Scope Geograehic:. The prpject's entral ge?graph~c foc~s is the Puget Lowland, primarily Whatcom, Skagit,7 Snohomish, King, K1tsap, Thurston, Pierce, Mason, Clark, Cowlitz, Grays Harbor. and Island Counties, and the metropolitan Portland, Oregon, area. Studies of three other areas were included in order to increase the understanding of the targeted areas: (1) The Cascade mountains, because of the 1872 earthquake, the St. Helens seismic zone, and the recent eruptions of Mount St. Helens; ( 2} The Olympic Peninsula and offshore areas, because of current research on subduction-zone earthquakes; and (3) Southwestern British Columbia (primarily southern Vancouver Island and the metropolitan Vancouver area) because of the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake and the extensive geologic research currently being done in this area. Subject: The goal of the bibliography has been inclusion of all studies that could shed light on the causes and{or) effects of earthquakes in western Washington. Thus, the bibliography emphasizes the seismology, geophysics, and earthquake-related hazards of the targeted geographic areas and includes studies of structural geology and tectonics, glacial geology, geochronology, slope stability, soil mechanics, and other pertinent subjects. Organization This work consists of three parts: (1} AUTHOR BIBLIOGRAPHY--Each citation is given in full and is listed alphabetically by author. Joint-author cross references are interfiled. (2) SUBJECT INDEX--Items are indexed alphabetically by subject, political and geographic area, and formation name, with subject and(or) areal subdivisions as appropriate. We have tried to provide the maximum usefulness in a brief format. Therefore: -- materials are listed both by subject subdivided by area (for example, EARTHQUAKES AND SEISMOLOGY - WASHINGTON - KING CO.) and, by area subdivided by subject (for example, KING CO. - EARTHQUAKES AND SEISMOLOGY). V only the author(s), date, and title of the citations are given. items with the same author(s) and title issued more than once (for example, as both a thesis and an abstract) are listed only once under the Subject Heading and marked with an asterisk (*). (3) SUBJECT INDEX TERMS--The full list of all headings and cross references used in the Subject Index is given. Used headings are in upper case (e.g., ENGINEERING GEOLOGY - WASTE DISPOSAL); cross reference headings are in lower case (e.g., Landfills, see ENGINEERING GEOLOGY - WASTE DISPOSAL). The county or physiographic province of most specific locations is noted, e.g., ABERDEEN WASH. (Grays Harbor Co.) Procedures The bibliography includes more than 4,000 citations. These have been drawn from: (1) The bibliographies (now on-line) on Washington geology published by the Division of Geology and Earth Resources (OGER): Bennett, 1937; Reichert, 1960; Reichert, 1969; Manson and Burnetti, 1983; Manson, 1986;. (2) New citations added to the OGER data base between June 1, 1986 and June 30, 1988. (3) The bibliographies on Oregon geology published by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries: Treasher and Hodge, 1936; Allen and others, 1947; Steere, 1953; Steere and Owen, 1962; Roberts, 1970; Roberts and others, 1973; Hulick and AGI, GeoRef, 1978; Burnetti and Neuendorf, 1981; Neuendorf, 1987. (4) The bibliography of the Quaternary geology of British Columbia (Cl ague, 1987). (5) Searches of the NTIS data base (for Washington) and of the GeoRef data base (for the Portland, Oregon, area). (6) Library research at the OGER library, the University of Washington library, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers library, and the offices of the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. (7) A draft bibliography in preparation by L. L. Noson and others. The OGER citations were downloaded to form the core of the file. Items from the other sources were identified, obtained, inqexed, and entered into this data base file. Approximately 98 percent of the items included in this bibliography are held in the OGER library collection.

    [RADIOCARBON, VOL. 8, 1966, P. 161-203] ISOTOPES, INC. RADIOCARBON MEASUREMENTS V MILTON A. TRAUTMAN and ERIC H. WILLIS Isotopes, Inc., Westwood, New Jersey INTRODUCTION This list presents dates on samples measured at Isotopes, Inc., dur- ing the years 1963 to 1965 and measurements made previously for which sample data has been recently received. The many results which do not appear are withheld pending additional information or at the request of our clients. Procedures employed in sample pretreatment, preparation of CO2, and method of counting are generally unchanged, as are our methods of age calculation. Suitable bone samples are now pretreated by the method of Berger, Harney and Libby (1964). In May, 1965, the three counters and associated electronics previ- ously described (Isotopes I, II, III) were retired after producing well over 2000 radiocarbon dates, geophysical measurements, and ultralow- level C14 measurements. A completely new laboratory was activated em- ploying four new counters. Shielding consists of 31 cm of selected low- background steel, 10 cm paraffin and 2.5 cm "aged" lead. Each counter has its own multianode annular anticoincidence geiger counter. Elec- tronics were designed and fabricated at Isotopes, Inc. The counters have an active volume of 1 L and when operated at a normal pressure of 3 atm, yield background counts of slightly over 2 counts j min, Aox x 0.95 is ca. 18.7 at 24° C. C13/C12 ratios are measured periodically by our mass spectrometry section, but not routinely on samples unless requested by clients.

  • Glossary Glossary

    Glossary Glossary

    Glossary Glossary Albedo A measure of an object’s reflectivity. A pure white reflecting surface has an albedo of 1.0 (100%). A pitch-black, nonreflecting surface has an albedo of 0.0. The Moon is a fairly dark object with a combined albedo of 0.07 (reflecting 7% of the sunlight that falls upon it). The albedo range of the lunar maria is between 0.05 and 0.08. The brighter highlands have an albedo range from 0.09 to 0.15. Anorthosite Rocks rich in the mineral feldspar, making up much of the Moon’s bright highland regions. Aperture The diameter of a telescope’s objective lens or primary mirror. Apogee The point in the Moon’s orbit where it is furthest from the Earth. At apogee, the Moon can reach a maximum distance of 406,700 km from the Earth. Apollo The manned lunar program of the United States. Between July 1969 and December 1972, six Apollo missions landed on the Moon, allowing a total of 12 astronauts to explore its surface. Asteroid A minor planet. A large solid body of rock in orbit around the Sun. Banded crater A crater that displays dusky linear tracts on its inner walls and/or floor. 250 Basalt A dark, fine-grained volcanic rock, low in silicon, with a low viscosity. Basaltic material fills many of the Moon’s major basins, especially on the near side. Glossary Basin A very large circular impact structure (usually comprising multiple concentric rings) that usually displays some degree of flooding with lava. The largest and most conspicuous lava- flooded basins on the Moon are found on the near side, and most are filled to their outer edges with mare basalts.

    Pre-Vashon Interglacial Deposit Investigation

    Investigation of a Pre-Vashon Interglacial Fine-Grained Organic-Rich Sedimentary Deposit, South Lake Union, Seattle, Washington Cody Gibson A report prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Earth and Space Sciences: Applied Geosciences University of Washington March 2017 Project Mentors: Kathy Troost, University of Washington Matt Smith, GeoEngineers Inc. Internship Coordinator: Kathy Troost Reading Committee: Kathy Troost Juliet Crider MESSAGe Technical Report Number: 56 ©Copyright Cody Gibson i Executive Summary This study evaluates a fine-grained interglacial deposit found in the subsurface of the South Lake Union (SLU) area, Seattle, Washington. The nearly one-square-km SLU study area is defined as north of Denny Way, south of Aloha Street, east of Aurora Avenue, and west of Interstate 5. The evaluation required an in-depth study of over 600 existing geotechnical and environmental boring logs found for the study area. My evaluation consisted of mapping the distribution, determining the depositional environment, and characterizing the organic-rich pre-Vashon deposits. The fine-grained organic-rich deposits correlate to the Olympia formation, which occurred prior to the last glaciation of the Puget Sound Lowland known as the Vashon. To characterize the subsurface conditions in SLU, I assigned the materials described on the boring logs to one of 3 basic layers: pre-Vashon, Olympia Formation (Qob), and Vashon. In the SLU, the Qob consists of grey silt with interbeds of sand and gravel, and has an abundance of organic debris including woody debris such as well-preserved logs and branches, fresh-water diatoms, and fresh-water aquatic deposits such as peat.

One main goal of the analysis is to determine how the success of the augmentation could differ depending on whether the fishers came from British Columbia versus; two genetically different source-populations. Using existing genotypes from British Columbia and Alberta fishers, this analysis will provide insights into the best source population of fishers to use for the planned augmentation to the Olympic National Park, where 90 fishers from British Columbia were reintroduced from 2008 to 2010. A 2019 genetic analysis of fishers on the Olympic Peninsula (based on hair samples collected at baited hair-snare and camera stations from 2013-2016) indicated that genetic diversity of the Olympic fisher population had declined slightly and would be expected to decline further in the future, which could put that population at risk. An augmentation of new fishers could restore this genetic diversity and this new analysis of the effects of releasing more British Columbia versus Alberta fishers into this population will help us decide the best source population and the best implementation approach. 2) Providing Recreation Opportunities Nothing for this installment. 3) Providing Conflict Prevention and Education Nothing for this installment. 4) Conserving Natural Areas Nothing for this installment.

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature

    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971.

    Large Impact Basins on Mercury: Global Distribution, Characteristics, and Modification History from MESSENGER Orbital Data Caleb I

    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 117, E00L08, doi:10.1029/2012JE004154, 2012 Large impact basins on Mercury: Global distribution, characteristics, and modification history from MESSENGER orbital data Caleb I. Fassett,1 James W. Head,2 David M. H. Baker,2 Maria T. Zuber,3 David E. Smith,3,4 Gregory A. Neumann,4 Sean C. Solomon,5,6 Christian Klimczak,5 Robert G. Strom,7 Clark R. Chapman,8 Louise M. Prockter,9 Roger J. Phillips,8 Jürgen Oberst,10 and Frank Preusker10 Received 6 June 2012; revised 31 August 2012; accepted 5 September 2012; published 27 October 2012. [1] The formation of large impact basins (diameter D ≥ 300 km) was an important process in the early geological evolution of Mercury and influenced the planet’s topography, stratigraphy, and crustal structure. We catalog and characterize this basin population on Mercury from global observations by the MESSENGER spacecraft, and we use the new data to evaluate basins suggested on the basis of the Mariner 10 flybys. Forty-six certain or probable impact basins are recognized; a few additional basins that may have been degraded to the point of ambiguity are plausible on the basis of new data but are classified as uncertain. The spatial density of large basins (D ≥ 500 km) on Mercury is lower than that on the Moon. Morphological characteristics of basins on Mercury suggest that on average they are more degraded than lunar basins. These observations are consistent with more efficient modification, degradation, and obliteration of the largest basins on Mercury than on the Moon. This distinction may be a result of differences in the basin formation process (producing fewer rings), relaxation of topography after basin formation (subduing relief), or rates of volcanism (burying basin rings and interiors) during the period of heavy bombardment on Mercury from those on the Moon.

Det stora arbete, som pågår, för att insamla och tyda Sveriges ortnamn, bör omfatta även de svenska namn, som finnas utanför rikets nuvarande gränser. Finland äger forskare i stånd att själva sörja för de uppgifter, som där behöva lösas; annorlunda ställer sig saken för Estlands vidkommande. Föreliggande undersökning, vars första del härmed framlägges, har satt sig före att sprida ljus över det svenska namnbeståndet i Estland och i sammanhang härmed bättre än hittills varit möjligt kartlägga den svenska bosättningens tidigare utbredning. Arbetets första del är ägnad landskapet Harrien, estn. Harjumaa, varvid början gjorts med denna provins östligare del och öarna vid in­ loppet till Reval (Tallinn). Sedan därpå den västra delen av detta landskap med Rågöarna och Vippal-Korkisbygden behandlats, skulle arbetet fortsätta med en monografi över den estländska svenskbygdens gamla kärnområden N uckö och Ormsö, vilkas namnbestånd tack vare Fridolf Isbergs i sista stund på ort och ställe igångsatta energiska insamlingsarbete nu blivit tillgängligt för vetenskaplig bearbetning. Slutligen skulle Dagö, Ösel med .Mohn (estn . .Muhu), de forna bosättningarna på cLet västliga fast­ landet samt Runö komma under behandling. Framställningen i den nu färdiga delen av mitt arbete är mycket utförligare än vad som plägar vara fallet med ortnamnsstudier. Orsakerna härtill äro flera.

Forfatteren har selv lært meget under skrivningen og håber, at den foreliggende afhandling kan være til gavn for såvel den lokalhistorisk interesserede som for den generelle diskussion af det sen­ middelalderlige samfund. Jeg siger tak for den støtte, som alle på Studieafdelingen og Dansk Centralbiblio­ tek har givet. Her i huset skabtes de bedst mulige arbejdsbetingelser. Mange gode råd har jeg modtaget fra lektor, dr. phil. Esben Albrectsen, lektor dr. phil. Poul Enemark, lektor Fritz Saaby-Petersen, ligesom samtaler på symposierne 'Land og by i middelalderen' har været mig til stor inspiration.
