Selected hydrologic data, Chester County, Pennsylvania
Laurence J. McGreevy, Ronald A. Sloto
1976, Report
This report presents selected hydrologic data collected during a study of the ground-water resources of Chester County, Pennsylvania. The study was made during 1973-76 by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Chester County Water Resources Authority. This report is intended to make the data conveniently available and...
Flood frequency of Mississippi streams
B.E. Colson, James W. Hudson
1976, Report
Techniques have been developed for estimating future flood magnitudes having recurrence intervals as great as 100 years. Estimates for gaged sites were obtained by application of the log-Pearson Type III frequency distribution. Estimates for ungaged sites are defined by mathematical relations which may be solved using data from topographic maps....
Geothermal handbook
1976, FWS/OBS 76/36
The Bureau of Land Management offered over 400,000 hectares (one million acres) for geothermal exploration and development in 1975, and figure is expected to double this year. The Energy Research and Development Administration hopes for 10-15,000 megawatts of geothermal energy by 1985, which would require, leasing over 16.3 million hectares...
Textural variation within Great Salt Lake algal mounds
Robert B. Halley
1976, Book chapter, Stromatolites
This chapter discusses textural variation within the Great Salt Lake algal mounds. Great Salt Lake algal mounds contain: (1) a framework of non-skeletal, algally induced aragonite precipitates; (2) internal sediment; and (3) inorganic cement. These three elements create a variety of laminated, poorly laminated, and unlaminated internal textures. Interior framework...
Monitoring Mount Baker Volcano
S. D. Malone, D. Frank
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 21-25
Hisotrically active volcanoes in the conterminous United States are restricted to the Cascade Range and extend to the Cascade Range and extend from Mount Baker near the Canadian border to Lassen Peak in northern California. Since 1800 A.D, most eruptive activity has been on a relatively small scale and has...
Earthquake history of Rhode Island
C. A. von Hake
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 31-32
Only three shocks (intensity V or greater, Modified Moercalli Scale) have centered in Rhode Island, although several earthquakes in New England and the St.Lawerence Valley have been felt in the State....
Mineralogy of ash of some American coals: Variations with temperature and source
R.S. Mitchell, H.J. Gluskoter
1976, Fuel (55) 90-96
Ten samples of mineral-matter residue were obtained by the radio-frequency low-temperature ashing of subbituminous and bituminous coals. The low-temperature ash samples were then heated progressively from 400 °C to 1400 °C at 100 °C intervals. Mineral phases present at each temperature interval were determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. The minerals...
The area of influence of an exploratory hole
D.A. Singer, L. J. Drew
1976, Economic Geology (71) 642-647
A method is presented for calculating the area of influence of exploratory drill holes by using the size and shape of resource targets. The solution presented is for elliptical and circular targets, but the method is applicable to any shaped target. The degree to which points have been explored depends...
The Lice, Turkey, earthquake of September 6, 1975; a preliminary engineering investigation
P. I. Yanev
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 4-9
The Fifth European Conference on Earthquake Engineering was held on September 22 through 25 in Istanbul, Turkey. The opening speech by the Honorable H. E. Nurettin Ok, Minister of Reconstruction and Resettlement of Turkey, introduced the several hundred delegates to the realities of earthquake hazards in Turkey:...
Fine structure of an unidentified protozoon in the epithelium of rainbow trout exposed to water with Myxosoma cerebralis
S.B. Daniels, R. L. Herman, C.N. Burke
1976, Journal of Protozoology (23) 402-410
An intracellular protozoon was discovered in the epithelium of young rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) exposed for as short a time as 1 hr to water known to contain infective stages of Myxosoma cerebralis. Light- and electron-microscopic examination of this tissue revealed what appeared to be a proliferative stage (presumptive schizont) of a...
Conditions in the deeper parts of the hot spring systems of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Alfred Hemingway Truesdell, Robert O. Fournier
1976, Open-File Report 76-428
Yellowstone thermal areas are scattered over an area of nearly 50 x 60 kilometers (Fig. 1) and contain waters of diverse compositions. This has lead to the implicit assumption that Yellowstone consisted of discrete hydrothermal systems (e.g., Fournier and Truesdell, 1970). It is the purpose of this paper to suggest...
Aseismic uplift in Southern California
Robert O. Castle, Jack P. Church, Michael R. Elliot
1976, Science (192) 251-253
Preliminary examination of the historic geodetic record has disclosed crustal uplift of 0.15 to 0.25 meter that apparently began around 1960 and has since grown to include at least 12,000 square kilometers of southern California. This uplift extends at least 150 kilometers west-northwestward along the San Andreas Fault from Cajon...
Capturing and marking howler monkeys for field behavioral studies
N.J. Scott Jr., A.F. Scott, L.A. Malmgren
1976, Primates (17) 527-533
Methods for capturing and marking howler monkeys for ecological studies are discussed. Systems for capturing and handling animals are compared. A dart with liquid Sernylan for capture and Sernylan or Ketamine as a holding drug was preferred to darts using powdered succinylcholine chloride (SCC) and ether. The effectiveness of both...
The national coal-resources data system of the U.S. geological survey
M.D. Carter
1976, Computers & Geosciences (2) 331-340
The National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) was designed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to meet the increasing demands for rapid retrieval of information on coal location, quantity, quality, and accessibility. An interactive conversational query system devised by the USGS retrieves information from the data bank through a standard...
Progress in remote sensing (1972-1976)
W. A. Fischer, W. R. Hemphill, Allan Kover
1976, Photogrammetria (32) 33-72
This report concerns the progress in remote sensing during the period 1972–1976. Remote sensing has been variously defined but is basically the art or science of telling something about an object without touching it. During the past four years, the major research thrusts have been in three areas: (1) computer-assisted enhancement and...
