Sediment-hosted copper deposits of the world: Deposit models and database
Dennis P. Cox, David A. Lindsey, Donald A. Singer, Barry C. Moring, Michael F. Diggles
2003, Open-File Report 2003-107
Introduction This publication contains four descriptive models and four grade-tonnage models for sediment hosted copper deposits. Descriptive models are useful in exploration planning and resource assessment because they enable the user to identify deposits in the field and to identify areas on geologic and geophysical maps where deposits could occur. Grade...

Preliminary preview for a geographic and monitoring program project; a review of point source-nonpoint source effluent trading/offset systems in watersheds
Alexander Warren Wood, Richard L. Bernknopf
2003, Open-File Report 2003-79
Watershed-based trading and offset systems are being developed to improve policy-maker?s and regulator?s ability to assess nonpoint source impacts in watersheds and to evaluate the efficacy of using market-incentive programs for preserving environmental quality. An overview of the history of successful and failed trading programs throughout the United States suggests...
Descriptions of mineral occurrences and interpretation of mineralized rock geochemical data in the Stikine geophysical survey area, Southeastern Alaska

Preliminary analysis of cores from north San Francisco Bay, California
Dan Allison, Margaret Hampton, Bruce Jaffe
2003, Open-File Report 2003-111
During the mid-to late-1800's, large quantities of tailings from hydraulic gold mining in the Sierra Nevada were deposited in San Francisco Bay (Gilbert, 1917; Jaffe et al., 1998; Capiella et al., 1999). This rapid deposition also choked river systems and deposited mercury-contaminated sediments in the rivers and Bay. Hydraulic mining...
