Chapter A. The Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989 - Lifelines
Anshel J. Schiff, editor(s)
1998, Professional Paper 1552-A
To the general public who had their televisions tuned to watch the World Series, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake was a lifelines earthquake. It was the images seen around the world of the collapsed Cypress Street viaduct, with the frantic and heroic efforts to pull survivors from the structure that...
The probability of lava inundation at the proposed and existing Kulani prison sites
J. P. Kauahikaua, F. A. Trusdell, C. C. Heliker
1998, Open-File Report 98-794
The State of Hawai`i has proposed building a 2,300-bed medium-security prison about 10 km downslope from the existing Kulani medium-security correctional facility. The proposed and existing facilities lie on the northeast rift zone of Mauna Loa, which last erupted in 1984 in this same general area. We use the best...
Slope maps of the San Francisco Bay region, California: A digital database
Scott E. Graham, Richard J. Pike
1998, Open-File Report 98-766
PREFACE: Topography, the configuration of the land surface, plays a major role in various natural processes that have helped shape the ten-county San Francisco Bay region and continue to affect its development. Such processes include a dangerous type of landslide, the debris flow (Ellen and others, 1997) as well...
Modified Mercalli intensities for some recent California earthquakes and historic San Francisco Bay Region earthquakes
William H. Bakun
1998, Open-File Report 98-584
Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) data for recent California earthquakes were used by Bakun and Wentworth (1997) to develop a strategy for bounding the location and moment magnitude M of earthquakes from MMI observations only. Bakun (Bull. Seismol. Soc. Amer., submitted) used the Bakun and Wentworth (1997) strategy to analyze 19th...
Corrections to "Estimating earthquake location and magnitude from seismic intensity data"
W. H. Bakun, C. M. Wentworth
1998, Open-File Report 98-614
The confidence parameters in Table 5 and Figures 7 -12 in Bakun and Wentworth (1997) were calculated using the site corrections for MI(4) rather than Bakun and Wentworth's (1997) preferred relation MI(3). The conclusions of Bakun and Wentworth (1997) are not changed by these corrections. The corrected Table 5 and...
Catalog of the historically active volcanoes of Alaska
T. P. Miller, R. G. McGimsey, D.H. Richter, J.R. Riehle, C.J. Nye, M. E. Yount, Julie A. Dumoulin
1998, Open-File Report 98-582
Alaska hosts within its borders over 80 major volcanic centers that have erupted during Holocene time (< 10,000 years). At least 29 of these volcanic centers (table 1) had historical eruptions and 12 additional volcanic centers may have had historical eruptions. Historical in Alaska generally means the period since 1760...
Volcano hazards from Mount Rainier, Washington, revised 1998
R. Hoblitt, J. S. Wilder, C. L. Driedger, K. M. Scott, P. T. Pringle, J.W. Vallance
1998, Open-File Report 98-428
Mount Rainier—at 4393 meters (14,410 feet) the highest peak in the Cascade Range—is a dormant volcano whose load of glacier ice exceeds that of any other mountain in the conterminous United States. This tremendous mass of rock and ice, in combination with great topographic relief, poses a variety of geologic...
Concentrations, loads, and yields of selected water-quality constituents during low flow and storm runoff from three watersheds at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, May 1994 through September 1996
Patrick P. Rasmussen
1998, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4001
A study of the effects of storm runoff from urban areas on water quality at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, was conducted from May 1994 through September 1996. The purpose of this report is to present information to assess the current (1994-96) conditions and possible methods for anticipating future water-quality effects from...
Oreshoot zoning in the Carlin-type Betze orebody, Goldstrike Mine, Eureka County, Nevada
Stephen G. Peters, Gregory C. Ferdock, Maria B. Woitsekhowskaya, Robert Leonardson, Jerry Rahn
1998, Open-File Report 98-620
Field and laboratory investigations of the giant Betze gold orebody, the largest Carlin-type deposit known, in the north-central Carlin trend, Nevada document that the orebody is composed of individual high-grade oreshoots that contain different geologic, mineralogic, and textural characteristics. The orebody is typical of many structurally controlled Carlin-type deposits, and...
