Geologic map of the Cerro Gordo Peak 7.5' Quadrangle, Inyo County, California Geologic map of the Cerro Gordo Peak 7.5' Quadrangle, Inyo County, California
This digital map database, compiled from new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the mapped area. Together with the accompanying pamphlet, it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area covered. The database delineates map units that are identified by general age and lithology following...
Map showing coastal cliff retreat rates along the Big Sur coast, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties, California Map showing coastal cliff retreat rates along the Big Sur coast, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties, California
The average coastal cliff retreat rate along the Big Sur coast is 18 ? 6 cm/yr as measured over a 52-year time period. The erosion reference features measured as the cliff edge include the well-defined cliff edges common to marine terraces, slight breaks in the slope defining the upper edge of the active lower slope, and the road grade. Cliff erosion and retreat are focused in isolated...
Maps showing estimated sediment yield from coastal landslides and active slope distribution along the Big Sur coast, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties, California Maps showing estimated sediment yield from coastal landslides and active slope distribution along the Big Sur coast, Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties, California
The 1982-83 and 1997-98 El Ni?os brought very high precipitation to California?s central coast; this precipitation resulted in raised groundwater levels, coastal flooding, and destabilized slopes throughout the region. Large landslides in the coastal mountains of Big Sur in Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties blocked sections of California State Route 1, closing the road for months at...
Surficial Geologic Map of the Tanacross B-6 Quadrangle, East-Central Alaska Surficial Geologic Map of the Tanacross B-6 Quadrangle, East-Central Alaska
The Tanacross B-6 1:63,360-scale quadrangle, through which the Alaska Highway runs, is in east-central Alaska about 190 km west of the Yukon border. The surficial geologic mapping in the quadrangle is in support of the 'Geologic Mapping in support of land, resources and hazards issues in Alaska' Project of the USGS National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program. The Tanacross B-6...
