The coupon/calls may also be used for requesting individual receipt. LS/2000, the Library System's computer capability, has a new search access point to aid Survey researchers. It is a form subject heading called USGSPUB, and it will provide a listing of all publications issued by the Survey that are on the database. All current titles being cataloged have the tag added, and we are in the process of adding it retrospectively to titles already in the database. The goal is to be able to retrieve all USGS publications by use of this subject search device. The LS/2000 staff is preparing an error reporting form for users. If you will let us know of errors you find in the database, the staff will correct them, to the benefit of all. Look for the forms at the public access terminals. As frequently occurs in conjunction with incidents in lesser known parts of the world, the U. S. air strike on Libya resulted in a surge of requests to the Library System for information, including one for maps from the NBC Washington Evening News. The Reston Library posts large maps of areas in the earth science news on the bulletin board immediately to the right of the main entrance to the Library. The current display is of the Chernobyl, Russia area. The Reston Library has a translation.service covering French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. Work is currently done in-house by Nora Tamberg and Dorothy Vitaliano. In calendar year 1987, the capability will be supplemented by contracts. Contact Carol Messick, 6089, for arrangements. On May 2, Michael Kubisiak retired from the USGS Library System after 29 years of Federal service. Mike had presided over the acquisitions operations of the Library for about 18 years. The Library Staff honored Mike with a farewell "bash" on Friday, May 2, at which Henry Spall, Associate Chief of OSP, presented him with a Superior Service Award. Mike's in-depth knowledge of acquisitions and his infectious good humor will be greatly missed. Margaret (Peggy) Merryman has been named Acting Chief, Exchange and Order Section, (acquisitions) effective May 5, 1986. STAFF BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES Harry Allan, Interlibrary Loan Technician, has been with the Reston library since July, 1983. He has a B.S. in Political Science from Catawba College, Salisbury, N.C. Harry's work is part of our resource sharing with other 1ibraries. Karla Anderson joined the Reston staff in 1979 working during the summers as a Junior Federal Fellow. After receiving her B.A. in French from the College of William and Mary in 1983 she became a full-time senior technician in the Exchange and Order Section. Karla's work is part of our collection management program. In her free time she also volunteers as an usher at the Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts. Libraries in the Geological Survey Library System are located in the Eastern, Central, and Western Regions. Personnel whose duty station is other than Reston, Denver, Menlo Park or Flagstaff, may borrow items by completing an Accessions List Loan Request form and mailing it to the Survey Library in their Region if the item is available there or to the nearest Survey Library holding the item if it is not. Personnel whose duty station is Res ton, Denver, Menlo Park or Flagstaff should continue to request items as they are accustomed to doing. If a library is unable to fill a request immediately because its copy of the item is charged out or otherwise unavailable for loan, the request will be forwarded to any Survey Library which may be able to supply a copy. If no copy is available for immediate loan, the requester's name will be placed on a waiting list and the publication dispatched as soon as it becomes available. Publications with a waiting list are loaned for two weeks only; those without are loaned for thirty days. If there is no waiting list, the loan period may be extended by contacting the lending library prior to the expiration of the loan period and requesting a renewal. In filling out the Loan Request form, it is essential that requesters include their (1) Division/Office/Branch affiliation, (2) complete mailing address, and (3) phone numbers, both commercial and FTS. Typing or printing such information will help avoid unnecessary delays in processing requests. Loan Request forms will be found at the end of each List; they should be duplicated if additional copies are required. A separate form should be used for each item requested. Questions regarding entries in the List or the information to be supplied on the Loan Request form should be referred to the Library located in the same Region as the requester's duty station.

  • Chapter 3 Ground Survey
    Chapter 3 Ground Survey Chapter 3 Ground Survey 3.1 Drilling, Laboratory Tests The outline of the lithologic structure in Yerevan can be understood by the geological maps and the collected drilling database, which contains 5,094 logs; however, the data concerning the S wave velocity for the amplification analysis and the soil properties for the liquefaction analysis are not enough. To collect these data, 10 drillings were newly conducted in Yerevan and several tests were conducted using these boreholes. The quantities of the tests are shown in Table 3.1-1. Table 3.1-1 Quantities of Tests Category Quantities Drilling 30m x 10 Groundwater Level Measurement 10 Standard Penetration Test 129 Disturbed Soil Sampling 116 Laboratory Test 116 The drilling points are mainly set to the area where the Quaternary deposits cover because it is effective for the amplification of the earthquake motion by the ground and liquefaction potential. The geologic condition of Yerevan was estimated as follows from the existing information. The rock layer may be shallow in the northern area and the soft soils cover the southern area. Therefore, the selected newly boring points locate in the south of Yerevan city (Figure 3.1-1). The surface soils of each drilling points are shown in Table 3.1-1. The drilling logs are shown in Data Book. The example of drilling log is shown in Figure 3.1-1. 3-1 Final Report Vol. II Main Report 1 Figure 3.1-1 Location of drilling points Table 3.1-2 Surface geology of the drilling points Quaternary layer Symbol Age No.

  • Volcanic Hazards in the Region of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant

Karakhanian a;Ã, R. Jrbashyan b, V. Trifonov c, H. Philip d, S. Arakelian a, A. Avagyan a, H. Baghdassaryan a, V. Davtian a, Yu. Ghoukassyan b a GEORISK Scienti¢c Research Company, Yerevan, Armenia b Institute of Geological Sciences, National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, Yerevan, Armenia c Geological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia d Montpellier-II University, Montpellier, France Received 1 February 2003; accepted 16 March 2003 Abstract We address volcanic hazards in the region of the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant and discuss the assessment of these hazards conducted in the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) programs in 1994^ 1995. An important problem of volcanic hazard assessment is posed by assumptions that the apparent absence of recent volcanic activity in Armenia means that future eruptions in the vicinity of the site are impossible. We present new historical, archaeological, and field data, as well as records of the volcanic activity based on radiocarbon, fission- track, K/Ar and plateau-age determinations. This new evidence attests to volcanism in Armenia and adjacent areas during Holocene and historical time. Volcanic activity is demonstrated for Tskhouk-Karckar, Porak, Vaiyots-Sar, Smbatassar, Gegham Ridge and Ararat volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions occurred on Ararat at distances of 27 and 52 km from the plant site in 2500^2400 BC and in 1840 AD, respectively. New information permits a re-assessment of the volcanic hazards at a level higher than in the 1994^1995 studies.

  • Review of Middle East Paleozoic Plate Tectonics
    GeoArabia, Vol. 12, No. 3, 2007 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Middle East Paleozoic Plate Tectonics Review of Middle East Paleozoic plate tectonics Dmitry A. Ruban, Moujahed I. Al-Husseini and Yumiko Iwasaki ABSTRACT The Paleozoic Middle East terranes, neighboring the present-day Arabian and Levant plates, are shown by most authors to consist of ten major tectonic units: (1 and 2) the Helmand and Farah terranes of Afghanistan, southwest Pakistan and southeast Turkmenistan; (3 to 6) the Alborz, Central Iran (Lut, Yazd and Tabas) and Sanandaj- Sirjan terranes of Iran, and Northwest Iran (possibly extending into eastern Turkey); (7 and 8) the Pontides and Taurides terranes of Turkey; and (9 and 10) the Greater and Lesser Caucasus terranes between the Caspian and Black seas (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and southwest Russia). Published plate-tectonic reconstructions indicate that all ten terranes may have broken off from either: (1) the Gondwana Supercontinent in the mid-Silurian as part of the Hun Superterrane; or (2) the Pangea Supercontinent during the mid-Permian - Triassic as part of the Cimmeria Superterrane. To the north of Gondwana and Pangea, three successively younger Tethyan oceans evolved: (1) Proto-Tethys (Cambrian - Devonian); (2) Paleo-Tethys (mid-Silurian - Mesozoic); and (3) Neo-Tethys (mid-Permian - Cenozoic). Two regional Paleozoic unconformities in the Arabian Plate are generally linked to major regional-scale structural events, and commonly correlated to the Caledonian and Hercynian orogenies. These orogenies took place many thousands of kilometers away from the Arabian Plate and are considered unlikely causes for these unconformities. Instead, the breakaway of the Hun and Cimmeria superterranes are considered as alternative near-field tectonic sources.

    Lake Sevan Experience and Lessons Learned Brief Araik Babayan, Land Use Planning Institute, Yerevan, Armenia Susanna Hakobyan, Institute of Hydroecology and Ichthyology of the National Academy of Sciences, Yerevan, Armenia Karen Jenderedjian*, Ministry of Nature Protection, Yerevan, Armenia, [email protected] Siranush Muradyan, Ministry of Nature Protection, Yerevan, Armenia Mikhail Voskanov, Ministry of Nature Protection, Yerevan, Armenia * Corresponding author 1. Description of Lake Sevan infl uenced an array of hydrological and ecological conditions at the lakeshore and in the lake. The most important of these are: Lake Sevan (Figure 1) is situated in the northern part of the draining of the wetlands, worsening of the water quality, the Armenian Volcanic Highland, in Gegharkhounik Marz changed species succession, and biodiversity loss. Lake Sevan (province), 60 km to the north from the capital of Armenia, is the most important source of fresh water and freshwater fi sh Yerevan (Figure 2). Lake Sevan is the greatest lake of the in the Transcaucasus Region. The importance of Lake Sevan Caucasus Region and one of the greatest freshwater high- in the economy of Armenia can scarcely be exaggerated: it mountain lakes of Eurasia. The basin of Lake Sevan makes up is the main source of irrigation water and provides low cost one sixth of the total territory of Armenia. A peculiarity of Lake electricity, fi sh, recreation, and tourism. Sevan includes that the small ratio between the catchment and surface area of the lake is only 3:1, compared to other major Lake Sevan and the wetlands of the basin are signifi cant lakes (10:1 on average).

  • Diamonds from the Ural Mountains: Their Characteristics and the Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Their Inclusions
    Diamonds from the Ural Mountains: their characteristics and the mineralogy and geochemistry of their inclusions Fernando A. T. P. Laiginhas, B.Sc. (Hons.) Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) University of Glasgow Department of Geographical and Earth Sciences December 2008 © Fernando A. T. P. Laiginhas, 2008 Abstract Abstract This thesis has investigated the geological origin of diamonds from the Ural Mountains. A set of inclusion-bearing diamonds from alluvial deposits in the western part of the Urals was characterised on the basis of their morphological features, nitrogen contents and nitrogen aggregation states, carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, mineral inclusion geochemistry and radiometric isotopic ages of the inclusions. The vast majority of the studied diamonds are rounded dodecahedra, which indicates that the diamond population has experienced major resorption after crystallisation. The majority of the diamonds are affected by radiation damage and display evidence of transportation. Non-abraded diamonds exhibit similar surface features to those abraded, so they are probably of similar origin. The studied inclusion-bearing set of diamonds shares some characteristics with the overall, mostly inclusion-free, diamond population from the Ural Mountains. This similarity in physical characteristics strongly suggests that the Ural diamonds are all part of a single population. A Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy study allowed both the concentration of nitrogen and the aggregation states of this element to be quantified. Diamonds from other known primary deposits in the East European Craton (EEC) have FTIR signatures that do not match that of the studied population. Nitrogen thermometry results suggest that the Ural diamonds probably crystallised under similar pressure-temperature conditions.
