This publication is a history of the prominent earthquakes in the United States from historical times through 1970. It supersedes all previous editions with the same or similar titles (see page ii) and, in addition to updating earthquake listings through 1970, contains several additions and corrections to previous issues. It...
Massive sulfide deposits of the Southern Appalachians central Virginia volcanic-plutonic belt as a host for massive sulfide deposits
L. Avlides, J. E. Gair, S.L. Cranford
1982, Economic Geology (77) 233-272
Strata-bound massive sulfide deposits of the central Virginia Piedmont occur in a volcanic- plutonic belt composed of Lower Cambrian(?) metamorphosed volcanic rocks and locally of pre-Upper Ordovician, low potassium granitoid rocks. The belt, interpreted as an ancient island arc, begins about 50 km south of Washington, D. C, and extends...

On Lagrangian residual currents with applications in south San Francisco Bay, California
Ralph T. Cheng, Vincenzo Casulli
1982, Water Resources Research (18) 1652-1662
The Lagrangian residual circulation has often been introduced as the sum of the Eulerian residual circulation and the Stokes' drift. Unfortunately, this definition of the Lagrangian residual circulation is conceptually incorrect because both the Eulerian residual circulation and the Stokes' drift are Eulerian variables. In this paper a...
Does the benthos control phytoplankton biomass in South San Francisco Bay?
James E. Cloern
1982, Marine Ecology Progress Series (9) 191-202
South San Francisco Bay, USA, is a shallow coastal embayment that receives large inputs of nutrients (N. P, Si) and small local inputs of freshwater. Phytoplankton dynamics are typically characterized by a spring bloom when surface chlorophyll a increases from < 5 to > 40 mg m-3. The bloom persists...

Some observations on the ecology and fish management of reservoirs in the United States
N. G. Benson
1982, Canadian Water Resources Journal (7) 2-25
By 1980 there were 1,608 reservoirs (over 202 ha each) with a surface area of 4 million ha in the United States. Construction of new reservoirs has decreased in recent years because of the lack of suitable sites and the opposition of environmental interests. Reservoirs have characteristics of both lacustrine...

Biostratigraphy and paleoecology of lower Paleozoic, upper Cretaceous, and lower Tertiary rocks in U.S. Geological Survey New Madrid test wells, Southeastern Missouri

1982, Tulane Studies in Geology and Paleontology (17) 23-45
The paleontology and biostratigraphy of Tertiary, Cretaceous, and Paleozoic rocks in the upper Mississippi embayment are incompletely known because marine fossils are only locally present in these rocks. This study concerns material from two U.S. Geological Survey test wells drilled in New Madrid County, southeastern Missouri, as part of earthquake...

Northern East Pacific Rise: Magnetic anomaly and bathymetric framework
Kim D. Klitgord, Jacqueline Mammerickx
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 6725-6750
The oceanic crust in the eastern Pacific between 7°N and 30°N and east of 127°W contains a fairly complete history of the spreading centers associated with the East Pacific Rise since 25 m.y. B.P. (late Oligocene). In this paper, we have summarized the seafloor spreading magnetic-anomaly data and the bathymetric...

Terranes and suture zones in east central Alaska
M. Churkin Jr., H.L. Foster, R. M. Chapman, F. R. Weber
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 3718-3730
East central Alaska, with its 17 terranes, forms a part of the mosaic of allochthonous terranes that join the North American and Siberian plates. These terranes range from continental and continental margin, such as the Tatonduk with its thick well-bedded succession of marine shelf rocks, to seamount, arc, and ocean...
Recent trends in the west Greenland salmon fishery, and implications for Thick-billed Murres
John F. Piatt, David G. Reddin
1982, Conference Paper, Marine birds: Their feeding ecology and commercial fisheries relationships
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a high net-mortality of seabirds, particularly Thick-billed Murres (Uria lomvia), was associated with the west Greenland salmon fishery. Since 1972, the domestic fishery has been controlled by quotas and fishery opening dates and non-Greenlandic offshore drift-net fishery was phased out in 1975. These...
Source parameters of the 1980 Mammoth Lakes, California, earthquake sequence
Ralph J. Archuleta, Edward Cranswick, Charles Mueller, Paul Spudich
1982, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (87) 4595-4607
From the more than 1500 Mammoth Lakes earthquakes recorded on three-component digital seismographs (Spudich et al., 1981), 150 were used in an analysis of the locations, mechanism, and source parameters. A composite fault plane solution of nine earthquakes 3.9 ≤ M ≤ 5.1 defines a right-lateral strike slip mechanism on...
