High-resolution seismic-reflection profiling data from the inner continental shelf of southeastern Massachusetts
Charles J. O’Hara
1980, Open-File Report 80-178
Six hundred-seventy kilometers of closely spaced high-resolution seismic-reflection data have been collected from eastern Rhode Island Sound and Vineyard Sound, Mass, by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works. These data were obtained during the June 1975 cruise of the R/V ASTERIAS as part...

Seismic evidence for an extensive gas-bearing layer at shallow depth, offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Gary Wynn Boucher, Erk Reimnitz, Edward W. Kempema
1980, Open-File Report 80-809
High resolution seismic reflection data recorded offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were processed digitally to determine the reflectivity structure of the uppermost layers of the seafloor. A prominent reflector found at 27 m below the mudline (water depths 7-9 m) has a negative reflection coefficient greater than 0.5. The large...

Measured stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Garfield County, Utah
James Clifton Wright, Dayton Delbert Dickey, R.P. Snyder
1980, Open-File Report 80-308
These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic...
Water quality of Indian Creek-Van Buren watershed, Iowa and Missouri
Larry J. Slack, Mark G. Detroy
1980, Open-File Report 80-677
Generally, the water quality of Indian Creek-Van Buren watershed is suitable as a source of Municipal, industrial and agricultural water supply and for fish and wildlife. This suitability is based upon comparisons of the existing water quality of Indian Creek to Federal and State water quality standards and criteria developed for the protection of water sources...

This issue of the Bulletin of the Seismological Laboratory summarizes the determination of epicenters for earthquakes located in the western Great Basin, Nevada and eastern California, for the period 1975-1979. The Laboratory attempts to identify and locate all earthquakes with ML greater than about 2.5 in this region. Quality of...
Seismic damage assessment for high-rise buildings
Roger E. Scholl
1980, Open-File Report 81-381
The problem considered in this project, conducted by URS/John A. Blume & Associates, Engineers (URS/Blume), for the U.S. Geological Survey, is the identification, evaluation, and correlation of ground-motion and structural parameters in order to improve procedures for predicting dollar losses for high-rise structures damaged by earthquakes. Ground-motion data bases, analytical...
