Preliminary foraminiferal biostratigraphy and correlation of selected stratigraphic sections and wells in the Gulf of Alaska Tertiary province
Weldon W. Rau, George Plafker, Gary R. Winkler
1977, Open-File Report 77-747
As part of ongoing research by the U.S. Geological Survey on the geology and resource potential of the Gulf of Alaska Tertiary Province, a vast amount of data has been accumulated over the past 25 years on the lithology and paleontology of bedded rocks in the province. This report brings...
Ground-water investigations at U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility E-0, Ramsey County, North Dakota
P.G. Randich
1977, Open-File Report 77-619
U.S. Air Force Launch Control Facility E-0 is located in Ramsey County, North Dakota. Geohydrologic and water-quality data indicate that the fractured Pierre Shale is the only aquifer in the vicinity of the facility that will supply acceptable water at the required rate of 5 gallons per minute (0.32 liters...

Chemical data and variation diagrams of igneous rocks from the Timber Mountain-Oasis Valley Caldera Complex, southern Nevada
W. D. Quinlivan, F. M. Byers
1977, Open-File Report 77-724
Silica variation diagrams presented here are based on 162 chemical analyses of tuffs, lavas, and intrusives, representative of volcanic centers of the Timber Mountain-Oasis Valley caldera complex and cogenetic rocks of the Silent Canyon ca1dera. Most of the volcanic units sampled are shown on the U.S. Geological Survey geologic map...
Ground-water hydrology and subsurface migration of radioisotopes at a low-level solid radioactive-waste disposal site, West Valley, New York
David E. Prudic, Allan D. Randall
1977, Open-File Report 77-566
Burial trenches for disposal of solid radioactive waste at West Valley, N.Y., are excavated in till that has very low hydraulic conductivity (about 5 x 10 to the minus 8th power centimeters per second). Fractures and root tubes with chemically oxidized and (or) reduced soil in their walls extend to...
Joints, fissures, and voids in rhyolite welded ash-flow tuff at Teton damsite, Idaho
Harold J. Prostka
1977, Open-File Report 77-211
Several kinds of joints, fissures, and voids are present in densely welded rhyolite ash-flow tuff at Teton damsite. Older fissures and voids probably were formed in the ash-flow sheet during secondary flowage, which probably was caused by differential compaction or settling over irregular topography. The younger, more abundant fissures are...

1977, Open-File Report 77-87
Five Data Collection Platforms (DCP) were integrated electronically with thermal sensing systems, emplaced and operated in an analog mode at selected thermally significant volcanic and geothermal sites. The DCP's transmitted 3260 messages comprising 26,080 ambient, surface, and near-surface temperature records at an accuracy of ±1.15°C for 1121 instrument days between...

Preliminary report on the quality of water in abandoned zinc mines in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas
Stephen J. Playton, Robert Ellis Davis
1977, Open-File Report 77-163
On-site measurements of pH, specific conductance, and water temperature show that water in seven mine shafts in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas is stratified, with pH decreasing and specific conductance and water temperature increasing as sampling depth increases. Concentrations of chemical constituents in mine-shaft water, such as dissolved solids, total...
