Stratigraphy of mid-Cretaceous formations at drilling sites in Weston and Johnson counties, northeastern Wyoming
E.A. Mereweather
1980, Professional Paper 1186-A
The sedimentary rocks of early Late Cretaceous age in Weston County, Wyo., on the east flank of the Powder River Basin, are assigned, in ascending order, to the Belle Fourche Shale, Greenhorn Formation, and Carlile Shale. In Johnson County, on the west flank of the basin, the lower Upper Cretaceous...
U.S. Geological Survey role in earthquake prediction
David P. Hill
1980, Open-File Report 80-144
Work in the Seismology Branch on the problem of earthquake prediction is based primarily on the recording and analysis of seismic (elastic) waves in the Earth generated either by earthquakes themselves or by artificial sources such as quarry blasts or explosions detonated in drill holes. At the present time this...
Streamflow characteristics of the Yellowstone River Basin, Montana, through 1976
L. Grady Moore, Ronald R. Shields
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-41
Statistical summaries of streamflow data for selected stream-gaging and crest-stage gage sites are presented in this report to aid in appraising the hydrology of the Yellowstone River basin, Montana. Streamflow records presented for 45 gaging stations and 45 crest-stage gages for the period of record. Streamflow record collection in the...
Maps showing coal resources of the Jewell Bridge Quadrangle, Buchanan and Tazewell counties, Virginia
Kenneth J. Englund, Nancy K. Teaford
1980, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1211
Coal of low-volatile to high-volatile A bituminous rank is the principal developed mineral resource in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle. The coal beds in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle contain total estimated original resources of 1,519 million tons. Of this total, 108 million tons have been mined or lost in mining, leaving...
Estimating the costs of landslide damage in the United States
Robert W. Fleming, Fred A. Taylor
1980, Circular 832
Landslide damages are one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States. A recent estimate of the total annual cost of landslide damage is in excess of $1 billion {Schuster, 1978}. The damages can be significantly reduced, however, through the combined action of technical experts, government, and the...

Flood-prone area maps of three sites along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Alaska
Robert D. Lamke, Stanley H. Jones
1980, Open-File Report 80-209
The Bureau of Land Management requested on May 3, 1979 that the U.S. Geological Survey determine the base (100-year) flood-plain limits at three sites (fig. 1) along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System Highway (Haul Road) between the Yukon River and Prudhoe Bay in order to issue land-use permits. The Alaska Department...

Recent vegetation changes along the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead, Arizona
Raymond Marriner Turner, Martin M. Karpiscak
1980, Professional Paper 1132
Vegetation changes in the canyon of the Colorado River between Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Mead were studied by comparing photographs taken prior to completion of Glen Canyon Dam in 1963 with photographs taken afterwards at the same sites. In general, the older pictures show an absence of riparian plants...
