Strain accumulation along the San Andreas fault system east of San Francisco Bay, California
W.H. Prescott, M. Lisowski
1983, Tectonophysics (97) 41-56
The occurrence of several large earthquakes to the east of San Francisco Bay during historical times, and present high levels of microseismicity, indicate that a significant part of the relative plate motion may be occurring east of San Francisco Bay. Furthermore, the Hayward fault is known to be slipping aseismically...

C. A. Armstrong
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4242
Water logging and flooding of some roads and agricultural lands have become a problem in the Lake Nettie area of eastern McLean County. Part of the flooding is caused by the raising of Lake Audubon about 13 feet from an elevation of about 1,835 feet to 1,848 feet and its...

The Emma Bell deposit, Siskiyou Co., California: A possible low-grade source of chromite
B. R. Lipin, Nicholas Wetzel, S. M. Heinrich
1983, Open-File Report 83-816
The Emma Bell chromite deposit in Siskiyou County, California contains over 5 million tons of dunite averaging about 4 percent Cr2O3. Chromite is not evenly disseminated throughout the dunite, however. For the most part the deposit consists of many chromite-rich bands in sharp contact with, and separated by, common dunite...

Chronology of late Pleistocene and Holocene volcanics, Long Valley and Mono Basin geothermal areas, eastern California
S. H. Wood
1983, Open-File Report 83-747
Hydration-rind ages based on hydration-rind thicknesses of obsidian and an assumed hydration rate of 5 microns /1000 yrs have been determined for the 26 exposed Mono domes and coulees. Hydration-rind thickness data give good estimates of relative age differences between the domes, but determination of absolute ages will depend upon...
Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1981
Roberto Perez
1983, Open-File Report 83-35
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin and Houston. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas metropolitan area...
Comparative anatomy of epithermal precious- and base-metal districts hosted by volcanic rocks: A talk presented at the GAC/MSC/GGU Joint Annual Meeting, May 11-13, 1983, Victoria, British Columbia
Pamela Heald-Wetlaufer, Daniel O. Hayba, Nora K. Foley, J.A. Goss
1983, Open-File Report 83-710
In order to distinguish dissimilar from similar features of epithermal districts, lithotectonic, mineralogical and geochemical traits are compiled for 15 such districts. The districts occur in structurally complex settings associated with silicic to intermediate volcanics. Affiliation with subduction environments on a continental scale and caldera settings on a regional scale...

Petroleum geology and resources of southeastern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and Belize
James A. Peterson
1983, Circular 760
Petroleum deposits in southeastern Mexico and Guatemala occur in two main basinal provinces, the Gulf Coast Tertiary basin area, which includes the Reforma and offshore Campeche Mesozoic fields, and the Peten basin of eastern Chiapas State (Mexico) and Guatemala. Gas production is mainly from Tertiary sandstone reservoirs of Miocene age....

Ground-water contamination at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Michigan
J. R. Stark, T. R. Cummings, F. R. Twenter
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4002
A sand and gravel aquifer of glacial origin underlies Wurtsmith Air Force Base in northeastern lower Michigan. The aquifer overlies a thick clay layer at an average depth of 65 feet. The water table is about 10 feet below land surface in the western part of the Base and about...
Appraisal of the interconnection between the St Johns River and the surficial aquifer, east-central Duval County, Florida
R. M. Spechler, R. B. Stone Jr.
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4109
The proposed deepening of the navigation channel in the St. Johns River to about 46-48 feet below sea level (45 feet below mean low water) may breach up to 11 feet of limestone unit of the lower part of the surficial aquifer along a 25-mile channel. The limestone supplies water...
Artificial recharge in the northern part of Chino ground-water basin, upper Santa Ana Valley, California
J. H. Koehler
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4122
This study was made to help management design and implement a recharge-recapture system for State Water Project water in Chino Basin. Nine test holes were drilled in the study area. Analyses of data from these test holes and drillers ' logs of water wells indicate the presence of clay deposits....

1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4065
A multilayer numerical model of steady-state ground-water flow in lower Satus Creek basin was constructed, calibrated using time-averaged data, and used to estimate the long-term effects of proposed irrigation-water management plans on ground-water levels in the area. Model computations showed that irrigation of new lands in the Satus uplands would...
