Effects of the rate of releases from Sam Rayburn Reservoir on the aeration capacity of the Angelina River, eastern Texas
Jack Rawson, Richard L. Goss, Ira G. Rathbun
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-58
A three-phase study was conducted during July and August 1979 to determine the effects of varying release rates through the power-outlet works at Sam Rayburn Reservoir, eastern Texas, on aeration capacity of a 14-mile reach of the Angelina River below Sam Rayburn Dam. The dominant factors that affected the aeration...

1979, Book chapter, Chemical Modeling in Aqueous Systems
Extractable concentrations of sediment-bound Zn, as modified by the physicochemical form of the metal in the sediments, controlled Zn concentrations in the deposit-feeding bivalvesScrobicularia plana (collected from 40 stations in 17 estuaries in southwest England) andMacoma balthica (from 28 stations in San Francisco Bay). Over a wide range of concentrations,...
Preliminary geologic and geophysical data of the UE25a-3 exploratory drill hole, Nevada Test Site, Nevada
Florian Maldonado, D. C. Muller, J.N. Morrison
1979, Report
The UE25a-3 drill hole, located in the Calico Hills area, southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site, was drilled as part of an effort to evaluate the Calico Hills area as a possible nuclear waste repository site. The purpose of the drill hole was to verify the existence of an...

Geology and groundwater resources of western Crawford County, Pennsylvania
George R. Schiner, John T. Gallaher
1979, Water Resource Report 46
Western Crawford County is in northwestern Pennsylvania. The project area is 15 to 20 miles south of Lake Erie and is bordered on the west by Ohio. Drift of Pleistocene age (Wisconsinan Age) covers most of the area, which is a maturely dissected plateau. The drift in the upland area...
Reconnaissance of chemical quality of surface water and fluvial sediment in the Dirty Devil River basin, Utah
James C. Mundorff
1979, Technical Publication 65
The water-quality reconnaissance in the Dirty Devil River basin, covered an area of about 4,300 square miles (11,100 square kilometers). were obtained by the U.S. Geological Survey one or more times at 104 during the period July 1975 to September 1976; and during visits to 34 sites during the same...
Environment of ore deposition in the Creede mining district, San Juan Mountains, Colorado; Part IV, source of fluids, from oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon isotope studies
P. M. Bethke, R. O. Rye
1979, Economic Geology (74) 1832-1851
The hydrogen isotopic composition of fluids responsible for formation of the near-surface silver-base metal vein deposits at Creede was measured by direct analysis of inclusion fluids in sphalerite, quartz, and rhodochrosite and was estimated from analyses of illite and chlorite. The oxygen isotopic composition was determined directly on inclusion fluids...

The McDermitt caldera complex, located along the Nevada-Oregon border, is a Miocene collapse structure 45 km in diameter. Large-volume rhyolitic and peralkaline ash-flow tufts were erupted from 17.9-15.8 m.y. ago, leading to the formation of overlapping and nested calderas. Emplacement of rhyolitic ring domes, located primarily along the western margin...
