A magnetic anomaly of possible economic significance in southeastern Minnesota
Isidore Zietz
1964, Circular 489
An aeromagnetic survey in southeastern Minnesota by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the State of Minnesota has revealed a high-amplitude, linear, and narrow magnetic feature that suggests a possible source of Precambrian iron-formation of economic value. For the past few years the U. S. Geological Survey has...

E. E. Harris, S. E. Rantz
1964, Water Supply Paper 1591-B
This report presents the results of an investigation of the effect of urban growth on the streamflow regimen of Permanente Creek in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, Calif. The data available did not permit a complete study of all hydrologic aspects, but there is conclusive evidence that the volume of...

Magnitude and frequency of floods in Alaska south of the Yukon River
Vernon Kenneth Berwick, Joseph M. Childers, M.A. Kuentzel
1964, Circular 493
This report presents a method for evaluating the magnitude and frequency of floods on the basis of the analysis of flood records. One composite frequency curve is applied to the entire study region. This curve relates floods of various magnitudes at any site within the region to probable recurrence intervals...

Mercury - Its occurrence and economic trends
Edgar H. Bailey, Roscoe M. Smith
1964, Circular 496
In 1963 the domestic production of primary mercury was less than one-fourth of the domestic consumption, largely because a series of years of declining price led to the closing of most of the domestic mines. During 1963 and 1964 the U.S. price, which usually responds to world price, increased from...

Exploratory laboratory study of lateral turbulent diffusion at the surface of an alluvial channel
William W. Sayre, A.R. Chamberlain
1964, Circular 484
In natural streams turbulent diffusion is one of the principal mechanisms by which liquid and suspended-particulate contaminants are dispersed in the flow. A knowledge of turbulence characteristics is therefore essential in predicting the dispersal rates of contaminants in streams. In this study the theory of diffusion by continuous movements for...
Lithologic variations in slope development theory
Adrian E. Scheidegger
1964, Circular 485
This paper presents a comprehensive review and amplification of the writer's earlier slope development theory. In particular, the influence of lithology on evolving slope profiles is investigated and calculations are made for various conditions, such as presence of caprock, soft bottom, and hard and soft intermediate layers....
