Geochemical evaluation of felsic plutonic rocks in the eastern and southeastern Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
E. A. Du Bray, James E. Elliott, D. B. Stoeser
1983, Open-File Report 83-369
In a geochemical evaluation of the eastern and southeastern Arabian Shield, which included collection of 696 rock samples and 694 pan concentrate samples, a province of tin-anomalous granitoid plutons was defined. Pan concentrates collected in and around these plutons were enriched in tin and tungsten relative to the concentrate population....

Holocene sedimentation in Richardson Bay, California
Cathy L. Connor
1983, Open-File Report 83-312
Examination of foraminifers, diatoms, ostracodes, clay mineralogy, and sediment-size variation from 9 borehole sites along the salt-marsh margins of Richardson Bay reveals a record of gradual infilling of fine-grained estuarine sediments. Over the past 10,000 years this area was transformed from a V-shaped Pleistocene stream valley to a flat-floored arm...
Funding history of the U.S. Geological Survey Federal data collection and analysis program, 1973-1982
Alberto Condes de la Torre
1983, Open-File Report 83-47
Federal program activities in the collection and analysis of hydrologic data are funded in six categories established in order of priority. Over the period 1973 to 1982, the funding available for the programs supported in each category has increased, but when viewed without the effect of inflation the purchasing power...

Geohydrology and water resources of the Papago Farms-Great Plain area, Papago Indian Reservation, Arizona, and the upper Rio Sonoyta area, Sonora, Mexico
K.J. Hollett
1983, Open-File Report 83-774
The Papago Farms-Great Plain and upper Rio Sonoyta study area includes about 490 square miles in south-central Arizona and north-central Sonora, Mexico. In the study area 23,700 acre-feet of ground water from the basin-fill deposits was used to irrigate more than 5,000 acres in 1981. Surface water is not a...

Celia H. Steigerwald, Felix E. Mutschler, Steve Ludington
1983, Open-File Report 83-516
GRANNY is a data bank containing information on 507 chemically analyzed Laramide or younger high-silica rhyolites and granites from Colorado and north-central New Mexico. The data were compiled from both published and unpublished sources. The data bank is designed to aid in the recognition of igneous rocks with a high...
Geology and resources of the Andersonville, Georgia, kaolin and bauxite district
Harland E. Cofer, John Phillip Manker
1983, Open-File Report 83-580
The kaolin and kaolin-rich sediments of the Andersonville district were deposited in an estuary environment with restricted circulation and little tidal or longshore current influence. Micaceous kaolinitic clays were deposited during late Paleocene time on broad, shallow water flats between deeper water distributary channels in the estuarine system. During the...

1983, Open-File Report 83-588
From 1980 to 1982, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted seismic refraction studies at the Nevada Test Site to aid in an investigation of the regional crustal structure at a possible nuclear waste repository site near Yucca Mountain. Two regionally distributed deployments and one north-south deployment recorded nuclear events. First arrival...
Nonparametric tests for trends in water-quality data using the statistical analysis system
Charles G. Crawford, James R. Slack, Robert M. Hirsch
1983, Open-File Report 83-550
Two nonparametric procedures to test for trends in water-quality data (SEASKEN AND SEASRS) have been developed for the Statistical Analysis System* (SAS). The procedure SEASKEN tests for a monotonic trend in time by a modified form of Kendall's tau, the Seasonal Kendall test. The procedure SEASRS tests for a step...
