1994, Data Series 13
IntroductionThis CD-ROM is part of a 39 disc collection containing the demultiplexed seismic data from a 3400 km-long multichannel seismic-reflection profile extending from Cape Hatteras, N.C., to the rift valley of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The data were collected in 1974 as part of the International Phase of Ocean Drilling (IPOD)...
Simulation of rainfall-runoff for basins in the Rolla, Missouri, area
Robert R. Holmes Jr., J. W. East
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4019
Important rainfall-runoff characteristics for basins in the Rolla, Missouri, area were determined to be overland flow, interception storage, interception losses, evaporation, and infiltration. Using these characteristics, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Stormwater Management Model (SWMM) was configured for basins in the study area. The data network for the model calibration...
Giant Hawaiian landslides

G. W. Hess, E. J. Inman
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4004
The effects of flood-detention reservoirs on peak discharges along downstream reaches in six urban drainage basins in Gwinnett County, Georgia, were studied during 1986-93 using the U.S. Geological Survey's Distributed Routing Rainfall-Runoff Model (DR3M). Short-term rainfall-runoff data were collected at selected stations in six urban drainage basins in Gwinnett County....

Local point sources that affect ground-water quality in the East Meadow area, Long Island, New York
Paul M. Heisig
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4038
The extent and chemical characteristics of ground water affected by three local point sources--a stormwater basin, uncovered road-salt-storage piles, and an abandoned sewage-treatment plant--were delineated during a 3-year study of the chemical characteristics and migration of a body of reclaimed wastewater that was applied to the watertable aquifer during recharge...
Geology of the Blue Mountains region of Oregon, Idaho, and Washington: Stratigraphy, physiography, and mineral resources of the Blue Mountains region
H. C. Brooks
T.L. Vallier, editor(s)
1994, Professional Paper 1439
PART 1: Stratigraphic and sedimentological analysis of sedimentary sequences from the Wallowa terrane of northeastern Oregon has provided a unique insight into the paleogeography and depositional history of the terrane, as well as establishing important constraints on its tectonic evolution and accretionary history. Its Late Triassic history is considered here...
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....

An interactive code (NETPATH) for modeling NET geochemical reactions along a flow PATH, version 2.0
Niel Plummer, Eric C. Prestemon, David L. Parkhurst
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4169
NETPATH is an interactive Fortran 77 computer program used to interpret net geochemical mass-balance reactions between an initial and final water along a hydrologic flow path. Alternatively, NETPATH computes the mixing proportions of two to five initial waters and net geochemical reactions that can account for the observed composition of...

Ground-water quality in the central part of the Passaic River basin, northeastern New Jersey, 1959-88
T.S. Czarnik, Jane Kozinski
1994, Water-Resources Investigations Report 92-4083
Ground-water samples were collected from 71 wells screened in or open to three aquifers in the central part of the Passaic River basin during 1959-88. Water samples from aquifers in glacial sediments and aquifers in sedimentary and igneous bedrock of the Newark Supergroup were analyzed for major ions. Most...
A compilation of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide emission-rate data from Mount St. Helens during 1980-88
Kenneth A. McGee, Thomas J. Casadevall
1994, Open-File Report 94-212
Airborne monitoring of Mount St. Helens by the USGS began inMay 1980 for sulfur dioxide emissions and in July 1980 forcarbon dioxide emissions. A correlation spectrometer, orCOSPEC, was used to measure sulfur dioxide in Mount St.Helens' plume. The upward-looking COSPEC was mounted in afixed-wing aircraft and flown below and at...
Ground-water discharge from the Coastal Plain of Virginia
