Heat flow near Charleston, South Carolina
John P. Ziagos, J.H. Sass, Robert J. Munroe
1976, Open-File Report 76-148
As part of a study of the geology and geophysics of the Charleston, South Carolina, area, thermal conductivity, thermal gradient, and heat flow were determined in a 742 meter, continuously cored, test hole. The hole is located 41 km west-northwest of Charleston near Clubhouse Corners, Figure 1, directly over a...
Floods in Ohio: magnitude and frequency
Earl E. Webber, William P. Bartlett
1976, Open-File Report 76-768
Techniques are presented for estimating the magnitude ant frequency of floods on Ohio streams. .Regression analysis is used to develop equations which relate physical and climatic factors of river basins to peak discharge at stream gaging stations. The equations can be used to estimate flood magnitudes with recurrence intervals from...

Oxalic-acid leaching of rock, soil, and stream-sediment samples as an anomaly-accentuated technique
Henry V. Alminas, Elwin L. Mosier
1976, Open-File Report 76-275
In many instances total-rock and sieved-soil and stream-sediment samples lack the sensitivity and contrast required for reconnaissance exploration and necessary in the search for blind ore deposits. Heavy-mineral concentrates incorporate the required sensitivity and contrast but are overly expensive for two reasons: time-consuming sample preparation is required to obtain them,...

Laboratory hydraulic calibration of the Helley-Smith bedload sediment sampler
Leroy Druffel, W. W. Emmett, V.R. Schneider, J. V. Skinner
1976, Open-File Report 76-752
The Helley-Smith bedload sampler operates on a pressure-difference principle and consists of an expanding nozzle, nylon-mesh sample bag , and external components for structural integrity and stability under flow conditions. The Helley-Smith bedload sampler has a hydraulic efficiency, the ratio of the mean velocity in the sampler nozzle to the...
Reconnaissance of the water resources of the upper Klickitat River Basin, Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington
Denzel R. Cline
1976, Open-File Report 75-518
Large quantities of ground water and surface water are available in Washington County. Major sources of ground water are the Gosport Sand and Lisbon Formation undifferentiated, the Miocene Series undifferentiated, and alluvium and low terrace deposits. The Miocene, the most productive source of ground water, will yield 0.5 to 1.0...
A probabilistic estimate of maximum acceleration in rock in the contiguous United States
Sylvester Theodore Algermissen, David M. Perkins
1976, Open-File Report 76-416
This paper presents a probabilistic estimate of the maximum ground acceleration to be expected from earthquakes occurring in the contiguous United States. It is based primarily upon the historic seismic record which ranges from very incomplete before 1930 to moderately complete after 1960. Geologic data, primarily distribution of faults, have...

The potentiometric surface of the Magothy Aquifer on Long Island, New York, in March 1975
Keith R. Prince
1976, Open-File Report 76-536
A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer was drawn from water-level measurements made in March 1975. These measurements indicated a range in altitude of the potentiometric surface from more than 25 feet (7.62 metres) below mean sea level in Queens County to more than 80 feet (24.38...

Preliminary evaluation of the feasibility of artificial recharge in northern Qater
John Vecchioli
1976, Open-File Report 76-540
Fresh ground water in northern Qatar occurs as a lens in limestone and dolomite of Eocene age. Natural recharge from precipitation averages 17x106 cubic metres per year whereas current discharge averages 26.6x106 cubic metres per year. Depletion of storage is accompanied by a deterioration in quality due to encroachment of...
Geological Survey and selected U.S. Bureau of Mines and Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys reports and maps on Alaska released during 1975, indexed by quadrangle
Edward Huntington Cobb
1976, Open-File Report 76-332
All Geological Survey reports and maps on Alaska published or released to open files during 1975 are listed by the quadrangles (scale 1:250,000) into which Alaska has been divided for topographic mapping (p. 3). Also listed are U.S. Bureau of Mines reports on the geology and mineral resources of Alaska,...

Documentation of finite-difference model for simulation of three-dimensional ground-water flow
Peter C. Trescott, S. P. Larson
1976, Open-File Report 76-591
User experience has indicated that the documentation of the model of three-dimensional ground-water flow (Trescott and Larson, 1975) should be expanded. This supplement is intended to fulfill that need. The original report emphasized the theory of the strongly implicit procedure, instructions for using the groundwater-flow model, and practical considerations for...
