A bibliography that lists about 1,300 U.S. Geological Survey publications related to coal and published prior to January 1, 1971.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over development of geophysical equipment. Methods and instruments used during the studies are presented. This report includes tables, maps, and illustrations.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over petroleum reservoir pressure distribution. As stated in the introduction, "the purpose of this investigation is to provide the petroleum engineer with the computer techniques to determine quickly the pressure distribution in a petroleum reservoir" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over the oil yields at the Green River. The average oil yields from the area are discussed. This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Introduction: This report was started as part of a study of the North Cascade Primitive Area, an area of about 830,000 acres, which adjoined the Canadian border on the north and which extended from Mount Shuksan on the west to Rock Mountain on the east. In the fall of 1968, Public Law 90-544, 90th Cong., reclassified the North Cascade Primitive Area and certain other national forest lands and created the North Cascades National Park, the Ross Lake National Recreation Area, and the Pasayten Wilderness. Ross Lake National Recreational Area, a corridor 21/2-4 miles wide along the Skagit River and its dammed portions, Ross, Diablo, and Gorge Lakes, separates the park into two parts and separates the northern part of the park from the Pasayten Wilderness. The present study concerns those parts of North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area that are north of Skagit River and west of Ross Lake (fig. 1), as well as part of the Mount Baker National Forest west of the park (pl. 2).

From contributions of astrogeology: The principal goal of research in astrogeology is the solution of several cardinal problems of geology...The present volume is the first of a series of professional papers that will describe major results of research in astrogeology.

Summary: The motion of Rifle Gap Dam was measured in September 1969 during the Project RULISON underground nuclear explosion. The observed response was then compared with the response computed in a mathematical model. Observed and computed responses were similar. From this study it appears that the mathematical models used are applicable to the design and analysis of soil structures, at least for ground motion intensities comparable to those observed at Rifle Gap Dam. (p. xi).

Report regarding refraction seismic and vibratory tests conducted on a railroad test embankment near Aikman, Kansas as well as attenuation and dynamic laboratory tests. The refraction seismic tests indicated the existence of two distinct velocity zones, one for the embankment and one for the underlying limestone bedrock.

Various flow visualization results at a nominal Mach number of 5 are presented for cylindrically blunted, unswept and 60-degree swept fins with and without small clearance gaps, partially immersed in a turbulent boundary layer of about 2.6 inches thickness. In addition, pressure and heat transfer measurements were obtained on the flat plate upon which the fin was mounted. Oil smear, azobenzene and Schlieren flow visualization tests were made.

Base map from U.S. Geological Survey, Forks Ranch, Quietus, and Bear Creek School at scale 1:24,000.

In this report, information is presented by means of tables and illustrations preceded by brief explanations. It includes the agencies collecting the data, the number of stations located on surface and ground waters where temperature measurements are made, the distribution of stations by States and by the 21 regions of the Water Resources Council.

The report consists of three principal sections; environmental setting, water resource management, and the hydrologic system. The environmental setting describes the land and people as related to water resources. The section on water resource management is intended to provide practical information needed for the planning and management of water resources. The section on the hydrologic system is a more technical discussion of water in the Red River basin. The section on water management can be used to locate the water, determine the amount available and its quality; whereas, the section on the hydrologic system describes the operation of the system how water moves through the system and why the quality is as it is.

A report regarding the Precambrian through Cretaceous strata of probable fluvial origin in southeastern United States and their potential as uranium host rocks.

From Abstract: "This report summarizes a systematic 20-year study of the organic sulfur compounds in Wasson, Texas, crude oil and, to a lesser extent, of three crude oils, that culminated in some 200 individual sulfur-compound identifications. This report reviews early sulfur literature covering petroleum sulfur compound identifications completed before this study was begun, and cites 58 papers resulting from this work."

Report concerning surveys made to determine the abundance and distribution of otters at Amchitka Island, Alaska, as well to document the effects of an underground nuclear reactor.

Report studying the use of desalinated water for irrigation at three locations in Arizona and California. Costs and benefits are measured among several different areas, including multiple concentrations of desalinated water, different desalting methods, and the desalting process.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing coal reserves in Wyoming. Geology, production, and location of strippable reserves are presented. This report includes maps, tables, and illustrations.

"This is a report on the first phase of the Metallogenic Project, a project conducted by the geology Division of Lucius Pitkin, Inc. for the Resource Division of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Grand Junction Colorado"

The following report provides commentary on road logs reporting the geology and points of interest along Colorado-New Mexico that are also presented in this report.
