Possible role of mantle-derived CO2 in causing two "phreatic" explosions in Alaska
I. Barnes, G.A. McCoy
1979, Geology (7) 434-435
Two "phreatic" maars in Alaska may have been created by the explosive release of carbon dioxide from a basaltic melt. Both the basalt of the maars and the observed CO2 (δ13C = -6.36‰) are inferred to have come from the mantle. © 1979 Geological Society of America....

Middle Miocene marine diatoms from the Hawthorn Formation within the Ridgeland Trough, South Carolina and Georgia
William H. Abbott, George W. Andrews
1979, Micropaleontology (25) 225-271
Diatomaceous sediments in outcrops of the Miocene Hawthorn Formation at Dawsons Landing in South Carolina and at Berrys Landing in Georgia, have yielded a total of 111 marine diatom taxa. Varving of the diatomaceous clay suggests that the diatoms were deposited in a restricted basin or lagoonal area that had...
Depth occurrences of foraminifera along the southeastern United States
R. Todd
1979, Journal of Foraminiferal Research (9) 277-301
The shelf samples are rich with their diversity increasing seaward to the edge of the shelf or the upper part of the continental slope. Miliolids and elphidiids predominate on the inner part of the shelf. Their dominance gives way to textulariids and bolivinids as the shelf edge is approached. Cassidulinids...

Megalagrion paludicola, a new species of damselfly (Odonata: Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae) from Kauai
J. A. Maciolek, F.G. Howarth
1979, Pacific Insects (21) 165-171
A new endemic Hawaiian damselfly, Megalagrion paludicola, is described and illustrated. Adults are found in swampy, low-statured Metrosideros rain forest at 610 m and 1200 m on Kauai I. The nymphs occur in small obscure shaded pools within the swamp....

Geodolite measurements of deformation near Hollister, California, 1971-1978
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott, Michael Lisowski, N. King
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 7599-7615
A 24‐station trilateration network spanning the San Andreas and Calaveras faults near Hollister, California, has been surveyed each year between 1971 and 1978, inclusive. Two moderate (ML = 5) earthquakes have occurred within the network during the interval. No convincing preseismic or coseismic anomalies associated with those earthquakes have been identified....
Deformation across the Salton Trough, California, 1973-1977
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott, Michael Lisowski, N. King
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 3069-3079
A trilateration network extending across the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Elsinore faults in the vicinity of the Salton Sea, California, has been surveyed to very high precision several times in the 5‐year interval 1973–1977. The average strain across the entire network is essentially a uniaxial north‐south contraction at the...
Strain accumulation rates in the western United States between 1970 and 1978

The rate of dilatation and the rate and direction of shear have been determined from trilateration data for 23 Geodolite networks in the western United States. Sixteen nets are located along the San Andreas fault system between Point Reyes, California, and the United States‐Mexico border. Other locations are across the...
Geodimeter measurements of strain during the Southern California Uplift
James C. Savage, W.H. Prescott
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research B: Solid Earth (84) 171-177
A review of geodimeter measurements made along the ‘big‐bend’ section of the San Andreas fault in southern California indicates no significant increment in strain during the period of major uplift (late 1959 to mid‐1963). Specifically, no evidence of an increment in compressional strain normal to the San Andreas fault at...

Recent crustal uplift in Yellowstone National Park

1979, Science (206) 1179-1182
Comparison of precise leveling measurements made in 1923 with those made in 1975, 1976, and 1977 reveals that the 600,000-year-old Yellowstone caldera is being uplifted relative to its surroundings. Maximum relative uplift since 1923 is in excess of 700 millimeters - about 14 millimeters vertically per year. The most likely...
