Reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, Churchill County, Nevada
Nickolas E. Voegtly
1981, Open-File Report 81-134
A geologic reconnaissance of the Hot Springs Mountains and adjacent areas, which include parts of the Brady-Hazen and the Stillwater-Soda Lake Known Geothermal Resource Areas, during June-December 1975, resulted in a reinterpretation of the nature and location of some Basin and Range faults. In addition, the late Cenozoic stratigraphy has...
Eastern Gulf of Alaska seismicity: Annual report to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for April 1, 1980, through March 31, 1981
Christopher D. Stephens, John C. Lahr, John A. Rogers
1981, Open-File Report 81-897
The objective of this research is to collect and analyze data on earthquake activity in the northeast Gulf of Alaska (NEGOA) and adjacent onshore areas in order to develop a better regional seismotectonic model and more accurately assess the earthquake potential. This information is critical to the establishment of criteria...

1981, Open-File Report 81-262
This is the second annual report of a three year project to clarify the earthquake history of California for the period before 1900. More than four thousand additional newspaper issues were searched for earthquake reports, bringing the total number of issues examined to more than eleven thousand. About one quarter...
Flood peaks and discharge summaries in the Delaware River basin
Arthur A. Vickers, Harry A. Farsett, J. Wayne Green
1981, Open-File Report 81-912
Streamflow data from 299 continuous and crest-stage sites in the Delaware River basin are summarized in this report. The location, drainage area, period of record, type of gage, and average discharge for each gaging site are given. Also included are tables of annual peaks and peaks above base, annual and...
Proposed accelerograms from Monticello Dam, Jenkinsville, South Carolina, 27 August 1978, and two later shocks
A. Gerald Brady, P. N. Mork, J.P. Fletcher
1981, Open-File Report 81-448
This report serves two purposes: The documentation of a digital magnetic tape containing the results of processing the strong-motion data from Monticello Dam, South Carolina, during a series of three events in 1978, and the reproduction of the more important graphical results....
Hydrogeologic conditions in the coastal plain of New Jersey
Eric F. Vowinkel, W. Kendall Foster
1981, Open-File Report 81-405
A wedge-shaped mass of unconsolidated sediments composed of alternating layers of clay, silt, sand, and gravel underlies the Coastal Plain of New Jersey. The hydrologic units of this mass vary in thickness, lateral extent, lithology, and water-bearing characteristics. Some of the units act as aquifers, whereas other units act as...
Mean annual streamflow of selected drainage basins in the coal area of southeastern Montana
Rodger F. Ferreira
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-61
Streamflow characteristics of drainage basins within the Fort Union coal region of southeastern Montana were estimated to provide premining data for evaluating the future effects of mining on the environment. Estimated annual mean streamflow at 22 data-collection stations for water years 1975-77 ranged from 0 to 887 cubic feet per...
Tabulation of the ostracode assemblages and associated organisms from selected bottom grab samples taken in the northeast Gulf of Alaska, F.R.S. Townsend Cromwell Cruise IGAL-75-KC, 1975
Elisabeth M. Brouwers
1981, Open-File Report 81-1314
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting studies of the Alaskan continental shelf, identifying areas and processes of geological hazard that may affect resource development offshore. These hazards include areas of rapid accumulation of unconsolidated sediment, areas of intense erosional activity, and regions of submarine sliding and slumping; shallow faults are...
Alluvial aquifer of the Cache and St. Francis River basins, northeastern Arkansas
Matthew E. Broom, Forest P. Lyford
1981, Open-File Report 81-476
The alluvial aquifer underlies about 9,000 square miles of the study area. Well yields from the aquifer commonly are from 1,000 to 2,000 gallons per minute. Flow toward the main area of pumping stress is eastward from the Cache River and westward from the St. Francis River. The Memphis aquifer...
Real time monitoring of radon as an earthquake precursor in Iceland
Wallace S. Broecker, J.C. Goddard, Egill Hauksson
1981, Open-File Report 81-877
We report radon data collected during 1980 from geothermal wells in Iceland. Discrete radon samples are being collected weekly from nine stations in the Southern Iceland Seismic Zone (SISZ) and two stations in the Northern Iceland-Tjornes Fracture Zone (TFZ) to determine the potential for earthquake prediction. We also monitor volume...

Bed form distribution and inferred sand transport on Georges Bank
David C. Twichell
1981, Open-File Report 81-764
Four bed-form provinces have been identified on Georges Bank using sidescan sonar and echo-sounding techniques: large sand waves, small sand waves, megaripples, and featureless sea floor. The large sand waves are found on the bank crest where the surface tidal currents are strongest, and are bordered, north and south, by...
Petrology and petrography for USGS test wells 1, 2, and 3 in the Madison Limestone in Montana and Wyoming
Paul A. Thayer
1981, Open-File Report 81-221
The need for large quantities of energy has created interest in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Extensive development of this coal, which may include on-site steam-power generation, gasification, liquefaction, and slurry-pipeline transport of the coal out of the region, would place a heavy demand on...
