Landslides - Cause and effect
D. H. Radbruch-Hall, D. J. Varnes
1976, Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology (13) 205-216
Landslides can cause seismic disturbances; landslides can also result from seismic disturbances, and earthquake-induced slides have caused loss of life in many countries. Slides can cause disastrous flooding, particularly when landslide dams across streams are breached, and flooding may trigger slides. Slope movement in general is a major process of...
Gravitational spreading of steep-sided ridges ("sackung") in western United States
D. H. Radbruch-Hall, D. J. Varnes, W. Z. Savage
1976, Bulletin of the International Association of Engineering Geology (13) 23-35
Large-scale gravitational spreading and movement along fractures of steep-sided ridges in the mountainous areas of the western United States are characterized by linear fissures, trenches, and uphill-facing scarps on tops and sides of ridges. Spreading appears to take place by movement along disconnected planes and/or by...

1976, Nature (263) 738-740
Fission-track dating of zircon separated from two pumice samples from the KBS Tuff in the Koobi Fora Formation, in Area 131, East Rudolf, Kenya, gives an age of 2.44±0.08 Myr for the eruption of the pumice. This result is compatible with the previously published K–Ar and 40Ar/39Ar...
An investigation of the critical liquid-vapor properties of dilute KCl solutions
R.W. Potter II, R.S. Babcock, G.K. Czamanske
1976, Journal of Solution Chemistry (5) 223-230
The three parameters that define the critical point, temperature, pressure, and volume have been experimentally determined by means of filling studies in a platinum-lined system for five KCl solutions ranging from 0.006 to 0.568m. The platinum-lined vessels were used to overcome the problems with corrosion experienced...

[Book review] American sportsmen and the origins of conservation
Richard C. Banks
1976, The Auk (93) 864-865
The relationship of this book to ornithology is so indirect that the work barely merits a review on these pages. In a rather subtle way, however, the book may have a considerable effect on at least one aspect of ornithology, that involving scientific collecting. In essence, the volume is an...
