A computer program to trace seismic ray distribution in complex two-dimensional geological models
Nazieh K. Yacoub, James H. Scott
1970, Report
A computer program has been developed to trace seismic rays and their amplitudes and energies through complex two-dimensional geological models, for which boundaries between elastic units are defined by a series of digitized X-, Y-coordinate values. Input data for the program includes problem identification, control parameters, model coordinates and elastic...
Satellite relay telemetry of seismic data in earthquake prediction and control, 1968 and 1969
W. H. Jackson, Jerry P. Eaton
1970, Open-File Report 70-173
This report describes the progress of the Satellite Telemetry Earthquake Monitoring Program during the period 1 July 1968 through 30 June 1969. This research was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under Contract No. R-09-020-011, Task No. 160-75-01-50-10.The project was initiated in FY 1968 to evaluate the applicability...
Seismic-reflection records from a survey at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver, Colorado
Robert E. Mattick, Donald B. Hoover
1970, Open-File Report 70-217
During July 1966, after competitive bidding, a contract was awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey to GeoData Corporation and Geo Prospectors, Inc., both of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 18 miles of continuous seismic-reflection profiling in the vicinity of a deep injection disposal well (IDW) at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver,...
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: Lessons and conclusions
Edwin B. Eckel
1970, Professional Paper 546
One of the greatest earthquakes of all time struck south-central Alaska on March 27, 1964. Strong motion lasted longer than for most recorded earthquakes, and more land surface was dislocated, vertically and horizontally, than by any known previous temblor. Never before were so many effects on earth processes and on...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, on the Alaska Railroad
David S. McCulloch, Manuel G. Bonilla
1970, Professional Paper 545-D
In the 1964 Alaska earthquake, the federally owned Alaska Railroad sustained damage of more than $35 million: 54 percent of the cost for port facilities; 25 percent, roadbed and track; 9 percent, buildings and utilities; 7 percent, bridges and culverts; and 5 percent, landslide removal. Principal causes of damage were:...
Interim report on worldwide historic surface faulting
Manuel G. Bonilla, Jane M. Buchanan
1970, Open-File Report 70-34
This interim report presents data on and interrelations between the parameters L (length of surface rupture), D (maximum surface displacement), and M (Richter magnitude of associated earthquake) for the main traces of historic surface faults that have been reported in the worldwide literature. Original descriptions of the individual fault-events published...
4 Earthquake: Major offshore earthquakes recall the Aztec myth
United States Department of Commerce
1970, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (2) 4-7
Long before the sun clears the eastern mountains of April 29, 1970, the savanna highlands of Chiapas tremble from a magnitude 6.7 earthquake centered off the Pacific coast near Mexico’s southern border. Then, for a few hours, he Isthmus of Tehuantepec is quiet....
The Alaska earthquake, March 27, 1964: Effects on communities
Wallace R. Hansen, Reuben Kachadoorian, Henry W. Coulter, Ralph R. Migliaccio, Roger M. Waller, Kirk W. Stanley, Richard W. Lemke, George Plafker, Edwin B. Eckel, Lawrence R. Mayo
1969, Professional Paper 542
This is the second in a series of six reports that the U.S. Geological Survey published on the results of a comprehensive geologic study that began, as a reconnaissance survey, within 24 hours after the March 27, 1964, Magnitude 9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake and extended, as detailed investigations, through several...
Effects of the earthquake of March 27, 1964, on various communities
George Plafker, Reuben Kachadoorian, Edwin B. Eckel, Lawrence R. Mayo
1969, Professional Paper 542-G
The 1964 earthquake caused wide-spread damage to inhabited places throughout more than 60,000 square miles of south-central Alaska. This report describes damage to all communities in the area except Anchorage, Whittier, Homer, Valdez, Seward, the communities of the Kodiak group of islands, and communities in the Copper River Basin; these...
Disposal of liquid wastes by injection underground--Neither myth nor millennium
Arthur M. Piper
1969, Circular 631
Injecting liquid wastes deep underground is an attractive but not necessarily practical means for disposing of them. For decades, impressive volumes of unwanted oil-field brine have been injected, currently about 10,000 acre-feet yearly. Recently, liquid industrial wastes are being injected in ever-increasing quantity. Dimensions of industrial injection wells range widely...
Seismic activity during the 1968 test pumping at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal disposal well
Donald B. Hoover, J.A. Dietrich
1969, Circular 613
During the 1968 pumping tests at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal disposal welt, the U.S. Geological Survey was responsible for monitoring earthquakes occurring in the area of the arsenal and making chemical analysis of the fluids removed, three criteria were established to suspend the pumping if anomalous earthquake activity occurred during...
Seismic environment of the Burro Flats site, Ventura County, California: a brief, limited literature review
Carl M. Wentworth, Manuel G. Bonilla, Jane M. Buchanan
1969, Open-File Report 73-360
A limited review of available literature suggests that the maximum horizontal ground acceleration at the Burro Flats site from earthquakes in the region could range from less than 0.1 to 0.49 g. A magnitude 8 earthquake on the nearby San Andreas fault could produce ground acceleration in the range 0.18...
Tectonics of the March 27, 1964, Alaska earthquake
George Plafker
1969, Professional Paper 543-I
The March 27, 1964, earthquake was accomp anied by crustal deformation-including warping, horizontal distortion, and faulting-over probably more than 110,000 square miles of land and sea bottom in south-central Alaska. Regional uplift and subsidence occurred mainly in two nearly parallel elongate zones, together about 600 miles long and as much...
Erosion and deposition on a beach raised by the 1964 earthquake Montague Island, Alaska
M. J. Kirkby, Anne V. Kirkby
1969, Professional Paper 543-H
During the 1964 Alaska earthquake, tectonic deformation uplifted the southern end of Montague Island as much as 33 feet or more. The uplifted shoreline is rapidly being modified by subaerial and marine processes. The new raised beach is formed in bedrock, sand, gravel, and deltaic bay-head deposits, and the effect...
