Seismicity map of the State of Missouri
C. W. Stover, B.G. Reagor, S. T. Algermissen
1979, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1155
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...
Seismicity map of the State of Mississippi
C. W. Stover, B.G. Reagor, S. T. Algermissen
1979, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1058
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...
Hydrologic effects of annually diverting 131,000 acre-feet of water from Dillon Reservoir, central Colorado
William M. Alley, D. P. Bauer, J.E. Veenhuis, Robert Brennan
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-2
Because of the increased demands for water in eastern Colorado, principally in the urbanizing Denver metropolitan area, increased diversions of water from Dillon Reservoir are planned. Estimates of end-of-month storage in Dillon Reservoir, assuming the reservoir was in place and 131,000 acre-feet of water were diverted from the reservoir each...
Water quality in the proposed Prosperity Reservoir area, Center Creek Basin, Missouri
James H. Barks, Wayne R. Berkas
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-22
Water in Center Creek basin, Mo., upstream from the proposed Prosperity Reservoir damsite is a calcium bicarbonate type that is moderately mineralized, hard, and slightly alkaline. Ammonia and organic nitrogen, phosphorus, total organic carbon, chemical oxygen demand, and bacteria increased considerably during storm runoff, probably due to livestock wastes. Nitrogen...
Flood elevations for the Sooes River at proposed fish hatchery, Clallam County, Washington; a surface-water site study
J.H. Bartells
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-130
Water-surface elevations were derived for various combinations of selected river discharges and tide elevations along a reach of the Sooes River 3 miles upstream from the mouth at the site of a proposed fish hatchery in Clallam County, Washington. Flood-frequency analyses determined river discharges having exceedence probabilities of 1, 2,...
Comparison of selected cultural, physical, and water-quality characteristics of lakes in Washington
Gilbert Carl Bortleson, N. P. Dion
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-62
This report presents comparisons and a graphical overview of the relative magnitude and the regional and statewide distribution of 19 selected cultural, physical, and water-quality characteristics measured in a reconnaissance study of several hundred lakes in Washington. The selected characteristics presented for each lake include types of land use in...
Hydrologic data for a subsurface waste-injection site at Mulberry, Florida; 1972-77
William Edward Wilson, David C. Parsons, R. M. Spechler
1979, Open-File Report 79-683
Since October 1972, industrial liquid waste has been injected into a brine aquifer of limestone and dolomite in Mulberry, FL., at a depth of more than 4,000 feet below land surface. During 1977, the injection rate was about 8.8 million gallons per month. To determine what effect the injected waste...
Surveying Antarctica: from dogsled to satellite
Richard S. Williams Jr.
1979, Air and Space (3) 3-4
Base maps of Antarctica are needed at scales of 1:250,000 to plot scientific data, yet after 20 years of a major mapping effort, only about 20 percent of the continent has been accurately mapped using aerial photographs and ground surveys. Encompassing nearly 14.3 million square kilometers (5.5 million square miles),...
Satellite-aided evaluation of population exposure to air pollution
William J. Todd, Anthony J. George Jr., Nevin A. Bryant
1979, Environmental Science & Technology (13) 970-974
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 set schedules for states to implement regional, spatial assessments of air quality impacts. Accordingly, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently published guidelines for quantifying population exposure to adverse air quality impact by using air quality and population data by census tracts. Our research...
Satellites monitor Atlanta regional development
William J. Todd, C.C. Blackmon, R.G. Rudasill Jr.
1979, Practicing Planner (9) 6-10
Since the adoption of a Regional Development Plan in 1975, the Atlanta Regional Commission has investigated methods for monitoring regional development patterns in a periodic, efficient manner. A promising approach appears to be the use of Landsat satellite data. In cooperation with the Earth Resources Observation Systems (EROS) Data Center,...
Inventory and mapping of flood inundation using interactive digital image analysis techniques
Wayne G. Rohde, Charles A. Nelson, J. V. Taranik
1979, Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (5) 43-52
LANDSAT digital data and color infra-red photographs were used in a multiphase sampling scheme to estimate the area of agricultural land affected by a flood. The LANDSAT data were classified with a maximum likelihood algorithm. Stratification of the LANDSAT data, prior to classification, greatly reduced misclassification errors. The classification results...
What is a picture worth? A history of remote sensing
Gerald K. Moore
1979, Hydrological Sciences Bulletin (24) 477-485
Remote sensing is the use of electromagnetic energy to measure the physical properties of distant objects. It includes photography and geophysical surveying as well as newer techniques that use other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The history of remote sensing begins with photography. The origin of other types of remote...
Infrared film for aerial photography
William H. Anderson
1979, Irrigation Age (13) 68-69
Considerable interest has developed recently in the use of aerial photographs for agricultural management. Even the simplest hand-held aerial photographs, especially those taken with color infrared film, often provide information not ordinarily available through routine ground observation. When fields are viewed from above, patterns and variations become more apparent,...
