Modeling the reflectance spectrum of Callisto 0.25 to 4.1μm Modeling the reflectance spectrum of Callisto 0.25 to 4.1μm

The reflectance spectrum of Callisto from 0.2 to 4.1 μm is modeled using a simultaneous intimate plus areal mixture solution of ice and dark material which satisfies absorption band depths and reflectance levels. The model uses the radiative transfer theory based on Hapke's (1981, J. Geophys. Res. 86, 3039–3054) work, optical constants of materials and includes effects of grain size and...

Preliminary velocity and resistivity models of the Loma Prieta Earthquake region Preliminary velocity and resistivity models of the Loma Prieta Earthquake region

A preliminary three-dimensional velocity model of the Loma Prieta epicentral region in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California has been derived using raypaths from aftershocks recorded by the U.S.G.S. seismic network. In addition, a magnetotelluric sounding profile was completed prior to the earthquake and a two-dimensional resistivity model computed. The velocity and resistivity models...

Infrared spectra and crystal chemistry of scapolites: implications for Martian mineralogy Infrared spectra and crystal chemistry of scapolites: implications for Martian mineralogy

Near‐infrared and midinfrared spectra of a wide range of scapolite compositions were studied to determine the cause of the 2.36‐μm features that have been correlated with similar features in the near‐IR spectrum of Mars. We attribute the 2.36−μm features to vibrations caused by HCO3− and HSO4− in the anion sites of scapolite. The 2.36‐μm absorption complex consists of four overlapping...

Sedimentology and petroleum occurrence, Schoolhouse Member, Maroon Formation (Lower Permian), northwestern Colorado Sedimentology and petroleum occurrence, Schoolhouse Member, Maroon Formation (Lower Permian), northwestern Colorado

The Lower Permian Schoolhouse Member of the Maroon Formation forms a partly exhumed petroleum reservoir in the Eagle basin of northwestern Colorado. The Schoolhouse consists mainly of yellowish gray to gray, low-angle to parallel bedded, very fine to fine-grained sandstone of eolian sand-sheet origin; interbedded fluvial deposits are present in most sections. Geological and geochemical...

Mineral Resources of the Mount Nutt Wilderness Study Area, Mohave County, Arizona Mineral Resources of the Mount Nutt Wilderness Study Area, Mohave County, Arizona

The Mount Nutt Wilderness Study Area (AZ-020-024) is located in the Black Mountains about 15 mi west of Kingman, Arizona. At the request of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, approximately 27,210 acres of the wilderness study area was evaluated for mineral resources (known) and mineral resource potential (undiscovered). In this report, the area studied is referred to as the 'wilderness...
