Water quality characteristics of six small lakes in Missouri: Mo. Dept. of Natural Resources.
James H. Barks
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 33
A study of six small lakes, representative of those in the major physiographic regions of Missouri, shows variation in physical. chemical, and biological characteristics related to their location in the Slate. For example, because of climatic differences, ice cover and winter stratification are more prevalent in northern Missouri. Summer stratification...

Ground-water resources and geology of St. Croix County, Wisconsin
Ronald G. Borman
1976, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 32
The increasing need for good-quality ground water in St. Croix County, caused by a steadily increasing population, can be met from the sand-and-gravel and sandstone aquifers. As much as 15 gallons per minute (0.95 litres per second) can be obtained from wells almost everywhere in the county. Yields of more...
Ground-water resources and geology of Walworth County, Wisconsin
Ronald G. Borman
1976, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 34
Population growth in Walworth County, Wisconsin, requires an increasing amount of ground water. Good quality water is available from the sand-and gravel, Niagara, Galena-Platteville, and sandstone aquifers in the county. As much as 15 gallons per minute (0.95 liters per second) can be obtained from individual wells almost everywhere in...

The Shenango and Stoneboro 15-minute quadrangles are in northwestern Pennsylvania and are about 60 miles north of Pitts burgh. These two quadrangles comprise the following 7%-minute quadrangles: Greenville West, Greenville East, Sharpsville, Fredonia, Hadley, New Lebanon, Jackson Center, and Sandy Lake. The area covered by the two quadrangles includes the...
Electronic thermal sensor and Data Collection Platform technology: Part 5 in Thermal surveillance of active volcanoes using the Landsat-1 Data Collection System
Duane M. Preble, Jules D. Friedman, David Frank
1976, Report, Thermal surveillance of active volcanoes using the Landsat-1 Data Collection System
Five Data Collection Platforms (DCP) were integrated electronically with thermall sensing systems, emplaced and operated in an analog mode at selected thermally significant volcanic and geothermal sites. The DCP's transmitted 3260 messages comprising 26,080 ambient, surface, and near-surface temperature records at an accuracy of ±1.15 °C for 1121 instrument days...
Audio-magnetotelluric methods in reconnaissance geothermal exploration
D.B. Hoover, C. L. Long
1976, Conference Paper, Proceedings: second United Nations Symposium on the development and use of geothermal resources, San Francisco, California, USA, 20-29 May 1975
An audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) system has been developed by the U.S. Geological Survey for low-cost reconnaissance exploration of geothermal regions. This is an electromagnetic sounding technique in which the scalar or Cagniard resistivity is computed at 12 frequencies logarithmically spaced from 7.5 to 18 600 Hz. Our system uses natural source...
Seepage study of the Rocky Point Canal and the Grey Mountain-Pleasant Valley Canal systems, Duchesne County, Utah
R.W. Cruff, J. W. Hood
1976, Technical Publication 50
This report describes the study of the Rocky Point Canal system in the vicinity of Duchesne and the Grey Mountain-Pleasant Valley Canal system between Duchesne and Myton, in the Uinta Basin, Duchesne County, Utah. The Rocky Point Canal diverts from the left bank of the Duchesne River about 4 mi...
Textural distribution of sea-floor sediments, south Texas Outer Continental Shelf
Gerald L. Shideler
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 703-713
The general texture of sea-floor sediments along the south Texas Outer Continental Shelf was evaluated in terms of gravel, sand, silt, and clay components. The gravel component is quantitatively minor and is concentrated mainly in the southern sector; it consists, for the most part, of relict biogenic detritus dominated by...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of the Pine Valley drainage basin, Millard, Beaver, and Iron counties, Utah
Jerry C. Stephens
1976, Technical Publication 51
The Pine Valley drainage basin is an area of about 730 square miles (1,890 square kilometres) in Millard, Beaver, and Iron Counties in southwestern Utah. Total annual precipitation in the basin averages about 410,000 acre-ft (acre-feet) or 506 hm3 (cubic hectometres). Less than 500 acre-ft (0.6 hm3) of runoff reaches...
A portable helium sniffer
Irving Friedman, E.H. Denton
1976, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (4) 35-36
A portable helium sniffer has been developed for field use. The instrument is mounted in a four-wheel-drive pickup truck and can detect 50 parts per billion of helium in soil gas. The usefulness of helium sniffing in soil is being investigated as a prospecting tool in gas, oil, uranium, and...
Glaciomarine deposits of Miocene through Holocene age in the Yakataga Formation along the Gulf of Alaska margin, Alaska

1976, Conference Paper, Recent and ancient sedimentary environments in Alaska: Proceedings of the Alaska Geological Society Symposium held April 2-4, 1975, at Anchorage, Alaska
Perhaps the world's longest and most complete onshore sedimentary record of late Cenozoic glaciation is preserved in the Gulf of Alaska Tertiary province that extends 800 km along the coast of southern Alaska. The Yakataga Formation, with an aggregate outcrop thickness of about 5,000 m, is characterized by variable amounts...
