Ice-gouge data, Beaufort Sea, Alaska, 1972-1980
Douglas M. Rearic, Peter W. Barnes, Erk Reimnitz
1981, Open-File Report 81-950
The interaction of sea ice with the sea floor is an important factor affecting geologic processes on high latitude shelves. One of the most obvious forms of this interaction is the formation of furrow-like gouges or the sea floor. These gouges are caused by wind- and current-driven ice masses that...
Hydrologic effects of stress-relief fracturing in an Appalachian Valley
Granville G. Wyrick, James W. Borchers
1981, Water Supply Paper 2177
A hydrologic study at Twin Falls State Park, Wyoming County, West Virginia, was made to determine how fracture systems affect the occurrence and movement of ground water in a typical valley of the Appalachian Plateaus Physiographic Province. Twin Falls was selected because it is generally unaffected by factors that would...

Erodibility of selected soils and estimates of sediment yields in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico
Rebecca M. Summer
1981, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-44
Onsite rainfall-simulation experiments were conducted to derive field-erodibility indexes for rangeland soils and soils disturbed by mining in coal fields of northwestern New Mexico. Mean indexes on rangeland soils range from 0 grams (of detached soil) on dune soil to 121 grams on wash-transport zones. Mean field-erodibility-index values of soils...

Dissolution of sphalerite in ferric chloride solution
Huai Su
1981, Open-File Report 81-609
The dissolution of sphalerite in acidic ferric chloride solution of polished flat surfaces and of spherical particle surface was investigated. Tests were conducted on sphalerite to study rate of dissolution by the effects of stirring speed, temperature, ferric and ferrous concentrations, purity, and particle size.Kinetic investigations were conducted in a...

1981, Open-File Report 81-221
The need for large quantities of energy has created interest in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Extensive development of this coal, which may include on-site steam-power generation, gasification, liquefaction, and slurry-pipeline transport of the coal out of the region, would place a heavy demand on...
