1974, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (58) 1179-1190
To assess the area’s hydrocarbon potential, regional geologic and geophysical studies are being conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey to determine the structural framework of the United States Atlantic outer continental shelf (AOCS) north of Cape Hatteras. Preliminary interpretations of geophysical data suggest that the buried ridge under the eastern...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Wah Wah Valley drainage basin, Millard and Beaver Counties, Utah
Jerry C. Stephens
1974, Technical Publication 47
The Wah Wah Valley drainage basin is an area of about 600 square miles (1,550 km2) in Millard and Beaver Counties in southwestern Utah. Surface-water supplies of the area are negligible--total runoff averages about 7,800 acre-feet (9.62 hm3) annually, all streams are ephemeral or intermittent, and surface storage is negligible....
Analyses and economic potential of monazite in Liberia
Sam Rosenblum
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 689-692
Eleven monazite samples from Liberia, including seven from beach sands, were analyzed by the X-ray fluorescence method. The monazite samples, containing only one-half percent impurities, were obtained by use of a hot Clerici-solution procedure for purification which was devised by the author. The percentage of the rare-earth elements in Liberian...

Water resources inventory of Connecticut Part 5: lower Housatonic River basin
William E. Wilson, Edward L. Burke, Chester E. Thomas Jr.
1974, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 19
The 557 square miles of the lower Housatonic River basin in western Connecticut include the basins of two major tributaries, the Pomperaug and Naugatuck Rivers. Nearly all water is derived from precipitation, which averaged 47 inches per year during 1931-60, In this period an additional 570 billion gallons of water...

Data from 5,594 samples collected from 1931 through 2006 were used to describe naturally occurring fluoride concentrations in freshwater aquifers in Louisiana. Statistical analyses were used to summarize fluoride concentrations in the aquifers....
New activities at the U.S. Geological Survey
Vincent E. McKelvey
1974, Report
As the Nation's principal source of information about the configuration of the land surface, the composition and structure of the rocks at and beneath the surface, the distribution and character of its energy, mineral, and water resources, and the nature of natural geologic processes, the U. S. Geological Survey focuses...
Studying the Earth from space
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1974, Report
Pictures of the Earth's surface obtained from satellites are providing scientists with new tools to investigate tne Earth and its environment. A growing population and an everexpanding technology place demands on our natural resources. However, man can no longer treat his resources strictly according to immediate economic dictates; a balance...
Shore zone land use and land cover: Central Atlantic Regional Ecological Test Site
R. Dolan, B.P. Hayden, C.L. Vincent
1974, Natural Resources Report 8
Anderson's 1972 United States Geological Survey classification in modified form was applied to the barrier-island coastline within the CARETS region. High-altitude, color-infrared photography of December, 1972, and January, 1973, served as the primary data base in this study. The CARETS shore zone studied was divided into six distinct geographical regions;...

Presentation and interpretation of chemical data for igneous rocks
T. L. Wright
1974, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology (48) 233-248
Arguments are made in favor of using variation diagrams to plot analyses of igneous rocks and their derivatives and modeling differentiation processes by least-squares mixing procedures. These methods permit study of magmatic differentiation and related processes in terms ofall of the chemical data available. Data are presented as they are reported...
