Coal-Quality Information - Key to the Efficient and Environmentally Sound Use of Coal

The rock that we refer to as coal is derived principally from decomposed organic matter (plants) consisting primarily of the element carbon. When coal is burned, it produces energy in the form of heat, which is used to power machines such as steam engines or to drive turbines that produce electricity. Almost 60 percent of the electricity produced in the United States is derived from coal combustio

The USGS World Energy Program

The world has recently experienced rapid change to market-driven economies and increasing reliance on petroleum supplies from areas of political instability. The interplay of unprecedented growth of the global population, increasing worldwide energy demand, and political instability in two major petroleum exporting regions (the former Soviet Union and the Middle East) requires that the United St

Preliminary geologic map of the Little Piute Mountains, California: A digital database

The Little Piute Mountains Digital database contains digital geologic and geographic information for the study area. The geology was mapped at a scale of 1:8,000, and the topographic information was input from the Little Piute Mountains, CA 1:24,000 quadrangle. The accuracy of the spatial information is limited to the input scale. Postscript files, originally published in paper format as Open-file
