Framework for Regional, Coordinated Monitoring in the Middle and Upper Deschutes River Basins, Oregon
Chauncey W. Anderson
2000, Open-File Report 2000-386
This report presents a framework for regional water-quality monitoring in the middle and upper Deschutes River Basin, Oregon, that would be coordinated among organizations doing related monitoring. The emphasis is on maximizing the value of existing programs and resources by minimizing overlapping sampling efforts, filling key data gaps, increasing communication...
Sawgrass density, biomass, and leaf area index: A flume study in support of research on wind sheltering effects in the Florida Everglades
Nancy B. Rybicki, Justin T. Reel, Henry A. Ruhl, Patricia T. Gammon, Virginia Carter, Jonathan K. Lee
2000, Open-File Report 2000-172
The U.S. Geological Survey is studying the wind sheltering effects of vegetation in the Florida Everglades. In order to test both the flow resistance and wind sheltering effects of sawgrass, uniform dense stands of sawgrass were grown in a tilting flume at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. In June, 1997, one...

South Sumatra Basin Province, Indonesia; the Lahat/Talang Akar-Cenozoic total petroleum system
Michele G. Bishop
2000, Open-File Report 99-50-S
Oil and gas are produced from the onshore South Sumatra Basin Province. The province consists of Tertiary half-graben basins infilled with carbonate and clastic sedimentary rocks unconformably overlying pre-Tertiary metamorphic and igneous rocks. Eocene through lower Oligocene lacustrine shales and Oligocene through lower Miocene lacustrine and deltaic coaly shales are...
Ecology and demographics of Pacific sand lance, Ammodytes hexapterus Pallas, in Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Martin D. Robards, John F. Piatt
2000, Report
Distinct sand lance populations occur within the relatively small geographic area of Lower Cook Inlet, Alaska. Marked meso-scale differences in abundance, growth, and mortality exist as a consequence of differing oceanographic regimes. Growth rate within populations (between years) was positively correlated with temperature. However, this did not extend to inter-population...
Land-subsidence and ground-water storage monitoring in the Tucson Active Management Area, Arizona
Don R. Pool, Daniel Winster, K. C. Cole
2000, Fact Sheet 084-00
The Tucson Active Management Area (TAMA) comprises two basins--Tucson Basin and Avra Valley. The TAMA has been directed by Arizona ground-water law to attain an annual balance between groundwater withdrawals and recharge by the year 2025. This balance is defined by the statute as "safe yield." Current ground-water withdrawals exceed...
Preliminary simulation of a M6.5 earthquake on the Seattle Fault using 3D finite-difference modeling
William J. Stephenson, Arthur D. Frankel
2000, Open-File Report 2000-339
A three-dimensional finite-difference simulation of a moderate-sized (M 6.5) thrust-faulting earthquake on the Seattle fault demonstrates the effects of the Seattle Basin on strong ground motion in the Puget lowland. The model area includes the cities of Seattle, Bremerton and Bellevue. We use a recently developed detailed 3D-velocity model of...
Principal facts for gravity stations in the vicinity of Coyote Spring Valley, Nevada, with initial gravity modeling results
Geoffrey A. Phelps, E. B. Jewel, V.E. Langenheim, R.C. Jachens
2000, Open-File Report 2000-420
Gravity measurements were made along 5 profiles across parts of the Coyote Spring Valley and vicinity in order to aid in modeling the depth and shapes of the underlying basins and to locate faults concealed beneath the basin fill. Measurements were taken at 200 m (660 ft) spacing along the...

Investigation of the geology and hydrology of the Mogollon Highlands of central Arizona: a project of the Arizona Rural Watershed Initiative
John T.C. Parker, Marilyn E. Flynn
2000, Fact Sheet 159-00
The Mogollon Highlands of east central Arizona is a region of forested plateau and mountains, deep, sheerwalled canyons, and desert valleys. Known for its scenic beauty and characterized by a generally mild climate, the area, though still sparsely populated, attracts an increasing number of tourists and summer residents. Furthermore, the...
