Geologic interpretation of reconnaissance aeromagnetic survey of northeastern Alaska Geologic interpretation of reconnaissance aeromagnetic survey of northeastern Alaska
Aeromagnetic reconnaissance of northeastern Alaska in 1965 covered approximately 100,000 square miles, from lat 64° N. to the Arctic Ocean and from the Alaska-Yukon boundary to long 148°30' W. A magnetic contour map was compiled from data from the 1965 survey and earlier surveys. On the basis of these data, northeastern Alaska may be divided into five areas, each having a distinct...

Seismic environment of the Burro Flats site, Ventura County, California: a brief, limited literature review Seismic environment of the Burro Flats site, Ventura County, California: a brief, limited literature review
A limited review of available literature suggests that the maximum horizontal ground acceleration at the Burro Flats site from earthquakes in the region could range from less than 0.1 to 0.49 g. A magnitude 8 earthquake on the nearby San Andreas fault could produce ground acceleration in the range 0.18 to 0.31 g, and an expectable larger earthquake on that fault could produce larger...

Blueschist-facies metamorphism related to regional thrust faulting Blueschist-facies metamorphism related to regional thrust faulting
Rocks of the blueschist (glaucophane schist) facies occur throughout the world in narrow tectonic belts associated with ultramafic rocks. In the Coast Range province of California, blueschist rocks are devloped in the eugeosynclinal Franciscan Formation of Late Mesozoic age. The blueschist rocks form a narrow belt for more than 800 km along the eastern margin of this province and...
