A reconnaissance study of the U and Th contents of plutonic rocks of the southeastern Seward Peninsula, Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Carl M. Bunker
1975, Open-File Report 75-217
Large granitic Cretaceous plutons are exposed along and adjacent to an arcuate belt of igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks in the southeastern Seward Peninsula of Alaska. Reconnaissance studies of these plutons have shown that the Darby pluton has well above average amounts of U and Th (11.2 ppm and 58.7...
Problems related to water quality and algal control in Lopez Reservoir, San Luis Obispo County, California
Richard H. Fuller, Robert C. Averett, Walter G. Hines
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-47
Lopez Reservoir is a multipurpose impoundment that was filled during a 30-week period following a series of intense storms during the winter 1968-69. The reservoir is used for flood control, water supply, and recreation, including swimming, fishing, and boating. At full pool Lopez Reservoir has a surface area of 974...

1975, Open-File Report 75-567
This report has been compiled to provide background information and detailed temperature and thermal conductivity data for the heat-flow values reported in Sass, Jaeger, and Munroe (in press). The data were collected as part of a joint heat-flow study by the Australian National University (ANU) and the U.S. Geological Survey...
Copper, lead, zinc, antimony, and arsenic in Pakistan
Max Gregg White
1975, Open-File Report 75-162
Copper localities that merit geological investigation are found in the western Chasai District, in North Waziristan Agency, and in the Salt Range in Mianwali and Sargodha Districts. No high-grade deposits have been .reported from these ,areas and if deposits are developed they will likely be low-grade, high-tonnage, disseminated deposits. Those...
A digital-computer model for estimating drawdowns in the sandstone aquifer in Dane County, Wisconsin
R.S. McLeod
1975, Open-File Report 74-59
A digital-computer program was developed to compute nonsteady and steady-state hydrologic changes caused by pumping from a confined aquifer. The program computes head changes in the confined aquifer and the rate and volume of water withdrawn from aquifer boundaries.The program was used to model the sandstone aquifer underlying Dane County,...
Lithology and chemical analyses of core and cuttings from USGS drill hole near Gold Acres, Lander County, Nevada

1975, Open-File Report 75-363
Upper Paleozoic to Mesozoic eolian blanket sandstones of the Colorado Plateau and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and southern Wyoming are texturally complex. As petroleum reservoirs they commonly have poor performance histories. They contain the sediments of a depositional system comprised of three closely associated depositional subenvironments: dune, interdune, and...

1975, Professional Paper 924
Hurricane Agnes originated in the Caribbean Sea region in mid-June. Circulation barely reached hurricane intensity for a brief period in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm crossed the Florida Panhandle coastline on June 19, 1972, and followed an unusually extended overland trajectory combining with an extratropical system to bring very...

Niobium (columbium) and tantalum resources of Brazil
Max Gregg White
1975, Open-File Report 75-29
Most of the niobium resources of Brazil occur as pyrochlore in carbonatites within syenitic intrusives of Late Cretaceous to early Tertiary age in western Minas Gerais and southeastern Goils. Minor amounts of it are produced together with tantalum from columbite-tantalite concentrates from pegmatites and placers adjacent to them, in the...
Ground water in the Grand (Neosho) River basin, Kansas and Oklahoma
Robert B. Morton, Stuart W. Fader
1975, Open-File Report 75-366
Ground water in the Grand (Neosho) River basin occurs in both consolidated rocks and unconsolidated deposits. Water for domestic and stock supplies generally can be obtained from wells in either of the above deposits. Water for municipal, industrial, and irrigation supplies generally can be obtained in limited quantities from the...

Estimate of sediment discharges, Santa Ana River at Santa Ana and Santa Maria River at Guadalupe, California
Carl G. Kroll
1975, Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-40
The computed sediment discharge of Santa Ana River at Santa Ana for the water years 1968-71 was 11,700,000 tons (10,600,000 tonnes) of suspended sediment and 5,000,000 tons (4,500,000 tonnes) of coarse sediment. The computed discharge of Santa Maria River at Guadalupe for the water years 1969-71 was 9,500,000 tons (8,600,000...
Sulfur, fluorspar, magnesite, and aluminous chromite in Pakistan
Raymond H. Nagell
1975, Open-File Report 75-496
Reports and analyses on elemental sulfur, fluorspar, magnesite, and aluminous chromite were reviewed for the purpose of identifying and categorizing the known deposits, and to indicate those which seem to merit further study on the basis of available information. General conclusions drawn from the study are: (1) Although aluminous chromite...

Analysis of the side looking airborn radar imagery of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island indicates that radar shows the topography in great detail. Since bedrock geologic features are frequently expressed in the topography the radar lends itself to geologic interpretation. The radar was studied by comparisons with field mapped geologic...
