The Mississippi Valley earthquakes of 1811 and 1812
O.W. Nuttli
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 8-13
Shortly after 2 o'clock on the morning of December 16, 1811, the Mississippi River valley was convulsed by an earthquake so severe that it awakened people in cities as distant as Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Norfolk, Virginia. This shock inaugurated what must have been the most frightening sequence of earthquakes ever...
Seismic risk maps
David M. Perkins
Robert Mallis, editor(s)
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 10-15
What is the possibility that an earthquake will occur near you? Have you ever wondered what the chances were that an earthquake could affect you at home or at work? Perhaps you are planning to move to a part of the country subject to frequent earthquakes. How do you determine...
An attempt to age mallards using eye lens proteins
Charles J. Henny, J. Larry Ludke
1974, Journal of Wildlife Management (38) 138-141
An analysis of insoluble protein content of eye lenses from 59 known-age mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) indicated a slight increase between 8-9 months and 7 years of age. Nearly a complete overlapping of the insoluble protein content of individuals of different ages was apparent showing that the technique cannot be used...
Progress report on flood magnitude and frequency of Vermont streams
Carl G. Johnson, Gary D. Tasker
1974, Open-File Report 74-130
A technique is presented for estimating the magnitude and frequency of floods on streams in Vermont with drainage areas between 0.27 and 1,040 square miles. Multiple-regression techniques are used to define the relation between flood peaks, collected at a network of gaging stations maintained by the U.S. Geological Survey, and...
New seismic study begins in Puerto Rico
Arthur C. Tarr
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 23-26
A new seismological project is now underway in Puerto Rico to provide information needed for accurate assessment of the island's seismic hazard. The project should also help to increase understanding of the tectonics and geologic evolution of the Caribbean region. The Puerto Rico Seismic Program is being conducted by the...
Computer systems for automatic earthquake detection
S.W. Stewart
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 17-21
U.S Geological Survey seismologists in Menlo park, California, are utilizing the speed, reliability, and efficiency of minicomputers to monitor seismograph stations and to automatically detect earthquakes. An earthquake detection computer system, believed to be the only one of its kind in operation, automatically reports about 90 percent of all local...
New cooperative seismograph networks established in southern California
D.P. Hill
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 8-11
Southern California has more active faults located close to large, urban population centers than any other region in the United States. Reduction of risk to life and property posed by potential earthquakes along these active faults is a primary motivation for a cooperative earthquake research program between the U.S Geological...
A geologic and geophysical study of the Charleston, South Carolina, earthquake zone
B.B. Higgins, P. Popenoe
1974, Earthquake Information Bulletin (USGS) (6) 16-23
A maximum Modified Mercalli intensity of X was reported in Charleston. Damage to buildings was extensive, railroads were made impassable, and communications were disrupted. During the earthquake 27 people were killed, and 56 later died as a result of exposure and injuries sustained during the shaking. The earthquake was reported...
Porosity, density, grain density, and related physical properties of sediments from the Red Sea drill cores
Frank T. Manheim, Linda Dwight, Rebecca A. Belastock
1974, Initial reports of the Deep Sea Drilling Project (23) 887-907
Representative sediments from each site were chosen for examination of their dry specific gravity and grain density. The determinations were made by micropycnometer; water was used as the displacing medium, and salt corrections were based on the refractive index measurements on interstitial water. For saltier brines the "salinities" derived from...
Stable isotope and lead isotope study of the Cortez, Nevada, gold deposit and surrounding area
R. O. Rye, B. R. Doe, J. D. Wells
1974, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (2) 13-23
Isotope studies of sulfur, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and lead were carried out to clarify the age and origin of the Cortex gold deposit and the surrounding mineralized area. The hydrogen isotope data indicate that meteoric water was the dominant component of the ore-forming fluids at Cortez. The hydrogen isotope data support geologic evidence for a...
Reconnaissance of the water resources in the vicinity of proposed deep-well injection sites in southeast Dade County, Florida
J.E. Earle, F.W. Meyer
1973, Open-File Report 73-65
Deep-well injection has been selected by the Dade County Water and Sewer Authority as a means of disposing treated waste water in southeast Dade County. Preliminary plans call for the construction of a county-owned sanitary sewage treatment plant and several 3,000-foot deep injection wells at 1,000-foot intervals on Levee 31E....
Developing a state water plan: Ground-water conditions in Utah, spring of 1973
E.L. Bolke, L.J. Bjorklund, L. J. McGreevy, R. W. Mower, L. R. Herbert, L. L. Miller, R.G. Butler, G. W. Sandberg, D. B. Adams
1973, Cooperative Investigations Report 12
This report is the tenth in a series of annual reports that describe ground-water conditions in Utah. Reports in this series are prepared cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Utah Division of Water Resources and are designed to provide data to enable interested parties such as legislators, administrators,...
The effects of restricted circulation on the salt balance of Great Salt Lake, Utah
K.M. Waddell, E.L. Bolke
1973, Utah Geological and Mineralogical Survey Water-Resources Bulletin 18
During the 1970-1972 water years a net load of dissolved solids of 0.26 billion tons moved from the south to north part of Great Salt Lake, Utah, through the causeway of the Southern Pacific Transportation Co. The load loss from the south part during the 1972 water year was only...
Hydrologic reconnaissance of Pilot Valley, Utah and Nevada
Jerry C. Stephens, James W. Hood
1973, Technical Publication 41
This report, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Water Rights, is the twelfth in a series of reports that describe the water resources of the western basins of Utah. (See fig. 1.) Its purpose is to present available hydrologic...
