1970, Open-File Report 70-116
The Wadi Bidah district in southwest Saudi Arabia contains several ancient mines and mineral-prospects. The Precambian rocks of the district are steeply dipping and highly folded and faulted. They are divided into three major units: (1) older metavolcanic rocks, (2) metasedimentary rocks, and (3) younger metavolcanic rocks. Massive sulfide-type deposits...

Hydraulic tests in hole UA-1 and water inflow into an underground chamber, Amchitka Island, Alaska
Wilbur C. Ballance
1970, Open-File Report 70-16
Hole UA-1 was center punched (a small-diameter exploratory hole drilled ahead of the large-diameter emplacement hole) from 1,524.0 to 1,981.2 meters (5,000 to 6,500 feet) and hydraulically tested to determine an ideal location for mining a chamber. Fifteen zones were tested; minor amounts of water bypassed the packers during five...

A proposed streamflow-data program in Alaska
J.M. Childers
1970, Open-File Report 70-62
The streamflow-data program in Alaska was analyzed to design a better data network. The analysis included (1) definition of the goals of the streamflow-data program, (2) evaluation of the available data to see which goals have already been achieved, and (3) consideration and recommendation of future programs to achieve the...
Flood frequency in Alaska
J.M. Childers
1970, Open-File Report 70-63
Records of peak discharge at 183 sites were used to study flood frequency in Alaska. The vast size of Alaska, its great ranges of physiography, and the lack of data for much of the State precluded a comprehensive analysis of all flood determinants. Peak stream discharges, where gaging-station records were...

Atlantic Continental Shelf and Slope of the United States - Ostracode zoogeography in the southern Nova Scotian and northern Virginian faunal provinces
Joseph E. Hazel Jr.
1970, Professional Paper 529-E
Ostracodes were identified from 236 bottom samples taken in the region from Nova Scotia to Long Island. There is a distinctive difference between the assemblages in the northern and southern parts of this region. Many sublittoral cryophilic species are not present south of Cape Cod or the Northeast Channel, and...
