Geometeorological data collected by the USGS Desert Winds Project at Desert Wells, Sonoran Desert, central-west Arizona, 1981 - 1996
Paula J. Helm, Carol S. Breed, Richard Tigges, Shawn Creighton
1998, Open-File Report 98-361
The data in this report were obtained by instruments deployed on a GOES-satellite data collection station operated by the U.S. Geological Survey Desert Winds Project at Desert Wells (latitude 33° 42' 08" N, longitude 113° 48' 40" W), La Paz County, west-central Arizona. The elevation is 344 m (1,130 ft)....
Publications of the Volcano Hazards Program 1997
Manuel Nathenson
1998, Open-File Report 98-618
The Volcano Hazards Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is part of the Geologic Hazards Assessments subactivity as funded by Congressional appropriation. Investigations are carried out in the Geologic and Water Resources Divisions of the USGS and with cooperators at the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, University...
Magnitude and frequency of the floods of January 1997 in northern and central California; preliminary determinations
Richard A. Hunrichs, David A. Pratt, Robert W. Meyer
1998, Open-File Report 98-626
Preliminary determinations of the magnitude and frequency of peak flows resulting from the storms of December 1996 and January 1997 were made at 292 streamflow gaging stations located in 45 counties in northern and central California. Peak flows were the largest on record at 106 stations, and recurrence intervals were...
Concentrations, loads, and yields of selected water-quality constituents during low flow and storm runoff from three watersheds at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, May 1994 through September 1996
Patrick P. Rasmussen
1998, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4001
A study of the effects of storm runoff from urban areas on water quality at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, was conducted from May 1994 through September 1996. The purpose of this report is to present information to assess the current (1994-96) conditions and possible methods for anticipating future water-quality effects from...
Preliminary estimates of benthic fluxes of dissolved metals in Coeur d'Alene Lake, Idaho
Laurie S. Balistrieri
1998, Open-File Report 98-793
This report presents porewater and selected water column data collected from Coeur d'Alene Lake in September of 1992. Despite probable oxidation of the porewater samples during collection and handling, these data are used to calculate molecular diffusive fluxes of dissolved metals (that is, Zn, Pb, Cu, and Mn) across the...
Volcano hazards from Mount Rainier, Washington, revised 1998
R. Hoblitt, J. S. Wilder, C. L. Driedger, K. M. Scott, P. T. Pringle, J.W. Vallance
1998, Open-File Report 98-428
Mount Rainier—at 4393 meters (14,410 feet) the highest peak in the Cascade Range—is a dormant volcano whose load of glacier ice exceeds that of any other mountain in the conterminous United States. This tremendous mass of rock and ice, in combination with great topographic relief, poses a variety of geologic...
Catalog of the historically active volcanoes of Alaska
T. P. Miller, R. G. McGimsey, D.H. Richter, J.R. Riehle, C.J. Nye, M. E. Yount, Julie A. Dumoulin
1998, Open-File Report 98-582
Alaska hosts within its borders over 80 major volcanic centers that have erupted during Holocene time (< 10,000 years). At least 29 of these volcanic centers (table 1) had historical eruptions and 12 additional volcanic centers may have had historical eruptions. Historical in Alaska generally means the period since 1760...
Physical characteristics of dungeness crab and halibut habitats in Glacier Bay
Guy R. Cochrane, Paul R. Carlson, Jane F. Denny, Michael E. Boyle, S. James Taggart, Philip N. Hooge
1998, Open-File Report 98-791
In Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska there are ongoing studies of Dungeness Crab (Cancer magister) and Pacific Halibut (Hippoglosus stenolepis). Scientists of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) are attempting to ascertain life history, distribution, and abundance, and to determine the effects of commercial fishing in the park (Carlson et...
Bulk densities and porosities of Cenozoic and Cretaceous basin-filling strata and Cretaceous and older basement rocks, Los Angeles Basin, California, determined from measurements of core samples
L. A. Beyer, T. H. McCulloh
1998, Open-File Report 98-788
This report describes and provides a digital data file of selected bulk properties of subsurface rocks sampled in and around Los Angeles basin, California. Selected properties include measured dry bulk density (range 0.78 to 3.01 g/cm3), measured or estimated grain (matrix) density, calculated water saturated bulk density (range 1.47 to...
Diatom paleoecology Pass Key core 37, Everglades National Park, Florida Bay
Laura Pyle, S. R. Cooper, J.K. Huvane
1998, Open-File Report 98-522
During the 20th century, there have been large-scale anthropogenic modifications to the South Florida ecosystem. The effects of these changes on Florida Bay and its biological communities are currently of political and scientific interest. This study is part of a larger effort to reconstruct the history of environmental changes in...
Preliminary report on coal resources of the Wyodak-Anderson coal zone, Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana
Margaret S. Ellis, Gregory L. Gunther, Romeo M. Flores, Allen M. Ochs, Gary D. Stricker, Steven B. Roberts, Thomas T. Taber, Lisa R. Bader, John H. Schuenemeyer
1998, Open-File Report 98-789-A
The National Coal Resource Assessment (NCRA) project by the U.S. Geological Survey is designed to assess US coal with the greatest potential for development in the next 20 to 30 years. Coal in the Wyodak-Anderson (WA) coal zone in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and Montana is plentiful, clean, and compliant with...
Corrections to "Estimating earthquake location and magnitude from seismic intensity data"
W. H. Bakun, C. M. Wentworth
1998, Open-File Report 98-614
The confidence parameters in Table 5 and Figures 7 -12 in Bakun and Wentworth (1997) were calculated using the site corrections for MI(4) rather than Bakun and Wentworth's (1997) preferred relation MI(3). The conclusions of Bakun and Wentworth (1997) are not changed by these corrections. The corrected Table 5 and...
Modified Mercalli intensities for some recent California earthquakes and historic San Francisco Bay Region earthquakes
William H. Bakun
1998, Open-File Report 98-584
Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) data for recent California earthquakes were used by Bakun and Wentworth (1997) to develop a strategy for bounding the location and moment magnitude M of earthquakes from MMI observations only. Bakun (Bull. Seismol. Soc. Amer., submitted) used the Bakun and Wentworth (1997) strategy to analyze 19th...
