DITT: a computer program for Data Interpretation for Torsional Tests
Albert T.F. Chen
1979, Open-File Report 79-1463
Measurements of the helium concentration of soil samples collected and stored in Vacutainer-brand evacuated glass tubes show that Vacutainers are reliable containers for soil collection. Within the limits of reproducibility, helium content of soils appears to be independent of variations in soil temperature, barometric pressure, and quantity of soil moisture...
K-Ar age of alunite alteration at Red Mountain, Lake City area, western San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Harald H. Mehnert, John F. Slack, Gerald T. Cebula
1979, Open-File Report 79-1642
The San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado are famous for rich vein deposits of base and precious metals and for patterns of conspicuous hydrothermal alteration. Areas of acid-sulfate alteration, characterized by extensive base leaching of volcanic rocks or hypabyssal plutons, are of current interest because of their local association with...
Design of a network for monitoring ground-water quality in Minnesota
Marc F. Hult
1979, Open-File Report 79-1164
A network for monitoring the quality of water in the 13 principal aquifers in Minnesota has been designed and more than 400 wells and springs selected for sampling. The network organization includes four major elements; (1) point sampling, (2) point monitoring, (3) regional monitoring, and (4) site-specific monitoring. These elements...
The quality of surface water on Sanibel Island, Florida, 1976-77
Benjamin F. McPherson, T.H. O’Donnell
1979, Open-File Report 79-1478
The quality of surface water in parts of the interior of Sanibel Island has been periodically degraded by high concentrations of salt or macronutrients and by low concentrations of dissolved oxygen. In 1976 the chloride concentration of surface water ranged from about 500 milligrams per liter to almost that of...
Observations on the geology and petroleum potential of the Cold Bay-False Pass area, Alaska Peninsula

Multiyear low flow in southeastern Kansas
William J. Carswell Jr.
1979, Open-File Report 79-1288
Many existing water supplies in southeastern Kansas are proving inadequate to meet current and expanded future needs. One of the methods in which the use of highly variable streamflow in the area can be evaluated is with the aid of multiyear low-flow frequency information. Data from 19 stream-gaging stations in...
