Late Holocene alluvial geomorphology of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park area, southwest Utah Late Holocene alluvial geomorphology of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park area, southwest Utah

This study traces the geomorphic development of the alluvial valley of the Virgin River in the Zion National Park region of southwest Utah. The purpose is to identify, date, and interpret the patterns of erosion and deposition that formed the alluvial valley over the past 1,000 years. This information is a basis for understanding how the geomorphology of the alluvial valley changes under

Digital representation of the Washington state geologic map: a contribution to the Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project Digital representation of the Washington state geologic map: a contribution to the Interior Columbia River Basin Ecosystem Management Project

This report describes the digital representation of the Washington state geologic map (Hunting and others, 1961). This report contains an explantion of why the data were prepared, a description of the digital data, and information on obtaining the digital files. This report is one in a series of digital maps, data files, and reports generated by the U.S. Geological Survey to provide...

Preliminary geologic map of the Fillmore 7.5' quadrangle, Southern California: A digital database Preliminary geologic map of the Fillmore 7.5' quadrangle, Southern California: A digital database

This Open-File report is a digital geologic map database. This pamphlet serves to introduce and describe the digital data. There is no paper map included in the Open-File report. This digital map database is compiled from previously published sources combined with some new mapping and modifications in nomenclature. The geologic map database delineates map units that are identified by...

Metamorphic facies map of southeastern Alaska: Distribution, facies, and ages of regionally metamorphosed rocks Metamorphic facies map of southeastern Alaska: Distribution, facies, and ages of regionally metamorphosed rocks

Nearly all of the bedrock in Southeastern Alaska has been metamorphosed, much of it under medium-grade conditions during metamorphic episodes that were associated with widespread plutonism. The oldest metamorphisms affected probable arc rocks near southern Prince of Wales Island and occurred during early and middle Paleozoic orogenies. The predominant period of metamorphism and...

Diatom constraints on the position of the Antarctic Polar Front in the middle part of the Pliocene Diatom constraints on the position of the Antarctic Polar Front in the middle part of the Pliocene

The relative percentages of diatom taxa in 5 deep-sea cores (DSDP 266, ODP 699A, ODP 747A, ODP 751 A, and Eltanin Core 50-28) from the Southern Ocean are determined for an interval centered on 3.1 to 2.9 Ma in the middle part of the Pliocene. This climatically warm interval, which is being studied by the PRISM Project of the U.S. Geological Survey, coincides with a proposed interval of...

Digital geologic map of the Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho and Montana Digital geologic map of the Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho and Montana

This report describes the contents of a digital dataset (approximately 2 MB) which consists of ARC/INFO Export format files and associated macro programs. The dataset includes a geologic map of the Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho and Montana that was digitized at a scale of 1:62,500. The dataset also includes macro programs and complete plot files for creating paper copies of the map. A...
