Two diamictons in a landslide scarp on Admiralty Island, Alaska, and the tectonic insignificance of an intervening peat bed Two diamictons in a landslide scarp on Admiralty Island, Alaska, and the tectonic insignificance of an intervening peat bed
Two till-like diamictons, 700 feet above present sea level on Admiralty Island, Alaska, are separated by peat near the top of a landslide scarp. The lower diamicton is glaciomarine; the upper diamicton is probably a mudflow. The lower diamicton contains the foraminifer Elphidium clavatum Cushman, a species typical of fiords. Similar diamicton crops out along Gastineau Channel near Juneau...

The landslide at Cumberland, Harlan County, Kentucky The landslide at Cumberland, Harlan County, Kentucky
A landslide developed on Sanctified Hill, on the east side of Cumberland, Kentucky on December 10, 1972. Since then the slide has rendered 17 dwellings and a church unusable. The slide is in a shallow amphitheater, on plastic sandy clay up to 30 feet thick, lying on top of sandstone and shale (Norton Formation). The bedrock dips 22° south, the same direction as the slope of the hill. The...

Pacific geomagnetic secular variation Pacific geomagnetic secular variation
We have considered several different types of records of long-period geomagnetic secular variation: direct measurements made in geomagnetic observatories; paleomagnetic measurements on Hawaiian lava flows with accurately known ages in the interval 0 to 200 years; paleomagentic measurements on Hawaiian lava flows with loosely determined ages within the interval 200 to 10,000 years ago...
