Interpretation of detailed aerial gamma-ray survey, Jabal Ashirah area, southeastern Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
J. S. Duval
1987, Open-File Report 87-599
A detailed aerial gamma-ray spectrometric survey of the Jabal Ashirah area in the southeastern Arabian Shield has been analyzed using computer-classification algorithms. The analysis resulted in maps that show radiometric map units and gamma-ray anomalies indicating the presence of possible concentrations of potassium and uranium. The radiometric-unit map was interpreted...
Sediment-transport curves
G.D. Glysson
1987, Open-File Report 87-218
The process of developing a sediment transport curve is discussed with respect to the choice of dependent and independent variables, procedures for developing a transport curve, and the effects that seasons, major sediment transporting events, and timing of peaks can have on the shape of sediment transport curves. Examples of...
