Three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: A framework for fluid transport modeling and engineering design Three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model at Yucca Mountain, Nevada: A framework for fluid transport modeling and engineering design
A three-dimensional lithostratigraphic model of the central block of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, illustrates how some activities can serve both site characterization and design and construction of the Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF). Site-characterization activities supported by this model include characterizing the three-dimensional geometry of lithologic units and faults, and providing...

Northward displacements of forearc slivers in the Coast Ranges of California and Southwest Oregon during the late Mesozoic and early Cenozoic Northward displacements of forearc slivers in the Coast Ranges of California and Southwest Oregon during the late Mesozoic and early Cenozoic
North American-Farallon-Kula plate motion data, combined with estimated strikeslip displacements obtained from the obliquity of convergence along active circumPacific subduction zones, can be used to estimate the amount of strike-slip displacement along the forearc region of western North America. This evidence suggests a minumum of 500 km and maximum of 1600 km displacement with respect...

Broad trends in geomagnetic paleointensity on Hawaii during Holocene time Broad trends in geomagnetic paleointensity on Hawaii during Holocene time
Paleointensity determinations have been obtained from 22 basaltic lava flows on the island of Hawaii using the Thelliers' method. Radiocarbon dating indicates that these flows erupted at intervals ranging from about 200 to 1000 years, and results of the experiments provide an estimate of broad trends in geomagnetic paleointensity during Holocene time in the vicinity of Hawaii. Most of...

Development of 3-D lithostratigraphic and confidence models at Yucca Mountain, Nevada Development of 3-D lithostratigraphic and confidence models at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Computerized three-dimensional geologic models of potential high-level nuclear waste repositories such as Yucca Moutain, Nevada, are important for visualizing the complex interplay of (1) thickness and facies variations in lithostratigraphic units and (2) the disruption of these units by faults. The concept of a 'model of confidence' in the lithostratigraphic model is introduced to show...
