Pleistocene tectonic accretion of the continental slope off Washington
E. A. Silver
1972, Marine Geology (13) 239-249
Interpretation of reflection profiles across the Washington continental margin suggests deformation of Cascadia basin strata against the continental slope. Individual reflecting horizons can be traced across the slope-basin boundary. The sense of offset along faults on the continental slope is predominantly, but not...
Influence of grounding ice on the Arctic shelf of Alaska
E. Reimnitz, P. Barnes, T. Forgatsch, C. Rodeick
1972, Marine Geology (13) 323-334
Alaska's Beaufort Sea shelf is characterized by small-scale relief with an average amplitude of 1–2 m and wavelength of 50–100 m. Diving observations confirm that much of the bottom roughness reflects the action of grounded ice. Except for areas in the shadow of...
An inventory of suspended sediment stations and type of data analysis for Pennsylvania streams, 1947-1970
Arthur N. Ott, Allen B. Commings
1972, Report
Data concerning suspended sediment concentrations and loads, frequency of occurrence of suspended sediment concentrations, and long-term trends of annual suspended sediment loads are important tools for today's environmental manager. These data are required background for those concerned with establishing and enforcing erosion and sedimentation control regulations and sediment concentration or...

Water quality at Miami International Airport, Miami, Florida, 1971–72
Herbert J. Freiberger, Benjamin F. McPherson
1972, Open-File Report FL 72-023
The quality of water, sediment, and biota was determined at four sites in canals and drainage ditches at Miami International Airport (MIA) during high- and low-water periods and during summer and winter 1971–72. Concentrations of common ions, such as calcium, sodium, chloride, and magnesium, tended to be above average for...

Sediment transport in a Mississippi River distributary — Bayou Lafourche, Louisiana
W. Harry Doyle
1972, Water Supply Paper 2008
The installation of a pumping plant at Donaldsonville, La., in 1955 to solve a water-supply problem for the residents along Bayou Lafourche created a sedimentation problem in the bayou. Prior to 1904, when the bayou functioned as a distributary, floodflows periodically scoured the sediment deposited in the channel at lower...
Ground-water resources of Natrona County, Wyoming
Marvin A. Crist, Marlin E. Lowry
1972, Water Supply Paper 1897
Natrona County covers an area of 5.369 square miles in central Wyoming. The climate is arid except in the mountainous areas. The county includes parts of the Great Plains, Middle Rocky Mountains, Wyoming Basin, and Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic provinces. There is wide variation of topography. More than 30 geologic...
The hydrology of four streams in western Washington as related to several Pacific salmon species
Michael R. Collings, Ronald W. Smith, G.T. Higgins
1972, Water Supply Paper 1968
Enhancement-or possibly even preservation-of the Pacific salmon hinges on the careful planning and proper management of the streamflow upon which they depend for spawning. Most spawning activity occurs on reaches of streams where specific hydraulic conditions exist and where stream-channel characteristics and water-quality criteria are met. The present report is...

Test-observation well near Odessa, Washington: description and preliminary results
Kenneth L. Walters, D.R. Cline, J. E. Luzier
1972, Open-File Report 72-441
The test-observation well drilled near Odessa, Wash., provides information on the area's aquifer characteristics which is not otherwise available from existing deep irrigation wells. The information is of value to the State of Washington Department of Ecology in its management decisions in this area where heavy ground-water withdrawals have resulted...

Geochemical, aeromagnetic, and generalized geologic maps showing distribution and abundance of molybdenum and zinc, Golconda and Iron Point quadrangles, Humboldt County, Nevada
R. L. Erickson, S.P. Marsh
1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 345
Detailed geologic and geochemical studies of the four 7½-minute quadrangles that make up the Edna Mountain 15-minute quadrangle in Humboldt County, Nevada, were begun during the 1969 summer field season. The objectives of the project are to map the geology of this structurally complex area at 1:24,000 scale and to...
Effect of aging on aluminum hydroxide complexes in dilute aqueous solutions
Ross Wilbert Smith, John David Hem
1972, Water Supply Paper 1827-D
Aqueous aluminum solutions containing 4?10 -5 mole/liter aluminum and a constant total ionic strength of 10 -2, but with varying ratios of hydroxide to aluminum (OH:Al), were prepared. Progress of these solutions toward equilibrium conditions over aging periods of as much as 2 years was studied by determining the composition...
Reconnaissance bedrock geologic map of the Chugach Mountains near Anchorage, Alaska
Sandra H. B. Clark
1972, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 350
The area between Knik and Turnagain Arms east of Anchorage is underlain mostly by rocks that are part of an extensive arcuate belt of thick Mesozoic marine deposits that extend through the Chugach-Kenai-Kodiak Mountains. The two main units in this belt are the Jurassic (?) and Cretaceous Valdez (?) Group...

1972, Water Supply Paper 2009-B
Six remote-sensing flights over Long Island's north and south shores were made during the period July 13, 1967, to February 25, 1970. Infrared imagery in the 8- to 14-micrometer range was obtained; results varied from poor to excellent in quality. The ability of the RS 7 and Reconofax IV imagers...
