Subsurface stratigraphy and geochemistry of late Quaternary evaporites, Searles Lake, California, with a section on radiocarbon ages of stratigraphic units
George I. Smith, Minze Stuiver
1979, Professional Paper 1043
Searles Lake is a dry salt pan, about 100 km 2 in area, that lies on the floor of Searles Valley, in the desert of southeast California. Several salt bodies of late Quaternary age lie beneath the surface, mostly composed of sodium and potassium carbonate, sulfate, chloride, and borate minerals....

Uranium potential of the Big John Caldera, Beaver County, Utah
Thomas August Steven, Charles G. Cunningham, John J. Anderson
1979, Open-File Report 79-527
The Big John caldera is a small subsidence structure in the Marysvale volcanic field, high along the western flank of the Tushar Mountains in west-central Utah (fig. 1). This caldera formed 22 m.y. ago in response to ash-flow eruptions of the Delano Peak Tuff Member of the Bullion Canyon Volcanics....
Data compilation of periphyton colonized on artificial substrates placed in the Sacramento and Feather rivers, California, 1975
Linda J. Britton, Rodger F. Ferreira
1979, Open-File Report 79-696
Periphyton was collected from artificial substrates placed in the Sacramento and Feather rivers, California, and analyzed to determine the rate of colonization and succession of periphyton types with time. Samples for determination of water-quality characteristics, especially suspended-sediment concentrations, that might have a direct effect on the growth of periphyton were...

Southeast Georgia embayment high-resolution seismic-reflection survey
Douglas W. Edsall
1979, Open-File Report 78-800
A high-resolution seismic survey of the offshore part of the Southeast Georgia Embayment on about a 20 km spacing was completed in 1976. A stratigraphic analyses of the data shows that the largest controlling factor in the depositional history of the shelf has been the Gulf Stream. These currents have...
Reconnaissance data on lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, Washington
David P. Dethier, Paul L. Heller, Sally A. Safioles
1979, Open-File Report 79-1465
Sixty lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area have been sampled from rubber rafts or helicopter to obtain information on their physical setting and on present water-quality conditions. The lakes are located near the crest of the Cascade Range in Chelan and King Counties, Washington. Basic data from these lakes...
Stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Coconino County, Arizona
Dayton Delbert Dickey, James Clifton Wright
1979, Open-File Report 79-248
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...
Post-orogenic peralkaline and calc-alkaline granites and associated mineralization of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
D. B. Stoeser, James Earl Elliott
1979, Open-File Report 79-1323
Following a long period of island arc-like orogenic activity, post-orogenic granites of Pan-African age (670-550 m.y.) were emplaced throughout the Arabian Shield. Most of these rocks are typical subsolvus calc-alkaline biotite monzogranite. The early Pan-African granites are associated with widespread small tholeiitic gabbro intrusions, many of which are layered. The...

Impact of flow regulation and powerplant effluents on the flow and temperature regimes of the Chattahoochee River— Atlanta to Whitesburg, Georgia
Robert E. Faye, Harvey E. Jobson, Larry F. Land
1979, Professional Paper 1108
A calibrated and verified transient flow-temperature model was used to evaluate the effects of flow regulation and powerplant loadings on the natural temperature regime of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia. Estimates were made of both instantaneous and average natural temperatures in the river during an 8-day period in August...

Petrology, sedimentology, and diagenesis of hemipelagic limestone and tuffaceous turbidities in the Aksitero Formation, central Luzon, Philippines
Robert E. Garrison, E. Espiritu, L.J. Horan, L.E. Mack
1979, Professional Paper 1112
The Aksitero Formation of central Luzon is an upper Eocene and lower Oligocene sequence of evenly bedded hemipelagic limestone with a few thin interlayers of tuffaceous turbidites. The limestone consists chiefly of planktonic foraminifers and calcareous nannofossils, with up to 30 percent of noncarbonate components, chiefly volcaniclastic debris. The tuff...

Hydrometeorological model for streamflow prediction
Wendell V. Tangborn
1979, Open-File Report 79-741
The hydrometeorological model described in this manual was developed to predict seasonal streamflow from water in storage in a basin using streamflow and precipitation data. The model, as described, applies specifically to the Skokomish, Nisqually, and Cowlitz Rivers, in Washington State, and more generally to streams in other regions that...

Some peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron, Walter A. Anderson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1096
Twenty of the peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine contain an estimated 29,282,000 short tons air-dried peat. The peat is chiefly sphagnum moss and reed-sedge of high quality according to ASTM standards for agricultural and horticultural use. Analyses show that this same volume has high fuel value, low sulfur and...

Hydrogeologic data for the Eagle River-Chugiak area, Alaska
Paula R. Johnson
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-59
Water for the Eagle River-Chugiak area is provided by private, subdivision and trailer court wells. Data from these wells were stud-ied to determine aquifer materials, yield, well depth and depth to water. The aquifer material is unconsolidated glacial or alluvial gravel and sand and bedrock from the McHugh Complex, the...
