Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: June 1981 Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: June 1981

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.

Landslides from the February 4, 1976, Guatemala earthquake Landslides from the February 4, 1976, Guatemala earthquake

The M (Richter magnitude) = 7.5 Guatemala earthquake of February 4, 1976, generated more than 10,000 landslides throughout an area of approximately 16,000 km2. These landslides caused hundreds of fatalities as well as extensive property damage. Landslides disrupted both highways and the railroad system and thus severely hindered early rescue efforts. In Guatemala City, extensive property...

East Pacific rise at 21°N: the volcanic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes of the central axis East Pacific rise at 21°N: the volcanic, tectonic, and hydrothermal processes of the central axis

Photographs obtained by the ANGUS survey system at 21°N reveal many similarities to the geological processes delineated at other spreading centers and in particular those observed in the Galapagos Rift at 86°W. The region of recent volcanism is restricted to a narrow zone (Zone 1) approximately 1 km wide. This suggests that the width of the magma chamber feeding these flows is also...

Road log and documentary photographs for 15 significant biostratigraphic sites in Miocene-Pliocene limestone, Kingshill Seaway, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands Road log and documentary photographs for 15 significant biostratigraphic sites in Miocene-Pliocene limestone, Kingshill Seaway, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Detailed examination of planktonic Foraminifera from the type section of the Miocene Kingshill Limestone and from 14 other Miocene and lower Pliocene limestone exposures in the Kingshill Seaway of St. Croix ((at 17°44' N., long 64° 46' W.; fig. 1) has led to the first publication of an in-depth biostratigraphic investigation of this area with application of the most up-to-date zonation...

Geochemical evidence for modern sediment accumulation on the continental shelf off southern New England Geochemical evidence for modern sediment accumulation on the continental shelf off southern New England

An area of fine-grained sediment approximately 170 km x 74 km in size, located in water depths between 60 m and 150 m, south of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., is a site of modern sediment deposition. The 14C ages systematically increase with sediment depth from about 1,300 years B.P. at the surface to 8,000-10,000 years B.P. at the depth of maximum core penetration. The old age for the...
