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...

Cenozoic unconformities and depositional supersequences of North Atlantic continental margins: Testing the Vail model Cenozoic unconformities and depositional supersequences of North Atlantic continental margins: Testing the Vail model
Integrated outcrop, borehole, and seismic reflection stratigraphy from the U.S. and Irish margins of the North Atlantic basin reveals a framework of Cenozoic depositional supersequences and interregional unconformities that resembles the Vail depositional model. Paleo-bathymetric and paleoceanographic analyses of associated microfossil assemblages indicate a genetic link between the...

Field guide to sedimentary structures in the Navajo and Entrada sandstones in southern Utah and northern Arizona Field guide to sedimentary structures in the Navajo and Entrada sandstones in southern Utah and northern Arizona
This field-trip guide describes the common sedimentary structures that occur in eolian sands. The outcrops that are described occur in the Navajo and Entrada Sandstones between the areas of Page, Arizona and St. George, Utah (figure I), but the sedimentary structures of these two sandstones are typical of most eolian deposits. The main part of the guide discusses the geologic setting and...

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...

Reflections from midcrustal rocks within the Mesozoic subduction complex near the eastern Aleutian Trench Reflections from midcrustal rocks within the Mesozoic subduction complex near the eastern Aleutian Trench
Seismic reflection data collected in 1973 by Western Geophysical Company show that highly reflective rocks make up the midcrust of the convergent margin adjacent to the eastern Aleutian Trench. These rocks form an arch that strikes obliquely across the strongly expressed northeast-southwest structural grain of exposed Mesozoic rocks. In an earlier report we proposed that the deep events...

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...
