Digital mining claim density map for federal lands in Washington: 1996 Digital mining claim density map for federal lands in Washington: 1996
This report describes a digital map generated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to provide digital spatial mining claim density information for federal lands in Washington as of March 1997. Mining claim data is earth science information deemed to be relevant to the assessment of historic, current, and future ecological, economic, and social systems. There is no paper map included in...

Geologic datasets for weights-of-evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 2. Mineral databases Geologic datasets for weights-of-evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 2. Mineral databases
Digital mineral databases are necessary to carry out weights-of-evidence modeling of mineral resources for epithermal gold and carbonate-hosted lead-zinc deposits in northeast Washington. This report describes spreadsheet tables consisting of: 1) training sites for epithermal gold, 2) placer gold sites, 3) training sites for carbonate-hosted lead-zinc, and 4) small lead-zinc mines and...

Geometry, structure, and concealed lithology of the San Rafael Basin, southeastern Arizona Geometry, structure, and concealed lithology of the San Rafael Basin, southeastern Arizona
The contiguous United States has been well explored for exposed conventional mineral deposits. Therefore, it is likely that many economically viable and strategically significant conventional undiscovered mineral deposits will be found in bedrock concealed beneath basin sediments. Mineral resource assessments must incorporate an understanding of the geometry, structure, and concealed...

Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 3. Minerals-related permits on national forests, 1967 to 1998 Geologic datasets for weights of evidence analysis in northeast Washington: 3. Minerals-related permits on national forests, 1967 to 1998
Permits to explore for and (or) develop mineral resources on forest land can be used to indicate locations and types of mineral-related activities on national forests. Permits for these activities require filing at the Forest Service a Notice of Intention (Notice) to conduct mineral exploration activities and (or) a Plan of Operation (Plan). A Plan of Operation is required is significant

How useful is landslide hazard information? Lessons learned in the San Francisco Bay region How useful is landslide hazard information? Lessons learned in the San Francisco Bay region
Landslides, worldwide and in the United States, are arguably the most costly natural hazard. Substantial landslide information is available, but much of it remains underutilized, as a disconnect exists among geologists, decision makers, and the public. The lack of a national landslide insurance policy exacerbates this situation and promotes litigation as the principal recourse for...
