The landslide hazard in the San Francisco Bay region
Development in hilly or mountainous terrain has resulted in much landslide damage. Areas susceptible to landsliding can be recognized. Practices for minimizing landslides are presented.

Report of status of Reactor Hazards Research Program: fiscal years 1976-1977
The Reactor Hazards Research Program is a Geological Survey program directed at expediting the safe siting and design of power reactors in the United States through topical and regional work on major geological hazards, particularly faulting, earthquake shaking, volcanism, and gross failure of foundation materials (table 1). It is complimentary to the more directed research sponsored by the Nuclea

Implications of a magnetic model of the Long Valley caldera, California
A quantitative magnetic model of Long Valley, California, shows that the magnetic field above this caldera is dominated by intracaldera Bishop tuff, part of the ash flow tuff whose eruption precipitated the caldera collapse. We propose that about half of the 350 km3 of intracaldera Bishop tuff, or that part beneath the resurgent dome, has been subjected to extensive hydrothermal alteration. The he

The area of influence of an exploratory hole
A method is presented for calculating the area of influence of exploratory drill holes by using the size and shape of resource targets. The solution presented is for elliptical and circular targets, but the method is applicable to any shaped target. The degree to which points have been explored depends upon their distance away from a drill hole and the possible orientations of the target. Several
