Data and applications for study of the water cycle in Africa Data and applications for study of the water cycle in Africa
There are a number data set development, data dissemination, and applications activities at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that contribute to the study of the water cycle in Africa. Some of these stem from global change research initiatives, while others are the result of technical assistance provided to international development and humanitarian assistance projects. Data themes...

An effective filter for removal of production artifacts in U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute digital elevation models An effective filter for removal of production artifacts in U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute digital elevation models
Many digital elevation models (DEM) produced by the U.S. Geological Survey suffer from the presence of striping artifacts, which limit their utility. The most common approaches to filtering the affected DEMs rely on simple low-pass filters that blur fine details. A new filtering algorithm has been developed that isolates the stripes by applying a low-pass filter along the axis of the...

The Goldfield mining district, Nevada: an acid sulfate bonanza gold deposit The Goldfield mining district, Nevada: an acid sulfate bonanza gold deposit
This paper provides an introduction to the geology, ore deposits, and fluid geochemistry of the Goldfield mining district, Esmerelda and Nye Counties, Nevada. Also included is a brief interpretation of mineral maps of the western half of the district which were recently produced from remotely sensed imagery acquired by the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) systems...

Dams built on pre-existing landslides Dams built on pre-existing landslides
In this paper I summarize the results of a worldwide study of 167 dams that have been constructed on preexisting landslides. Many major landslides in the past have blocked, or partially blocked, river valleys, providing possible dam sites that at first sight have appeared to be ideal. Thus, dams were occasionally built on landslides without a complete understanding of the problems...
