Schmidt hammer test method for field determination of physical properties of zeolitized tuff
John R. Ege, Danny R. Miller, Walter Danilchik
1970, Open-File Report 70-117
The L-type Schmidt hammer is a hand-carried impact instrument that was originally designed and developed to test the compressive strength of concrete. When properly impacted against a stiff material the device measures the amount of rebound of a spring-loaded hammer, with the rebound of the hammer being directly proportional to...
Geologic setting of Merrill Lake and evaluation of volcanic hazards in the Kalama River valley near Mount St. Helens, Washington
Jack H. Hyde
1970, Open-File Report 70-169
Volcanic rocks and unconsolidated geologic deposits in the upper Kalama River valley were studied in order to determine the kind of catastrophic geologic events that might accompany a future eruption of Mount St. Helens. The chief purpose of the study was to appraise the potential geologic hazards at the site...
Economic evaluation of a marble deposit and a kyanite deposit northeast of Al Lith, southern Hijaz quadrangle, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Part I, Marble deposit on Wadi Minsah: Part II, Kyanite deposit near Wadi Ad Arj
David L. Gaskill
1970, Open-File Report 70-133
Nearly pure, white and gray banded calcite marble, 40 to 170 meters thick, crops out in three hogback ridges aggregating about 1200 meters in length, located 155 kilometers southeast of Jiddah. The ridges are aligned along a belt over 2.5 kilometers long. The marble is steeply inclined and folded between...

Geologic map of the Arvada quadrangle, Colorado
Robert M. Lindvall
1970, Open-File Report 70-198
Many of the engineering-geologic problems in the Arvada quadrangle are related to the unconsolidated surficial deposits, which mantle the bedrock to depths of as much as 40 or 50 feet. In this report most of the emphasis is placed on the map distribution of these materials and on a description...

Preliminary description of cores, chemical analyses of lignite beds, and map showing locations of holes drilled in Grant, Hettinger, Morton, and Stark Counties, North Dakota
H.L. Smith
1970, Open-File Report 70-308
Nineteen exploratory holes were drilled in Grant, Hettinger, Morton, and Stark Counties, N. Dak. (fig. 1), for the U.S. Geological Survey from June 7 to September 15, 1966. This prospect drilling was undertaken to gather data on the thickness, quality, and extent of lignite beds and the lithologic characteristics of...

Accoustical survey of Massachusetts and Cape Cod Bays, western Gulf of Maine
Brian E. Tucholke, Robert N. Oldale, C. D. Hollister
1970, Open-File Report 70-331
The accompanying map shows the amount of acoustic penetration achieved in the sediments of the western Gulf of Maine using a 3.5 kHz echo sounding system and illustrates the pronounced control of topography on sediment distribution. Little or no sub-bottom penetration was observed in areas of sand and gravel on...

Perception via satellite
Charles J. Robinove
1970, Water Spectrum (2) 14-19
The earth resources observation satellite (EROS) program in the Department of the Interior is intended to gather and use data from satellites and aircraft on natural and man-made features of the earth's surface. Earth resources technology satellite will provide the EROS program with data for use in dealing with natural...
Color infrared film as a negative material
Robert W. Pease
1970, Remote Sensing of Environment (1) 195-198
Original problems encountered in endeavors to use color infraredfilm as a negative material have been overcome by a simple modification in processing. This makes more feasible the production of infrared color prints for field use and yields an infrared counterpart to Aero-Neg....
Using radar imagery for crop discrimination: a statistical and conditional probability study
R. M. Haralick, F. Caspall, D.S. Simonett
1970, Remote Sensing of Environment (1) 131-142
A number of the constraints with which remote sensing must contend in crop studies are outlined. They include sensor, identification accuracy, and congruencing constraints; the nature of the answers demanded of the sensor system; and the complex temporal variances of crops in large areas. Attention is then focused on several...
ERTS-A satellite imagery
Alden P. Colvocoresses
1970, Photogrammetric Engineering (36) 555-561
The first satellite designed to survey the Earth's resources is scheduled to be launched in 1972. This satellite, known as ERTS-A, will telemeter frames of imagery each covering 100-nautical-mile squares of the Earth. Except for the internal anomalies in the sensor system, the imagery, after being properly scaled, rectified, and...
A graphic presentation of stream gain or loss as an aid in understanding streamflow characteristics
Neil C. Koch
1970, Water Resources Research (6) 239-245
A graphic presentation of cumulative monthly stream gain or loss on a given stream reach is used as a tool to show whether the stream gain or loss is apparent or real, and to determine the magnitude, time, and cause of the gain or loss. The graphic method could also...
Interstitial water studies on small core samples, Deep Sea Drilling Project, Leg 5
F.T. Manheim, K.M. Chan, F.L. Sayles
1970, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (5) 501-511
Leg 5 samples fall into two categories with respect to interstitial water composition: 1) rapidly deposited terrigenous or appreciably terrigenous deposits, such as in Hole 35 (western Escanaba trough, off Cape Mendocino, California); and, 2) slowly deposited pelagic clays and biogenic muds and oozes. Interstitial waters in the former show...
