Linear features determined from Landsat imagery in North Dakota
M. E. Cooley
1983, Open-File Report 83-937
The report consists of a map (scale 1:500,000) that shows the linear features determined from Landsat imagery in North Dakota. The linear features, sometimes called linear trends or lineaments, are not identified as to type or origin. Most probably represent fractures or fracture zones, which may affect the movement of...
Use of digital land-cover data from the Landsat satellite in estimating streamflow characteristics in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee
E. F. Hollyday, G.R. Hansen
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4059
Streamflow may be estimated with regression equations that relate streamflow characteristics to characteristics of the drainage basin. A statistical experiment was performed to compare the accuracy of equations using basin characteristics derived from maps and climatological records (control group equations) with the accuracy of equations using basin characteristics derived from...
Linear features determined from Landsat imagery in Wyoming
M. E. Cooley
1983, Open-File Report 83-935
This map is one of a series of linear-features maps compiled for the U.S. Geological Survey's Northern Great Plains Regional Aquifer System Analysis (U.S. Geological Survey, 1979).  This map shows the linear features that were recognized in Wyoming.  Other maps in the series cover South Dakota (Cooley, 1983a), Montana (Cooley,...
Preliminary map of limonitic hydrothermal alteration for portions of the Needles 1° x 2° quadrangle, Arizona and California
Gary L. Raines
1983, Open-File Report 83-421
Portions of the Needles quadrangle have been designated by the Bureau of Land Management as potential wilderness areas and are being evaluated by a multidisciplinary team to determine the mineral-resource potential. As a part of this study Landsat images are being used to map the generalized distribution of limonitic materials...
The Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program: Background information to accompany folio of geologic and mineral resource maps of the Ambler River quadrangle, Alaska
Charles F. Mayfield, I.L. Tailleur, N. R. Albert, Inyo Ellersieck, Donald Grybeck, S. W. Hackett
1983, Circular 793
The Ambler River quadrangle, consisting of 14,290 km2 (5,520 mi2) in northwest Alaska, was investigated by an interdisciplinary research team for the purpose of assessing the mineral resource potential of the quadrangle. This report provides background information for a folio of maps on the geology, reconnaissance geochemistry, aeromagnetics, Landsat imagery,...
General characteristics and availability of Landsat 3 and heat capacity mapping mission thermal infrared data
C. Scott Southworth
1983, Open-File Report 83-123
Two satellite systems launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1978 carried sensors which operated in the thermal infrared (IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum, The final IR radiation data provide spectral information about the physical properties of the Earth's surficial materials not duplicated in either the...
The Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program: Guide to information contained in folio of geologic and mineral resource maps of the Philip Smith Mountains quadrangle, Alaska
H. N. Reiser, W. P. Brosge, T. D. Hamilton, D.A. Singer, W. D. Menzie II, K. J. Bird, J. W. Cady, J. R. Le Compte, J.B. Cathrall
1983, Circular 759
The geology and mineral resources of the Philip Smith Mountains quadrangle were virtually unexplored until the investigations for oil began in northern Alaska. Construction of the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline System has now made the quadrangle accessible by road. In 1975 and 1976 a team of geologists, geochemists, and geophysicists investigated the...
Landsat analysis for uranium exploration in Northeast Turkey
Keenan Lee
1983, Open-File Report 83-99
No uranium deposits are known in the Trabzon, Turkey region, and consequently, exploration criteria have not been defined. Nonetheless, by analogy with uranium deposits studied elsewhere, exploration guides are suggested to include dense concentrations of linear features, lineaments -- especially with northwest trend, acidic plutonic rocks, and alteration indicated by...
Estimating 1980 ground-water pumpage for irrigation on the High Plains in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming
F.J. Heimes, R. R. Luckey
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4123
Current ground-water use is required for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System Analysis. In response to this need, a sampling approach was developed to estimate water pumped for irrigation on the High Plains during 1980. Pumpage was computed by combining application estimates with mapped irrigated-acreage information. Irrigation application (inches of water...
Lithologic mapping using Landsat thematic mapper data
M. H. Podwysocki, J.W. Salisbury, O. D. Jones, D.L. Mimms
1983, Pecora VIII Symposium 169-169
The Landsat-4 Thematic Mapper (TM), with its new near infrared bands centered at 1.65 μm and 2.20 μm and spatial resolution of 30 m has been used to distinguish rocks containing minerals having ferric-iron absorption bands in the visible and near-infrared and Al-O- and CO3 absorption bands in the 2.1-2.4...
Evaluation of thematic mapper data for natural resource assessment
R. H. Haas, F. A. Waltz
1983, Conference Paper, Pecora VIII Symposium
The U.S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center evaluated the utility of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) date for natural resource assessment, emphasizing manual interpretation and digital classification of the data for U.S. Department of the Interior applications. Substantially more information was derived from TM data than from Landsat Multispectral Scanner...
