Evolution of the continental margin of southern Spain and the Alboran Sea Evolution of the continental margin of southern Spain and the Alboran Sea

Seismic reflection profiles and magnetic intensity measurements were collected across the southern continental margin of Spain and the Alboran basin between Spain and Africa. Correlation of the distinct seismic stratigraphy observed in the profiles to stratigraphic information obtained from cores at Deep Sea Drilling Project site 121 allows effective dating of tectonic events. The...

Speculations on processes responsible for mesoscale current lineations on the continental shelf, southern California Speculations on processes responsible for mesoscale current lineations on the continental shelf, southern California

A side-scan sonar survey of San Pedro shelf, California, reveals areas of mesoscale current lineations oriented approximately north-northeast in water depths of 20-25 m. Widths of sand ribbons range from 40 to 120 m and intervening erosional furrows, from 15 to 50 m. A conceptual model shows that the scale and orientation of current lineations agree with the dimensions and axial...

Influence of San Gabriel submarine canyon on narrow-shelf sediment dynamics, southern California Influence of San Gabriel submarine canyon on narrow-shelf sediment dynamics, southern California

Variations in the concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSM) collected 1 m above bottom, changes in vertical profiles of light transmission, and substrate textural patterns reveal a corridor for preferential sediment transport on San Pedro continental shelf, California. During the winter, this corridor, designated the preferential transport corridor (PTC), is defined by...

Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: April 1980 Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: April 1980

The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory; therefore it should be regarded as preliminary.

Seismic properties investigation of the Springer Ranch landslide, Powder River basin, Wyoming Seismic properties investigation of the Springer Ranch landslide, Powder River basin, Wyoming

A recent and rapid increase since the mid-1970's in commercial and residential development in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana, is caused by exploitation of vast coal and other resources in the basin. One geologic hazard to such development is landsliding. A landslide sufficiently representative of others in the area was chosen for detailed seismic studies. Studies of this...

Surface faulting near Livermore, California, associated with the January 1980 earthquakes Surface faulting near Livermore, California, associated with the January 1980 earthquakes

The earthquakes of 24 January (Ms 5.8) 1980 north of Livermore, California, and 26 January (Ms 5.2), were accompanied by surface faulting in the Greenville fault zone and apparently in the Las Positas fault zone also. The surface faulting was discontinuous and of small displacement. The main rupture within the Greenville fault zone trended about N.38°W. It was at least 4.2 km long and...
