Cartographers UTAH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 2363 South Foothill Drive Salt Lake City, Utah 84109-1491 THE UTAH GEOLOGICAL SURVEY is organized into three geologic programs with Administration, Editorial, and Computer Resources providing necessary support to the programs. The ECONOMIC GEOLOGY PROGRA~ undertakes studies to identify coal, geothermal, uranium, hydrocarbon, and industrial and metallic mineral resources; to initiate detailed studies of the above resources including mining district and field studies; to develop computerized resource data bases; to answer state, federal, and industry requests for information; and to encourage the prudent development of Utah's geologic resources. The APPLIED GEOLOGY PROGRAM responds to requests from local and state governmental entities for engineering geologic investigations; and identiftes, documents, and interprets Utah's geologic hazards. The GEOLOGIC MAPPING PROG RAM maps the bedrock and surficial geology of the state at a regional scale by county and at a more detailed scale by quadrangle. Information Geologists answer inquiries from the public and provide information about Utah's geology in a non-technical format. THE UGS manages a library which is open to the public and contains many reference works on Utah geology and many unpublished documents on aspects of Utah geology by UGS staff and others. The UGS has begun several computer data bases with information on mineral and energy resources, geologic hazards, stratigraphic sections, and bibliographic references. Most files may be viewed by using the UGS Library. The UGS also manages a sample library which contains core, cuttings, and soil samples from mineral and petroleum drill holes and engineering geology investigations. Samples may be viewed at the Sample Library or requested as a loan for outside study. The UGS publishes the results of its investigations in the form of maps, reports, and compilations of data that are accessible to the public.

Lund Utah Geological Survey FOREWORD The Utah Geological Survey is mandated to gather, interpret, and distribute information on Utah's geology, geologic hazards, topography, and geologic resources. Such information is essential to the public, industry, resource managers, scientists, and decision makers of all kinds. We as scientists and as public servants have not adequately fulfilled our assigned task until the results of UGS studies are communicated effectively to our intended audiences in a clear, concise, and understandable manner. To that end, the UGS is committed to producing geologic reports of the greatest accuracy and highest quality, regardless of whether the report is a lengthy monograph or a one-page memorandum. This Guide for the Preparation of Reports for the Utah Geological Survey will assist UGS authors in producing geologic reports of the required clarity and quality. The Guide presents the policies governing the writing, review, and publication of UGS reports, and provides consistent editorial standards to help authors with the "nuts and bolts" of report preparation. Although extensive, the Guide is neither exhaustive nor dogmatic. Utah Geological Survey authors are expected to be as diligent and creative in writing their reports as they are in planning and conducting their geologic studies. This Guide is intended to allow authors the flexibility to be creative, while ensuring that all UGS reports share the basic elements of our publication style in common. How quickly a report moves through the UGS review and publication process will, in some measure, depend on how well authors incorporate these style elements in their manuscripts. I strongly encourage all authors writing for the UGS to familiarize themselves with the contents of this Guide and to refer to it often as they prepare their own reports or review the work of their colleagues.

  • 1 Construction and Verification of A
    1 Construction and Verification of a Wasatch Front Community Velocity Model: Collaborative Research with San Diego State University and the University of Utah Final Technical Report Harold Magistrale Jim Pechmann Kim Olsen San Diego State University University of Utah Award numbers 05HQGR0006 and 05HQGR0011 06HQGR0009 and 06HQGR0012 2 Introduction. A fundamental problem in assessing seismic hazard from an active fault zone is determining the distribution, amplitude, frequency characteristics, and duration of strong ground motion from potential future earthquakes. This task becomes more difficult when accounting for the influence of 3D geologic structures, such as sediment-filled basins. The population of Utah is concentrated in such basins at the foot of the Wasatch Front, with 40% of the population residing in the Salt Lake basin. The Wasatch Front is formed by the active, normal Wasatch fault, the most prominent potential source of future large earthquakes in the area. Evaluation of the seismic hazard requires numerical ground motion simulations to quantify the contribution of deep basin structure and shallow site conditions to ground motions. A key requirement to perform these simulations is the availabilty of a 3D Wasatch Front community seismic velocity model (CVM). With NEHRP support we have developed an initial version of the community velocity model. The CVM has been developed in consultation with the Utah Ground-Shaking Working Group (UGSWG), a NEHRP-supported effort spearheaded by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS). CVM Construction Method. In creating the Wasatch Front CVM, we followed the method that Magistrale et al. (2000) used to construct the SCEC southern California CVM. Both models consist of detailed, rule-based representations of the major populated sediment-filled basins, embedded in a 3D crust, over a variable depth Moho, over upper mantle velocities.

Kirby, Stuart Simmons, Paul C. Inkenbrandt, and Stan Smith ABSTRACT The FORGE deep drill site is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Milford in Beaver County, Utah, on the eastern side of Milford Valley. Shallow groundwater in the study area resides in an unconsolidated basin-fill aquifer that blankets older rock units including the crystalline basement rocks that will host the FORGE EGS reservoir. The unconsolidated basin-fill aquifer supplies groundwater that is currently used for stock watering and fire suppression.

The Hurricane fault is a long, west-dipping normal fault with substantial late Cenozoic displacement within the structural and seismic transition between the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range province. Previous reconnaissance studies of the fault in northern Arizona and southern Utah had documented evidence of late Quaternary activity.
