Why deposits of longitudinal dunes are rarely recognized in the geologic record Why deposits of longitudinal dunes are rarely recognized in the geologic record
Dunes that are morphologically of linear type, many of which are probably of longitudinal type in a morphodynamic sense, are common in modern deserts, but their deposits are rarely identified in aeolian sandstones. One reason for non-recognition of such dunes is that they can migrate laterally when they are not exactly parallel to the long-term sand-transport direction, thereby...

Saudi Arabian seismic-refraction profile: A traveltime interpretation of crustal and upper mantle structure Saudi Arabian seismic-refraction profile: A traveltime interpretation of crustal and upper mantle structure
The crustal and upper mantle compressional-wave velocity structure across the southwestern Arabian Shield has been investigated by a 1000-km-long seismic refraction profile. The profile begins in Mesozoic cover rocks near Riyadh on the Arabian Platform, trends southwesterly across three major Precambrian tectonic provinces, traverses Cenozoic rocks of the coastal plain near Jizan, and...

A general earthquake-observation system (GEOS) A general earthquake-observation system (GEOS)
Microprocessor technology has permitted the development of a General Earthquake-Observation System (GEOS) useful for most seismic applications. Central-processing-unit control via robust software of system functions that are isolated on hardware modules permits field adaptability of the system to a wide variety of active and passive seismic experiments and straightforward modification...

Monitoring the hydrothermal system in Long Valley caldera, California Monitoring the hydrothermal system in Long Valley caldera, California
An ongoing program to monitor the hydrothermal system in Long Valley for changes caused by volcanic or tectonic processes has produced considerable data on the water chemistry and discharge of springs and fluid temperatures and pressures in wells. Chemical and isotopic data collected under this program have greatly expanded the knowledge of chemical variability both in space and time...

Crustal structure of the southern Calaveras fault zone, central California, from seismic refraction investigations Crustal structure of the southern Calaveras fault zone, central California, from seismic refraction investigations
A magnitude 5.7 earthquake on 6 August 1979, within the Calaveras fault zone, near Coyote Lake of west-central California, motivated a seismic-refraction investigation in this area. A northwest-southeast profile along the fault, as well as two fan profiles across the fault were recorded to examine the velocity structure of this region. The analysis of the data reveals a complicated upper...
