L. E. Garrison, Neil H. Kenyon, A.H. Bouma
1982, Geo-Marine Letters (2) 31-39
Morphological features on the Mississippi Fan in the eastern Gulf of Mexico were mapped using GLORIA II, a long-range side-scan sonar system. Prominent is a sinuous channel flanked by well-developed levees and occasional crevasse splays. The channel follows the axis and thickest part of the youngest fan lobe; seismic-reflection profiles...

1982, Biological Conservation (23) 111-126
Vicia menziesii Spreng., Hawai'i's first officially listed endangered plant species, formerly occurred across a large area in the upper montane-mesic forest habitat on the windward side of the island of Hawai'i. Until this species was ‘rediscovered’ in 1974, it had last been seen in 1915, and it was presumed to...

The Giles County, Virginia, seismogenic zone-- Seismological results and geological interpretations
G. A. Bollinger, Russell L. Wheeler
1982, Open-File Report 82-585
This paper describes and interprets a newly-recognized 40-km-long seismogenic zone, which is inferred to have been the locus of a damaging earthquake in 1897. That shock was the second largest known to have occurred in the southeastern United States (MMI VIII, mb estimated at 5.8, felt over 725,000 km2). It...

1982, Open-File Report 82-159
The Hyde Park landfill is a 15-acre chemical waste disposal site located north of Niagara Falls, New York. Underlying the site in descending order are: (1) low permeability glacial till, (2) a moderately permeable fractured rock aquifer--the Lockport Dolomite, and (3) a low permeability unit--the Rochester Shale. The site is...

Saturated thickness of the High Plains regional aquifer in 1980, northwestern Oklahoma
John S. Havens
1982, Open-File Report 82-760
During 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey began a 5-year study of the High Plains regional aquifer system to provide hydrologic information for evaluation of the effects of long-term development of the aquifer and to develop computer models for prediction of aquifer response to alternative changes in ground-water management (Weeks, 1978)....
