Landslides in the vicinity of the Fort Randall Reservoir, South Dakota Landslides in the vicinity of the Fort Randall Reservoir, South Dakota
This report covers the first 4 years (1952 through 1956) of a project to investigate landslides in the vicinity of the Fort Randall Reservoir in South Dakota and to determine the effects of the new reservoir on landslide activity.

Preliminary report on the geologic and geophysical investigations of the Loveland Basin landslide, Clear Creek County, Colorado Preliminary report on the geologic and geophysical investigations of the Loveland Basin landslide, Clear Creek County, Colorado
Geologic and geophysical investigations of the Loveland Basin landslide, which formed at the cut for the east portal of the Straight Creek tunnel, were made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Public Road and the Colorado Department of Highways. The investigations indicate that the slide has a probable minimum volume of 500,000 cubic yards weighing 1,000...

Geomagnetic polarity epochs: Sierra Nevada II Geomagnetic polarity epochs: Sierra Nevada II
Ten new determinations on volcanic extrusions in the Sierra Nevada with potassium-argon ages of 3.1 million years or less indicate that the remanent magnetizations fall into two groups, a normal group in which the remanent magnetization is directed downward and to the north, and a reversed group magnetized up and to the south. Thermomagnetic experiments and mineralogic studies fail to...

Landslide conditions along the Ferry County highway parallelling Lake Roosevelt from Kettle Falls to the mouth of the Spokane River, Washington Landslide conditions along the Ferry County highway parallelling Lake Roosevelt from Kettle Falls to the mouth of the Spokane River, Washington
As part of the program of the U.S. Geological Survey, landslides are being studied in several localities in the United States. These studies are directed toward assembling criteria for recognition of landslides, classification, and cataloging of remedial or control methods that have been effective. In the gorge of the Columbia Ricer in Washington, landslides of large magnitude have been...

The landslide of Sainte-Adresse cliff The landslide of Sainte-Adresse cliff
The Sainte-Adresse Cliff in the neighborhood of Le Havre was subject in the past to repeated movements of greater of lesser scope which in 1944 have become markedly accentuated because of works on the "Atlantic Wall" and bomb and mine explosions. The situation became dangerous and required a complete study including geological and geotechnical surveys with borings and search of slip...

Landslides in shale at Rapid City, South Dakota Landslides in shale at Rapid City, South Dakota
In the past 5 years several landslides have originated in hillsides at Rapid City, South Dakota, with resulting damage both to city streets and to private dwellings. The present investigation is a contribution to the continuing study of landslides by the U. S. Geological Survey, although a formal project of landslide investigation in Rapid City has not been established.
