Effect of snowmelt on the quality of Filson Creek and Omaday Lake, northeastern Minnesota
Donald I. Siegel, L. E. Anderson, J. A. Rogalla
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-66
Concentrations of major constituents were determined in the surface water, ground water, and precipitation in Filson Creek watershed to evaluate the effects of acid precipitation on surface-water quality during snowmelt. Concentrations of sulfate increased in Filson Creek and Omaday Lake during snowmelt from less than 2 to 12 milligrams per...
Mapsat conceptual design; system overview
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1981, Open-File Report 81-26
After more than 10 years of study and applications of Earth imaging satellite systems, the U. S. Geological Survey has conceptually defined a candidate Operational Land Remote Sensing Satellite. A conceptual design study of this system, known as MAPSAT, has been completed by Itek Optical Systems, a division of Itek...
Annual report of the USGS Mission, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the third year of the fifth extension of the USGS-MPMR work agreement : fiscal year 1400/01, 1 Rajab 1400-30 Jumad Thani 1401 (15 May 1980-4 May 1981)
U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabia Mission, Saudi Arabia. Mudīrīyah al-ʻĀmmah lil-Tharwah al-Maʻdinīyah
1981, Report
An interagency report prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Mission for the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The work on which this report was based was performed in accordance with a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Ministry of Petroleum...
Anaerobic oxidation of acetylene by estuarine sediments and enrichment cultures
Charles W. Culbertson, Alexander J. B. Zehnder, Ronald S. Oremland
1981, Applied and Environmental Microbiology (41) 396-403
Acetylene disappeared from the gas phase of anaerobically incubated estuarine sediment slurries, and loss was accompanied by increased levels of carbon dioxide. Acetylene loss was inhibited by chloramphenicol, air, and autoclaving. Addition of 14C2H2 to slurries resulted in the formation of 14CO2 and the transient appearance of 14C-soluble intermediates, of which acetate was a major...
Hard mineral resources around the U.S continental margin
Frank T. Manheim, H.D. Hess
1981, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Annual Offshore Technology Conference
The territorial waters surrounding the United States contain vast quantities of hard mineral resources. Some, such as sand and gravel in the New York Bight, Beaufort Sea, portions of southern California, and submerged lands near Hawaii are relatively well known and characterized by local need and immediate mining potential with...
Estimating usable resources from historical industry data
S.M. Cargill, D. H. Root, E. H. Bailey
1981, Economic Geology (76) 1081-1095
Historical production statistics are used to predict the quantity of remaining usable resources. The commodities considered are mercury, copper and its byproducts gold and silver, and petroleum; the production and discovery data are for the United States. The results of the study indicate that the...
Shear zone between the Inner Piedmont and Kings Mountain belts in the Carolinas
J. Wright Horton, Jr.
1981, Geology (9) 28-33
The Kings Mountain shear zone, which marks the boundary between the Inner Piedmont and Kings Mountain belts near the NC-SC state line, is a northeast-striking, steeply to moderately dipping zone of ductile mylonitic deformation and late-stage semibrittle deformation. The zone is at least 60 km long and is no more...
Radiometric and paleomagnetic evidence for the Emperor reversed polarity event at 0.46 ± 0.05 M.Y. in basalt lava flows from the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho
Duane E. Champion, G. Brent Dalrymple, Mel A. Kuntz
1981, Geophysical Research Letters (8) 1055-1058
K-Ar and paleomagnetic data from cores through a sequence of basalt flows in the eastern Snake River Plain provide evidence for a brief (0.005 to 0.01 m.y.) reversal of the geomagnetic field 0.46 ± 0.05 m.y. ago. This reversed polarity event has also been found in sea-floor magnetic anomalies and...
The National Coal Resources Data System: A status report
M. Devereaux Carter, Antoinette L. Medlin, Kathleen K. Krohn
1981, Geological Society of America Bulletin (92) 563-573
The National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) of the U.S. Geological Survey is an interactive computerized storage, retrieval, and display system to assess the quantity and quality of the nation's coal resources. It has been developed to provide geological coal-resource data currently available, to update that data, and to...
