Oil shale development and its environmental considerations Oil shale development and its environmental considerations

The petroleum shortage recently experienced by many nations throughout the world has created an intense interest in obtaining new and supplemental energy sources. In the United States, this interest has been centered on oil shale. Any major action by the federal government having significant environmental effects requires compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969...

Bidding and production relationships for federal OCS leases: Statistical studies of wildcat leases, Gulf of Mexico, 1962, and prior sales Bidding and production relationships for federal OCS leases: Statistical studies of wildcat leases, Gulf of Mexico, 1962, and prior sales

The relationships between bids received on wildcat leases issued on federal OCS lands in the Gulf of Mexico from 1954 through 1962 and subsequent drilling on, production from, and relinquishment of these leases were studied. The results provided quantitative answers to questions regarding bidding as prescribed by current laws and regulations. Perhaps the most notable result is the...

Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) Mapping of the 1973 Mississippi River floods from the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS)

On March 31, and May 4 and 5, 1973, the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1) obtained multispectral scanner imagery over the Mississippi River below St. Louis, Missouri. The river was in flood, and the ERTS data provided the first opportunity for regional synoptic mapping of the extent of flooding at the time the imagery was obtained along a 1200 river-mile reach and some...

Photogeology of the dark material in the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon Photogeology of the dark material in the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon

Regional relations and characteristics of the dark material as observed on photographs of the Taurus-Littrow region of the moon are reviewed to provide a background for interpretations of its nature and origin. The dark material seems to be a surficial deposit that covers mare and highland areas near the southeastern edge of the Serenitatis Basin. The age of the dark material, as deduced...
