Discrimination of hydrothermally altered rocks along the Battle Mountain-Eureka, Nevada, mineral belt using Landsat images
M. Dennis Krohn, Michael J. Abrams, Lawrence C. Rowan
1978, Open-File Report 78-585
Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) images of the northwestern part of the Battle Mountain-Eureki, Nevada mineral belt were evaluated for distinguishing hydrothermally altered rocks associated with porphyry copper and disseminated gold deposits. Detection of altered rocks from Landsat is based on the distinctive spectral reflectance of limonite present at coatings on...
Mass movement and storms in the drainage basin of Redwood Creek, Humboldt County, California — A progress report
Deborah Reid Harden, Richard J. Janda, K. Michael Nolan
1978, Open-File Report 78-486
Numerous active landslides are clearly significant contributors to high sediment loads in the Redwood Creek basin. Field and aerial-photograph inspections indicate that large mass-movement features, such as earthflows and massive streamside debris slides, occur primarily in terrain underlain by unmetamorphosed or slightly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks. These features cannot account for...

Water level measurements in 52 shallow boreholes in the San Francisco Bay region
Edward F. Roth
1978, Open-File Report 78-935
Water-level measurements have been read in 52 cased boreholes in the San Francisco bay region. These measurements are compared to water-table depths determined by P-wave velocity. A velocity in excess of 1200 m/s is taken as the depth of the upper surface of the water table. This method works best...

Potential hazards from future eruptions of Mount St. Helens Volcano, Washington
Dwight Raymond Crandell, Donal Ray Mullineaux
1978, Bulletin 1383-C
Mount St. Helens has been more active and more explosive during the last 4,500 years than any other volcano in the conterminous United States. Eruptions of that period repeatedly formed domes, large volumes of pumice, hot pyroclastic flows, and, during the last 2,500 years, lava flows. Some of this activity...

Subsurface geology and porosity distribution, Madison Limestone and underlying formations, Powder River basin, northeastern Wyoming and southeastern Montana and adjacent areas
James A. Peterson
1978, Open-File Report 78-783
To evaluate the Madison Limestone and associated rocks as potential sources for water supplies in the Powder River Basin and adjacent areas, an understanding of the geologic framework of these units, their lithologic facies patterns, the distribution of porosity zones, and the relation between porosity development and stratigraphic facies is...

Rock pushing and sampling under rocks on Mars
H. J. Moore, S. Liebes Jr., D.S. Crouch, L.V. Clark
1978, Professional Paper 1081
Viking Lander 2 acquired samples on Mars from beneath two rocks, where living organisms and organic molecules would be protected from ultraviolet radiation. Selection of rocks to be moved was based on scientific and engineering considerations, including rock size, rock shape, burial depth, and location in a sample field. Rock...
Chemical quality of ground water in Fairfax County, Virginia

1978, Open-File Report 78-268
Two maps portray the chemical quality of ground water in Fairfax County, Virginia. One map shows dissolved-solids concentration and chemical analyses diagrams. The other indicates hardness and areas of marginal water quality. Three tables of chemical analysis representing the three distinct rock types in the county are presented also. (Woodard-USGS)...
