Quaternary tectonics of Utah with emphasis on earthquake-hazard characterization
Suzanne Hecker
1993, Bulletin 127
This report consolidates and synthesizes information on Quaternary faulting, folding, and volcanism in Utah and characterizes recent tectonic activity throughout the state. The primary purpose is to provide a comprehensive reference on faultspecific seismic sources and surface rupture to facilitate the evaluation of earthquake hazards in Utah. Two 1:500,000-scale maps...
Flood hydrology and geomorphic effects on river channels and flood plains: The flood of November 4-5, 1985, in the South Branch Potomac River Basin of West Virginia
Andrew J. Miller, Douglas J. Parkinson
1993, Bulletin 1981-E
The November 1985 flood was the largest recorded in the South Branch Potomac River basin. Discharges exceeded values estimated for a recurrence interval of 500 yr at four of six stations in the basin. Flow velocities in the channel were as high as 4.6 m/s and may have exceeded 6 m/s at some...
Depositional aspects of the November 1985 Flood on Cheat River and Black Fork, West Virginia
J. S. Kite, R. C. Linton
1993, Bulletin 1981-D
Widespread, intense rainfall in November 1985 produced floods that exceeded all historic events on Cheat River and most of its tributaries. Official discharge estimates for Cheat River ranged from 4,800 to 5,380 m3 /s (170,000-190,000 ft3/s) with a recurrence interval of >100 yr. In addition to considerable property damage and...
Landslides triggered by the storm of November 3-5, 1985, Wills Mountain Anticline, West Virginia and Virginia
Robert B. Jacobson, John P. McGeehin, Elizabeth D. Cron, Carolyn E. Carr, John M. Harper, Alan D. Howard
1993, Bulletin 1981-C
More than 3,000 landslides were triggered by heavy rainfall in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and Virginia, November 3-5, 1985. These landslides provided the opportunity to study spatial controls on landslides, magnitude and frequency of triggering events, and the effects of landslides on flood-induced geomorphic change. The study...
Meteorology of the storm of November 3-5, 1985, in West Virginia and Virginia: Chapter B in Geomorphic studies of the storm and flood of November 3-5, 1985, in the upper Potomac and Cheat River basins in West Virginia and Virginia
Stephen J. Colucci, Robert B. Jacobson, Steven Greco
1993, Bulletin 1981-B
The storm of November 3-5, 1985, in the central Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and Virginia resulted from a complex sequence of meteorological events. The stage was set by Hurricane Juan, which made landfall in the Gulf Coast on October 31. Juan brought moisture northward up the Mississippi Valley; latent...
A postulated new source for the White River Ash, Alaska: A section in Geologic studies in Alaska by the US. Geological Survey, 1990
Robert G. McGimsey, Donald H. Richter, Gregory D. DuBois, T. P. Miller
1992, Bulletin 1999
The White River Ash (Lerbekmo and others, 1968), product of two of the most voluminous pyroclastic eruptions in North America in the past 2,000 yr, blankets much of the Yukon Terrtory, Canada, and a small part of adjoining eastern Alaska. Lerbekmo and Campbell (1969) narrowed the source of the ash...
Bedrock geology and mineral resources of the Knoxville 1° x 2° quadrangle, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina
Gilpin R. Robinson Jr., Frank G. Lesure, J. I. Marlowe, Nora K. Foley, S. H. Clark
1992, Bulletin 1979
The Knoxville 1° x 2° quadrangle spans the Southern Blue Ridge physiographic province at its widest point from eastern Tennessee across western North Carolina to the northwest corner of South Carolina. The quadrangle also contains small parts of the Valley and Ridge province in Tennessee and the Piedmont province in...
