Migratory bird pathways and the Gulf of Mexico: Importance of Louisiana's coast
Gregory J. Smith, Wylie Barrow
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3069
Because of its geographic position, Louisiana plays an important role in the hemispheric-scale phenomenon known as the Nearctic-Neotropical bird migration system. Each year millions of landbirds migrate across or near to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Birds migrate in large, broad fronts that sometimes exceed 2 million individuals,...

Introduction: This map depicts the potentiometric surface of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the St. Johns River Water Management District and vicinity in September 2004. Potentiometric contours are based on water-level measurements collected at 608 wells during the period September 14-October 1, near the end of the wet season....
Flood of September 18-19, 2004 in the Upper Delaware River Basin, New York
Lloyd T. Brooks
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1166
The interaction between the remnants of tropical depression Ivan and a frontal boundary in the upper Delaware River basin on September 18-19, 2004, produced 4 to more than 6 inches of rainfall over a 5-county area within a 24-hour period. Significant flooding occurred on the East Branch Delaware River and...
Graphical viewer for displaying locations and logs of selected wells and test holes in Putnam County, New York
Stephen W. Wolcott
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1198
Aquifers (water bearing geologic units) are the primary source of drinking water in most of Putnam County, N.Y. The principal sources of data used to define the geometry and hydraulic characteristics of aquifers are the logs of wells and test holes within the county. This report explains how to use...

Porphyry copper deposits of the world: database, map, and grade and tonnage models
Donald A. Singer, Vladimir Iosifovich Berger, Barry C. Moring
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1060
Mineral deposit models are important in exploration planning and quantitative resource assessments for two reasons: (1) grades and tonnages among deposit types are significantly different, and (2) many types occur in different geologic settings that can be identified from geologic maps. Mineral deposit models are the keystone in combining the...
Thermal maturity patterns (CAI and %Ro) in the Ordovician and Devonian rocks of the Appalachian basin in West Virginia
John E. Repetski, Robert T. Ryder, Katharine Lee Avary, Michael H. Trippi
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1078
The objective of this study is to enhance existing thermal maturity maps in West Virginia by establishing: 1) new subsurface CAI data points for the Ordovician and Devonian and 2) new %Ro and Rock Eval subsurface data points for Middle and Upper Devonian black shale units. Thermal maturity values for...
Height changes along selected lines through the Death Valley region, California and Nevada, 1905-1984
Robert O. Castle, Thomas D. Gilmore, James P. Walker, Susan A. Castle
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1133
Comparisons among repeated levelings along selected lines through the Death Valley region of California and adjacent parts of Nevada have disclosed surprisingly large vertical displacements. The vertical control data in this lightly populated area is sparse; moreover, as much as a third of the recovered data is so thoroughly contaminated...
Major- and trace-element concentrations in soils from two continental-scale transects of the United States and Canada
David B. Smith, William F. Cannon, Laurel G. Woodruff, Robert G. Garrett, Rodney Klassen, James E. Kilburn, John D. Horton, Harley D. King, Martin B. Goldhaber, Jean M. Morrison
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1253
This report contains major- and trace-element concentration data for soil samples collected from 265 sites along two continental-scale transects in North America. One of the transects extends from northern Manitoba to the United States-Mexico border near El Paso, Tex. and consists of 105 sites. The other transect approximately follows the...
Mercury recycling in the United States in 2000
William E. Brooks, Grecia R. Matos
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1236
Reclamation and recycling of mercury from used mercury- containing products and treatment of byproduct mercury from gold mining is vital to the continued, though declining, use of this metal. Mercury is reclaimed from mercury-containing waste by treatment in multistep high-temperature retorts-the mercury is volatized and then condensed for purification and...

Introduction to suspended-sediment sampling
K. Michael Nolan, John R. Gray, G. Douglas Glysson
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5077
Knowledge of the amount and timing of sediment transport in streams is important to those directly or indirectly responsible for developing and managing water and land resources. Such data are often used to judge the health of watershed and the success or failure of activities designed to mitigate adverse impacts...

Gregory J. Smith, Wylie Barrow
2005, Fact Sheet 2005-3067
Nearly all Neotropical migratory landbird species of the eastern United States as well as many western species use Louisiana and the northern Gulf of Mexico coast during their transcontinental migrations each spring and fall. Radar has determined that hundreds of millions of birds make the nocturnal crossing of the Gulf...
