Post 12 m.y. rotation of southwest Washington Post 12 m.y. rotation of southwest Washington
Paleomagnetic field directions from the basalt of Pack Sack Lookout are compared to those from the Pomona Member of the Saddle Mountains Basalt of the Columbia River Basalt Group. The Pomona crops out over a wide region on the Columbia Plateau east of the Cascade Range, and the basalt of Pack Sack Lookout crops out well to the west of the Cascades about 30 to 60 km east of the Washington...

A geologic reconnaissance of the Cycladic blueschist belt, Greece A geologic reconnaissance of the Cycladic blueschist belt, Greece
The Cycladic blueschist belt consists of two distinctive segments separated by a broad zone of superposed granitic and high-temperature metamorphic rocks. The northern segment contains early metamorphic fold axes and parallel glaucophane lineations that trend ∼060° with a progressive increase in metamorphism toward the southeast. The southern segment contains similar fold axes and...

Two examples of seismic zonation in the San Francisco Bay region Two examples of seismic zonation in the San Francisco Bay region
The science of earthquakes in complex, requiring data and research in seismology, geology, soil mechanics, geophysics, hydrology, and engineering. Nevertheless, if earthquake hazards are to be reduced, earth science information must be translated from scientific and technical language into a form that can be effectively used by planners and decisionmakers. Out of the need to use earth...

Magnetic effects of maghemitization of oceanic crust Magnetic effects of maghemitization of oceanic crust
Both theoretical considerations and available experimental results indicate that magnetic effects of maghemitization are strongly dependent on the grain size of the originally unoxidized titanomagnetite. Maghemitization of single‐domain titanomagnetite results in a decrease in coercivity, an increase in susceptibility, and a large decrease in Q ratio. Maghemitization of multidomain...

Geologic mapping of Kentucky: A history and evaluation of the Kentucky Geological Survey--U.S. Geological Survey Mapping Program, 1960-1978 Geologic mapping of Kentucky: A history and evaluation of the Kentucky Geological Survey--U.S. Geological Survey Mapping Program, 1960-1978
In 1960, the U.S. Geological Survey and the Kentucky Geological Survey began a program to map the State geologically at a scale of 1:24,000 and to publish the maps as 707 U.S. Geological Survey Geologic Quadrangle Maps. Fieldwork was completed by the spring of 1977, and all maps were published by December 1978. Geologic mapping of the State was proposed by the Kentucky Society of...
