Quartz overgrowths on sandstone grains after clay formation, Nanushuk Group. Quartzose grains have overgrowths at points of low pressure (pore space) adjeacent to areas that were probably under high pressure (grain contacts). Overgrowths probably develop where clay coatings are absent. A polycrystalline quartz grain (upper left) has a pod of kaolinite growing on its surface. Sample 78ACh23, Kurupa anticline; magnification, 6.3 x 10, photomicrograph. Central North Slope, Alaska. Published as Figure 47A in U.S. Geological Survey. Bulletin 1614. 1985.

Seismology and Seismometry.U.S. Geological Survey National Earthquake Information Center. A develocorder records signals from fifteen stations on a continuous reel of film. This is processed by the machine and is ready for viewing within eleven minutes of an event. Photo by R. McKenzie, pre-1977. Page 10 (upper photo), Earthquake Information Bulletin, v.9, no.3.
Hawaii Earthquake November 1975. Surf surges through a palm grove near Halape as a result of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake. Photo by B. Morrison, November 1975. Cover, Earthquake Information Bulletin, v.8, no.6.
Interbedded volcanic sandstone and siltstone (dark) of the Ohanapecosh Formation, viewed from the east side of Backbone Ridge. Note the prominent ripple marks in the upper half of the photograph, the load casts of sandstone bulging downward into siltstone (upper center and at the base of the stratum partly obscured by a dark stain), and abundant flattened pumice lapilli in the sandstone bed extending across the center. Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. ca. 1959. Figure 16, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 444.

Death Valley National Park, California. Furnace Creek Formation at the north end of the Black Mountains. View is southwest and west of Zabriskie Point, an overlook by Highway 190 about 3 miles up Furnace Creek Wash from Furnace Creek Inn. The base of the Furnace Creek Formation is at the topographic break between the badlands and the rougher, higher ground in the distance on the left. Light-colored playa beds about 2,500 feet thick extend to the base of a conglomerate which forms the dark cliff at the right. The beds are dipping to the right (north) into the Texas Spring Syncline. The center of the photograph looks west across Death Valley to the Panamint Range at Aguereberry Point; Tucki Mountain on the right....

Fremont County, Colorado. Circa 1907. Plate 23, as a panorama with graphics, in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional paper 101. 1917.

Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) has conducted 1:63,360-scale geologic mapping of the Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle (640 square km�equivalent to four 7.5 minute quadrangles). This mapping project reinterprets micropaleontologic correlations for 17 Sagavanirktok Quadrangle wells, and reprocesses data from the one publicly-available seismic line. Surface geologic mapping, subsurface-to-surface stratigraphic age control, and seismic framework are required to reliably decipher the complex geology of this key area of the Brooks Range. Outcrops within the Sagavanirktok B-1 Quadrangle are the closest surface expressions of Prudhoe Bay source and reservoir rocks. This study yields critical petroleum-related...
One of the first government-sponsored demands for integrated assessment to support decision making in the United States is embodied in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Over the past 25 years, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has supported federal agencies’ in evaluating health and environmental impacts as required by NEPA. Many of ORNL’s efforts have focused on complex, programmatic assessments that break new ground and require and integrate expertise from a wide range of technical disciplines. Examples of ORNL projects that illustrate the use of integrated assessment approaches include environmental documentation for: (1) the Department of the Army’s Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program,...
