Our Logo is appropriately adapted from our host, the Coast Geological Society. Members of the CGS have formed the committees and worked tire- lessly to make this meeting an informative and enjoyable event. Please let them know you appreciate their efforts. With Technical Sessions, Exhibits, the Ice Breaker and Happy Hours all in- tertwined, the Marriott provides the perfect Venue for convenience and net- working opportunities. We are pleased to bring you a maximum amount of information, education and excitement in our condensed timeframe within this comfortable facility. Tom Hopps Please check your registration package carefully to ensure you have tickets for the events you selected. If you have overlooked an event and now wish to add one or more of these exciting experiences please check with the registration desk; there may still be spaces available. And while you’re here, you may also want to take advantage of some of the many vacation opportunities Ventura has to offer. We will be rewarded to witness your enjoyment as you participate fully in this meeting by the sea, the 2009 Convention of the Pacific Sections AAPG, SEPM and SEG. Tom Hopps General Chair 4 Pacific Sections AAPG • SEPM • SEG 2009 Annual Meeting Letter from the Hosting Society Welcome to Ventura, California If you have never attended an annual convention, this is the one to sign up for! There is so much to keep you busy, too many things to see and learn, and not enough time to do it all. The turn out for this year’s convention should be more than sufficient to fill the offered field trips and talks, so I encourage you to sign up as soon as possible to ensure a seat in the lecture hall, or on the appropriate boat or bus as the case might be. The Coast Geological Society (CGS) is one of the largest and most active of the PSAAPG local affiliates, with approximately 120 members attending our monthly meetings. I can personally say that all of our local geologists, teachers, and earth science aficionados are friendly, helpful, and knowl- David Panaro edgeable – and many will be at the convention or on field trips to help you CGS President 2008-2009 as needed. So don’t be afraid to ask questions, and hopefully make some lasting friends while you’re here. Ventura County has a lot to offer, so if you plan on bringing a significant other, a friend or two, or the whole family, there will be plenty to keep them busy while you are listening to a lecture or hanging out with colleagues. If you have a car or some mode of self transportation, there are hundreds of great restaurants to try, dozens of local theatres (live action or cinema), and a handful of very good local wineries to visit for a tasting or two. And don’t forget to see and visit our renowned local beaches. So if you are hesitating, or have already made up you mind to attend, please commit to making that reservation – I guarantee you will not regret one of those great experiences of a lifetime – a visit to Ventura, California for the best learning and vacation opportunity ever! Pacific Sections AAPG • SEPM • SEG 2009 Annual Meeting 5 Letter from the PSAAPG Welcome to Ventura, California Ventura is the place to be! General Chairman Tom Hopps and his Convention Com- mittee have planned a remarkable Annual Meeting for us. There will be many tech- nical sessions, two short courses and four field trips along with panel discussions. The exhibit area will be filled with the latest technological wonders for all to see and we have incredible luncheon speakers. What more could you want? Oh yeah, we are on the beach! We have an exciting technical session. Monday starts with a session on New In- sights in Historic Oil and Gas Production Areas. This is joined by sessions on Global Climate Change, Exploration Technology, Sedimentology, Exploration Technology, Structural Geology and Energy and Minerals of the Pacific Region. Tuesday brings us a special session commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology. AAPG President Dr. Scott Tinker leads the BEG and he will be Don Clarke there too. Don’t miss this chance to meet him. Sessions on Modern Sea-Floor and Quaternary Turbidite Systems and the California Offshore Oil and Gas Development Potential, Linking Modern to Ancient Turbidite Systems along with a strong poster session should satisfy your hunger for knowledge. Two Short Courses will provide you with the latest on “Formation Testing in the 21st Century” and “An Introduction to Geomechanics and Acoustics.” Follow that urge for adventure and take one of the field trips. You can learn about the Cretaceous and Eocene Turbidite Systems in the Transverse Ranges, the Pliocene Turbidites of the Ventura Basin or the Unique Sedimentary Environments in the Transverse Ranges. Finally, you can take the boat out to observe the offshore oil seeps and watch for whales. Plan to take some extra time and enjoy the surroundings. The Jazz Festival will be held simultaneously with the convention. A short drive will take you to downtown Ventura where you can visit the Mission and go antiquing along Main Street. A visit to nearby Santa Paula will allow you to visit the Oil Museum in the old Union Oil Headquarters. If you are looking for scenery you might try Ojai. On Sunday May 3rd you can join the official convention bike ride to Ojai. For bargains try the Oxnard Outlet stores. The beach is just behind the hotel. Our Keynote Speaker is Dr. Stephen Chazen, President and Chief Financial Officer of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. Dr. Chazen will talk to us on Issues Facing Domestic Oil and Gas Producers from his unique position at the helm of California’s largest independent oil company. On Tuesday Mr. Kevin Rich, CEO of Deutsche Bank LLC, will speak at the DPA luncheon on Energy and Investment Access. Come join your friends and fellow geologists for a fantastic meeting in Ventura! 6 Pacific Sections AAPG • SEPM • SEG 2009 Annual Meeting Thank you to the following companies for their generous contributions and support of the Pacific Section AAPG - SEPM - SEG Annual Meeting SPONSORS RUBY LEVE L $5000 - $9000 Aera Energy LLC is one of California’s largest oil and gas producers, accounting for approximately 30% of the state’s production. With headquarters in Bakersfield, most of Aera’s production is centered in the San Joaquin Valley. The company also has oilfield operations in the L.A. Basin and in Ventura and Monterey Counties. Aera produces approximately 165,000 barrels of oil and 50 million cubic feet of natural gas each day and has proved oil and gas reserves equivalent to approximately 800 million barrels of oil. The company, which began operating as Aera Energy LLC on June 1, 1997, consists of the California onshore and offshore exploration and production assets previously operated by Shell, Mobil, and ARCO. Today Aera is jointly owned by Shell and ExxonMobil and is operated as a stand-alone company through its own board of managers (directors). The California-based refining, retail petroleum marketing and pipeline operations of Shell and ExxonMobil are not included inAera. RUBY LEVE L $5000 - $9000 Chevron Corporation is one of the world’s leading integrated energy companies.

The northeast­ ward projections of these lineaments intersect the continental area of western Washington, hence are of potential significance to the tectonics of the Pacific Northwest region. Pavoni (1966) suggested that these lineaments were left-lateral faults, and that the Columbia, 280 km in length, had 52 km of offset, and the Destruction, with a length of 370 km, had 75 km of offset. Based on Vine's (1968) correlation of the magnetic anomalies mapped in this area by Raff and Mason (1961), with the magnetic reversal time scale, Silver (1971b, p.

  • The Catalina Triangle — Magnificence & Mystery Meet Mayhem & Murder Most Foul Off the Souther California Coast
    THE CATALINA TRIANGLE — MAGNIFICENCE & MYSTERY MEET MAYHEM & MURDER MOST FOUL OFF THE SOUTHER CALIFORNIA COAST Dedicated to the many men and women who have lost their lives in the Catalina Triangle by Ned Madden, San Clemente, Calif. – 2017 * * * “…The lure of the sea is some strange magic that makes men love what they fear. Death on the shifting barren sands seems less insupportable to the imagination than death out on the boundless ocean, in the awful, windy emptiness. Man's bones yearn for dust.” — Zane Grey "If a life is taken close to the 33rd Parallel North, this fits with the Masons’ demonic mythology in which they demonstrate their worldly power by spilling human blood at a predetermined locale." — "Masons and Mystery at the Parallel" by Day Williams (Anti-Freemason Christian writer) A bee on a balloon and a kite on the moon … The Catalina Triangle … a 1,200-square-mile pie-slice-shaped wedge of Pacific Ocean off the OC coast in between Dana Point, Santa Catalina and San Clemente islands … works in mysterious ways, and, yeh, I did once look up to glimpse that very real and singular close-bee- balloon/far-kite-moon visual floating before my eyes as I walked along the Capo Beach strand. No surprise. I’ve come to expect Catalina Triangle strangeness – like the Avalon “sleepkiller,” the 33rd Parallel/“Bloodline of the Earth” link, Natalie Wood and Phil Hartman, St. John Capistrano: “Scourge of the Jews,” sado-masochistic padres and blood-soaked natives, ghosts and pirates, a 30-kiloton nuke, mountain ranges spun sideways, sinking islands and northwest- trending fault epicentrum, Borderland and Bight, Gyre and eddy, countercurrent and undercurrent, earthquake and tsunami, moonscape sea craters and underwater knoll oases, Navy SEALs’ bin Laden-killing fake city, a real building made of human bones, largest animal (with the largest penis, a ten-footer) ever to draw breath and spout water vapor (the animal, not the organ) in the long sweep of phallic time on Mother Earth herself … beginning-of-life stuff.
