Preliminary investigation of land subsidence in the Sacramento Valley, California
B. E. Lofgren, R. L. Ireland
1973, Open-File Report 74-1064
Although a number of agencies have made leveling surveys in Sacramento Valley and a valleywide network of first- and second-order control exists, few areas have sufficient control for determining whether land subsidence has occurred and if so, how much, within the time span of vertical control. Available data suggest that...

The Pine and Popple Rivers, virtually unaltered by man, flow through a semiprimitive area of forests, lakes, and glacial hills. White-water streams, natural lakes, fish and animal life, and abundant vegetation contribute to the unique recreational and aesthetic characteristics of the area.

Oil exploration in Florida began around the turn of the century in Escambia County (Gunter, 1949). Many test wells were drilled from 1900 until Humble Oil and Refining Company developed Florida's first producing well (Gulf Coast Realties Corp. No. 1) in September 1943 at Sunniland. (See fig. 1.) The first...
Glacial and postglacial geologic history of Isle Royale National Park, Michigan
N. King Huber
1973, Professional Paper 754-A
Isle Royale was overridden by glacial ice during each of the four major glaciations of the Pleistocene Epoch, and each successive glaciation essentially obliterated all direct evidence of preceding glaciations on the island. In the waning phase of the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin Glaciation, the frontal ice margin retreated...

1973, GSA Bulletin (84) 371-386
Study of major element chemical analyses of Columbia River basalt leads to a grouping of most of the analyses into 11 chemical types which are distinguished with little overlap on a SiO2-MgO variation diagram. Other diagnostic variation diagrams are total iron (‘FeO’)-MgO, K2O-MgO, and TiO2-MgO.A four-unit informal stratigraphy has been...
