1987, Open-File Report 87-455
The Water Resources Division (WRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey is evaluating 32-bit microcomputers to determine how they can complement, and perhaps later replace, the existing network of minicomputers. The WRD is also designing a National Water Information System (NWIS) that will combine and integrate the existing National Water Data...

1987, Open-File Report 87-593
This geologic map is the first in a series of maps dealing with geology and mineral resources of the Mt. Katmai area, Alaska. This map series is the result of the U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Mineral Resources Assessment Program (AMRAP). Subsequent maps in this series will treat fossils, geochronology, detailed...
Development of sinkholes resulting from man's activities in the Eastern United States
John G. Newton
1987, Circular 968
Development of induced sinkholes in carbonate terranes in the Eastern United States has resulted in costly damage and water pollution. Previously, detailed investigations of sinkholes were limited to Alabama and Missouri, with the most comprehensive being in Alabama. An investigation of the remainder of the area was made in 1981...
