Deformation of poorly consolidated sediment during shallow emplacement of a basalt sill, Coso Range, California Deformation of poorly consolidated sediment during shallow emplacement of a basalt sill, Coso Range, California
A 150-m-long, wedge-shaped unit of folded and faulted marly siltstone crops out between undeformed sedimentary rocks on the north flank of the Coso Range, California. The several-meter-thick blunt end of this wedge abuts the north margin of a basaltic sill of comparable thickness. Chaotically deformed siltstone crops out locally at the margin of this sill, and at one locality breccia...

A history of paleoflood hydrology in the United States A history of paleoflood hydrology in the United States
The origins of paleoflood hydrology in the United States can be traced back to the beginning of the 19th century, when windgaps and watergaps in the Applachians were believed to have been eroded by extraordinary floods as large lakes that were ponded behind the ridges rapidly drained. Sediment evidence for extraordinary floods was evoked several decades later when glacial sediments in...

Implications of silicic vent patterns for the presence of large crustal magma chambers Implications of silicic vent patterns for the presence of large crustal magma chambers
On the basis of the distribution of silicic vents, many volcanic fields can be grouped with (1) igneous systems that may be small and whose vent locations are controlled by regional tectonics, (2) those that include sizable crustal magma bodies which erupt at sites determined by their anomalous local stress fields, or (3) relatively small volume systems that are transitional between...
