Reconnaissance engineering geology of the Haines area, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-229
The Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in urban areas. Study of the Haines area constitutes an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards in most of the larger Alaska coastal communities. The evaluations...

The status of mineral resource information on the major land withdrawals of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971
Alaskan Geology Branch
1972, Open-File Report 72-394
This report is an analysis of the adequacy of the present level of geologic knowledge for making mineral resource potential evaluations of 126 federal land withdrawals made under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act. The withdrawals considered are Native village and regional deficiency areas (Sec. 11.A.3, ANCSA), classification and national...

Regional and other general factors bearing on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards to coastal communities of southeastern Alaska
Richard Walter Lemke, Lynn A. Yehle
1972, Open-File Report 72-230
The great Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, brought into sharp focus the need for engineering geologic studies in seismically active regions. As a result, nine communities in southeastern Alaska were selected for reconnaissance investigations as an integral part of an overall program to evaluate earthquake and other geologic hazards...

Evaluation of yields of wells in consolidated rocks, Virginia to Maine
Dagfin John Cederstrom
1972, Water Supply Paper 2021
In the North Atlantic region, Virginia to Maine, yields of industrial and municipal wells are the most reliable indicators of the water-yielding potential of consolidated rocks. Generally, such wells represent efforts to develop a maximum supply of water, they are 350 to 500 feet deep, and they utilize 60 to...

1972, Open-File Report 72-51
An infrared photograph of southeastern Arizona, taken during the Apollo 9 multispectral terrain photography experiment in 1969, reveals a ringlike feature, some 3-4 miles (5-6 kin) in diameter, on the Natanes Plateau, 35 miles (56 kin) north of the town of Safford. Because the feature occurs in an area of...
Movement and dispersion of soluble pollutants in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary, North Carolina
E. F. Hubbard, William G. Stamper
1972, Water Supply Paper 1873-E
This report presents the results of a fluorescent-dye-tracing study to determine the concentrations of a pollutant that would be present in the Northeast Cape Fear Estuary at various rates of continuous waste injection and freshwater inflow. Rhodamine WT dye was introduced into the estuary at a constant rate over a...
Summary of floods in the United States during 1967
J.O. Rostvedt
1972, Water Supply Paper 1880-C
This report describes the most outstanding floods in the United States during 1967. The two most destructive floods occurred in August in east-central Alaska and in September and October in southern Texas. In east-central Alaska, heavy rain on August 8-17 produced record-breaking floods near Fairbanks. Peak discharges on some streams...

Factors contributing to unusually low runoff during the period 1962-68 in the Concho River Basin, Texas
Stanley P. Sauer
1972, Water Supply Paper 1999-L
To determine the reasons for the unusually low runoff in the Concho River basin during the period 1962-68, the physical developments and climatic changes in the basin were identified and related to changes in the regimen of streamflow. Land use, brush infestation, and land-treatment practices have not caused significant changes in...

1972, Circular 672
The proposed trans-Alaska oil pipeline, which would traverse the state north to south from Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic coast to Valdez on Prince William Sound, will be subject to serious earthquake hazards over much of its length. To be acceptable from an environmental standpoint, the pipeline system is to...
