Least-squares adjustment of triangles and quadrilaterals in which all angles and distances are observed.

The solutions for combined triangulation-trilateration least-squares adjustment of triangles and quadrilaterals, in which all angles and distances are observed, are developed. The triangle is adjusted by the method of observations only, and the quadrilateral is adjusted by the method of indirect observations. The problem of choosing the proper weight factor relating the angle measurements to the d

Map and diagrams showing the distribution, thickness, and textural characteristics of Holocene sediments, Penobscot Bay, Maine

This report illustrates, describes, and briefly discusses the discusses the distribution and characteristics of Holocene sediments in Penobscot Bay, Maine.  Penobscot Bay is one of the major estuaries along the U.S. Atlantic coast.  It constitutes as area of about 1,100 km2 and extends more than 50 km inland from the Gulf of Maine.  The bay is divided into three main passages by numerous islands (

Map showing geochemical data for panned stream sediments from the Bread Loaf Further Planning Area, Addison and Washington counties, Vermont

A geochemical survey of bedrock samples in the Bread Loaf Roadless Area (index map; fig. 1) was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during October, 1981 in order to outline areas that may contain undiscovered mineral deposits. This report describes the results of a geochemical analysis of panned concentrates collected from stream sediments, and complements other geologic and geochemical
