Geologic map and map database of parts of Marin, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, and Sonoma counties, California Geologic map and map database of parts of Marin, San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, and Sonoma counties, California

This digital map database, compiled from previously published and unpublished data, and new mapping by the authors, represents the general distribution of bedrock and surficial deposits in the mapped area. Together with the accompanying text file (mageo.txt, mageo.pdf, or mageo.ps), it provides current information on the geologic structure and stratigraphy of the area covered. The...

Distribution of a suite of elements including arsenic and mercury in Alabama coal Distribution of a suite of elements including arsenic and mercury in Alabama coal

Arsenic and other elements are unusually abundant in Alabama coal. This conclusion is based on chemical analyses of coal in the U.S. Geological Survey's National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS; Bragg and others, 1994). According to NCRDS data, the average concentration of arsenic in Alabama coal (72 ppm) is three times higher than is the average for all U.S. coal (24 ppm). Of the U.S...

Earthquakes in and near the northeastern United States, 1638-1998 Earthquakes in and near the northeastern United States, 1638-1998

The data are those used to make a large-format, colored map of earthquakes in the northeastern United States and adjacent parts of Canada and the Atlantic Ocean (Wheeler, 2000; Wheeler and others, 2001; references in Data_Quality_Information, Lineage). The map shows the locations of 1,069 known earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or larger, and is designed for a non-technical audience. Colored...

Generalized surficial geologic map of the Denver 1° x 2° quadrangle, Colorado Generalized surficial geologic map of the Denver 1° x 2° quadrangle, Colorado

Thirty-nine types of surficial geologic deposits and residual materials of Quaternary age are described and mapped in the greater Denver area, in part of the Front Range, and in the piedmont and plains east of Denver, Boulder, and Castle Rock. Descriptions appear in the pamphlet that accompanies the map. Landslide deposits, colluvium, residuum, alluvium, and other deposits or materials...

Geologic and structure maps of the Kalispell 1° x 2° quadrangle, Montana, and Alberta and British Columbia Geologic and structure maps of the Kalispell 1° x 2° quadrangle, Montana, and Alberta and British Columbia

This dataset was digitized by the U.S. Geological Survey EROS Data Center and U.S. Geological Survey Spokane Field Office for input into an Arc/Info geographic information systsem (GIS). The digital geologic map database can be queried in many ways to produce a variety of derivative geologic maps.
