Paleomagnetic study of the As Sarat volcanic field, southwestern Saudi Arabia
Karl S. Kellogg, Richard L. Reynolds
1981, Open-File Report 81-675
Four stratigraphic sections through alkali basalt flows of Oligocene-Miocene age (24 to 29 m.y.) in the As Sarat volcanic field, southwestern Saudi Arabia, were sampled for paleomagnetic study. Forty-two magnetically acceptable flows (139 samples) yield a mean direction of magnetization of D=-4.7°, 1=15.2° (α95=4.3°), which defines a paleomagnetic pole at...

Single-channel, high-resolution seismic data from six areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico continental slope
Jack L. Kindinger, Arnold H. Bouma
1981, Open-File Report 81-400
During the R/V GYRE cruise 80-G-4 in May-June 1980, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted high-resolution seismic studies over five intraslope basins and over one selected area of special interest in the northern Gulf of Mexico (fig. 1). Data from each area suggest that the intraslope basins are directly related to...
Preliminary hydrologic evaluation of the North Horn Mountain coal-resource area, Utah
M.J. Graham, John E. Tooley, Don Price
1981, Open-File Report 81-141
North Horn Mountain is part of a deeply dissected plateau in central Utah which is characterized by deep, narrow, steep-walled canyons with local relief of more than 1,000 feet. Geologic units exposed in the North Horn Mountain area range in age from Late Cretaceous to Holocene and contain two mineable...
A manual of modified analytical procedures for conventional rock analysis
Herbert Kirschenbaum
1981, Open-File Report 81-359
This manual was written to establish the most accurate analytical methodology for determining the major constituents in silicate rocks. This report describes modified classical procedures for determining the amount of SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, FeO, CaO, MgO, H2O-, H2O+, TiO2, P2O5, MnO, CO2, and S in silicate rocks. In the determination...

Modification of the Tangborn short-term hydrometeorological model, with trial results from the Baker River basin, Washington
M.R. Karlinger, J. D. Wilson
1981, Open-File Report 81-694
This report presents a modification of the short-term hydrometeorological model (Tangborn, 1978) for estimating river-basin snowmelt runoff. A multiple linear regression replaces a nonlinear regression scheme to correct for temperature effects of snowmelt runoff. Results based on data from the Baker River basin, Washington, indicate that model performance is improved...

Catalog of earthquakes along the San Andreas fault system in Central California, October-December 1977
L. Fluty, S.M. Marks
1981, Open-File Report 81-1325
Numerous small earthquakes occur each day in the Coast Ranges of central California. The detailed study of these earthquakes provides a tool for gaining insight into the tectonic and physical processes responsible for the generation of damaging earthquakes. This catalog contains the fundamental parameters for earthquakes located within and adjacent...
Depth estimation for ordinary high water of streams in the Mobile District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alabama and adjacent states
Joe R. Harkins, Mark E. Green
1981, Open-File Report 81-481
Drainage areas for about 1,600 surface-water sites on streams and lakes in Florida are contained in this report. The sites are generally either U.S. Geological Survey gaging stations or the mouths of gaged streas. Each site is identified by latitude and longitude, by the general stream type, and by the...
Water resources of the Santa Ysabel and Mesa Grande Indian Reservations, San Diego County, California
John R. Freckleton
1981, Open-File Report 81-342
The Santa Ysabel (consisting of three tracts) and Mesa Grande Indian Reservations are in north-central San Diego County, Calif. On both reservations fractured and weathered igneous and metamorphic rocks and alluvium are water bearing; however, no wells are known to derive their water entirely from alluvium. Well yields range from...

Sediment transport and effective discharge of the North Platte, South Platte, and Platte Rivers in Nebraska
J. E. Kircher
1981, Open-File Report 81-53
Sediment discharge was computed for four locations along the North Platte, South Platte, and the Platte Rivers between North Platte and Grand Island, Nebraska in order to determine the effective discharge. The total-sediment discharge was computed by the Colby method and modified Einstein method so that comparisons could be made...

1981, Open-File Report 81-1120
Jennings and several adjacent counties are economically restricted "by inadequate water supplies. The North Vernon Water Utility, supplying more than 25 percent of Jennings County's population, obtains its water from the Vernon Fork Muscatatuck River, although streamflow is less than the average daily withdrawal 69 days of the year. The...
