Preliminary study of first motion from nuclear explosions recorded on seismograms in the first zone
J. H. Healy, G. B. Mangan
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 13
The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded more than 300 seismograms from more than 50 underground nuclear explosions. Most were recorded at distances of less than 1,000 km. These seismograms have been studied to obtain travel times and amplitudes which have been presented in reports on crustal structure and in a...
Crustal structure in the vicinity of Las Vegas, Nevada, from seismic and gravity observations
John C. Roller
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 12
A seismic-refraction profile indicates that the crust of the Earth increases in thickness by as much as 5 km over a horizontal distance of less than 25 km northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. This feature correlates with a decrease in the Bouguer anomaly and an increase in the average surface...

Crustal structure from San Francisco, California, to Eureka, Nevada, from seismic-refraction measurements
Jerry P. Eaton
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 11
Seismic-refraction measurements from chemical explosions near San Francisco, California, and Fallon and Eureka, Nevada, were made along a line extending nearly 700 km inland from San Francisco across the Coast Ranges, Great Valley, Sierra Nevada, and Basin and Range Province. The velocity of Pg in the Basin and Range Province...

Traveltimes and amplitudes from nuclear explosions; Nevada Test Site to Ordway, Colorado
Alan Ryall, David J. Stuart
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 10
This paper treats the results of a study of seismic waves generated by eight nuclear explosions and recorded at 31 locations between the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and Ordway, Colorado. The line of recording stations crosses the eastern part of the Basin and Range Province, the Colorado Plateau, the southern...
Crustal structure in the western United States; study of seismic propagation paths and regional traveltimes in the California-Nevada region
J.C. Roller, W. H. Jackson, J.F. Cooper, B.A. Martina
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 9
The U.S. Geological Survey, with the assistance of United ElectroDynamics, Inc., completed ten weeks of seismic-refraction field work during the summer of 1962 in the southwestern part of the United States. This work was a continuation of a program initiated in 1961 to study traveltimes and seismic propagation paths in...
Structure of the crust and upper mantle in the western United States
L. C. Pakiser
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 8
Seismic waves generated by underground nuclear and chemical explosions have been recorded in a network of nearly 2,000 stations in the western conterminous United States as a part of the VELA UNIFORM program. The network extends from eastern Colorado to the California coastline and from central Idaho to the border...
Seismic-refraction measurements of crustal structure between Santa Monica Bay and Lake Mead
John C. Roller, John H. Healy
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 7
A reversed seismic-refraction profile was recorded between Santa Monica Bay, California, and Lake Mead, Nevada, during November 1961. Depth to the Mohorovicic discontinuity was determined to be approximately 29 km at Santa Monica Bay, 36 km under the Transverse Ranges, 26 km under the Mojave Desert, and 30 km at...
Preliminary report on seismic-reflection studies of crustal structure in the western, central, and southern United States
J.C. Roller, O.P. Strozier, W. H. Jackson, J. H. Healy
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 14
During 1963 the U.S. Geological Survey, with the assistance of United ElectroDynamics, Inc., recorded five separate reversed seismic profiles. In addition to these profiles, the U.S. Geological Survey participated in a seismic-calibration program for the DRIBBLE experiment at Tatum Dome, Mississippi, a 20,000-pound shot near Dexter, Missouri, and in a...
A progress report on seismic model studies
J. H. Healy, G. B. Mangan
1963, Crustal Studies Technical Letter 15
The value of seismic-model studies as an aid to understanding wave propagation in the Earth's crust was recognized by early investigators (Tatel and Tuve, 1955). Preliminary model results were very promising, but progress in model seismology has been restricted by two problems: (1) difficulties in the development of models with...
Surface water records of New Mexico, water year 1963

1963, Water Data Report NM-63
The surface-water records for the 1963 water year for gaging stations, partial-record stations, and miscellaneous sites within the State of New Mexico are given in this report. For convenience there are also included. records for a few pertinent gaging stations in bordering States. The records were collected and computed by...

Observations on the pre-nesting activity of the Purple Gallinule (Porphyrula martinica) were made by me at the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, Jasper County, South Carolina from 9 to 16 April 1960, 12 to 23 April 1961, and 28 to 30 April 1963. Jasper County is in extreme southeastern South Carolina....

Isolations from 1000 Potamogeton pectinatus plants collected from six major stands in Back Bay, Virginia and 13 in Currituck Sound, North Carolina yielded Pythium spp. consistently and in relatively high frequency. Although specific determination of these isolates was unsuccessful, they were separated into three groups according to morphological and cultural...
Nesting ecology and reproductive rate of the red-winged blackbird in tidal marshes of the upper Chesapeake Bay region

The nesting ecology and reproductive rate of the polygynous red-winged blackbird, Agelaius phoeniceus, were studied in the tidal marshes of Maryland during the period of 1958 through 1961. Sixteen nesting colonies were located in six major marsh communities of the Eastern Shore and were visited approximately twice a week from...
