The earthquake sequence near Danville, California, 1970 The earthquake sequence near Danville, California, 1970
Several thousand small earthquakes, with magnitudes ranging up to 4, occurred near Danville, California, during May, June, and July 1970. Seven temporary seismographs were installed near the epicentral region to augment an existing telemetered network within 1 day after the first felt earthquake. The dense concentration of 10 seismographs within 12 km of the seismic activity and the...

Geologic map of Late Cenozoic deposits, Santa Clara County, California Geologic map of Late Cenozoic deposits, Santa Clara County, California
This map is the first of several in the San Francisco Bay region showing the distribution and differentiation of the late Cenozoic alluvial, estuarine, and volcanic deposits. The sedimentary deposits of gravel, sand, silt, and clay were separated into geologic map units on the basis of their post-depositional soil development, texture, and geomorphology. Some of the geologic units are...

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...
