Lineaments derived from analysis of linear features mapped from Landsat images of the Four Corners region of the Southwestern United States
Daniel H. Knepper
1982, Open-File Report 82-849
Linear features are relatively short, distinct, non-cultural linear elements mappable on Landsat multispectral scanner images (MSS). Most linear features are related to local topographic features, such as cliffs, slope breaks, narrow ridges, and stream valley segments that are interpreted as reflecting directed aspects of local geologic structure including faults, zones...

S. William Wandle Jr.
1982, Open-File Report 80-676
Floodflows on natural-flow streams in Massachusetts with drainage areas between 0.25 square miles and 260 square miles may be estimated from drainage area, main-channel slope, mean basin elevation, and the area of swamps, lakes, and ponds. Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and...

Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, D. M. Perkins, P.C. Thenhaus, S.L. Hanson, B.L. Bender
1982, Open-File Report 82-1033
Maximum horizontal accelerations and velocities caused by earthquakes are mapped for exposure times of 10, 50 and 250 years at the 90-percent probability level of nonexceedance for the contiguous United States. In many areas these new maps differ significantly from the 1976 probabilistic acceleration map by Algermlssen and Perkins because...
