On the interpretation of the geomagnetic energy spectrum On the interpretation of the geomagnetic energy spectrum
Two recent high-degree magnetic energy spectra, based mostly on MAGSAT data, are compared and found to agree very well out to order and degree n = 15, but the spectrum remains somewhat uncertain for higher degrees. The hypothesis that a primary break in the slope of the spectrum, plotted semi-logarithmically, is due to a transition from dominance by core sources to dominance by crustal

System designed for issuing landslide alerts in the San Francisco Bay area System designed for issuing landslide alerts in the San Francisco Bay area
A system for forecasting landslides during major storms has been developed for the San Francisco Bay area by the U.S Geological Survey and was successfully tested during heavy storms in the bay area during February 1986. Based on the forecasts provided by the USGS, the National Weather Service (NWS) included landslide warnings in its regular weather forecasts or in special weather...

DEFORESTATION AND LANDSLIDES IN YUNNAN, CHINA. DEFORESTATION AND LANDSLIDES IN YUNNAN, CHINA.
Landslides historically have caused severe erosion problems in the Xiao River drainage region of northeastern Yunnan Province, China, that hence resulted in serious economic and social consequences. Owing to monsoonal storms of high rainfall intensity, the erosion potential is high in this mountainous, seismically active region. Landslides transported large quantities of materials into...

Recent mafic volcanism on Mars Recent mafic volcanism on Mars
The evidence for volcanism on Mars is commonly accepted, but none has been documented in the Valles Marineris equatorial rift system. A recent survey of the troughs in this valley revealed dark patches that are interpreted to be volcanic vents. The configuration and association of these patches with tectonic structures suggest that they are of internal origin; their albedo and color...

A comparison of the largest rainfall-runoff floods in the United States with those of the People's Republic of China and the world A comparison of the largest rainfall-runoff floods in the United States with those of the People's Republic of China and the world
The maximum historic rainfall-runoff floods measured in the United States, the People's Republic of China and the world all plot close to a smooth curve of drainage area versus discharge. In the United States, the possibility that flood peaks were overestimated and the closeness of these peaks to the probable maximum floods suggest that this limiting curve of maximum floods will not...
