1980, Open-File Report 80-509
The U.S. Geological Survey collected approximately 1,200 km each of airgun and minisparker single-channel seismic-reflection profiles during the R/V FAY cruise 023 in September 1976. The purpose of the 6-day cruise was to study the shallow sedimentary structure south and east of southern Massachusetts and to obtain magnetic and gravity...
Simulated water-level declines near Marienthal, west-central Kansas
Lloyd E. Dunlap
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-39
Intensive study in an area of 12-square miles near Marienthal, Kansas, has shown a decrease of 30 to 50 percent in saturated thickness of the Ogallala Formation since the development of irrigation. Projections from a digital model indicated the additional water-level declines that might occur from 1978 to 1989 if...

A review and evaluation of alternatives for updating U.S. Geological Survey land use and land cover maps
Valerie A. Milazzo
1980, Circular 826
Since 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey has been engaged in a nationwide program of baseline mapping of land use and land cover and associated data at a scale of 1:250,000. As l:100,000-scale bases have become available, they have been used for mapping certain areas and for special applications. These two...

The earthquake data shown on this map and listed in table 1 are a list of earthquakes that were originally used in preparing the Seismic Risk Studies in the United States in the United States (Algermissen, 1969) which have been recompiled and updated through 1977. These data have been reexamined...
Reconnaissance snow survey of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, April-May 1979
William J. Glude, Charles E. Sloan
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-49
Moderately low snowfall and an early and abrupt spring thaw resulted in removal of most of the snow cover from the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) before the snow survey of April 30 through May 2, 1979. Logistical problems and lack of snow permitted sampling at only seven sites....

1980, Open-File Report 80-378
Studies conducted in the San Francisco Bay Region (Gibbs, Fumal and Borcherdt, 1980) have shown that average shear-wave velocity can be readily tied to quantitative estimates of ground motion such as ground amplification and earthquake intensity. Furthermore, when certain physical properties of the geologic materials such as texture, hardness and...

The Boulder Creek batholith is the best known of several large Precambrian batholiths of similar rock composition that crop out across central Colorado. The rocks in the batholith belong to the calc-alkaline series and range in composition from granodiorite through quartz diorite (tonalite) to gneissic aplite. Two rock types dominate':...

Waste-assimilation capacity of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colorado, as it relates to water-quality guidelines and stream classification
Doug Cain, Duaina Baldridge, Patrick Edelmann
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-82
The waste-assimilation capacity of a 42-mile reach of the Arkansas River in Pueblo County, Colo., was evaluated using a one-dimensional steady-state water-quality model. The model was calibrated and verified using hydraulic and water-quality data collected in 1976 and 1979. The water-quality con-stituents modeled were 5-day carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand, total...
