U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MARINE-MINERALS RESEARCH. U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MARINE-MINERALS RESEARCH.
Summary form only given. The US Exclusive Economic Zone is an area approximately one and two-thirds the size of the land area of the United States. In this frontier area, US Geological Survey (USGS) research in marine minerals is aimed at three objectives: (1) defining geologic settings of potential mineral resources; (2) understanding the processes by which seafloor nonliving resources...

U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY'S RESEARCH PROGRAM IN THE NEWLY PROCLAIMED EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE. U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY'S RESEARCH PROGRAM IN THE NEWLY PROCLAIMED EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE.
The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been developing a program which would emphasize broad-scale surveys of the continental margin and intensive studies of 'baseline corridors' in various areas of the U. S. EEZ to gather energy and mining information in this new frontier as quickly as possible. Of twelve baseline corridors identified to date along the east and west coasts and the Gulf...

VERTICAL MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER UNDER A LANDFILL, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. VERTICAL MOVEMENT OF GROUND WATER UNDER A LANDFILL, ANCHORAGE, ALASKA.
A thorough review of existing ground-water information may, in some cases, be adequate to estimate rates of migration of pollutants. Analysis of data from well-performance tests and from hydrologic-data stations near a landfill in Anchorage, Alaska, indicates that pollutants migrating downward toward a confined aquifer that supplies water to three municipal wells near the landfill do not...

An extensive data base for cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the world oceans An extensive data base for cobalt-rich ferromanganese crusts from the world oceans
A new database for ferromanganese crusts from the world oceans is being compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey. Crusts differ from abyssal nodules by forming principally on steeper, raised areas or current-swept plateaus in the oceans. Some crusts contain relatively large concentrations of cobalt (1.0%) in areas within national territorial jurisdictions.

Evaluation of thematic mapper data for natural resource assessment Evaluation of thematic mapper data for natural resource assessment
The U.S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center evaluated the utility of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) date for natural resource assessment, emphasizing manual interpretation and digital classification of the data for U.S. Department of the Interior applications. Substantially more information was derived from TM data than from Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) data. Greater resolution of...
