A direct method for calculating instrument noise levels in side-by-side seismometer evaluations A direct method for calculating instrument noise levels in side-by-side seismometer evaluations

The subject of determining the inherent system noise levels present in modem broadband closed loop seismic sensors has been an evolving topic ever since closed loop systems became available. Closed loop systems are unique in that the system noise can not be determined via a blocked mass test as in older conventional open loop seismic sensors. Instead, most investigators have resorted to...

Preliminary geologic map of the Puu Anahulu quadrangle, Hawaii Preliminary geologic map of the Puu Anahulu quadrangle, Hawaii

Vent deposits and lava flows from Hualalai Volcano and lava flows from Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea Volcanoes cover the Puu Anahulu 7 1/2-minute quadrangle. Hualalai's diffuse north-trending rift zone, marked by the large trachyte cone of Puu Waawaa and several basaltic spatter cones, is located mainly in the southwestern part of the quadrangle. Several Hualalai flows originated in the...

Inner shelf deposits of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama region, Gulf of Mexico Inner shelf deposits of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama region, Gulf of Mexico

The late Quaternary morphology, shallow stratigraphy and sediment distribution of the Louisiana-Mississippi-Alabama inner shelf region are the product of transgressive and regressive sedimentary processes. Shelf sedimentary facies were deposited by deltaic progradation, followed by shoreface erosion and submergence. This information is based on interpretations and synthesis of more than...
