In situ determination of heat flow in unconsolidated sediments
J.H. Sass, J.P. Kennelly, W.E. Wendt, T.H. Moses, J.P. Ziagos
1979, Open-File Report 79-593
Subsurface thermal measurements are the most effective, least ambiguous tools for identifying and delineating possible geothernml resources. Measurements of thermal gradient in the upper few tens of meters generally are sufficient to outline the major anomalies, but it is always desirable to combine these gradients with reliable estimates of thermal...

Water resources data for the 1978 water year for New Mexico consist of records of discharge and water quality of streams; stage, contents and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality in wells and springs. This report contains discharge records for 229 gaging stations; stage...
Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
Harvey E. Jobson, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Professional Paper 1136
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...
Comprehensive monitoring of meteorology, hydraulics, and thermal regime of the San Diego Aqueduct, California
Harvey E. Jobson, Alex M. Sturrock
1979, Professional Paper 1137
Water temperature, as well as meteorologic and hydraulic variables which influence the energy budget of the San Diego Aqueduct in southern California, were continuously monitored for a 1-year period beginning July 24, 1973. Incoming solar and atmospheric radiation, windspeed and direction, water temperature, and wet- and dry-bulb air temperatures were...

Regional metamorphism in the Condrey Mountain Quadrangle, north-central Klamath Mountains, California
Preston Enslow Hotz
1979, Professional Paper 1086
A subcircular area of about 650 km 2 in northern California and southwestern Oregon is occupied by rocks of the greenschist metamorphic facies called the Condrey Mountain Schist. This greenschist terrane is bordered on the east and west by rocks belonging to the amphibolite metamorphic facies that structurally overlie and...

Geologic map of the Amenthes Quadrangle of Mars
K.H. Hiller
1979, IMAP 1110
The Amenthes quadrangle includes two main physiographic and geologic subdivisions. In the southern part of the quadrangle, densely cratered plateaus rise about 3 km above sparsely to moderately cratered plains. The low plains that form Elysium Planitia also build the eastern flank of the Isidis basin, which mostly lies...

Preliminary report on an exploratory drill hole: New Madrid test well-1-X in Southeast Missouri
Anthony J. Crone, D. P. Russ
1979, Open-File Report 79-1216
As part of the U.S. Geological Survey's investigation of earthquake hazards in the upper Mississippi embayment, a test well (NMTW-l-X) was drilled in the "bootheel" of Missouri, 21 km south-southwest of the town of New Madrid. The primary purpose of the well was to obtain in situ stress measurements from...
Potential hazards from floodflows and debris movement in the Furnace Creek area, Death Valley National Monument, California-Nevada
John R. Crippen
1979, Open-File Report 79-991
Death Valley is known as the driest and hottest region in the United States. Despite the aridity of the valley itself, however , very heavy rainfall sometimes occurs in the nearby mountains. Such violent rainstorms are likely to be of relatively short duration and to occur over rather small areas;...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Wildcat Creek, Howard County, Indiana

1979, Open-File Report 79-1252
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Wildcat Creek was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality standards...
Sediment discharge in the Santa Clara River Basin, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, California
Rhea P. Williams
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-78
Sediment data collected in the Santa Clara River basin during the 1967-75 water years were analyzed to determine the particle size and quantity of sediment transported past three gaging stations. The total sediment discharge of the basin, computed from records of Santa Clara River at Montalvo for water years 1968-75,...

Sand dunes on the central Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland and Delaware
Charles Storrow Denny, James Patrick Owens
1979, Professional Paper 1067-C
Inconspicuous ancient sand dunes are present in parts of the central Delmarva Peninsula, Maryland and Delaware. Many dunes are roughly V-shaped, built by northwest winds, especially on the east sides of some of the large rivers. On the uplands, the form and spacing of the dunes are variable. A surficial...
