1972, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-C3
This report is one of a series concerning the concepts, measurement, laboratory procedures, and computation of fluvial-sediment discharge. Material in this report includes procedures and forms used to compile and evaluate particle-size and concentration data, to compute fluvial-sediment discharge, and to prepare sediment records for publication....
Energy resources of the United States
P. K. Theobald, Stanley P. Schweinfurth, Donald Cave Duncan
1972, Circular 650
Estimates are made of United States resources of coal, petroleum liquids, natural gas, uranium, geothermal energy, and oil from oil shale. The estimates, compiled by specialists of the U.S. Geological Survey, are generally made on geologic projections of favorable rocks and on anticipated frequency of the energy resource in the...

Estimated use of water in the United States in 1970
Charles Richard Murray, E. Bodette Reeves
1972, Circular 676
Estimates of water use in the United States in 1970 indicate that an average of about 370 bgd (billion gallons per day)about 1,800 gallons per capita per day--was withdrawn for the four principal off-channel uses which are (1) public-supply (for domestic, commercial, and industrial uses), (2) rural (domestic and livestock),...

A quick transcribing technique for oral data
David Schleicher
1972, Open-File Report 72-330
Stenographic techniques offer a means for transcribing oral data accurately and efficiently. In one such application, during five Appolo lunar missions, a rough but helpful transcript was produced within minutes. Similarly, lectures, conferences, and audio tapes can be accurately transcribed as promptly as necessary. Computer programs for translating shorthand notes...

Interim results of geological investigations in the vicinity of the Ergani-Maden massive copper deposits near Maden, Elazig, Turkey
A.E. Weisseborn, Omer Oner, Metin Sengun
1972, Open-File Report 72-446
As a result of geologic studies and geochemical reconnaissance by Griffitts, Albers, and brier in 1969 in the Ergani-Maden district of eastern Turkey, seven areas were recommended for more detailed investigation. Two of these, here termed Areas 1 and 2, were mapped geologically and sampled geochemically in June and July...
Reconnaissance geology of the Bi'r Al Badriyah quadrangle, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
William C. Overstreet, J. W. Whitlow, V.P. Kahr, A.O. Ankary
1972, Open-File Report 72-283
The Bi'r al Badriyah quadrangle covers an area of 2843 sq km in the extreme eastern part of the Precambrian Shield in central Saudi Arabia. The Precambrian rocks in the southeastern part of the area are unconformably overlain by limestone of Permian age, which occupies only a small part of...

Reconnaissance geologic map of the west half of the Solomon quadrangle, Alaska
C.L. Sainsbury, Travis Hudson, Rodney Ewing, William R. Marsh
1972, Open-File Report 72-324
The Solomon quadrangle adjoins the Bering Sea east of Nome, Alaska. It has a common west border with the Nome quadrangle (Sainsbury and others, 1972b) and a common north border with the Bendeleben 1:250,000- scale quadrangle.Part of the area was mapped by Smith (1910), who discussed the rocks in some...
Brief description as of April, 1968, of the geology and hydrology of the Lake Minnequa area, Pueblo, Colorado, and suggested solutions for trouble caused by a high water table
Glenn R. Scott
1972, Open-File Report 72-344
Lake Minnequa lies in a poorly drained broad upland buried valley west of the valley of Salt Creek. Immediately north of Lake Minnequa the buried valley is sharply constricted in sees. 11 and 12, T. 21 S., R. 65 W., where it is entrenched in a buried ridge of bedrock...

Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Skagway area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle, Richard Walter Lemke
1972, Open-File Report 72-454
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started promptly after the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report is a product of that program. Field-study methods were largely reconnaissance, and thus the interpretations in...
Revised age and structural interpretations of the Nuka Formation at Nuka Ridge, northwestern Alaska
Irvin L. Tailleur, Bernard L. Mamet, J. Thomas Dutro Jr.
1972, Open-File Report 72-372
New collections of foraminifers and macrofossils from Nuka Ridge, the type area of the enigmatic Nuka Formation, demonstrate that the type Nuka Formation contains at least two, and probably several, thrust sheets instead of a single continuous stratigraphic sequence as originally described....

Patrick James Barosh, Salim Sermin, Ilker Gencel, Metin Sengun, Frank Ekren
1972, Open-File Report 72-25
The junction of several major structures and stratigraphic sequences is in the Konakpinar-Sarica area of central Turkey. Most of the area is underlain by Upper Jurassic to Cretaceous limeston and siltstone, early Tertiary sedimentary rock, and remnants of younger volcanic rocks and lacustrine deposits. The northeastern part of the area,...
