Mount Jefferson is a prominent feature of the landscape seen from highways east and west of the Cascades. Mount Jefferson (one of thirteen major volcanic centers in the Cascade Range) has erupted repeatedly for hundreds of thousands of years, with its last eruptive episode during the last major glaciation which...
Magmatic carbon dioxide emissions at Mammoth Mountain, California
Christopher D. Farrar, John M. Neil, James F. Howle
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4217
Carbon dioxide (CO2) of magmatic origin is seeping out of the ground in unusual quantities at several locations around the flanks of Mammoth Mountain, a dormant volcano in Eastern California. The most recent volcanic activity on Mammoth Mountain was steam eruptions about 600 years ago, but seismic swarms and long-period...
Soil-calcium depletion linked to acid rain and forest growth in the eastern United States
Gregory B. Lawrence, T.G. Huntington
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4267
Since the discovery of acid rain in the 1970's, scientists have been concerned that deposition of acids could cause depletion of calcium in forest soils. Research in the 1980's showed that the amount of calcium in forest soils is controlled by several factors that are difficult to measure. Further research...

During a 96-hour period extending from June 26 to June 30, 1998, a stalled frontal system produced a series of storms that dumped 10 inches or more of rain on parts of Ohio. The storms occurred at the end of a relatively wet month, resulting in flooding and widespread damage...
Plutons and accretionary episodes of the Klamath Mountains, California and Oregon
William P. Irwin, Joseph L. Wooden
1999, Open-File Report 99-374
The Klamath Mountains consist of various accreted terranes and include many plutons that range in composition from gabbro to granodiorite. Some of the plutons (preaccretionary plutons) were parts of terranes before the terranes accreted; others (accretionary plutons) intruded during or after the accretion of their host terrane(s). This report attempts...

Geometry, structure, and concealed lithology of the San Rafael Basin, southeastern Arizona
Mark W. Bultman
1999, Open-File Report 99-399
The contiguous United States has been well explored for exposed conventional mineral deposits. Therefore, it is likely that many economically viable and strategically significant conventional undiscovered mineral deposits will be found in bedrock concealed beneath basin sediments. Mineral resource assessments must incorporate an understanding of the geometry, structure, and concealed...

Evaluation of weights of evidence to predict epithermal-gold deposits in the Great Basin of the western United States
Gary L. Raines
1999, Natural Resources Research (8) 257-276
The weights-of-evidence method provides a simple approach to the integration of diverse geologic information. The application addressed is to construct a model that predicts the locations of epithermal-gold mineral deposits in the Great Basin of the western United States. Weights of evidence is a data-driven method requiring known deposits and...
