Seismic seiches from the March 1964 Alaska earthquake
Arthur McGarr, Robert C. Vorhis
1968, Professional Paper 544-E
Seismic seiches caused by the Alaska earthquake of March 27, 1964, were recorded at more than 850 surface-water gaging stations in North America and at 4 in Australia. In the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, 763 of 6,435 gages registered seiches. Nearly all the seismic seiches were recorded at...
Evapotranspiration and the water budget of prairie potholes in North Dakota
J.B. Shjeflo
1968, Professional Paper 585-B
The mass-transfer method was used to study the hydrologic behavior of 10 prairie potholes in central North Dakota during the 5-year period 1960-64. Many of the potholes went dry when precipitation was low. The average evapotranspiration during the May to October period each year was 2.11 feet, and the...

The geologic classification of the meteorites
Donald Parker Elston
1968, Open-File Report 68-97
The meteorite classes of Prior and Mason are assigned to three proposed genetic groups on the basis of a combination of compositional, mineralogical, and elemental characteristics: l) the calcium-poor, volatile-rich carbonaceous chondrites and achondrites; 2) the calcium-poor, volatile-poor chondrites (enstatite, bronzite, hypersthene, and pigeonite), achondrites (enstatite, hypersthene, and pigeonite), stonyirons...

Land evaluation studies with remote sensors in the infrared and radar regions
David S. Simonett
1968, Open-File Report 68-250
This paper reviews the literature, especially of the last two years, dealing with remote sensor evaluation of surface and shallow sub-surface characteristics, employing remote sensors in the infrared (1.5p. - 14p.) and radar (0.5 cm - 100 cm) regions. Imaging and non-imaging sensors are examined to assess their current status...
Infrared survey of the Pisgah Crater area, San Bernardino County, California - a geologic interpretation
Stephen J. Gawarecki
1968, Open-File Report 69-104
The infrared survey of the Pisgah Crater Area, San Bernardino County, California was primarily undertaken to establish parameters by which rock types, structures, and textures peculiar to this locale could be recognized or differentiated. A secondary purpose was to provide an adequate evaluation and calibration of airborne and ground-based instruments...
