2003, Open-File Report 2003-308
InSAR is a powerful technique that uses radar data acquired at different times to measure land-surface deformation, or displacement, over large areas at a high level of spatial detail and a high degree of measurement resolution. InSAR displacement maps (interferograms), in conjunction with other hydrogeologic data, have been used to...

Low-flow characteristics and profiles for the Rocky River in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River basin, North Carolina, through 2002
J. Curtis Weaver, Jason M. Fine
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4147
An understanding of the magnitude and frequency of low-flow discharges is an important part of protecting surface-water resources and planning for municipal and industrial economic expansion. Low-flow characteristics are summarized for 12 continuous-record gaging stations and 44 partial-record measuring sites in the Rocky River basin in North Carolina. Records of...
Rim Sim: A Role-Play Simulation
Robert C. Barrett, Suzanne L. Frew, David G. Howell, Herman A. Karl, Emily B. Rudin
2003, Bulletin 2212
Rim Sim is a 6-hour, eight-party negotiation that focuses on creating a framework for the long-term disaster-recovery efforts. It involves a range of players from five countries affected by two natural disasters: a typhoon about a year ago and an earthquake about 6 months ago. The players are members of...
Station corrections for the Katmai Region Seismic Network
Cheryl K. Searcy
2003, Open-File Report 2003-403
Most procedures for routinely locating earthquake hypocenters within a local network are constrained to using laterally homogeneous velocity models to represent the Earth's crustal velocity structure. As a result, earthquake location errors may arise due to actual lateral variations in the Earth's velocity structure. Station corrections can be used to...

Tectonic evolution of the Proterozoic Colorado Province, Southern Rocky Mountains: A summary and appraisal
Paul K. Sims, Holly J. Stein
2003, Rocky Mountain Geology (38) 183-204
The Colorado province is a major component of a >1000-km-wide belt of Paleoproterozoic ocean-arc rocks that occupies the southwestern United States. Known as the Transcontinental Proterozoic provinces, this belt of largely juvenile rocks was added to the southern margin of the North American craton during the interval 1.8-1.70 Ga by...
Old Seismic bulletins to 1920: A collective heritage from early seismologists
Johannes Schweitzer, W.H.K. Lee
2003, Book chapter, International Geophysics
This chapter focuses on collective heritage from early seismologists. Scientists began systematic instrumental observation of earthquakes in the latter part of the 19 th century. Several authors describe the history of the development of an adequate instrumentation for seismology. In the 1880s, scientists in Italy, Japan, and Germany began to...
Airflows and turbulent flux measurements in mountainous terrain: Part 1. Canopy and local effects
Andrew A. Turnipseed, Dean E. Anderson, Peter D. Blanken, William M. Baugh, Russell K. Monson
2003, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology (119) 1-21
We have studied the effects of local topography and canopy structure on turbulent flux measurements at a site located in mountainous terrain within a subalpine, coniferous forest. Our primary aim was to determine whether the complex terrain of the site affects the accuracy of eddy flux measurements from a practical...

Consequences of viscous drag beneath a transform fault
James C. Savage, A.H. Lachenbruch
2003, Journal of Geophysical Research (108) 1-13
A transform fault is modeled as a vertical cut through an elastic layer (schizosphere) of thickness overlying a viscous substrate (plastosphere). We consider a steady transform motion accommodated in the schizosphere wholly by slip on the fault and in the plastosphere, insofar as possible, by viscous flow. For the case...
Epizootiology and histopathology of Parvicapsula sp. in coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch
William T. Yasutake, Diane G. Elliott
2003, Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (56) 215-221
The epizootiology and histopathology of the myxosporean Parvicapsula sp. was studied during monthly health surveys of 4 groups of coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch at a commercial farm in Puget Sound, Washington, USA, from 1984 to 1986. No Parvicapsula sp. was detected in histological samples taken from juvenile fish in fresh...

Echinochiton dufoei, a new spiny Ordovician chiton
J. Pojeta Jr., Douglas J. Eernisse, R. D. Hoare, M. D. Henderson
2003, Journal of Paleontology (77) 646-654
Echinochiton dufoei new genus and species is described from the Ordovician age Forreston Member, Grand Detour Formation (Blackriveran) near Beloit, Wisconsin. For a variety of reasons, we regard E. dufoei as a chiton; the species is known from four articulated or partially articulated specimens, one of which has eight plates and...

Searching for an electrical-grade geothermal resource in Northern Arizona to help geopower the west
Paul Morgan, Wendell A. Duffield, J.H. Sass, Tracey J. Felger
2003, Geothermal Resources Council Transactions (27) 629-634
The U.S Department of Energy s "Geopowering the West" initiative seeks to double the number of states (currently 4) that generate geothermal electric power over the next few years. Some states, like New Mexico and Oregon, have plentiful and conspicuous geothermal manifestations, and are thus likely to further DOE's goal...
StreamStats: a U.S. geological survey web site for stream information

2003, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the 1st Interagency Conference on Research in Watershed
The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a Web application, named StreamStats, for providing streamflow statistics, such as the 100-year flood and the 7-day, 10-year low flow, to the public. Statistics can be obtained for data-collection stations and for ungaged sites. Streamflow statistics are needed for water-resources planning and management; for...

Estimating Meher crop production using rainfall in the 'Long Cycle' region of Ethiopia
Chris Funk, Alemu Asfaw, Phil Steffen, Gabriel B. Senay, James Rowland, James Verdin
2003, Report
Meher season crop production is well correlated with April-May rainfall in the Ethiopian 'long cycle' crop growing region. This relationship is used to estimate 2003 Meher small farmer gross production at 87 =B1 10 million quintals (8.7 million MT2 =B1 1 million MT) of cereals, pulses and other crops, using data...
