The Landers earthquake, which had a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.3, was the largest earthquake to strike the contiguous United States in 40 years. This earthquake resulted from the rupture of five major and many minor right-lateral faults near the southern end of the eastern California shear zone, just north of the San Andreas fault. Its Mw 6.1 preshock and Mw 6.2 aftershock had their own aftershocks and foreshocks. Surficial geological observations are consistent with local and far-field seismologic observations of the earthquake. Large surficial offsets (as great as 6 meters) and a relatively short rupture length (85 kilometers) are consistent with seismological calculations of a high stress drop (200 bars), which is in turn consistent with an apparently long recurrence interval for these faults.

Assessment","docAbstract":"

In the 1989 National Oil and Gas Assessment prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Minerals Management Service, undiscovered oil and gas resources in small fields were assessed separately from resources in fields containing more than 1 million bbl of oil equivalent. This paper concerns the USGS Part of the study: onshore and state waters in the conterminous United States. After the resources in small fields were assessed by geologists, statistical techniques were used to allocate these resources to field-size distributions at the province level. The total numbers of small fields remaining to be discovered is estimated at about 77,800. They account for about 10.6 billion bbl of oil equivalent or 20% of the undiscovered resources in the conterminous United st tes. When an economic analysis was applied to the small fields, none of the offshore small fields were estimated to be commercially developable. For the onshore study area, about 52% of the small oil fields and 46% of the small gas fields are commercially developable. Overall, because more hydrocarbons are contained in the larger size classes of the small fields, about 70% of the undiscovered resources in small fields is expected to be commercially developable.

Between 1952 and 1984, low-level radioactive waste was introduced directly into the Snake River Plain aquifer at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL), Idaho Falls, Idaho. These wastes were generated, principally, at the nuclear fuel reprocessing facility on the site. Our measurements of 36C1 in monitoring and production well waters, downgradient from disposal wells and seepage ponds, found easily detectable, nonhazardous concentrations of this radionuclide from the point of injection to the INEL southern site boundary. Comparisons are made between 3H and 36Cl concentrations in aquifer water and the advantages of 36C1 as a tracer of subsurface-water dynamics at the site are discussed.

Two grahamite and three impsonite localities are within an 82-km-long segment of the Ouachita Mountains of southeastern Oklahoma. Grab samples were collected to study the petrographic and geochemical characteristics of the migrabitumen at the grahamite-impsonite transition and the relation of the migrabitumen to the regional thermal maturity pattern.

Maximum and random bitumen reflectance values increased from 0·75 to 1·80% from west to east, consistent with the regional thermal maturation trend. Mean bireflectance values increased from 0·04 to 0·38%. The two grahamite samples are classified at the grahamite-impsonite boundary with conflicting petrographic (bitumen reflectance) and bulk chemical (volatile matter) maturity indicators.

The regional maturation trend, based on vitrinite reflectance and bitumen reflectance values, was confirmed by a detailed geochemical investigation of bitumen extracts. Although biomarker analyses were influenced by extensive biodegradation effects, molecular parameters based on the phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes, and tricyclic terpanes were identified as useful maturity indicators.

In 1982, Glacier National Park (GNP) initiated long-term studies to document the fire history of all forested lands in the 410,000 ha. park. To date, studies have been conducted for GNP west of the Continental Divide (Barrett et al. 1991), roughly half of the total park area. These and other fire history studies in the Northern Rockies (Arno 1976, Sneck 1977, Arno 1980, Romme 1982, Romme and Despain 1989, Barrett and Arno 1991, Barrett 1993a, Barrett 1993b) have shown that fire history data can be an integral element of fire management planning, particularly wen natiral fire plans are being developed for parks and wilderness. The value of site specific fire history data is apparent when considering study results for lodgepole pin (Pinus contorta var. latifolia) forests. Lodgepole pine is a major subalpine type in the Northern Rockies and such stands experiences a wide range of presettlement fire patterns. On relatively warm-dry sites at lower elevations, such as in GNP's North Fork drainage (Barrett et al. 1991), short to moderately long interval (25-150 yr) fires occurred in a mixed severity pattern ranging from non-lethal underburns to total stand replacement (Arno 1976, Sneck 1977, Barrett and Arno 1991). Markedly different fire history occurred at high elevation lodgepole pine stands on highly unproductive sites, such as on Yellowstone National Park's (YNP) subalpine plateau. Romme (1982) found that, on some sites, stand replacing fires recurred after very long intervals (300-400 yr), and that non-lethal surface fires were rare. For somewhat more productive sites in the Absaroka Mountains in YNP, Barrett (1993a) estimated a 200 year mean replacement interval, in a pattern similar to that found in steep mountain terrain elsewhere, such as in the Middle Fork Flathead River drainage (Barrett et al. 1991, Sneck 1977).

Aside from post-1900 written records (ayres 1900; fire atlas data on file, GNP Archives Div. and GNP Resources Mgt. Div.), little fire history information existed for GNP's east-side forests, which are dominated primarily by lodgepole pine. In fall 1992, the park initiated a study to determine the fire history of the Missouri River drainage portion of southeastern GNP. Given the known variation in pre-1900 fire patterns for lodgepole pine, this study was seen as a potentially important contribution to GNP's Fire Management Plan, and to the expanding data base of fire history studies in the region. Resource managers sought this information to assist their development of appropriate fire management strategies for the east-side forests, and the fire history data also would be a useful interactive component of the park's Geographic Information System (GIS). Primary objectives were to: 1) determine pre-1900 fire periodicities, severities, burning patterns, and post-fire succession for major forest types, and 2) document and map the forest age class mosaic, reflecting the history of stand replacing fires at the landscape level of analysis. Secondary objectives were to interpret the possible effects of modern fire suppression on area forests, and to determine fire regime patterns relative to other lodgepole pine ecosystems in the Northern Rockies.

Much of northwestern Alaska remained unglaciated during the Pleistocene and thus offers a favorable setting for examining long-term records of high-latitude geological and biological change. Epiguruk, a large cut bank 3.5 km long and up to 36 m high on the Kobuk River south of the Brooks Range in eastern Beringia, exposes complex sedimentary successions representing cycles of upper Quaternary alluviation and eolian sedimentation, downcutting, and soil formation. A rich record of plants and mammals is also preserved in the section. Deposits of fluvial channels and flood plains, eolian dunes, sand sheets, loess, and ponds, as well as organic soils (Histosols) are represented. Parallel-bedded fine sand and coarse silt couplets that commonly contain root structures, ripple cross-lamination, and silt drapes are flood-plain sediments apparently deposited at the interface of fluvial and eolian environments. Multiple fluvial-to-eolian depositional sequences were caused by influx of eolian sediment to the river from intermittently active dune fields south of the Kobuk River. Alluviation in the Kobuk Valley was coeval with glaciation in the Brooks Range, whereas downcutting occurred during interstadials when dune stabilization limited sediment supply. The depositional model developed at Epiguruk may be useful in interpreting some of the widespread subhorizontally stratified late-glacial deposits of Europe and North America.

About 6,000 specific‐gravity (SG) measurements of samples collected from nearly 200 granitic plutons comprising the central Sierra Nevada batholith yield a SG contour map across the batholith from 36.25° to 38° north latitude. With notable exceptions, SG decreases from values generally greater than 2.7 in the west to less than 2.6 over a few small areas of high‐silica, high‐potassium granites near the east edge. A good correlation between measured SG and analyzed weight percent SiO2 enables estimation of average silica variations across the batholith. The average SG is 2.69 corresponding to an average of 68 wt. % SiO2 for the 18,000 km² central part of the batholith.

A 1‐km gridded version of the SG measurements has been used to generate a series of synthetic gravity maps, assuming that the SG of rocks at the surface extends unchanged to various depths. The synthetic map computed for a depth of 10 km shows the best correspondence with the isostatic residual gravity map indicating that variations in the observed gravity residuals are largely caused by SG variations of the plutonic rocks exposed at the surface that apparently extend downward to an average depth of about 10 km.

Although the 10‐km synthetic gravity map gives the best overall fit to the observed gravity data, comparison of individual anomalies indicates that the bottoms of the plutons as defined by SG variations at the surface are generally shallower along the west edge of the Sierra Nevada (7±2 km) and deeper in the younger and more felsic eastern part (12±3 km). These depths do not necessarily represent a distinct base of the Sierra Nevada batholith. They may indicate the depth below which density homogenization occurs, either by igneous, or possibly, structural processes.

Analyses of 36 trace, minor, and major elements were used to classify the sediments of 46 Minnesota lakes. Q-mode factor analyses grouped Minnesota lake sediments according to clastic-, carbonate-, organic-, and redox-related elements. Carbonate lakes occur in west-central Minnesota; their sediments have relatively high concentrations of CaCO3, Ba, and Sr. Lakes with sediments containing more than 30% organic matter occur in east-central and northeastern Minnesota; these sediments have high concentrations of organic C, N, and H, and slightly elevated concentrations of Pb. Only three lakes have sediments included in the “redox” group, with relatively high concentrations of Fe, Mn, Mo, La, and Zn. High concentrations of redox-sensitive elements appear to be associated with oxidized iron and manganese minerals, but in Elk Lake, one of the three lakes in this group, a significant amount of iron and manganese is contained in iron phosphate, iron sulfide, and manganese carbonate. Clastic lake sediments are not diluted by large amounts of organic matter, carbonate minerals, or iron-manganese minerals, and are of two types: a western group derived largely from Cretaceous shales in the prairie regions, and a northeastern group derived from Precambrian crystalline rocks in the forested arrowhead region. Western clastic lake sediments have higher concentrations of Al, Na, K, B, Ba, V, Mg, and Sr. Most northeastern clastic lake sediments contain higher concentrations of Cu, Y, Be, and Ni, but several are chemically more similar to those of western prairie lakes.

Integration of the results and interpretations of geochemical, paleoecological, and sedimentological analyses of a varved sediment record provides a detailed chronicle of limnological and climatic changes for the past 10 ka at Elk Lake, west-central Minnesota. The early Holocene record at Elk Lake was controlled by circumstances of glacial history (e.g., basin morphometry and surrounding till lithology) in combination with global warming at the end of the Pleistocene. Later, the interplay of climate change and a disintegrating ice sheet determined the character of local environments that were affected by reduction of precipitation and increased windiness during the middle Holocene. Elk Lake became more productive and clastic sediment increased to dominate the record as the forests thinned and prairie vegetation characterized the region. During this prairie period, winters may have been cold because disintegrating northern ice sheets ceased to block winter outbreaks of Arctic air. Correlations of wind-deposited materials throughout much of the eastern two-thirds of the United States suggest that drought conditions and strong winds were widespread between 8 and 4 ka. The mid-Holocene was climatically variable, however, with strong fluctuations in varve thickness at decadal, centennial, and millennial scales testifying to rapid climatic changes. Although the cause of such climatic cycles is not yet clear, correlations between 14C anomalies and varve thickness suggest that variations in solar flux and resulting magnetic storms and zonal winds may have induced strong climatic changes. A particularly strong 600 yr fluctuation to cool and wet climates that may document neoglacial conditions around 5 ka interrupted the prairie period. After 4 ka, the climate at Elk Lake was dominated by a tropical airstream during the summer, and dry arctic and Pacific airstreams during the winter. Large-scale variations ceased, although decadal and multi-decadal variations in varve thickness chronicle changes similar, but not clearly correlative, to historically documented climatic episodes such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age.

Elk Lake is near the present forest-prairie border in northwestern Minnesota, and is also located on the boundary between hard-water lakes that are typical of once-glaciated parts of the north-central United States and more saline prairie lakes of western Minnesota and the Dakotas. The sediments of the prairie lakes just west of Elk Lake are unusual in that they commonly contain high-Mg calcite and dolomite in addition to low-Mg calcite, which is the dominant carbonate mineral in most marl lakes. During the mid-Holocene dry period, prairie conditions expanded eastward into the forested regions of Minnesota. Variations in types and abundances of carbonate minerals in the Holocene sediments of Elk Lake recorded this climatic change.

Studies of primary productivity, carbonate saturation, water chemistry, and sediment-trap samples show that low-Mg calcite precipitates during the summer, triggered by algal photosynthesis. The epilimnion of Elk Lake is always oversaturated with calcite, and the degree of oversaturation increases progressively during the summer. The pH of the epilimnion increases from <8.0 after spring overturn to almost 9.0 in late summer in response to photosynthetic removal of CO2 during the summer months. The rate of calcium depletion from the epilimnion is proportional to the increase in pH and the rate of photosynthetic carbon fixation.

Today the only carbonate minerals that are accumulating in the sediments of Elk Lake are low-Mg calcite and manganese carbonate (rhodochrosite). Rhodochrosite, and probably manganese oxyhydroxide, precipitates when manganese-rich anoxic bottom waters come in contact with carbonate-rich oxic surface waters. During the arid mid-Holocene prairie period, however, low-Mg calcite, dolomite, aragonite, and rhodochrosite all accumulated in the sediments of Elk Lake. Dolomite formed in Elk Lake during this period in response to a higher Mg:Ca ratio in the water, just as it is forming today in lakes of the prairie regions of western Minnesota. The coincident occurrence of aragonite and biological indicators of high salinity suggests that the salinity of Elk Lake and the Mg:Ca ratio were higher than in any of the present prairie lakes of western Minnesota.

40Ar/39Ar age spectra of hornblende, muscovite, and microcline, and total fusion ages of biotite from metamorphic rocks of the Inner Piedmont, Pine Mountain, and Uchee belts are reported. Mineral cooling ages from the eastern part of the Inner Piedmont are as follows: hornblende, 320 Ma; muscovite, 296 Ma; biotite, 293 Ma; and microcline (diffusional release patterns) Tmax = 267 Ma, Tmin = 234 Ma. A 347 Ma hornblende spectrum from the highest Inner Piedmont structural level sampled is the oldest date determined and implies earlier passage of this level through the 500 °C isotherm. Most release spectra from Pine Mountain belt units are discordant with little or no apparent geologic meaning. Modified saddle-shaped release patterns for hornblende indicate extraneous argon with a maximum age of ∼358 Ma. Muscovite from the Pine Mountain belt cover sequence is 286 Ma (plateau age), and one from the underlying Grenville basement is 277 Ma (correlation age), indicating cooling below the 350 °C isotherm. Plateau ages on Uchee belt rocks are as follows: hornblende, from 297 to 288 Ma; muscovite, 285 Ma; biotite, 276 Ma; and microcline Tmax = 261 Ma, Tmin 230 Ma. Muscovite fish from a Bartletts Ferry fault zone phyllonite have a plateau age of 283 Ma.

The 40Ar/39Ar results combined with other geologic data indicate that (1) a large part of the southern and Inner Piedmonts of Alabama and southwest Georgia experienced a late Paleozoic amphibolite-facies thermal and deformational event contemporaneous with the Alleghanian orogeny observed in the foreland; (2) the tectonic development of this event, characterized by initial crustal thickening followed by right-slip and normal-slip movements, is grossly similar to that described for the amphibolite-facies Alleghanian belt in the eastern Piedmont of South Carolina and Georgia; and (3) extensional movements along the flanks of the Pine Mountain window occurred between ca. 277 Ma and the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic and thus may reflect latest Alleghanian extensional collapse or Mesozoic rifting.

A variety of extensional and contractional structures is produced by strike slip faulting. The variety and extent of the structures are directly related to the kind and extent of geometric complexities of the fault zone or system. The area of convergence of the San Andreas fault zone and the much younger San Jacinto fault zone in the eastern Transverse Ranges is exquisitely complex. We propose that the San Jacinto fault zone formed in response to a structural knot in San Gorgonio Pass probably within the past 1.5 Ma. In the area of their convergence we propose that slip is transferred both east and west from the San Jacinto fault zone northward to the San Andreas fault zone over a 60-to 70-km band that extends northwestward from the south end of the San Bernardino basin to the east end of the San Gabriel Mountains. We further propose several structural adjustments as a consequence of onset or acceleration of lateral movement on the San Jacinto fault zone: accelerated uplift of the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, development or accentuation of an arcuate schuppen-like structure in the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, inception of the San Bernardino basin, cessation of deposition in the present-day San Timoteo badlands area, inception of the San Jacinto basin, and an increase in compression and uplift in the San Gorgonio Pass area. We interpret the uplift and compression in San Gorgonio Pass to result from two formerly disparate structural blocks—the eastern San Bernardino and San Jacinto blocks—becoming a relatively coherent block, and the San Gorgonio Pass area constituting a left step between the San Andreas fault zone in the Coachella Valley area and the San Jacinto fault zone in the San Jacinto Valley area. The compression and uplift led to the formation of the San Gorgonio Pass thrust faults and disruption of any through-going San Andreas strands, at least at the surface.

In partitioning slip between the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault zones, consideration should be given to the bandwidth over which horizontal strain has accumulated. The average slip rate of the northern part of the San Jacinto fault zone during the past 1.5 m.y. may have been about 20 mm/yr and about 15 mm/yr on the San Andreas. South of the San Bernardino basin, current strain accumulation based on repeated geodetic surveys is nearly equally divided between the San Jacinto and San Andreas fault zones.

In addition, these methods are rapid and cost effective\nfor surveys involving a large number of measurements.\nSurveys of the landfill identified numerous magnetic and conductive anomalies\nindicating the presence of buried metallic objects. The vertical gradient and\nEM measurements indicate that several of the large total field anomalies are\nproduced by groups of smaller objects rather than by single, large buried\nsources.

These conductive features have no surface expression and apparently run\nthe length of the landfill. The EM data indicates these conductors are narrow\nand relatively shallow. One conductor is relatively magnetic, the other\nconductor has no magnetic signature suggesting a different composition.\nThe geophysical surveys determined that large areas of the landfill are\nrelatively free of buried metal due to the lack of observed magnetic or\nconductive anomalies. The geophysical data also suggests the landfill may be\nlarger than originally thought. Numerous magnetic and conductive responses were\nobserved beyond the eastern edge of the present landfill in an area thought to\nbe natural terrain.","largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings of the symposium on the application of geophysics to engineering and environmental problems: SAGEEP '93","conferenceTitle":"6th EEGS Symposium on the Application of Geophysics to Engineering and Environmental Problems","conferenceDate":"1993-04-18T00:00:00","conferenceLocation":"San Diego, CA","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","usgsCitation":"Horton, R., Busby, J.W., Powers, M.H., and Knoshaug, R.N., 1993, Landfill mapping using multi-disciplinary geophysical techniques at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, CO, p. 109-128.","productDescription":"p. 109-128","numberOfPages":"20","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":285146,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","city":"Colorado Springs","otherGeospatial":"U.S. Air Force Academy","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -104.898664,38.958696 ], [ -104.898664,39.023096 ], [ -104.833061,39.023096 ], [ -104.833061,38.958696 ], [ -104.898664,38.958696 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"535594a9e4b0120853e8c040","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Horton, Robert 0000-0001-5578-3733 rhorton@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5578-3733","contributorId":612,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Horton","given":"Robert","email":"rhorton@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":492148,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Busby, John W.","contributorId":85088,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Busby","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":492150,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Powers, Michael H. 0000-0002-4480-7856 mhpowers@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4480-7856","contributorId":851,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Powers","given":"Michael","email":"mhpowers@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[{"id":211,"text":"Crustal Geophysics and Geochemistry Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":492149,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Knoshaug, Ronald N.","contributorId":104812,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Knoshaug","given":"Ronald","email":"","middleInitial":"N.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":492151,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70135742,"text":"70135742 - 1993 - Temporal and spatial variation in habitat characteristics of Tilefish (Lopholatilus Chamaeleonticeps) off the east coast of Florida","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2017-10-04T13:58:26","indexId":"70135742","displayToPublicDate":"1993-01-01T11:00:00","publicationYear":"1993","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1106,"text":"Bulletin of Marine Science","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Temporal and spatial variation in habitat characteristics of Tilefish (Lopholatilus Chamaeleonticeps) off the east coast of Florida","docAbstract":"

The tilefish, Lopholatilus chamaeleonticeps, constructs burrows in carbonate sediments off the central east coast of Florida at similar temperatures (8.6-15.4°C) and in similar sediment textures (high proportion of silts and clays) to conspecifics in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. The depths at which we observed tile fish off Florida (150-290 m), based on submersible observations and sidescan sonar operations during 1983 and 1984, were similar to those recorded in 1975-1977 (137-266 m) before the inception of the directed fishery. Both are similar to the range observed in the Mid-Atlantic Bight although tilefish there can be found at shallower and slightly deeper depths (80-305 m). The largest burrows off Florida (1.5-m diameter) were smaller than those observed in the Mid-Atlantic Bight (up to 5 m). The behavior of tile fish around the burrow and the invertebrates and fishes co-inhabiting the burrows off Florida are nearly identical to those in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. Despite the relatively narrow annual temperature range observed off Florida, abrupt changes in temperatures (+6°C) occurred over a 48-h period based on thermograph records. Our observations, and those of others from several areas along the U.S. east coast, suggest that this species probably constructs burrows throughout its geographic range, and that temperature and sediment composition largely determine its distribution. Exclusion experiments off Florida, along with prior removal experiments in the Mid-Atlantic Bight, indicate that tilefish construct and maintain the burrows.

This bibliography is the result of two initially independent projects. As the consulting archaeologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Charlie R. Steen collected entries at the suggestion of the staff of the Environmental Surveillance Group of the Health, Safety, and Environmental Division, HSE-8. The primary purpose was to aid the staff in evaluating cultural resources on LANL lands. In addition to works that related to the archaeology and history of the area, Steen included notations of a few books and articles in other fields such as geology and natural history. It was hoped that they also would be of value to other organizations and to students of past human activities on the Pajarito Plateau.

At the same time, the National Park Service (NPS) was planning a major survey of Bandelier National Monument (BNM). As part of this plan, the author was asked to prepare a background document that described research previously carried out in the area, including an annotated bibliography. Although the survey would be limited to the park boundaries, the larger Pajarito Plateau is a more logical study area from physiographic, environmental, and cultural perspectives; hence the focus was on this larger region. Mathien (1986) also included some references to natural resources studies, particularly those initiated by NPS within Bandelier National Monument.

Both bibliographies were made available to Colleen Olinger and Beverly Larson of the Health and Environmental Services Group at Los Alamos. They realized that while neither was complete, each included entries missing from the other. Larson suggested the two bibliographies be combined. (At this time, Craig Allen was studying the landscape of the Jemez Mountains [Allen 1984c, 1989]. His investigations included much detailed information on natural resource studies and were added in 1991 and 1992.)

To limit the scope of their work, Steen and Mathien had chosen their parameter: the Pajarito Plateau. Geographically, the Pajarito Plateau is described as the high tableland that lies between the Jemez Mountains on the west and the Rio Grande on the east. From north to south, it extends from the Chama Valley to La Cañada de Cochiti (Hewett 1906:14)(Figure 1). Because human activity rarely stops at such definite boundaries, major ethnographic studies of Tewa (San Ildefonso and Santa Clara) and Keres (Cochiti) linguistic groups are included. (Even though most of the historic pueblos occupied by the Tewa and Keres are not located on the Pajarito Plateau, oral traditions and archaeological data suggest that these groups once occupied sites on the plateau.) Towa studies are not included because Steen believed Towa ancestors were not involved in major cultural developments of the Pajarito Plateau. In addition, a bibliography of the Jemez area (home of Towa people) has been prepared by Michael Elliott (1982) and included with his nomination of large Pueblo sites near Jemez Springs to the National Register of Historic Places that is on file at the Museum of New Mexico, Laboratory of Anthropology, in Santa Fe. Both Steen and Mathien included references to geographically and historically related material that does not focus on the Pajarito Plateau but, nonetheless, is important to understanding the area's archaeology and physical environment, for example, lithic resources available from Cerro Pedernal or in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.

It is generally accepted that the San Andreas fault formed between 4 and 5 Ma and that rocks west of it are now part of the Pacific plate, moving northwest relative to North America at 5 to 6 cm/yr. This model is inconsistent with the geologic record in the central Transverse Ranges.

Right-lateral shear began in the vicinity of the San Andreas fault system in early Miocene time. The San Andreas fault system in the central Transverse Ranges has since evolved through three major phases; this development has led to a generally simpler, more throughgoing main trace. Slip rates on the San Andreas system were about 1 cm/yr in the Miocene, increasing to their current level of 3.5 cm/yr between 4 and 5 Ma. The modern San Andreas fault still only accounts for just over half the current relative plate rate and retains kinematic complexities inherited from its earliest geometry.

The Early San Andreas transform system originated during early Miocene time in one of three transtensive zones that lay interior to the continent and east of the locus of transform motion between the Pacific and North American plates. The current three-fold division of motion in the plate boundary between the San Andreas fault, a coastal system, and an eastern California system dates to this time, as does the “anomalous” trend of the San Andreas fault through the Transverse Ranges. Basins and volcanic centers associated with this transtensive zone became dismembered as faults became integrated into a throughgoing system. Early motion led to juxtaposition of different rocks across faults now recognized as part of the Early San Andreas transform system, and to the development of sedimentary provincialism associated with uplift along the fault zone. Middle Miocene basins, including the Caliente, Cajon, Crowder, and Santa Ana basins that had previously received most of their sediments from sources far to the east, began to reflect local Transverse Ranges provenance. At least 100 km of slip is associated with the Early San Andreas transform system during early and middle Miocene time.

Slip across the geometrically complex late Miocene San Gabriel transform system—which includes the San Gabriel, Cajon Valley, and early Punchbowl faults—produced uplift in the proto-Transverse Ranges at a postulated restraining bend in the fault system. Compressional structures associated with this restraining bend include the Squaw Peak and Liebre Mountain thrusts, related east-striking late Miocene reverse faults and folds, and, perhaps, northeast-striking left-lateral faults in the San Gabriel Mountains. Narrow fault-controlled basins formed during this period, including the Ridge basin, Devil’s Punchbowl basin, Mill Creek basin, and part of the Santa Ana Sandstone basin. Offset of structures and relief associated with the proto-Transverse Ranges provides the best evidence for late Miocene restorations of the modern San Andreas fault. As much as 60 km of offset is associated with the late Miocene San Gabriel transform system.

Between 4 and 5 Ma, the modern San Andreas fault became the dominant member of the plate boundary system, cutting through the proto-Transverse Ranges and connecting more northerly striking traces to the north and south. The slip rate across the San Andreas fault system accelerated from 1 cm/yr to its current slip rate of 3.5 cm/yr prior to 4 Ma. The Pliocene rocks in the central Transverse Ranges do not contain evidence for relief as great as that of late Miocene or Quaternary time. The Pliocene trace of the modern San Andreas fault may have temporarily “solved” the geometric problem that led to late Miocene uplift. About 90 km of right-lateral displacement occurred on the modern San Andreas fault during Pliocene time.

During Quaternary time new regions of localized vertical deformation developed in the Transverse Ranges, apparently as the result of new geometric problems within the Pliocene solution to the restraining geometry of the fault system. Left-lateral motion on east-striking faults, probably due to a northward increase in Basin and Range extension, kinked the San Andreas fault at both ends of the Transverse Ranges, producing regions of extreme shortening and uplift. The development of young right-lateral faults through the Peninsular Ranges, including the San Jacinto and Elsinore faults, also contributed to renewed uplift in the Transverse Ranges. Sixty kilometers of right-lateral slip occurred across the San Andreas fault zone during Quaternary time.

This chapter presents a synthesis of data pertaining to post-early Miocene slip on the San Andreas fault in central California and suggests a three-phase evolition of the San Andreas system. The cricial evidence that supports the three phases of evolution conies from the reversed positions of two exotic rock fragments in the vicinity of Parkfield, California. The three-phase evolution of the San Andreas is also supported by the correlation of other exotic fragments, the basement rocks on which they lie, overlying Tertiary stratigraphic sequences, and distinctive Miocene strata derived from these fragments during their transport along the fault.

The 40-km-long section of the San Andreas fault near Parkfield is characterized by exotic blocks composed of Cretaceous hornblende quartz gabbro at Gold Hill and lower Miocene volcanic rocks in Lang Canyon. The gabbro is correlated petrographically with similar rocks near Eagle Rest Peak, 145 km to the southeast, and near Logan, 165 km to the northwest. The lower Miocene volcanic rocks, informally termed the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon, are correlated with the Neenach Volcanics 220 km to the southeast and the Pinnacles Volcanics 95 km to the northwest. All three fragments of volcanic rocks are unconformably overlain by similar successions of Tertiary sedimentary rocks.

The original positions of the bodies of gabbro and volcanic bodies and their overlying sedimentary cover may be reconstructed from these exotic fragments that now lie along the San Andreas fault between San Juan Bautista and the northwestern Mojave Desert. The original undeformed gabbroic body was composed of the hornblende quartz gabbro of Eagle Rest Peak, Gold Hill, and Logan. In its initial prefaulted position, the original gabbroic body lay about 55 km northwest of the early Miocene volcanic assemblage. The undeformed volcanic assemblage was composed of the Neenach Volcanics, Pinnacles Volcanics, and volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon. The original spatial relationship between the undeformed gabbro and volcanic assemblage and their sedimentary cover is preserved in the present position of the gabbro of Logan and the Pinnacles Volcanics. However, in the Parkfield segment of the San Andreas, the gabbro of Gold Hill lies east of the main trace of the San Andreas fault, and the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon lie 2 km west of the fault. The reversed relative positions of the gabbro of Gold Hill and the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon suggest a complex history of movement on the San Andreas fault.

Consequently, plainspastic reconstruction of these bodies and their overlying sedimentary cover is constrained by the unusual distribution of exotic blocks near Parkfield. The resulting proposed history of movement is divided into three stages that begins with the eruption of the early Miocene volcanic rocks about 24 Ma. The Neenach-Pinnacles Volcanics, erupted after passage of the Mendocino triple junction, were soon cut by the growing San Andreas transform system.

During the first phase of movement the Salinian block, which contains the Pinnacles and Logan godies, was detached from the Mojave and Sierran blocks. The Pinnacles and Logan bodies were transported about 95 km northwest from the Neenach Volcanics and the gabbro of Eagle Rest Peak. At the end of the first phase, the Logan and Pinnacles fragments lay adjacent to the west side of what is now the San Joaquin Valley. Concurrently, fan-deltas deposited debris that was derived from the Gabilan Range, the fan-deltas spread across the San Andreas fault into the middle Miocene sea in the San Joaquin trough.

During the second phase of movement, the San Andreas—at least locally—stepped eastward and detached a second fragment from the Neenach Volcanics. This fragment consists of the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon. Slip was transferred to the new trace of the San Andreas fault, and the older trace became completely or largely inactive. After transferral of slip to the new trace of the San Andreas fault, the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon and the Pinnacles Volcanics remained about 95 km apart on the Salinian Block west of the San Andreas fault.

During the third phase, the Gold Hill fragement was slivered off the Logan fragment and was tectonically emplaced on the east side of the San Andreas fault when the Logan fragment lay at the latitude of Gold Hill. The process of slivering off of the Gold Hill fragment was accomplished by deformation of the San Andreas in an eastward bend along what is now the Jack Ranch fault. Bending of the fault was stimulated by the presence of highly sheared Franciscan rocks that crop out near the San Andreas and extend to great depth. Eventually the San Andreas bent to such a degree that slip could not be conducted around the bend, and a new, stable, straight segment was formed. The straightening of the fault resulted in slivering of the Gold Hill fragment from the Logan fragment.

After detachment of the Gold Hill fragment, the Salinian block containing the gabbro of Logan, the Pinnacles Volcanics, and the volcanic rocks of Lang Canyon was transported an additional 160 km northwest to its present position. This reconstruction honors the current positions of all the related exotic fragments of gabbro, volcanics, and sedimentary rocks. The timing of the sequence of movements required to reconstruct the original bodies suggests that the three phases of evolution of the San Andreas fault in central California are characterized by increasing slip rates. The rate for the first phase probably averaged about 10 mm/yr over a period of about 8 m.y. The rate for the second phase averaged about 8 mm/yr over a period of about 7 m.y. The rate rate for the third phase averaged about 33 mm/yr over a period of about 5 m.y.

The geologic strip-map for Transect E-l cuts a swath from the Thousand Islands region on the New York-Ontario border to the Atlantic Ocean floor off Georges Bank (see Fig. 1). It includes portions of New York, Ontario and of all of the New England states. The western part, mainly in New York, belongs to the North American craton. The remainder of the onland portion, east of Logan's Line, belongs to the Appalachian Orogen.

Southeastward from Logan's Line the transect crosses a series of distinctive terranes. Several of these terranes are believed to be exotic, and to have been accreted to the North American craton during the Paleozoic. Superposed on these are several grabens and half-grabens containing early Mesozoic sediments and mafic volcanics. There are also Mesozoic eruptive complexes of an alkalic nature cutting across the Appalachian Orogen from southern Quebec, across New England, and continuing as a chain of seamounts offshore. Cenozoic rocks are limited to a small, but significant occurrence near Brandon, Vermont (BL on Fig. 2) and a few occurrences in the Cape Cod region and on the adjacent islands in southeastern Massachusetts.

Spatial genetic structure in populations of mosquitofish (Gambusia) sampled throughout the south-eastern United States was characterized using mitochondrial (mt) DNA and allozyme markers. Both sets of data revealed a pronounced genetic discontinuity (along a broad path extending from south-eastern Mississippi to north-eastern Georgia) that corresponds to a recently recognized distinction between the nominal forms G. affinis to the west and G. holbrookito the east. However, several populations from the general contact region exhibited unusual allelic associations in high frequency, suggestive of evolutionary processes within a zone of introgressive hybridization. These involve: (i) cytonuclear profiles representing combinations of nuclear and mitochondrial genotypes that tended to be more nearly species-specific and concordant elsewhere; and (ii) significant nuclear gametic disequilibria, perhaps attributable to positive assortative mating and/or differential fitnesses of homospecific vs. recombinant genotypes. However, outside this suspected hybrid region, ‘heterospecific’ genetic markers also appeared in low frequency, thus complicating interpretations. These discordant alleles on a broader geographic scale may reflect: (a) the retention of polymorphisms from an ancestral gene pool; (b) occasional evolutionary convergence (especially with respect to electrophoretic mobility of allozyme alleles); (c) the ‘footprints’ of a moving hybrid zone; or (d) differential introgressive penetrance across the current hybrid region.

Plutonic rocks have been intersected by two separate drill holes on southeastern Cape Cod. Hole CC2 is located at Chatham Harbor about 7 km south of the Nauset anomaly, an east-northeast-trending magnetic lineament that was considered to separate the distinct plutonic zones of Avalon terrane. This drill hole intersected weakly foliated, fairly homogeneous biotite granite. Zircons from this granite give a U-Pb age of 584+9/-8 Ma. Hole CC1 is located near North Eastham, about 12 km north of the Nauset anomaly. The drill core intersected foliated, sheared, biotite granodiorite and biotite-hornblende-clinopyroxene-quartz gabbro, metamorphosed to greenschist facies. The deformed and altered state of these rocks, as well as their geochemistry, suggest that their origin and possibly their ages are distinct from the granite in hole CC2. No datable zircons were obtained from rocks in CC1. The age of 584 Ma for the CC2 granite sample is within the range of published ages for plutonic rocks of the Avalon terrane and confirms the suggestion of Hutchinson et al. (1988) that the southern plutonic zone is a part of the Avalon terrane. The data also indicate that the Nauset anomaly is not the Avalon-Meguma terrane boundary in this area.

Photographs of the seabed taken from an instrumented bottom tripod located approximately 100 km east of Charleston, South Carolina, reveal bed elevation changes of over 20 cm between July and November 1978. The tripod was in 85 m of water and was equipped with two current meters at 38.7 and 100 cm from the bed, a pressure sensor, a transmissometer, which fouled early during the deployment, a temperature sensor and a camera. The sediment under the tripod was composed of poorly sorted sand, some shell debris and numerous small biological tubes. Bed roughness varied throughout the deployment from biologically-produced mounds (2-5 cm high and 5-20 cm diameter) to streaks to a smooth bed, depending upon the frequency and magnitude of the sediment transporting events. Even though these events were common, especially during the later part of the deployment, the bed was rarely rippled, and there was no evidence of large bedforms such as dunes or sand waves migrating through the field of view of the camera. Photographs did clearly show, however, a gradual net deposition of the bed of nearly 20 cm, followed by erosion of approximately 5 cm. The flow field near the bed was dominated by sub-tidal period currents. Hourly-averaged currents at 100 cm from the bed typically varied between 10 and 30 cm s-1 and occasionally were as high as 60 cm s-1. The large flow events were predominantly toward the southwest along the shelf in the opposite direction of the northeast flowing Gulf Stream. The cross-shore component of the flow near the bed was predominantly directed offshore due to a local topographic steering effect. Current, temperature and satellite data suggest that the largest flow events were associated with the advection of Gulf Stream filaments past the tripod. Erosion events, as seen from the photographs, were highly correlated with the passage of these Gulf Stream filaments past the tripod. Gradual deposition of sediment, which occurred during the first half of the deployment, appears to have been associated with the convergence of the near-bed sediment flux near the shelf break.

West Virginia is the only place in the United States where an entire section of Pennsylvanian age (Upper Carboniferous) strata can be seen. These strata occur within a wedge of rock that thins to the north and west from the southeastern part of the State. The progressive north-northwesterly termination of older Pennsylvanian geologic units beneath younger ones prominently outlines the center of the Appalachian basin of West Virginia. Over most of West Virginia, Lower and/or Middle Pennsylvanian strata unconformably overly Upper Mississippian (Lower Carboniferous) strata. Sediment deposition was accomplished by a complex system of deltas prograding north and west from an eastern and southeastern source area.

More than 100 named coal beds occur within the Lower, Middle, and Upper Pennsylvanian rocks of West Virginia and at least 60 of these have been or are currently being mined commercially. Collectively, these coal beds account for original in-ground coal resources of almost 106.1×109 t (117×109 tons). West Virginia ranks fourth in the United States in demonstrated coal reserves. In 1988, West Virginia produced 131.4×106 t (144.9×106 T) of coal, third highest in the United States. Of this annual production, 75% was from underground mines. In 1988, West Virginia led the nation in the number of longwall mining sections currently in place. West Virginia's low-volatile coal beds are known worldwide as important metallurgical-grade coals, while the higher-volatile coal beds are utilized primarily for steam production.

This report is one in a series of reports prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey, beginning in 1937, on the ground-water resources in the Houston district. The Houston district includes Harris and Galveston Counties, and parts of Brazoria, Fort Bend, Waller, Montgomery, Liberty, and Chambers Counties. The primary emphasis of this report includes ground-water resources information for the district from 1985-89. Some data collected before 1985 and in early 1990 are included to present long-term trends and relations.

\n

Ground-water withdrawal in the Houston district decreased from 451 to 419 Mgal/d (million gallons per day) between 1985 and 1989. Public supply used 77 percent of the ground water withdrawn in the district in 1985. From 1985 through 1989, withdrawals for public supply decreased from 349 to 338 Mgal/d, withdrawals for industrial use decreased from 37 to 32 Mgal/d, and withdrawals for irrigation use decreased from 65 to 49 Mgal/d.

\n

From 1985 through 1989, ground-water withdrawals decreased from about 197.9 Mgal/d to about 166.9 Mgal/d in the Houston area and increased from about 179.5 Mgal/d to about 180.8 Mgal/d in the Katy area, and remained constant at about 67 Mgal/d in the rest of Harris County. Galveston County ground-water withdrawal decreased from about 6.1 to 4.0 Mgal/d during 1985-89.

\n

During 1977-90, water levels in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer in the eastern part of the Houston district rose as much as 160 ft (feet) and declined as much as 80 ft in the western part. During 1985-90, water levels in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer in the western part of the Houston district rose as much as 140 ft, and declined as much as 40 ft in the western part.

\n

During 1977-90, water levels in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer in the southeastern part of the Houston district rose as much as 140 ft and declined as much as 200 ft in the northwestern part. During 1985-90, water levels in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer in the eastern part of the Houston district rose as much as 40 ft, and declined as much as 140 ft in the northern part.

\n

Dissolved-chloride concentrations in water from wells in the Houston district have not changed more than 100 mg/L during 1985-89, except for a decrease at one well in the eastern part of Galveston County. Well KH-65-48-316 yielded water with dissolved-chloride concentration decreasing from 720 mg/L in 1986 to 590 mg/L in 1989.

The Baid al Jimalah tungsten deposit in Saudi Arabia (lat 25 degrees 09'N, long 42 degrees 41'E) consists predominantly of swarms of steeply dipping, subparallel, tungsten-bearing quartz veins and of less abundant, smaller stockwork veins. It is spatially, temporally, and genetically associated with a 569 Ma, highly differentiated, porphyritic, two-feldspar granite that intrudes Late Proterozoic immature sandstones.Paragenetic data from crosscutting veins demonstrate unambiguously a single cycle of magma intrusion and hydrothermal mineralization. Hypogene mineralization can be divided into three periods: (1) early quartz-molybdenite stockwork veining, (2) wolframite- and scheelite-bearing, greisen-bordered veining, and (3) late, quartz-carbonate-fluorite veining. The first two of these three periods can be further divided into several stages that are transitional to each other. The greisen-bordered veins, in particular, show replacement of earlier mineral assemblages by later ones. Precious and base metal veins at Baid al Jimalah East, approximately 1.5 km east of the Baid al Jimalah tungsten deposit, are genetically related to the tungsten deposit and probably formed contemporaneously with the greisenized tungsten-bearing veins.Fluid inclusion and oxygen isotope data indicate that the Baid al Jimalah deposit formed over a temperature range of 120 degrees to 550 degrees C, from low salinity magmatic and metamorphic fluids, and at a depth of about 4.2 km. Early stockwork veins (period 1) formed at low magmatic temperatures (ca. 550 degrees C) from magma-derived (delta 18 O = 9.6-9.7ppm), low-salinity (1-2 wt % NaCl equiv) fluid. This hydrothermal fluid was generally low density and CO 2 rich. All other veins were formed from regionally derived fluid in equilibrium with metamorphic rocks (delta 18 O = 7.9 + or - 1.0ppm at the site of deposition). This fluid probably scavenged most of the period 2 ore-mineral components from a postulated granite batholith whose existence is indicated by a 6-mGal gravity low centered on the deposit. The greisen-bordered tungsten veins (period 2) formed from fluids in the liquid state at temperatures mostly between 380 degrees and 440 degrees C with salinities between 4.5 and 10.9 wt percent NaCl equiv. Late, barren veins (period 3) formed from liquids with salinities between 0.0 and 3.5 wt percent NaCl equiv at temperatures as low as 120 degrees C. The veins at Baid al Jimalah East formed from liquids with salinities between 0 and 4.2 wt percent NaCl equiv at temperatures mostly between about 340 degrees and 390 degrees C. Important volatile constituents in some hydrothermal fluids were CO 2 and CH 4 , in addition to H 2 O and HF. The delta 18 O data on mineral separates of fresh and altered Bald al Jimalah granite, and whole-rock delta 18 O data on country-rock samples as far as 16 km from the deposit, indicate that the rocks in the Bald al Jimalah area were pervasively infiltrated by a fluid with relatively high delta 18 O values. Interaction and exchange of the country rocks with this delta 18 O fluid led to an increase in the delta 18 O values of volcanic rocks of the Jurdhawiyah Group but to a decrease in the delta 18 O values of the high value delta 18 O Murdama Group sandstones, resulting in a hydrothermal anomaly exceeding 100 km 2 in area. This fluid had an estimated delta 18 O value of about 6 to 8 per mil, essentially identical to that of the metamorphic water calculated from the vein quartz, thus strongly supporting the conclusion that all of the mineral deposits at Baid al Jimalah (except for the early-stage quartz-molybdenite veins), as well as the 12-km 2 geochemical anomaly surrounding the deposit, were from the same metamorphic fluid.Bald al Jimalah is similar in character and origin to Phanerozoic tungsten-tin greisen deposits throughout the world, especially the Hemerdon deposit in Devon, England. It is also analogous to Climax-type molybdenum deposits, which contain virtually identical mineral assemblages, but with the relative proportions of molybdenum and tungsten mineralization reversed, primarily owing to differences in oxygen fugacity. This similarity in mineralization styles and fluid histories indicates that metallogenic processes in granite-related deposits in the late Precambrian were similar to those seen in the Phanerozoic.
