Preliminary paleomagnetic results from the Coyote Creek Outdoor Classroom drill hole, Santa Clara Valley, California
Edward A. Mankinen, Carl M. Wentworth
2003, Open-File Report 2003-187

Cruise summary for P-1-02-SC: acoustic imaging of natural oil and gas seeps and measurement of dissolved methane concentration in coastal waters near Pt. Conception, California
T.D. Lorenson, Jennifer A. Dougherty, William Ussler III, Charles K. Paull
2003, Open-File Report 2003-122
Water-column acoustic anomalies and methane concentrations were documented in coastal waters surrounding Pt. Conception, California, in March 2002. The purpose of this survey, supported by the Minerals Management Service, was to locate active oil and gas seeps in the area as a background for further studies to determine hydrocarbon flux,...
Assessment of habitat and streamflow requirements for habitat protection, Usquepaug–Queen River, Rhode Island, 1999–2000
David S. Armstrong, Gene W. Parker
2003, Open-File Report 2002-438
The relations among stream habitat and hydrologic conditions were investigated in the Usquepaug–Queen River Basin in southern Rhode Island. Habitats were assessed at 13 sites on the mainstem and tributaries from July 1999 to September 2000. Channel types are predominantly low-gradient glides, pools, and runs that have a sand and...

Randall W. Jibson, Matthew W. Jibson
2003, Open-File Report 2003-5
Landslides typically cause a large proportion of earthquake damage, and the ability to predict slope performance during earthquakes is important for many types of seismic-hazard analysis and for the design of engineered slopes. Newmark's method for modeling a landslide as a rigid-plastic block sliding on an inclined plane provides a...
