Investigation of the Hosgri fault, offshore southern California, Point Sal to Point Conception
C. M. Payne, O. E. Swanson, B. A. Schell
1979, Open-File Report 79-1199
A high-resolution seismic reflection survey of the inner continental shelf between Point Sal and Point Conception has revealed faults that displace post-Wisconsin strata (less than 17,000-20,000 years). These faults are the Hosgri fault, the Offshore Lompoc fault, and smaller unnamed faults. Faults trending offshore from the adjacent shoreline such as...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1539
Measurements of the sediment load of the Tanana River in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska, show that suspended-sediment transport rate in tons per day, relates to water discharge, in cubic feet per second, as: Suspended-sediment transport rate (tons/day) = 5.717 x 10 to the minus 8th power x water discharge...

Trace-element distribution around a South Texas roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-1375
The distribution of trace elements around a south Texas roll-type uranium deposit was examined using semiquantitative emission spectroscopic analytical data complemented by some quantitative data. The results suggest that of the 50 elements analyzed, only beryllium and possibly vanadium are enriched in the altered rock on the updip side of...

Discrimination of alteration in the Crooks Gap, Wyoming, uranium district using laboratory and Landsat spectral reflectance data
Timothy E. Townsend
1979, Open-File Report 79-765
The Crooks Gap area is a major uranium producing district in south-central Wyoming. Uranium occurs there as roll-type deposits in Tertiary sandstones. Alteration of the host sandstones related to the formation of the uranium deposits, is marked at the surface by a pronounced red coloration, which has long been used...

Knik Glacier, Alaska, May 1979 monument and glacier survey
Dennis C. Trabant, L.R. Mayo
1979, Open-File Report 80-48
From 1915, or earlier, to 1966, with the exception of 1963, Knik Glacier annually formed and released Lake George, the largest glacier-dammed lake in Alaska. Eleven geodetically controlled survey stations were defined in the basin, and 22 glacier surface altitudes were measured. This is the first effort in a continuing...
