Impacts of climate change on landscapes of the eastern Sierra Nevada and western Great Basin Impacts of climate change on landscapes of the eastern Sierra Nevada and western Great Basin

This effort was developed under a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiative to sponsor science workshops focusing on various of multidiscipline, multiprogram themes in the arid Southwest. The intent was to use the workshops to explore leading edge questions, as well as to provide better communication and collaboration between USGS and other organizations and agencies. The workshop topics...

Geologic map and digital database of the San Rafael Mtn. 7.5-minute quadrangle, Santa Barbara County, California Geologic map and digital database of the San Rafael Mtn. 7.5-minute quadrangle, Santa Barbara County, California

Geologic mapping of the San Rafael Primitive Area (now the San Rafael Wilderness) by Gower and others (1966) and Vedder and others (1967) did not include all of the San Rafael Mtn. quadrangle, and the part that was mapped was done in reconnaissance fashion. To help resolve some of the structural and stratigraphic ambiguities of the earlier mapping and to complete the mapping of the...

Eagle Mountain Mine: Geology of the former Kaiser Steel Operation in Riverside County, California Eagle Mountain Mine: Geology of the former Kaiser Steel Operation in Riverside County, California

This investigation of the Eagle Mountain Mine area, though cursory, revealed new structural, alteration, and stratigraphic relations. Eagle Mountain ores were previously an important source of iron to the western U. S. Ore (where fresh) is magnetite-pyrite rock forming two stratabound horizons virtually continuous for 11 km. Gneissic basement rocks are overlain by two sedimentary units...

Use of Landsat MSS and TM imagery to improve reconnaissance geologic mapping in the Ruby quadrangle, west-central Alaska: A section in Geological studies in Alaska by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1999 Use of Landsat MSS and TM imagery to improve reconnaissance geologic mapping in the Ruby quadrangle, west-central Alaska: A section in Geological studies in Alaska by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1999

By using Multispectral Scanner (MSS) and Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite images, the spatial relation of units JMtu (mafic, ultramafic, and sedimentary rocks, undivided) and PzZrqs (pelitic and quartzitic schist) of Wilson and others (1998) from the northeastern portion of the Ruby 1:250,000-scale quadrangle geologic map was further defined. The MSS image was first analyzed using spectral
