Earthquake education in California
M. P. MacCabe
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 172-173
In a survey of community response to the earthquake threat in southern California, Ralph Turner and his colleagues in the Department of Sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles, found that the public very definitely wants to be educated about the kinds of problems and hazards they can expect...
The Southern California uplift revisited
R. A. Kerr
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 98-103
The earthquake that struck Livermore, east of San Francisco, on January 24 was the second moderate earthquake to have occurred in the San Francisco Bay area in 5 months. It raised familiar questions. Does this mean that the "Big One" is coming? Is the theater of heightened concern now in...
The size of earthquakes
H. Kanamori
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 10-15
How we should measure the size of an earthquake has been historically a very important, as well as a very difficult, seismological problem. For example, figure 1 shows the loss of life caused by earthquakes in recent times and clearly demonstrates that 1976 was the worst year for earthquake casualties...

Earthquakes, July-August, 1979
W. J. Person
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 36-39
There was one major (magnitude 7.0-7.9) earthquake during this reporting period. The quake occurred on August 26 in the Philippine Islands. Strong or damaging earthquakes, which struck many parts of the world, caused casualties and damage; deaths were reported in China and Kashmir, and damaging earthquakes occurred in Costa Rica,...
Earthquakes, September-October, 1979
W. J. Person
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 74-77
The months of September and October were quite active, seismically speaking, compared to the previous 2 months. One great earthquake, a magnitude (M) 8.1, was centered in the West Irian region on September 12. Two major (M=7.0-7.9) earthquakes occurred, one on October 12, a M=7.3 off the west coast of...
Continuous monitoring of Mount St. Helens Volcano
H. Spall
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 220-227
Day by day monitoring of the Mount St. Helens Volcano. These are four scenarios, very different scenarios, that can occur in a average week at Mount St. Helens. Ranging from eruptions of gas and to steam to eruptions of ash and pyroclastic flows to even calm days. This example of...
Charles F. Richter; an interview
H. Spall
1980, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (12) 4-8
Charles F. Richter, renowned seismologist, is a professor emeritus at the California Institue of techonology (Caltech). He is best known to the public for the Richter magnitude scale; but he is equally recognized in the scientific community for many other contributions to seismology including his books Elementary Seismology (1958) and...
Sterility method of pest control and its potential role in an integrated sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control program
Lee H. Hanson, Patrick J. Manion
1980, Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (37) 2108-2117
The sterility method of pest control could be an effective tool in the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control program in the Great Lakes. Some of the requirements for its successful application have been met. A field study demonstrated that the release of male sea lampreys, sterilized by the injection of...
Age and growth of rock bass in eastern Lake Ontario
David R. Wolfert
1980, New York Fish and Game Journal (27) 88-90
To test the reliability of current techniques, five biologists appraised the ages of 200 quail from a random sample of wings collected during the 1952-53 hunting season in Alabama. Attempt was made to distinguish adults from juveniles, to ascertain the stage of post-nuptial and post-juvenile molts, and to estimate the...
Atlantic Flyway review: Region V: Laurel, Prince Georges County, MD (390-0765)
Chandler S. Robbins
1980, North American Bird Bander (5) 34-34
Despite a 22% increase in net-hours, the number of new birds banded dropped 26% from 1977. The decrease was noted in each month and was spread among all of the commonest species, including summer residents, winter residents, permanent residents, and transients. The greatest declines were in Scarlet Tanager (84%), Blue...
Ocean eddy structure by satellite radar altimetry required for iceberg towing
W. J. Campbell, R. E. Cheney, J. G. Marsh, N. M. Mognard
1980, Cold Regions Science and Technology (1) 211-221
Models for the towing of large tabular icebergs give towing speeds of 0.5 knots to 1.0 knots relative to the ambient near surface current. Recent oceanographic research indicates that the world oceans are not principally composed of large steady-state current systems, like the Gulf Stream, but that most of the...
