From introduction: This report details Vela Uniform program survey that determined the pre-explosion chemical and physical properties of the tuffs exposed in the tunnel for comparison with similar post-shot geologic data and evaluated these data in terms of predicting the geologic effects of the planned explosion.

From introduction: The geologic studies in the U12e.04 tunnel within the Nevada Test Site were conducted for the purpose of determining the structure and chemical and physical properties of the tuffs exposed in the tunnel.

From abstract and summary: Project Stagecoach consisted of the detonation of three 40,000-pound charges. Blocks of cast TNT were stacked to resemble a sphere and, the whole center-detonated.

From abstract: This report includes results of studies of crater dimension, throwout material distribution, ground motion, dust cloud growth, and long-range air blast.

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.

From summary: Site investigations were conducted at two locations, the sites of the DUGOUT and CHARLIE events, at the Nevada Test Site for the purpose of evaluating the dynamic in situ technique as a means of determining the boundaries of craters produced by explosive detonations.

From summary: During 1983 and 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted field investigations to assess the mineral resource potential and appraise the identified resources of a part of the Far South Egans (NV-040-172) Wilderness Study Area. The area studied encompasses about 63.5 mi2 (square miles) (42,316 acres) in Lincoln and Nye Counties, Nevada, and is in the southern part of the Egan Range of east-central Nevada.

From summary: The USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) and the USBM (U.S. Bureau of Mines) studied the mineral resource potential of 50,499 acres of the 61,137-acre Weepah Spring Wilderness Study Area (NV-040-246), Lincoln and Nye Counties, Nev., at the request of the BLM (U.S. Bureau of Land Management). In this report, the area studied is referred to as the "wilderness study area" or the "study area." Field studies of the area were conducted during summer 1984 by USBM geologists and during spring 1984 and fall 1985 by USGS geologists, geochemists, and geophysicists.

The following report is a compilation of lithologic logs, drillers logs, drilling records, and hydrologic data on 18 wells and test holes that were drilled in the Nevada Test Site and surrounding areas prior to 1960.

From scope of report: "This report summarizes an interpretation of the geology of Yucca Valley to depths of about 2,300 feet below the surface, the characteristic features of ground water in Yucca and Frenchman Valleys, and the seismic, gravity, and magnetic data for these valleys."

The following report covers the study of a small composite stock at Oak Spring, Nevada, known as Climax granite to study the seismic effect of a deep nuclear explosion contained in a large volume of unfractured rock.

The following report provides a geological map of sections of the Thirsty Canyon South East quadrangle of Nye County, Nevada.

The following report provides a geological map of the Quartet Dome quadrangle in Nye county, Nevada.

Abstract: "ground-water test well A was drilled to a depth of 1,870 feet with rotary and cable-tool equipment. Only alluvial materials were penetrated. These were saturated below 1,605 feet. Pumping and bailing tests indicate that the minimum transmissibility of the alluvium is about 800 gallons per day per foot. The specific capacity was 1.9 gallons per minute per foot of drawdown after 1 hours of pumping at rates of both 41 and 60 gallons per minute. A suite of geophysical logs, a summary of contract costs, and a detailed description of drilling equipment and casing record are presented."

From abstract: Close-in air blast measurements were made on the Dugout shot. Major constituents of the blast wave were the ground-shock-induced pulse and the pulse from venting gases. The ground-shock-induced pulse was the dominant one at all stations.

This report was formed after the study of the Nevada Test Site to examine parts of the thick miogeosynclinical section of the Paleozoic rocks and post-Paleozoic structural features for the sole purpose of determining the walking stops for future field trips to the test site.

This report briefly describes the geological data of the U12b.10 tunnel at the Nevada Test Site.

The following report presents the lithologic log of the description of the tuff penetrated by the U12g.06-U1 core drill hole located at the end of the U12g main tunnel at the Area 12, Nevada Test Site.

Introduction: "This report presents physical property analyses for 28 additional samples and is a supplement to Geological Survey Technical Letter: Area-12-1, which gave a brief summary of the geology, descriptive data on the tunnel, and X-ray, chemical, semiquantitative spectrographic analyses, and some physical properties determinations of samples collected in the U12g.01 tunnel."
