Geochemical prospecting for Carlin-type gold deposits
Sherman P. Marsh
1976, Open-File Report 76-335
Disseminated, Carlin-type, gold deposits are associated with a volatile suite of elements consisting of Hg, As, Sb, W, and sometimes, but not always, Au. Geochemical exploration for this type of disseminated deposit depends upon recognizing the significance of this volatile suite and interpreting it in light of other geologic and...

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...

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...
A study of the mineralogy and lithology of cuttings from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation MESA 6-2 Drillhole, Imperial County, California, including comparisons with MESA 6-1 Drillhole
R.B. Fournier
1976, Open-File Report 76-88
The Mesa 6-2 drillhole penetrates 6,000 feet of sediments in Imperial County, California. The cuttings material from the upper part of the drillhole is chiefly unconsolidated mud and silt. Soft siltstone fragments occur at about 1,400 feet and increase in amount down to 2,400 feet. Some pebbles are found above...

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...
Evaluation of hydrologic properties of the Long Island ground-water reservoir using cross-sectional electric-analog models
O.L. Franke, R.T. Getzen
1976, Open-File Report 75-679
Variables necessary for constructing a quantitative model to predict the response of ground-water reservoirs to hydrologic stresses are in four classes: (a) external and internal geometry of the reservoir, (b) nature of the reservoir boundaries, (c) areal distribution of horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities, and (d) areal distribution of storage...

In anticipation of oil and gas leasing of the outer continental shelf (OCS lease area 39) in the northeastern Gulf of Alaska, the U. S. Geological Survey began a regional reconnaissance in 1974. The study area, which extends from Prince William Sound on the west to Yakutat Bay on the...

Preliminary investigation of faults and folds along the inner edge of the coastal plain in northeastern Virginia
Robert B. Mixon, Wayne L. Newell
1976, Open-File Report 76-330
Four en-echelon northeast-trending structures, including southeast-dipping monoclines and northwest-dipping high-angle reverse-faults, have been mapped along the inner edge of the Coastal Plain in northeastern Virginia -- an area generally considered to be undeformed. Although displacements are small (15to 60 m), the structures markedly affect the present distribution and thickness of...
