Tectonic creep in the Hayward fault zone, California
Dorothy H. Radbruch-Hall, M. G. Bonilla
1966, Circular 525
Tectonic creep is slight apparently continuous movement along a fault. Evidence of creep has been noted at several places within the Hayward fault zone--a zone trending northwestward near the western front of the hills bordering the east side of San Francisco Bay. D. H. Radbruch of the Geological Survey and...

Hydrochemical facies and ground-water flow patterns in northern part of Atlantic Coastal Plain
William Back
1966, Professional Paper 498-A
The part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain that extends from New Jersey through Virginia was selected as a suitable field model in which to study the relationships between geology, hydrology, and chemical character of ground water. The ground-water flow pattern is the principal hydrologic control on the chemical character of...
Water resources in the Everglades
William J. Schneider
1966, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (32) 958-965
Aerial photography is playing an important role in the evaluation of the water resources of the almost-inaccessible 1,400 square miles of Everglades in southern Florida. Color, infrared, and panchromatic photographs show salient features that permit evaluation of the overall water resources picture. The fresh water-salt water interface, drainage...
Water and the Everglades
William J. Schneider
1966, Natural History (75) 32-41
This fundamental element, whether profuse or scarce, rules the life and character of Florida's great park. But water, like living space, is a resource that civilization demands in ever increasing quantities. Examined here are the economics of water use by Florida's east coast cities and its effects on Everglades ecology....
Ultraviolet investigations for lunar missions

1966, Advances in Astronautical Sciences (20) 397-415
Preliminary field tests of an active ultraviolet imaging system have shown that it is possible to produce linages of the terrain from distances as great as 75 feet by means of reflected ultraviolet light at wavelengths longer than 3300 A. Minerals that luminesce when exposed to ultraviolet energy have been...
Magnitude and frequency of Iowa floods, Part two
Harlan H. Schwob
1966, Iowa Highway Research Board Bulletin 28
Flood records for regular and partial-record gaging stations are contained in the following pages. Each listing contains the station number and name, descriptive paragraphs pertaining to the station, and a listing of the flood peaks available through the 1965 water year. Peaks above a base as well as annual peaks...

Floods of June 24-25, 1966 in southwest-central North Dakota
Orlo A. Crosby
1966, Report
A severe thunderstorm accompanied by much hail swept through southwest-central North Dakota on the afternoon of June 24. Rainfall of up to 13 inches caused floods higher than any previously known in the area. The isohyetal map (fig. 1) indicates the extent and magnitude of the storm. This map was...
Selected flow characteristics of streams in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon
C. H. Swift III
1966, Report
Flow-duration, annual low-flow, and annual high-flow tables through September 30, 1963, are given in this report for 110 stream-gaging stations in the Willamette and Sandy River basins. These tables summarize the basic data needed to define the streamflow characteristics at the gaging stations. The content of each of the three...
Jura tectonics as a décollement
W. G. Pierce
1966, Geological Society of America Bulletin (77) 1265-1276
For many years the structure of the Jura Mountains was interpreted as a décollement whose origin was related to the Alps; in recent years, however, this mode of origin has been questioned. Most of the alternative explanations recognize a décollement to some extent, but attribute it to movement of the...
Insecticide contaminations in wetland habitats and their effects on fish- eating birds
James O. Keith
1966, Journal of Applied Ecology (3) 71-85
An unusual mortality of fish-eating birds occurred at the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge in California between 1960 and 1962. Over 1100 dead birds of ten species were found during that period. Investigations of the mortality indicated that birds died as a result of their exposure to toxaphene, which was...
Field continuation and the step model in aeromagnetic interpretation
Roland G. Henderson
1966, Geophysical Prospecting (14) 528-546
Downward continuation of the field in the neighborhood of a singularity of a magnetic anomaly is used to render the anomaly more two‐dimensional, to make the bottom of the causal body more remote, and to obtain an auxiliary function, φ (O, z), by means of which the anomaly may be...

Tropical lakes, copropel, and oil shale
W.H. Bradley
1966, GSA Bulletin (77) 1333-1337
During a long-continued study of the lacustrine beds of the Eocene Green River Formation, I have tried to interpret past events from observation of present-day processes. After a search of some 40 years, four lakes have been found that are producing a kind of organic ooze judged to be a...
