Results of a reconnaissance microearthquake survey of Bucaramanga, Colombia

Six University of Wisconsin portable, continuously‐recording seismographs were operated for 3½ days in late 1976 in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia in a 200‐km‐diameter array around Bucaramanga, where there are also three permanent stations of the Instituto Geofísico de Los Andes Colombianos. Twenty‐seven microearthquakes were recorded. Most can be well located. Only one event, located along th

Reply to discussion by Michael A. Collins, "Fresh ground water stored in aquifers under the continental shelf: implications from a deep test, Nantucket Island, Massachusetts"

We appreciate the comments made in the discussion by Michael A. Collins, regarding our paper about the anomalously low salinity of water underlying Nantucket Island. However, we feel that in his effort to justify the mathematical approach for solving salt water intrusion problems, he has overlooked several of the major points in this paper. We will try to amplify these points to

Preliminary geomagnetic data, College Observatory, Fairbanks, Alaska: March 1979

The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory; therefore it should be regarded as preliminary.
