Climatic and streamflow estimates for northeastern Utah
Fred K. Fields, D. Briane Adams
1976, Open-File Report 75-673
This report shows how information from 44 air-temperature, 59 precipitation, and 86 streamflow sites was converted to a common-time base of 1941-70, and how general relations were developed to extend the converted point values to unsampled sites.Two methods, regression and ratio, were used to convert the data to a common-time...
Principal facts for gravity stations in the Nevada portion of the Mariposa 2 degrees sheet
D.L. Healey
1976, Open-File Report 76-58
The northeast corner of the Mariposa 2° topographic sheet occurs within the State of Nevada (fig. 1) and includes parts of Mineral and Esmeralda Counties. In this area field crews of the U.S. Geological Survey have established 95 gravity observations in conjunction with geologic studies being made as part of...
Lineaments on Skylab photographs: detection, mapping and hydrologic significance in central Tennessee
Gerald K. Moore
1976, Open-File Report 76-196
Lineaments were detected on SKYLAB photographs by stereo viewing , projection viewing, and composite viewing. Large well yields of 25 gal/min or more can be obtained in the study area by locating future wells on SKYLAB lineaments rather than on lineaments detected on either high-altitude aerial photographs, LANDSAT images, or...

FORTRAN computer program for seismic risk analysis
Robin K. McGuire
1976, Open-File Report 76-67
A program for seismic risk analysis is described which combines generality of application, efficiency and accuracy of operation, and the advantage of small storage requirements. The theoretical basis for the program is first reviewed, and the computational algorithms used to apply this theory are described. The information required for running...

15/16 ips Operation of the Precision Instrument Company Model P15100 tape recorder to record the standard (30 Hz) NCER seismic data multiplex system
Jerry P. Eaton
1976, Open-File Report 76-252
In recent months the need has arisen to record special seismic networks consisting of a dozen or more standard NCER seismic systems telemetered to a central collection point on a reliable, portable, low-power tape recorder. Because of its simplicity and the ease with which it can be adapted for the...

Geology and hydrology of radioactive solid-waste burial grounds at the Hanford Reservation, Washington
Albert Mario LaSala, Gene C. Doty
1976, Open-File Report 75-625
The geology and hydrology of radioactive solid waste burial grounds at the Hanford Reservation were investigated, using existing data, by the U.S. Geological Survey as part of the waste management plan of the Richland Operations Office of the Energy Research and Development Administration. The purpose of the investigation was to...

A preliminary synthesis of structural, stratigraphic, and magnetic data from part of the northwest Adirondacks, New York
M. P. Foose, C. Ervin Brown
1976, Open-File Report 76-281
Synthesis of recent work in the NW Adirondacks, New York allows the development of a coherent geologic picture. Mapping of the Precambrian rock units enables the recognition of four major units which are, from bottom to top, 1) Granitic Gneiss (alaskite), 2) Lower Marble, 3) Major Gneiss, and 4) Upper...
Economic worth of hydrologic data in project design: An application to regional energy development
M.R. Karlinger
1976, Open-File Report 76-316
The linkage between the benefits to a regional economy from a water-dependent industry and the statistical uncertainty of the water supply that is needed in the production process is analyzed using a Bayesian scheme of expected-expected benefits of hydrologic data. In this analysis, expected benefits are calculated using anticipated streamflow...
Lightweight aggregate production from claystone and shale in Bangladesh
Norbert A. Parker, M.A. Khan
1976, Open-File Report 76-163
Muffle furnace tests were made on samples of clay, claystone, and shale collected in the Chittagong and Dacca areas of East Pakistan to determine their amenability to bloating for the commercial production of light-weight aggregate. Several areas, sampled in some detail, were selected for investigation because of their proximity to...
Lead isotope data bank; 2,624 samples and analyses cited
Bruce R. Doe
1976, Open-File Report 76-201
The Lead Isotope Data Bank (LIDB) was initiated to facilitate plotting data. Therefore, the Bank reflects data most often used in plotting rather than comprises a comprehensive tabulation of lead isotope data. Up until now, plotting was done using card decks processed by computer with tapes plotted by a Gerber...
