Discharge, gage height, and elevation of 100-year floods in the Hudson River basin, New York
Roger J. Archer
1978, Open-File Report 78-332
The flood discharge that may be expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average of once in 100 years (100-year flood) was computed by the log-Pearson Type-III frequency relation for 72 stations in the Hudson River basin. These discharges and, where available, their corresponding gage height and elevation above...
Field determination of vertical permeability to air in the unsaturated zone
Edwin P. Weeks
1978, Professional Paper 1051
The vertical permeability to air of layered materials in the unsaturated zone may be determined from air pressure data obtained at depth during a period when air pressure is changing at land surface. Such data may be obtained by monitoring barometric pressure with a microbarograph or surveying altimeter and simultaneously...

Postglacial volcanic deposits at Mount Baker, Washington, and potential hazards from future eruptions
Jack H. Hyde, Dwight Raymond Crandell
1978, Professional Paper 1022-C
Eruptions and other geologic events at Mount Baker during the last 10,000 years have repeatedly affected adjacent areas, especially the valleys that head on the south and east sides of the volcano. Small volumes of tephra were erupted at least four times during the past 10,000 years. Future eruptions like...

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...
