Uranium and thorium distribution in soils and weathered bedrock in south Texas
Kendell A. Dickinson
1977, Open-File Report 77-764
The distribution of uranium and thorium in soils and weathered bedrock in areas of calich soil development on various kinds of sedimentary bedrock in south Texas indicates that uranium and thorium are leached from the surface layers and deposited deeper in the soil or weathered bedrock. The data provide field...

A preliminary appraisal of the Garber-Wellington Aquifer, southern Logan and northern Oklahoma counties, Oklahoma
Jerry E. Carr, Melvin V. Marcher
1977, Open-File Report 77-278
The Garber-Wellington aquifer, which dips westward at 30 to 40 feet per mile, consists of about 900 feet of interbedded sandstone, shale, and siltstone. Sandstone comprises 35 to 75 percent of the aquifer and averages about 50 percent. Water-table conditions generally exist in the upper 200 feet in the outcrop...
User's guide for U.S. Geological Survey rainfall-runoff models; revised 1977
Philip Hadley Carrigan Jr., David E. Bower, G.R. Dempster
1977, Open-File Report 77-884
Modified versions of the rainfall-runoff model described by Dawdy, Lichty, and Bergmann (1972) (see W72-11754) are used in the U.S. Geological Survey as a means of synthesizing flood discharges for small drainage areas. Synthesized flood discharges derived through use of long-term (60-70 year) rainfall and evaporation data, provide a more...

Biogeochemical prospecting for uranium with conifers: results from the Midnite Mine area, Washington
J. Thomas Nash, Frederick Norville Ward
1977, Open-File Report 77-354
The ash of needles, cones, and duff from Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws) growing near uranium deposits of the Midnite mine, Stevens County, Wash., contain as much as 200 parts per million (ppm) uranium. Needle samples containing more than 10 ppm uranium define zones that correlate well with known uranium...
Analyses of native water, core material, and elutriate samples collected from the Atchafalaya River and Atchafalaya Bay
Charles R. Demas
1977, Open-File Report 77-769
During October and November 1976 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, collected native water and core material from 14 sites along the Atchafalya River in Louisiana (from the head of Whiskey Bay Pilot Channel to American Pass) and 5 sites in Atchafalya Bay...
Geology of the Midnite uranium mine area, Washington — Maps, description, and interpretation
J. Thomas Nash
1977, Open-File Report 77-592
Bedrock geology of about 12 km2 near the Midnite mine has been mapped at the surface, in mine exposures, and from drilling, at scales from 1:600 to 1:12,000 and is presented here at 1:12,000 to provide description of the setting of uranium deposits. Oldest rocks in the area are metapelitic...
Analyses of native water and dredged material from southern Louisiana waterways, 1975-76
Charles R. Demas, Patricia C. Higgins
1977, Open-File Report 77-503
From June 1975 to July 1976 the U.S. Geological Survey conducted nine dredging and seven postdredging studies related to water quality in selected reaches of major navigable waterways of southern Louisiana. Samples were collected from the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet, Mississippi River at Southwest Pass, Mississippi River at New Orleans, Bayou...
Ground-water investigation at the alluvial fan of the South Fork River, Anchorage, Alaska: results of test drilling, 1976
Larry L. Dearborn
1977, Open-File Report 77-493
In late 1976, at Anchorage, Alaska, a ground-water exploration well was drilled to a depth of 487 feet on the South Fork Eagle River fan near the confluence with the mainstream. The well penetrated four sand and gravel strata of low water-yielding capacity and extended 37 ft into metamorphic bedrock....
Uranium in Precambrian granitic rocks of the St. Francois Mountains, southeastern Missouri, with comments on uranium resource potential
J. Thomas Nash
1977, Open-File Report 77-787
Red granites of the St. Francois Mountains are highly radioactive and contain 4 to 34 parts per million (ppm) uranium. The most radioactive is the Graniteville Granite which contains an average of 16.9 ppm U and 42.6 ppm Th. The Butler Hill and Breadtray Granites also contain anomalous amounts, averaging...
A computer program to calculate the resistivity and induced polarization response for a three-dimensional body in the presence of buried electrodes
Jeffrey J. Daniels
1977, Open-File Report 77-153
Three-dimensional induced polarization and resistivity modeling for buried electrode configurations can be achieved by adapting surface integral techniques for surface electrode configurations to buried electrodes. Modification of. the surface technique is accomplished by considering the additional mathematical terms required to express-the changes in the electrical potential and geometry caused by...
