An oilspill risk analysis for the South Atlantic (proposed sale 78) outer continental shelf lease area
W.B. Samuels
1982, Open-File Report 82-807
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted for the South Atlantic (proposed sale 78) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease area. The analysis considered the probability of spill occurrences based on historical trends; likely movement of oil slicks based on a climatological model ; and locations of environmental resources which could be...

1982, Open-File Report 82-343
As part of the National Waste Terminal Storage Program, the U.S. Geological Survey is conducting a regional study of the geohydrology of the northern Louisiana salt-dome basin and developing a regional multi-layered ground-water flow model to determine regional flow paths. In the salt-dome basin the Tokio Formation and Brownstown Marl...

Analyzing thematic maps and mapping for accuracy
G.H. Rosenfield
1982, Open-File Report 82-239
Two problems which exist while attempting to test the accuracy of thematic maps and mapping are: (1) evaluating the accuracy of thematic content, and (2) evaluating the effects of the variables on thematic mapping. Statistical analysis techniques are applicable to both these problems and include techniques for sampling the data...

Effects of urbanization on the magnitude and frequency of floods on small streams in Tennessee; basic data report no. 2
Clarence H. Robbins
1982, Open-File Report 82-911
Peak stages, discharges, and rainfall recorded at 22 gaging stations on streams draining small (less than 25 mi super 2) urbanized basins across Tennessee are presented. The gaged basins are in 17 different municipalities with populations ranging between 5,000 and 100,000. The report gives a description of each gaged site...
Sediment and channel-geometry investigations for the Kansas River bank stabilization study, Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado
W. R. Osterkamp, R.E. Curtis, H.G. Crowther
1982, Open-File Report 81-128
Analysis of hydrologic data from the Kansas River basin suggests that the channels of the lower Solomon, Saline, and Smoky Hill Rivers have narrowed and stabilized as a result of construction of upstream reservoirs. The Kansas River channel, however, remains relatively unstable and locally active. Streamflow regulation and sediment trapping...
Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California
T. David Riney, J.W. Pritchett, L.F. Rice
1982, Open-File Report 82-980
Geological, geophysical, thermal, petrophysical and hydrological data available for the East Mesa hydrothermal system that are pertinent to the construction of a computer model of the natural flow of heat and fluid mass within the system are assembled and correlated. A conceptual model of the full system is developed and...
