Influence of climate on progressive hillslope failure in Redwood Creek Valley, northwestern California
Douglas N. Swanston, Robert Ruhl Ziemer, Richard J. Janda
1983, Open-File Report 83-259
Both creep and earthflow processes control hillslope erosion over large parts of the Redwood Creek basin. The type of process and displacement rates are largely dependent on underlying bedrock type and precipitation input. Progressive creep with rates ranging from 1.0 to 2.5 mm/a dominates on slopes west of the Grogen...

Geothermal resources of the western arm of the Black Rock Desert, northwestern Nevada: Part I, geology and geophysics
Donald H. Schaefer, Alan H. Welch, Douglas K. Mauzer
1983, Open-File Report 81-918
Studies of the geothermal potential of the western arm of the Black Rock Desert in northwestern Nevada included a compilation of existing geologic data on a detailed map, a temperature survey at 1-meter depth, a thermal-scanner survey, and gravity and seismic surveys to determine basin geometry. The temperature survey showed...
Gravity survey of Dixie Valley, west-central Nevada
Donald H. Schaefer
1983, Open-File Report 82-111
Dixie Valley, a northeast-trending structural trough typical of valleys in the Basin and Range Province, is filled with a maximum of about 10,000 feet of alluvial and lacustrine deposits , as estimated from residual-gravity measurements obtained in this study. On the basis of gravity measurements at 300 stations on nine...
Stratigraphic framework and distribution of lignite on Crowleys Ridge, Arkansas
Charles R. Meissner
1983, Open-File Report 83-609
The purpose of this report is to establish a stratigraphic framework of lignite beds and associated strata of Crowleys Ridge, Arkansas. Drill hole data provided by the Arkansas Geological Commission is used in the synthesis and interpretation. Areas containing lignite of potential resource value are also delineated. To illustrate the...
Potentiometric surfaces on Long Island, New York -- A bibliography of maps
D. A. Smolensky
1983, Open-File Report 84-70
Historic water-level records form a major basis for ground-water investigations and water-management decisions on Long Island. Potentiometric-surface maps, one of the major sources of historic data, are scattered within the literature or are available only through the publisher or sponsoring agency. This report presents a comprehensive list of available water-table...
