Not all publications have extents, not all extents are completely accurate
Reconnaissance of the Red Lake River, Minnesota
Lev Ropes, Richmond F. Brown, D.E. Wheat
1969, Hydrologic Atlas 299
This report is intended to serve a wide range of people including educators, scientists, planners, and those who wish to enjoy travel on the river. the data-summary charts, graphs, and tables are intended to be specific enough so that users who require precise information need not resynthesise the original numerical...
Quantitative comparison of some aesthetic factors among rivers
Luna Bergere Leopold
1969, Circular 620
It is difficult to evaluate the factors contributing to aesthetic or nonmonetary aspects of a landscape. In contrast, aspects which lend themselves to cost-benefit comparisons are now treated in a routine way. As a result, nonmonetary values are described either in emotion-loaded words or else are mentioned and thence forgotten.The...
U.S. Geological Survey heavy metals program progress report 1968 - Field studies
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1969, Circular 621
The Heavy Metals program of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines began in mid-1966 and thus at the end of calendar year 1968 was halfway through its third year. This progress report summarizes field studies carried out under the Geological Survey's part of the program during...
Geological Survey research 1969, Chapter B
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1969, Professional Paper 650-B
This collection of 40 short papers is the first published chapter of "Geological Survey Research 1969." The papers report on scientific and economic results of current work by members of the Conservation, Geologic, and Water Resources Divisions of the U.S. Geological Survey. Chapter A, to be published later in the year,...
Gold Veins near Great Falls, Maryland
John Calvin Reed Jr., John C. Reed
1969, Bulletin 1286
Small deposits of native gold are present along an anastomosing system of quartz veins and shear zones just east of Great Falls, Montgomery County, Md. The deposits were discovered in 1861 and were worked sporadically until 1951, yielding more than 5,000 ounces of gold. The vein system and the principal veins...
Gold in minerals and the composition of native gold
Robert Sprague Jones, Michael Fleischer
1969, Circular 612
Gold occurs in nature mainly as the metal and as various alloys. It forms complete series of solid solutions with silver, copper, nickel, palladium, and platinum. In association with the platinum metals, gold occurs as free gold as well as in solid solution. The native elements contain the most gold,...
Results of geological and geochemical investigations in an area northwest of the Chulitna River, central Alaska Range
C. C. Hawley, A. L. Clark, M.A. Herdrick, S. H. B. Clark
1969, Circular 617
Sedimentary and volcanic rock units of Paleozoic and Mesozoic age, faults, and elongate bodies of intrusive rock, particularly serpentinites, have a dominant northeasterly trend in an area northwest of the Chulitna River between Eldridge Glacier and Bull River. The serpentinites locally contain abnormal (as much as 0.5 percent) concentrations of...
Rapid heat-flowing surveying of geothermal areas, utilizing individual snowfalls as calorimeters
Donald E. White
1969, Journal of Geophysical Research (74) 5191-5201
Local differences in rate of heat transfer in vapor and by conduction through the ground in hot spring areas are difficult and time-consuming to measure quantitatively. Individual heavy snowfalls provide a rapid low-cost means of measuring total heat flow from such ground. After a favorable snowfall (heavy, brief duration, little...
Airborne fluorometer applicable to marine and estuarine studies
George E. Stoertz, William R. Hemphill, David A. Markle
1969, Marine Technology Society Journal (3) 11-26
An experimental Fraunhofer line discriminator detected solar-stimulated yellow fluorescence (5890 A) emitted by Rhodamine WT dye in aqueous solutions. Concentration of 1 part per billion was detected in tap water 1/2-meter deep. In extremely turbid San Francisco Bay, dye was monitored in concentrations of less than 5 parts per billion...
Some guidelines for remote sensing in hydrology
Charles J. Robinove, Daniel G. Anderson
1969, Journal of the American Water Resources Association (5) 10-19
Remote sensing in the field of hydrology is beginning to be applied to significant problems, such as thermal pollution, in many programs of the Federal and State Governments as well as in operation of many private organizations. The purpose of this paper is to guide the hydrologist to a better...
Structural geologic interpretations from radar imagery
Robert G. Reeves
1969, Geological Society of America Bulletin (80) 2159-2164
Certain structural geologic features may be more readily recognized on sidelooking airborne radar (SLAR) images than on conventional aerial photographs, other remote sensor imagery, or by ground observations. SLAR systems look obliquely to one or both sides and their images resemble aerial photographs taken at low sun angle with the...
Surveying the earth's resources from space
William T. Pecora
1969, TRW Space Log (9) 2-15
During the past 4 years, scientists of the Geological Survey, in cooperation with NASA, have been investigating the feasibility and practicality of using remote-sensor data collected during conventional aircraft flights. This work is aimed at developing techniques for gathering facts about the earth's natural resources from satellites carrying sophisticated remote-sensing...
Satellite imagery of the earth
P.M. Merifield, J. Cronin, L.L. Foshee, S.J. Gawarecki, J.T. Neal, R. E. Stevenson, R.O. Stone, R.S. Williams Jr.
1969, Photogrammetric Engineering (35) 654-668
Photography of the Earth from spacecraft has application to both atmospheric and Earth sciences. Gemini and Apollo photographs have furnished information on sea surface roughness, areas of potential upwelling and oceanic current systems. Regional geologic structures and geomorphologic features are also recorded in orbital photographs. Infrared satellite imagery provides meteorological...
The geographic applications program of the U. S. Geological Survey
Arch C. Gerlach
1969, Photogrammetric Engineering (35) 58-60
The fundamental objective of modern Geography is to improve man's level of living through a better understanding of man-environment inter actions. Related goals of the USGS program for applications of remote sensor data to Geographical research are: (1) the analysis and improvement of land use, with special emphasis on urban...
