The mineral resource potential of the Wadi Habawnah and Najran quadrangles, sheets 17/44A and 17/44C, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Michael D. Fenton
1983, Open-File Report 83-9
The metallic resource potential of the Wadi Habawnah and Najran quadrangles in the southern Precambrian Arabian Shield has been determined primarily by reconnaissance rock geochemistry, limited wadi-sediment and colluvium geochemistry, and gossanous and ferruginous outcrop geochemistry. These surveys were guided by geological information acquired during previous reconnaissance mapping. Locally anomalous...
Ground-water quality data for Oklahoma, 1981

1983, Open-File Report 83-686
The U.S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies. Ground-water quality data, as well as data on construction, yield, water levels, and other physical...

A preliminary evaluation of stream sediment sampling for the detection of cobalt mineralization in the Bou Azzer District, Morocco
M. P. Foose
1983, Open-File Report 83-383
Analyses of 28 stream sediment samples collected in the Bou Azzer district, Morocco, show that this sampling technique may be useful in locating the cobalt arsenide mineralization that exists in this area. The absence of exceptionally high values of cobalt and arsenic, the nearly lognormal distribution of cobalt values, and...

Water-quality data for Smith and Bybee Lakes, Portland, Oregon, June to November, 1982
Daphne G. Clifton
1983, Open-File Report 83-204
Water-quality monitoring at Smith and Bybee Lakes included measurement of water temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and percent saturation, pH, specific conductance, lake depth, alkalinity, dissolved carbon, total dissolved solids, secchi disk light transparency, nutrients, and chlorophyll a and b. In addition, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthic invertebrate populations were identified and...

Preliminary assessment of in-situ geomechanical characteristics in drill hole USW G-1, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
William L. Ellis, Henri S. Swolfs
1983, Open-File Report 83-401
Observations made during drilling and subsequent testing of the USW G-1 drill hole, Yucca Mountain, Nevada, provide qualitative insights into the in- situ geomechanical characteristics of the layered tuff units penetrated by the hole. Substantial drilling-fluid losses, and the occurrence of drilling-induced fracturing, are understandable in terms of the low,...
Geophysical methods for locating abandoned wells
Frank C. Frischknecht, L. Muth, R. Grette, T. Buckley, B. Kornegay
1983, Open-File Report 83-702
A preliminary study of the feasibility of using geophysical exploration methods to locate abandoned wells containing steel casing indicated that magnetic methods promise to be effective and that some electrical techniques might be useful as auxiliary methods. Ground magnetic measurements made in the vicinity of several known cased wells yielded...
Application of Gauss algorithm and Monte Carlo simulation to the identification of aquifer parameters
Timothy J. Durbin
1983, Open-File Report 81-688
The Gauss optimization technique can be used to identify the parameters of a model of a groundwater system for which the parameter identification problem is formulated as a least squares comparison between the response of the prototype and the response of the model. Unavoidable uncertainty in the true stress on...
