Program to prepare standard figures for grade-tonnage models on a Macintosh
Grade-tonnage models are frequency distributions of deposit tonnage and grades of mineral deposits of a specific type. The program described here allows users to prepare standard figures of grade and tonnage distributions and display the deposit name associated with any of the data points. Titles and scales appropriate for most deposit types are plotted automatically for tonnage, Cu, Ni, Sn, Nb, W

Recent geophysical and geological research in Antarctica related to the assessment of petroleum resources and potential environmental hazards to their development
During the 6-year negotiation of and adoption of the Convention on the Regulation of Antarctic Mineral Resources Activities on June 2, 1988, various countries have increased their attention to the possibility of exploitation of Antarctica's petroleum resources, which are covered by this treaty. However, there are no known petroleum resources in Antarctica, and scientific information is lacking to

Review of paleomagnetic data from the Klamath Mountains, Blue Mountains, and Sierra Nevada; Implications for paleogeographic reconstructions
Paleomagnetic studies of the Klamath Mountains, Blue Mountains, Sierra Nevada, and northwestern Nevada pertain mostly to Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks, but some data also are available for Permian and Triassic rocks of the region. Large vertical-axis rotations are indicated for rocks in many of the terranes, but few studies show statistically significant latitudinal displacements. The most complet

Ross Sea
Eight short-wavelength, seismically defined penetrative structures having associated 1- to 5-km-wide magnetic anomalies (Table A. 12.1) in the western Ross Sea (Figure A. 12.1) are interpreted as volcanic in origin. Modeled anomalies fitted to the observed data and constrained by 24-fold seismic reflection profiles support the interpretation of these submarine volcanoes.Anomaly a (Figure A. 12.1)
