Crater clusters and light mantle at the Apollo 17 site: A result of secondary impact from Tycho Crater clusters and light mantle at the Apollo 17 site: A result of secondary impact from Tycho
The morphologies of Tycho secondary craters and their ejecta deposits were studied using full-Moon, Lunar-Orbiter, and Apollo panoramic photographs. These data were compared with similar data for the secondary craters and light mantle of the Apollo 17 landing site. The results indicate that (1) the central crater cluster and the light mantle can be attributed to Tycho, (2) the dominant...

A FORTRAN program for calculating nonlinear seismic ground response A FORTRAN program for calculating nonlinear seismic ground response
The program described here was designed for calculating the nonlinear seismic response of a system of horizontal soil layers underlain by a semi-infinite elastic medium representing bedrock. Excitation is a vertically incident shear wave in the underlying medium. The nonlinear hysteretic behavior of the soil is represented by a model consisting of simple linear springs and Coulomb...

Large landslides, composed of megabreccia, interbedded in Miocene basin deposits, southeastern Arizona Large landslides, composed of megabreccia, interbedded in Miocene basin deposits, southeastern Arizona
The landslides in the Kearny and El Capitan Mountain quadrangles, Pinal and Gila Counties, Ariz., are tabular or lens like masses of megabreccia enclosed in Miocene basin deposits. The megabreccias within individual slide blocks are composed of pervasively brecciated Precambrian and younger formations that remain in normal stratigraphic sequence, indicating that each landslide moved as a...

Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: February 1977 Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: February 1977
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.

Seismicity of the Pahute Mesa area, Nevada Test Site: 8 October 1975 to 30 June 1976 Seismicity of the Pahute Mesa area, Nevada Test Site: 8 October 1975 to 30 June 1976
A total of 1,075 earthquakes occurred in the Pahute Mesa area with 2.5≤ML≤4.9 during the period October 28, 1975, to June 28, 1976. The majority of these earthquakes are aftershocks of the nuclear events, Kasseri, Inlet, Muenster, Fontina, Cheshire, Estuary, Colby, and Pool (5.8≤ML≤6.3). Smaller nuclear events (ML≤5.5) on Rainier Mesa and Yucca Flat detonated in the same time period did...
