United States Geological Survey, programs in Texas
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1994, Fact Sheet 043-95
Meteorologic and physiographic factors in parts of Texas combine to produce some of the most intense rainstorms in the Nation; these rainstorms cause severe, destructive floods somewhere in the State almost every year. A recent example is the catastrophic flooding in the Houston area in October 1994 that resulted in...
Maps showing interpretation, using R-mode factor analysis, of trace-element abundances in heavy-mineral concentrate samples, Delta 1° x 2° quadrangle, Utah
David R. Zimbelman
1994, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 2081-G
A set of heavy-mineral concentrate data for the Delta 1° x 2° quadrangle, Utah Conterminous U.S. Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) project was compiled from results of analyses of samples collected during the National Uranium Resource Evaluation Program (SURE), as well as results obtained from samples collected more recently by the...
Biology of North American tortoises
R. Bruce Bury, David J. Germano, editor(s)
1994, Fish and Wildlife Research 13
Chelonians have fascinated people for centuries and have been the object of biological studies for nearly as long. Perhaps the long life span and harmless demeanor of most species contribute to their wide appeal. they also represent a link to the distant past because their characteristic shell separated this line...
Vertical structure of mean cross-shore currents across a barred surf zone
John W. Haines, Asbury H. Sallenger Jr.
1994, Journal of Geophysical Research C: Oceans (99) 14223-14242
Mean cross-shore currents observed across a barred surf zone are compared to model predictions. The model is based on a simplified momentum balance with a turbulent boundary layer at the bed. Turbulent exchange is parameterized by an eddy viscosity formulation, with the eddy viscosity Aυ independent of time and the vertical...
Submarine canyon initiation by downslope-eroding sediment flows: Evidence in late Cenozoic strata on the New Jersey continental slope
Lincoln F. Pratson, William B. F. Ryan, Gregory S. Mountain, David C. Twichell
1994, Geological Society of America Bulletin (106) 395-412
Multibeam bathymetry and seismic reflection profiles of the New Jersey continental slope reveal a series of abandoned and now-buried submarine canyons that have apparently influenced the development of modern canyons. The buried canyons are infilled along nine slope-wide unconformities separating upper-middle Miocene to Pleistocene sediments that thin downslope. Canyons...
New recording package for VACM provides sensor flexibility
William J. Strahle, S. E. Worrilow, S. E. Fucile, Marinna A. Martini
1994, Conference Paper, OCEANS '94: 'Oceans Engineering for Today's Technology and Tomorrow's Preservation,' Proceedings
For the past three decades, the VACM has been a standard for ocean current measurements. A VACM is a true vector-averaging instrument that computes north and east current vectors and averages temperature continuously over a specified interval. It keeps a running total of rotor counts, and records one-shot samples of...
Estimation of water withdrawal and distribution, water use, and wastewater collection and return flow in Cumberland, Rhode Island, 1988
M.A. Horn, P. A. Craft, Lisa Bratton
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4023
Water-use data collected in Rhode Island by different State agencies or maintained by different public suppliers and wastewater- treatment facilities need to be integrated if these data are to be used in making water- resource management decisions. Water-use data for the town of Cumberland, a small area in northeastern...
Geohydrology and ground-water quality in the vicinity of a ground-water-contamination site in Rockford, Illinois
R.T. Kay, S. T. Prinos, Frederick L. Paillet
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4187
A geohydrologic investigation was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, to determine the distribution of volatile organic compounds in a fractured-rock aquifer near the Southeast Rockford Groundwater Contamination Site in Rockford, Ill. The geologic units of concern are the St. Peter Sandstone...
Variability of streamflow and precipitation in Washington
D. L. Kresch
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 93-4132
Patterns of variation in monthly records of 55 streamflow stations and 38 precipitation stations were evaluated using chronologies of cumulative departure of monthly values from mean-monthly values. The cumulative departures for each station were rescaled (standardized) by dividng them by the standard deviation of the annual values for that station....
