Neogene contraction between the San Andreas fault and the Santa Clara Valley, San Francisco Bay region, California Neogene contraction between the San Andreas fault and the Santa Clara Valley, San Francisco Bay region, California
In the southern San Francisco Bay region of California, oblique dextral reverse faults that verge northeastward from the San Andreas fault experienced triggered slip during the 1989 M7.1 Loma Prieta earthquake. The role of these range-front thrusts in the evolution of the San Andreas fault system and the future seismic hazard that they may pose to the urban Santa Clara Valley are poorly...

Environmental issues associated with fossil fuel resources; an evaluation of research opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's Energy Resources Program Environmental issues associated with fossil fuel resources; an evaluation of research opportunities for the U.S. Geological Survey's Energy Resources Program
Fossil fuel consumption in the United States has nearly tripled within the last 50 years (fig. 1), and is expected to continue increasing. As our knowledge and awareness of environmental consequences related to fossil fuel extraction and use grow, we as a nation, face the challenge of balancing our energy requirements with a desire for environmentally cleaner fuel. To help meet this...

Field trip road log—geology and tectonics of the Gualala block Field trip road log—geology and tectonics of the Gualala block
The Pacific Section, S.E.P.M. 1998 Fall Field Trip will traverse rocks of the Gualala block of northern California. Seven stops (Figure 1) will be made in one and a half days and will examine a variety of geologic features and rock types in this significant area. The field trip is an outgrowth of a symposium held at the 1998 Annual Meeting of the Pacific Section, S.E.P.M. in Ventura...
