Robert L. Cory, Jon W. Nauman
1970, Chesapeake Science (11) 199-209
The effect of power plant cooling water in raising natural water temperatures at a location near the power plant on the Patuxent River estuary is clearly evident from thermograph records. Surface temperature at a station 333 m (1,000 ft) downstream from the discharge canal was raised an average of about...

A computer program to trace seismic ray distribution in complex two-dimensional geological models
Nazieh K. Yacoub, James H. Scott
1970, Report
A computer program has been developed to trace seismic rays and their amplitudes and energies through complex two-dimensional geological models, for which boundaries between elastic units are defined by a series of digitized X-, Y-coordinate values. Input data for the program includes problem identification, control parameters, model coordinates and elastic...

1970, Report
The term "surface" in this bibliography is defined to include landforms and surface materials and the nature of, and processes responsible for, their physical characteristics. References are divided into two listings: (1) Surface features and materials; and (2) Telescopic observations. The former is accompanied by a subject index, the latter...

Remote detection of geochemical soil anomalies
F. C. Canney
1970, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the second seminar on geochemical prospecting methods and techniques (Mineral Resources Development Series No. 38)
This paper describes a preliminary experiment that was made to compare the spectral reflectance from trees growing in soil over a mineral deposit with reflectance from trees of the same species growing in a nearby unmineralized area. Although the measurements were made on a relatively small number of trees, some...

1970, Bulletin 53
Grand Forks County in northeastern North Dakota is underlain by glacial drift, westward-dipping Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks and Precambrian igneous and metamorphic rocks. Glacial drift that covers the bedrock reaches a maximum thickness of 455 feet. It can be differentiated into 5 drift sheets, each of which in turn...

Uranium ore rolls in the United States
E.N. Harshman
1970, Conference Paper, Uranium exploration geology: Proceedings of a panel, Vienna, 13-17 April 1970
About 40% of the uranium ore reserves in the United States, minable at $8 per pound of contained U3O8, are in roll-type deposits in the State of Wyoming. The host rocks are arkosic sandstones, deposited in intermontane basins under fluvial conditions, and derived from the granitic cores of mountain ranges...
Aeromagnetic and gravity investigations of the Coastal Area and Continental Shelf of Liberia, West Africa, and their relation to continental drift
John C. Behrendt, Cletus S. Wotorson
1970, GSA Bulletin (81) 3563-3574
An aeromagnetic survey has shown the existence of several basins in which magnetic basement depths are greater than 5 km on the continental shelf off Liberia. Magnetic diabase of 176 to 192 m.y. (Jurassic) in age intruding the Paleozoic (?) rocks and overlain by younger rocks onshore requires the distinction...

1970, Connecticut Water Resources Bulletin 17
The 44O square miles of the southwestern coastal river basins (394 square miles of which are in Connecticut) yield about 183 billion gallons, or 23.9 inches of runoff during an average year. This amount of runoff is almost entirely derived from precipitation falling on the basins, and is eventually discharged...
