1983, Open-File Report 83-192
Reoccupiable precision gravity networks for the purpose of monitoring volcanic activity were established in the vicinity of Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta. Base-line measurements were made during the summer of 1981, nearly coincident in time with other base-line geodetic measurements. The gravity surveys yielded gravity values at network stations relative...

Crustal structure of southwestern Saudi Arabia
M. E. Gettings, H. R. Blank, W. D. Mooney, J. H. Healy
1983, Open-File Report 83-638
The southwestern Arabian Shield is composed of uplifted Proterozoic metamorphic and plutonic rocks. The Shield is bordered on the southwest by Cenozoic sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Red Sea paar and on the east by the Arabian Platform, an area of basin sedimentation throughout Phanerozoic time. The Shield appears...
Geohydrologic data for test well UE-25bH, Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada

Application of Gauss algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation to the identification of aquifer parameters
Timothy J. Durbin
1983, Open-File Report 81-688
The Gauss optimization technique can be used to identify the parameters of a model of a groundwater system for which the parameter identification problem is formulated as a least squares comparison between the response of the prototype and the response of the model. Unavoidable uncertainty in the true stress on...

Preliminary assessment of in-situ geomechanical characteristics in drill hole USW G-1, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
William L. Ellis, Henri S. Swolfs
1983, Open-File Report 83-401
Observations made during drilling and subsequent testing of the USW G-1 drill hole, Yucca Mountain, Nevada, provide qualitative insights into the in- situ geomechanical characteristics of the layered tuff units penetrated by the hole. Substantial drilling-fluid losses, and the occurrence of drilling-induced fracturing, are understandable in terms of the low,...
Effects of sanitary sewers on ground-water levels and streams in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York, part 1: Geohydrology, modeling strategy, and regional evaluation

Reconnaissance of the hydrothermal resources of Utah
F. Eugene Rush
1983, Professional Paper 1044-H
Geologic factors in the Basin and Range province in Utah are more favorable for the occurrence of geothermal resources than in other areas on the Colorado Plateaus or in the Middle Rocky Mountains. These geologic factors are principally crustal extension and crustal thinning during the last 17 million years. Basalts...
Peralkaline and peraluminous granites and related mineral deposits of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
James E. Elliott
1983, Open-File Report 83-389
In the Precambrian Arabian Shield, granitoid plutonic rocks are widespread and range in age from 800 to 550 Ma old; but the mineral-resource potential associated with these plutonic rocks is restricted mainly to the younger, postorogenic granites. Two granite types of current economic interest are zirconium- niobium-enriched per alkaline granites...
