Knickzone propagation in the Black Hills and northern High Plains: A different perspective on the late Cenozoic exhumation of the Laramide Rocky Mountains
Brent J. Zaprowski, Edward B. Evenson, Frank J. Pazzaglia, Jack B. Epstein
2001, Geology (29) 547-550
Geomorphic research in the Black Hills and northern High Plains poses an intriguing hypothesis for the Cenozoic evolution of this salient of the Laramide Rockies. Most recently, geologists have appealed to late Cenozoic epeirogenic uplift or climate change to explain the post-Laramide unroofing of the Rockies. On the basis of...
Observations of earthquake source parameters at 2 km depth in the Long Valley Caldera, eastern California
Stephanie G. Prejean, William L. Ellsworth
2001, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America (91) 165-177
To investigate seismic source parameter scaling and seismic efficiency in the Long Valley caldera, California, we measured source parameters for 41 earthquakes (M 0.5 to M 5) recorded at 2 km depth in the Long Valley Exploratory Well. Borehole recordings provide a wide frequency bandwidth, typically 1 to 200–300 Hz,...

A moment magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck southern Puget Sound (Figure 1) on February 28, 2001, causing an estimated $0.7–$1.4 billion in damages to buildings and roadways in the region [Williams et al., 2001]. The earthquake source was 52 km deep, and the epicenter was located close to the Nisqually River...
Relocation of Wyoming mine production blasts using calibration explosions
Carol A. Finn, Gordon D. Kraft, Matthew S. Sibol, Ronald L. Jones, Mark E. Pulaski
2001, Book chapter, Monitoring the comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty: Sourse location
An important requirement for a comprehensive seismic monitoring system is the capability to accurately locate small seismic events worldwide. Accurate event location can improve the probability of determining whether or not a small event, recorded predominantly by local and regional stations, is a nuclear explosion. For those portions of the...
Paleohydrologic record of spring deposits in and around Pleistocene pluvial Lake Tecopa, southeastern California
Stephen T. Nelson, Haraldur R. Karlsson, James B. Paces, David G. Tingey, Stephen Ward, Mark T. Peters
2001, GSA Bulletin (113) 659-670
Tufa (spring) deposits in the Tecopa basin, California, reflect the response of arid groundwater regimes to wet climate episodes. Two types of tufa are represented, informally defined as (1) an easily disaggregated, fine-grained mixture of calcite and quartz (friable tufa) in the southwest Tecopa Valley, and (2) hard, vuggy micrite,...
Displacement rates on the Toroweap and Hurricane faults: Implications for Quaternary downcutting in the Grand Canyon, Arizona
Cassandra R. Fenton, Robert H. Webb, Philip A. Pearthree, Thure E. Cerling, Robert J. Poreda
2001, Geology (29) 1035-1038
The Toroweap and Hurricane faults, considered to be the most active in Arizona, cross the Uinkaret volcanic field in the western Grand Canyon. These normal faults are downthrown to the west, and the Colorado River crosses these faults as it flows west in the Grand Canyon. Cosmogenic 3He (3Hec) dates...
Progress made in understanding Mount Rainier's hazards
T. W. Sisson, J.W. Vallance, P. T. Pringle
2001, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (82) 113-120
At 4392 m high, glacier-clad Mount Rainier dominates the skyline of the southern Puget Sound region and is the centerpiece of Mount Rainier National Park. About 2.5 million people of the greater Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area can see Mount Rainier on clear days, and 150,000 live in areas swept by lahars...
Water quality assessment of the Eastern Iowa Basins: Basic water chemistry of rivers and streams, 1996-98
Kimberlee K. Barnes
2001, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Agriculture and the Environment: State and Federal Water Initiatives Conference
The U.S. Geological Survey began data-collection activities in the Eastern Iowa Basins study unit of the National Water-Quality Assessment Program in September 1995 with the purpose of determining the status and trends in water quality of water from the Wapsipinicon, Cedar, Iowa, and Skunk River basins. From March 1996 through...
Reconnaissance geology north of the Hoholitna River, Taylor Mountains D-1 1:63,360-scale quadrangle, southwestern Alaska: A section in Geological studies in Alaska by the U.S. Geological Survey, 1999
Robert B. Blodgett, Frederic H. Wilson

Droughts, epic droughts and droughty centuries - lessons from a California paleoclimatic record: a PACLIM 2001 meeting report
M. D. Dettinger
2001, Interagency Ecological Program Newsletter (14) 51-53
During the early 1990s (but echoing studies by S.T. Harding at the University of California, from as early as the 1930s), several lines of paleoclimate evidence in and around the Sierra Nevada Range have provided the water community in California with some real horror stories. By studying ancient tree stumps...
