Transit losses and traveltimes of reservoir releases along the Arkansas River from Pueblo Reservoir to John Martin Reservoir, southeastern Colorado
Russell K. Livingston
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-75
The need for accurate information regarding the transit losses and traveltimes associated with releases from Pueblo Reservoir has been stimulated by construction of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's Fryingpan-Arkansas Project and a proposed winter-water storage program in Pueblo Reservoir. To meet this need, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with...
Seismic model study of Patrick Draw field, Wyoming: a stratigraphic trap in the Upper Cretaceous Almond Formation
Robert C. Anderson, Robert T. Ryder
1978, Open-File Report 78-496
The Patrick Draw field, located on the eastern flank of the Rock Springs uplift in the Washakie basin of southwestern Wyoming, was discovered in 1959 without the use of geophysical methods. The field is a classic example of a stratigraphic trap, where Upper Cretaceous porous sandstone units pinch out on...

Cross-section data for selected Puerto Rico streams
Eloy Colon-Dieppa, Ralph Gonzalez
1978, Open-File Report 78-882
The data presented in this report were originally collected for the purpose of delineating the inundation which could be expected by floods of selected magnitudes. As this study progressed, it became apparent that further analysis would be a duplication of effort as the United States Flood Insurance Administration was requiring...

Development of a technique for the rapid estimation of earthquake losses
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, M.B. McGrath, S.L. Hanson
1978, Open-File Report 78-440
A simple, general technique has been outlined for the rapid, approximate estimation of building losses resulting from ground shaking during earthquakes. The technique has been applied to the San Francisco Bay area. Ground shaking, ground failures of various kinds, surface faulting, tsunamis, and earthquake induced fires are all responsible for...

Plans for high-gain Landsat coverage of coastlines and shallow seas
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1978, Open-File Report 78-867
Recently the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) requested NASA to obtain Landsat coverage of the coastlines and shallow seas of the world, except for the United States, Canada, northern Europe, and the polar regions. Other agencies such as Interior have also requested coverage of specific shallow sea areas and there is...

Determination of peak discharge from rainfall data for urbanized basins, Wichita, Kansas
C.O. Peek, P. R. Jordan
1978, Open-File Report 78-974
Rainfall and runoff data from urbanized drainage basins in the Wichita area, Kansas, were used to evaluate the Soil Conservation Service synthetichydrograph method of computing flood hydrographsfrom rainfall data. The method was tested on six basins where the impervious surface ranged from 11 percent on the least urbanized basin to...

Electron-microprobe study of chromitites associated with alpine ultramafic complexes and some genetic implications
M. L. Bird
1978, Open-File Report 78-119
Electron-microprobe and petrographic studies of alpine chromite deposits from around the world demonstrate that they are bimodal with respect to the chromic oxide content of their chromite. The two modes occur at 54 ? 4 and 37 ? 3 weight per cent chromic oxide corresponding to chromite designated as high-chromium...

Studies of core sediments and seismic reflection profiles elucidate the structure and depositional history of Bolinas Lagoon, Calif., which covers 4.4 km 2 and lies in the San Andreas fault zone at the southeast corner of the Point Reyes Peninsula 20 km northwest of San Francisco. The 1906 trace of...
Interpretation of electromagnetic extra-low-frequency soundings in the Randsburg, California, Known Geothermal Resource Area
