Recurrence intervals for great earthquakes of the past 3,500 years at northeastern Willapa Bay, Washington
Brian F. Atwater, Eileen Hemphill-Haley
1997, Professional Paper 1576
Seven great earthquakes, or earthquake series, probably ruptured the southern Washington part of the Cascadia subduction zone in the past 3,500 years. Each earthquake was probably of magnitude 8 or larger. The earthquakes define six recurrence intervals that average about 500 years. The longest interval, about 700-1300 years, was followed...

On the watch for geomagnetic storms
Arthur W. Green, William M. Brown III
1997, Fact Sheet 177-97
Geomagnetic storms, induced by solar activity, pose significant hazards to satellites, electrical power distribution systems, radio communications, navigation, and geophysical surveys. Strong storms can expose astronauts and crews of high-flying aircraft to dangerous levels of radiation. Economic losses from recent geomagnetic storms have run into hundreds of millions of dollars....
Hydrogeologic evaluation of the Upper Floridan aquifer in the southwestern Albany area, Georgia
Debbie Warner
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4129
A cooperative study by the Albany Water, Gas, and Light Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey was conducted to evaluate the hydrogeology of the Upper Floridan aquifer in an area southwest of Albany and west of the Flint River in Dougherty County, Ga. The study area lies in the Dougherty...

The Cutler Formation is composed of thick, arkosic, alluvial sandstones shed southwestward from the Uncompahgre highlands into the Paradox Basin. Salt tectonism played an important role in deposition of the Cutler in some areas. In the northeast part of the basin, more than 8,000 ft, and as much as 15,000 ft,...
