STAARS is a new series which is being published to disseminate information concerning statistical procedures for interpreting aerial radiometric data.

The following report presents results of geophysical interpretations on the Midnite-Sherwood Mine, a uranium mine along northeastern Washington.

This report contains on microfiche the results of analyses for methane, ethane, propane, and butane in 11,659 groundwater samples collected in 47 western and three eastern 1° x 2° quadrangles of the National Topographic Map Series, along with a brief description of the analytical technique used and some simple, descriptive statistics.

This report presents the results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Pratt quadrangle, Kansas. Field laboratory data is provided for 611 groundwater and 662 stream sediment samples.

This report presents the results of a reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Joplin quadrangle, Kansas/Missouri. Field laboratory data is provided for 736 groundwater and 714 stream sediment samples.

Abstract: This report documents the work performed to determine the newly assigned concentration for the spectral gamma-ray borehole calibration models. Thirty-two models, maintained by the U.S. Department of Energy, are included in this study, and are grouped into eight sets of four models each. The eight sets are located at sites across the United States, and are used to calibrate logging instruments. The assignments are based on in-situ logging data to ensure self-consistency in the assigned concentrations, and on laboratory assays of concrete samples from each model to provide traceability to the New Brunswick Laboratory (NBL) standards.

From Summary: "Within the gross content of economic exploration techniques developed through case studies of know mineralization, this report of research into the Spokane Mountain uranium deposit integrates the results of numerous field surveys and the application of proven scientific methods with the effects of alternative methods."
