Trace element analysis of marine organisms by anodic stripping voltammetry (ASV)
Gary W. Hill
1979, Open-File Report 79-392
Trace element analysis of marine organisms has generally been conducted by (1) sophisticated instrumentation (e. g., atomic absorption), (2) complicated cookbook laboratory procedures utilizing a host of chemicals and glassware, or (3) a combination of the above. All these procudures present problems to the investigator. For example, analysis by methods...
Progress report to the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Commission for year ending September 30, 1978
Marion S. Hines
1979, Open-File Report 79-523
The economic design of bridges and culverts requires a knowledge of the magnitude and frequency of floods for all size drainage basins. In addition, an analysis of the hydrologic and hydraulic characteristics at specific sites where unusual circumstances exist is a prerequisite to design.The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Commission...

Wilfred P. Hasbrouck
1979, Open-File Report 79-242
Processing of geophysical data taken with the U.S. Geological Survey's coal-seismic system is done with a desk-top, stand-alone computer. Programs for this computer are written in an extended BASIC language specially augmented for acceptance by the Tektronix 4051 Graphic System. This report presents five computer programs used to store, plot,...
Preliminary geology of the Blacktail Mountain drilling site, Flathead County, Montana
Jack Edward Harrison, Mitchell W. Reynolds
1979, Open-File Report 79-938
Five argillitic green beds that alternate with six argillitic purple beds in the upper part of the Spokane Formation of the Belt Supergroup of Proterozoic Y age were sampled by 22 shallow core holes. The holes were drilled on a hexagonal pattern over an area about 50 m wide and...
Hydrologic data for urban studies in the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area, 1977
B.B. Hampton, C.M. Wood
1979, Open-File Report 79-562
In August 1961, the Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of Dallas, began a program of investigations designed to evaluate hydrologic factors affecting floods on several small streams in Dallas. During the 1977 water year, the original program was expanded to include the greater Dallas metropolitan area....
Analyses of surficial deposits, central Brooks Range, Alaska
Thomas D. Hamilton, James H. Trexler, James McCalpin
1979, Open-File Report 79-228
Seventy-nine sediment samples from the central Brooks Range were analyzed for grain-size distribution, shape and composition of grains, and other physical properties. Four statistical measures (sorting, mean diameter, skewness, and kurtosis) were then computed for the sand-to-clay size fraction of all samples.Fan sediments resemble the other alluvial-gravel deposits in consisting...
The origin, distribution, and depositional history of gravel deposits on the Beaufort Sea Continental Shelf, Alaska
Craig A. Rodeick
1979, Open-File Report 79-234
Two distinct gravel populations are present on the Beaufort Sea continental shelf. First, a geographically arcuate deposit that is convex seaward has been designated as the Chert Facies. This deposit is restricted to landward of the 10 meter bathymetric contour and west of Heald Point. The Chert Facies, originally a...
Ground-water data for Michigan, 1977
G.C. Huffman
1979, Open-File Report 79-332
The purpose of this report is to make available the 1977 records of water levels and related data for the principal aquifers of the State. These records and data provide a means for evaluating available ground-water supplies. Long- term records serve as a framework to which short-term records may be...

Also included are conventional and normalized partition coefficients for trace elements in each of the coexisting mineral phases...
Phosphatic Permian rocks of the Adobe Range, Nevada, and their environment of deposition
Keith Brindley Ketner
1979, Open-File Report 79-239
Permian sedimentary rocks in the Adobe range, northern Nevada, are phosphatic, and although the particles of phosphate are relatively more disseminated, they closely resemble the rocks of the Phosphoria Formation. In the northern Adobe Range, where the entire Permian sequence is approximately correlative with the Phosphoria Formation, it is 200...
