Facing the great disaster : How the men and women of the U.S. Geological Survey responded to the 1906 "San Francisco Earthquake"
Elizabeth M. Colvard, James Rogers
2006, General Information Product 31
It was the most devastating earthquake in California’s history. At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, the ground under the San Francisco Bay Area shook violently for more than 40 seconds. The magnitude 7.8 earthquake created a rupture along nearly 300 miles of the San Andreas Fault and was felt...

Ground-water, surface-water, and water-chemistry data, Black Mesa area, northeastern Arizona — 2004–05
Margot Truini, J. P. Macy
2006, Open-File Report 2006-1058
The N aquifer is the major source of water in the 5,400-square-mile area of Black Mesa in northeastern Arizona. Availability of water is an important issue in this area because of continued industrial and municipal use, a growing population, and precipitation of about 6 to 14 inches per year. The monitoring...

Halfway through Reid's cycle and counting
William L. Ellsworth
2006, Science (312) 203-204
100 years ago, San Francisco was hit by a great earthquake. The subsequent simple models of cyclical fault rupture have not yielded useful pre-dictions; long-term study of seismic mechanisms are still required...
Hydrogeology, water use, and simulated ground-water flow and availability in Campton township, Kane County, Illinois
Robert T. Kay, Leslie D. Arihood, Terri Arnold, Kathleen K. Fowler
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5076
Several aquifers underlying Campton Township in Kane County, Illinois provide virtually all of the water supply to the residents of the township. These aquifers consist of layers of unconsolidated sand and gravel in the glacial drift; dolomite and shale of the Alexandrian Series and the Maquoketa Group (the Silurian-Maquoketa aquifer);...
Hydrogeology and simulation of ground-water flow in the Silurian-Devonian aquifer system, Johnson County, Iowa
Patrick Tucci, Robert M. McKay
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5266
Bedrock of Silurian and Devonian age (termed the “Silurian-Devonian aquifer system”) is the primary source of ground water for Johnson County in east-central Iowa. Population growth within municipal and suburban areas of the county has resulted in increased amounts of water withdrawn from this aquifer and water-level declines in some...

Central Texas coastal classification maps - Aransas Pass to Mansfield Channel
Robert A. Morton, Russell L. Peterson
2006, Open-File Report 2006-1096
The primary purpose of the USGS National Assessment of Coastal Change Project is to provide accurate representations of pre-storm ground conditions for areas that are designated high priority because they have dense populations or valuable resources that are at risk from storm waves. A secondary purpose of the project is...
Evaluation of the ground-water flow model for northern Utah Valley, Utah, updated to conditions through 2002
