1976, Report
The U.S. Soil Conservation Service is actively engaged in the implementation of flood- and soil-erosion reducing measures in Texas under the authority of "The Flood Control Act of 1936 and 1944" and "Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act" (Public Law 566), as amended. The Soil Conservation Service has found that...

Hydrology of the North Cascades region, Washington: 2. A proposed hydrometeorological streamflow prediction method
Wendell V. Tangborn, Lowell A. Rasmussen
1976, Water Resources Research (12) 203-216
On the basis of a linear relationship between winter (October-April) precipitation and annual runoff from a drainage basin (Rasmussen and Tangborn, 1976) a physically reasonable model for predicting summer (May-September) streamflow from drainages in the North Cascades region was developed. This hydrometeorological prediction method relates streamflow for a season beginning...

Monitoring Mount Baker Volcano
S. D. Malone, D. Frank
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 21-25
Hisotrically active volcanoes in the conterminous United States are restricted to the Cascade Range and extend to the Cascade Range and extend from Mount Baker near the Canadian border to Lassen Peak in northern California. Since 1800 A.D, most eruptive activity has been on a relatively small scale and has...

Is there a periodicity in the occurrence of earthquakes?
R.N. Hunter
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 4-7
Various periodicities have been suspected in earthquake activity, but none has yet been proved. In his classic text on seismology, K.E Bullen remarked that small but discernable "trigger" forces, such as tidal effects, temperature changes or barometric changes, have been thought to act as "last straw" phenomena when the earthquake...
Earthquake prediction; fact and fallacy
R.N. Hunter
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 24-27
Earthquake prediction is a young and growing area in the field of seismology. Only a few years ago, experts in seismology were declaring flatly that it was impossible. Now, some successes have been achieved and more are expected. Within a few years, earthquakes may be predicted as routinely as the...
Geologic mapping and earthquakes in southeastern Idaho
L.B. Platt
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 8-12
On April 14, 1973, a magnitude 4.75 earthquake occurred in Oneida County, Idaho. The intensity of ground motion was too slight to cause damage, and local interest in this event was so slight that it was not even noted in the weekly newspaper, the Idaho Enterprise, published in Malad City, the...
Earthquake at 40 feet
G. J. Miller
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 24-25
The earthquake that struck the island of Guam on November 1, 1975, at 11:17 a.m had many unique aspects-not the least of which was the experience of an earthquake of 6.25 Richter magnitude while at 40 feet. My wife Bonnie, a fellow diver, Greg Guzman, and I were diving at...
The San Francisco cow; did she or didn’t she?
M. Hill
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 19-23
No one has suggested that Mr. Shafter's nameless cow was the cause of the 1906 earthquake, but she has been the source of as persistent a rumor as Mrs. Murphy's Chicago cow. Since 1906, "the cow that fell in the crack" has been a favorite subject of humorous speculation. large...
Earthquake watch
M. Hill
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 10-11
When the time comes that earthquakes can be predicted accurately, what shall we do with the knowledge? This was the theme of a November 1975 conference on earthquake warning and response held in San Francisco called by Assistant Secretary of the Interior Jack W. Carlson. Invited were officials of State...

A revised “earthquake report” questionnaire

1976, Seismological Research Letters (8) 18-22
The revised “Earthquake Report” questionnaire introduced here is designed to restrict the replies on the effects of earthquakes as closely as possible to a set of effects that can be evaluated by use of a computer program. Differences in intensity resulting from evaluation by different individuals using their own qualitative...

Tragedy at Kilauea
D. A. Swanson, R.L. Christiansen
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 12-17
The following article is a reconstruction of events surrounding the deaths of a party of Hawaiian warriors in 1790 on Kilauea Volcano. It suggests that they were killed by a very hot, ash-free, base-surge cloud that rushed from the volcano. Much more recently than that, in the early morning hours of...
How did the 1906 San Francisco earthquake occur?
W. Thatcher
1976, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (8) 8-13
The 1906 earthquake in San Francisco was of magnitude 8.3 and was the most destructive in the history of the United States. Because this part of California is now much more heavily populated, intense studies have been made of the 1906 earthquake in an effort to understand how it occurred...

This was an active period, seismically speaking, with four major earthquakes and a number of strong earthquakes in many parts of the world. Northern Italy experienced one of its most destructive earthquakes in many years. Ecuador suffered fatalities and damage from a strong quake. Uzbek SSR was struck by two...
