Seismic-wave attenuation associated with crustal faults in the New Madrid seismic zone Seismic-wave attenuation associated with crustal faults in the New Madrid seismic zone
The attenuation of upper crustal seismic waves that are refracted with a velocity of about 6 kilometers per second varies greatly among profiles in the area of the New Madrid seismic zone in the central Mississippi Valley. The waves that have the strongest attenuation pass through the seismic trend along the axis of the Reelfoot rift in the area of the Blytheville arch. Defocusing of the...

Major off-axis hydrothermal activity on the northern Gorda Ridge Major off-axis hydrothermal activity on the northern Gorda Ridge
The first hydrothermal field on the northern Gorda Ridge, the Sea Cliff hydrothermal field, was discovered and geologic controls of hydrothermal activity in the rift valley were investigated on a dive series using the DSV Sea Cliff. The Sea Cliff hydrothermal field was discovered where predicted at the intersection of axis-oblique and axis-parallel faults at the south end of a linear...

Recent geophysical and geological research in Antarctica related to the assessment of petroleum resources and potential environmental hazards to their development Recent geophysical and geological research in Antarctica related to the assessment of petroleum resources and potential environmental hazards to their development
During the 6-year negotiation of and adoption of the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resources Activities on June 2, 1988, various countries have increased their attention to the possibility of exploitation of Antarctica's petroleum resources, which are covered by this treaty. However, there are no known petroleum resources in Antarctica, and scientific information is...

Origin, structure, and evolution of a reattachment bar, Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona Origin, structure, and evolution of a reattachment bar, Colorado River, Grand Canyon, Arizona
In a channel expansion, flow can separate from the bank, creating a zone of relatively weak recirculating current. Bars that accumulate in this weak flow near the point where flow reattaches to the bank are called reattachment bars. As a reattachment bar evolves, the recirculation zone may fill with sediment and restrict flow from the main channel. The increasingly restricted flow over...

Flume experiments on the alignment of transverse, oblique, and longitudinal dunes in directionally varying flows Flume experiments on the alignment of transverse, oblique, and longitudinal dunes in directionally varying flows
For more than a century geologists have wondered why some bedforms are orientated roughly transverse to flow, whereas others are parallel or oblique to flow. This problem of bedform alignment was studied experimentally using subaqueous dunes on a 3–6-m-diameter sand-covered turntable on the floor of a 4-m-wide flume. In each experiment, two flow directions (relative to the bed) were...

Monitoring the hydrologic system for potential effects of geothermal and ground-water development in the Long Valley caldera, Mono County, California, U.S.A. Monitoring the hydrologic system for potential effects of geothermal and ground-water development in the Long Valley caldera, Mono County, California, U.S.A.
In the early 1980's, renewed interest in the geothermal potential of the Long Valley caldera, California, highlighted the need to balance the benefits of energy development with the established recreational activities of the area. The Long Valley Hydrologic Advisory Committee, formed in 1987, instituted a monitoring program to collect data during the early stages of resource utilization...
