A finite-element network was designed to represent the topography and vegetative cover of...
Mineral resource potential map of the James River Face Wilderness, Bedford and Rockbridge counties, Virginia
C. Erwin Brown, Gertrude C. Gazdik
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1337-D
The rocks in the James River Face Wilderness are shales and quartzites that overlie a meta-igneous basement. They are folded into a large southwestward-plunging anticline that is cut off on the east and south by an extensive thrust fault that brings old basement rocks over the younger sedimentary rocks. Geochemical...

A conceptual model of the full system is developed and...
A study of trends in dissolved oxygen and fecal coliform bacteria at NASQAN stations
Richard A. Smith, Richard B. Alexander
1982, Open-File Report 82-1019
Most stations in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Stream Quality Accounting Network show no significant trend in either dissolved oxygen concentration or fecal coliform bacteria population for the period October 1974. through October 1981. Of the stations which do show trends, however, most show improved water quality: thirty-one of a...
Ground-water resources of the White River basin, Delaware County, Indiana
Leslie D. Arihood, Wayne W. Lapham
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-47
The ground-water resources of the White River basin in and near Delaware County, Indiana, were investigated by mapping the aquifers, calculating their hydraulic properties, determining the distribution of potentiometric head, and determining some of the components of the ground-water budget from data collected in the field. This information was used...
Nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in ground water from three selected areas in Kansas
Timothy B. Spruill
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-11
Nitrate-nitrogen data collected during 1976-79 from 333 wells in western, central, and eastern Kansas were summarized and statistically analyzed on the basis of area, aquifer, and well depth. Concentrations exceeding 10 milligrams per liter occurred generally in wells less than 100 feet in depth, indicating that nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in ground...

1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 4595-4607
From the more than 1500 Mammoth Lakes earthquakes recorded on three-component digital seismographs (Spudich et al., 1981), 150 were used in an analysis of the locations, mechanism, and source parameters. A composite fault plane solution of nine earthquakes 3.9 ≤ M ≤ 5.1 defines a right-lateral strike slip mechanism on...
Marine ice-pushed boulder ridge, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
Peter W. Barnes
1982, Arctic (35) 312-316
A steep-faced boulder ridge up to 4m high by 300m long was encountered along the arctic coast east of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in the summer of 1979. Marine occurrences of similar ridges are rare. Since ice-push sorts cobble- and boulder-sized material in the construction of a ridge, recent onshore excursions of ice due to wind stress on the fast ice...
Terranes and suture zones in east central Alaska
M. Churkin Jr., H.L. Foster, R. M. Chapman, F. R. Weber
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 3718-3730
East central Alaska, with its 17 terranes, forms a part of the mosaic of allochthonous terranes that join the North American and Siberian plates. These terranes range from continental and continental margin, such as the Tatonduk with its thick well-bedded succession of marine shelf rocks, to seamount, arc, and ocean...
