wells were installed by the U.S. Geological Survey on and adjacent to...

1980, Open-File Report 80-320
A total of 250 kilometers of single-channel seismic-reflection data (28 minisparker profiles) were collected in the coastal waters of Massachusetts, north of and immediately south of Cape Ann, and on the western flank of Jeffreys Ledge, western Gulf of Maine, during the September 1978 cruise of the R/V ASTERIAS. The...

1980, Open-File Report 80-1185
Selected hydrologic data collected in 1975-80 as part of water-quality investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey in Pueblo and southeastern Fremont Counties, Colo., are presented in this report. The data, in tabular form, consist of streamflow-discharge measurements for 33 sites, channel-geometry measurements for 97 sites, traveltime data for 12 sites,...
Preliminary data describing the distribution of fluoride and silica in the water in the Ogallala aquifer on the High Plains of Texas
R.L. Bassett, S.G. Perkins, R. K. Waddell
1980, Open-File Report 80-349
The Ogallala aquifer of Texas historically has been known for elevated fluoride concentration, with many areas in excess of 4 milligrams per liter. In addition, on a regional scale, silica concentrations are also somewhat elevated, with concentrations averaging in the 40 to 50 milligrams per liter range. This aquifer provides...

Geologic and operational summary, COST No. G-2 well, Georges Bank area, North Atlantic OCS
Roger V. Amato, Edvardas K. Simonis, editor(s)
1980, Open-File Report 80-269
The Continental Offshore Stratigraphic Test (COST) No. G-2 well is the second deep well to be drilled in the Georges Bank Basin and the third in a series of COST wells on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The G-2 was drilled by Ocean Production Company, acting as the operator...

Map data catalog
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1980, Report
The National Cartographic Information Center (NCIC) is the information branch of the National Mapping Program, U.S. Geological Survey. NCIC's mission is to help users gain better, faster, low-cost access to the cartographic holdings of Federal, State, and private agencies. This catalog tells how to order a wide range of mapping byproducts...
Trends in the distribution of recent foraminifera in San Francisco Bay
R.E. Arnal, P. J. Quinterno, T. J. Conomos, Ralph Gram
1980, Cushman Foundation Special Publication (19) 17-39
Much of the bathymetry of the southern part of San Francisco Bay reflects the drainage pattern of late Pleistocene streams. Holocene estuarine silt and clay cover most of the bay floor; relict eolian and deltaic sand occurs along the eastern shore; sandy patches are present in the main channel owing...
Coastal ocean dynamics
J. Allen, R. Beardsley, W. Brown, D.A. Cacchione, R. Davis, C. Friehe, W. Grant, Adriana Huyer, J. Irish, M. Janopaul, A. Williams, Clinton D. Winant
1980, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (64) 538-540
The main objective of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) is to observe and describe the response of continental shelf waters to strong atmospheric forcing in a relatively simple geomorphological setting. In order to achieve this goal, CODE has been designed (1) to define the different space and time scales...
Coincident sediment slump/clathrate complexes on the U.S. Atlantic continental slope
George B. Carpenter
1980, Geo-Marine Letters (1) 29-32
High-resolution seismic reflection data recorded on the continental slope off the east coast of the United States have revealed instances of sediment mass movement (slumps) which appear to occur above clathrate accumulations. The slumping is believed to be related to the liberation of free gas by clathrate decomposition and consequent...

Neogene diatoms from Petersburg, Virginia
George W. Andrews
1980, Micropaleontology (26) 17-48
Sixty-two diatom taxa have been identified from a diatomaceous sandy clay that crops out near the outlet of Wilcox Lake, Petersburg. Virginia. These diatoms are mostly cosmopolitan marine forms, but some species suggest deposition in brackish water that had a freshwater inflow. The regional stratigraphy, as well as the pelecypods...
Geology of the Ridge and Valley Province, northwestern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania
Jack B. Epstein
1980, Conference Paper, Field studies of New Jersey geology and guide to field trips; 52nd annual meeting of the New York State Geological Association
The rocks seen in this segment of the field trip range in age from Middle Ordovician to Middle Devonian and constitute a deep basin-continental-shallow shelf succession. Within this succession, three lithotectonic units, or sequences of rock that were deformed semi-independently of each other, have somewhat different structural characteristics. Both the...
Uranium contents of glassy and devitrified andesites and dacites, Mount Mazama, Oregon
D. C. Noble, W.I. Rose, Robert A. Zielinski
1980, Economic Geology (75) 127-129
By direct comparison of devitrified and granophyrically crystallized specimens with nonhydrated glassy materials from the same units, Rosholt and coworkers (Rosholt and Noble, 1969; Rosholt et al., 1971) showed that specimens of primarily crystallized but otherwise unaltered peralkaline and subalkaline rhyolite from the western United States had lost from 30...
Hydrology comes of age: Impact of the International Hydrological Decade
R. L. Nace
1980, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (61) 1241-1241
The IHD (International Hydrological Decade), 1965 to 1974, was conceived as a concerted international effort to bring into focus the badly fragmented subdiscipline of hydrology, to evolve a global perspective on water, and to provide global information on water. Until the last decade or so, hydrology was a laggard science....
Uranium in secondary silica: A possible exploration guide
Robert A. Zielinski
1980, Economic Geology (75) 592-602
Study of uraniferous silica precipitates in the Shirley Basin, Wyoming, identified areas where ancient uraniferous ground water once ponded. Chalcedony collected from and directly beneath thick accumulations of rhyolite ash contain as much as 250 ppm uranium in a pre-ash topographic low and lesser concentrations (10 to 160 ppm) elsewhere....
Calcite-impregnated defluidization structures in littoral sands of Mono Lake, California
P. Cloud, K. R. Lajoie
1980, Science (210) 1009-1012
Associated locally with well-known tufa mounds and towers of Mono Lake, California, are subvertical, concretionary sand structures through which fresh calcium-containing artesian waters moved up to sites of calcium carbonate precipitation beneath and adjacent to the lake. The structures include closely spaced calcite-impregnated columns, tubes, and other configurations with subcylindrical...
