Mineral resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia Mineral resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia

The proposed Big Frog Wilderness is comprised of approximately 1820 hectares (18.2 km2) of mountainous terrain in the Cherokee and Chattahoochee National Forests south of the Ocoee River in Polk County, Tennessee, and Fannin County, Georgia. Rocks of the study area are greenschist-facies metasandstone, meta-arkose, metagraywacke, and dark slate of the Ocoee Supergroup of late Precambrian...

K-Ar age of alunite alteration at Red Mountain, Lake City area, western San Juan Mountains, Colorado K-Ar age of alunite alteration at Red Mountain, Lake City area, western San Juan Mountains, Colorado

The San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado are famous for rich vein deposits of base and precious metals and for patterns of conspicuous hydrothermal alteration. Areas of acid-sulfate alteration, characterized by extensive base leaching of volcanic rocks or hypabyssal plutons, are of current interest because of their local association with Au, Ag, and, in some cases, U...

Economic basis of resource information systems: The case of streamflow network design Economic basis of resource information systems: The case of streamflow network design

A general method for the economic design of natural resource information systems is presented for a certain class of natural phenomena. The system design is determined by the interaction of the technical input‐output relationship, i.e., the production function, the set of resource constraints, and an economic loss function defined in terms of parameter uncertainty. An application of the...

Field expectations and the determination of wildcat drilling Field expectations and the determination of wildcat drilling

There is currently some dissatisfaction with macroeconomic approaches to modeling the supply of domestic crude oil. One problem that has been pointed out is that the estimated supply responses of new discoveries brought about by price increases appear to be unrealistically high. Because data frequently used in these models are highly aggregated over time and include diverse geologic...

Expectations, market structure, and sequential bid pricing Expectations, market structure, and sequential bid pricing

Public agencies are frequently constrained to procure goods and services in sealed tender markets. Pricing decisions of firms participating in such markets have been analyzed for both static and dynamic situations. As might be anticipated, the decision rules obtained in these analyses depend in an integral way on the firm's perception of the behavior of other market participants. It is...
