Applied Surficial Geology Program: Aggregate Potential Mapping, Squamish Area

This paper outlines a new program of the British Columhia Geological Surbey Branch in the field of applied surficial geology. Its oh.jectivcs are to develop methodologies whereby informatiw from about 2000 existing surficial geology maps, in conjunction with subsurface data, can he used to produce derivative products in applied fields such as aggre@xte resource\. neological hazards, waste dispo...

Marine Geology

To constrain the timing of rifting in the western, eastern, and northern parts of the Alboran Sea basin, seismic reflectors, corresponding to biostratigraphic boundaries and unconformities from the Miocene to Recent, are correlated using synthetic seismograms. Regions of adjacent coeval compression and extension are found in the Alboran Sea basin. Normal faulting continues in parts of the easte...

The Journal of Geology

As magmas rise toward the surface, they traverse regions of the mantle and crust with which they are not in equilibrium; to the extent that time and the intimacy of their physical contact permit, the melts and country rocks will interact chemically. We have modeled aspects of these chemical interactions in terms of ion-exchange processes similar to those operating in simple chromatographic colu...

The Geology of Vesta

The Dawn spacecraft collected over 28,000 images and a wealth of spectral data of Vesta’s surface. These data enable analysis of Vesta’s diverse geology including impact craters of all sizes and unusual shapes, a variety of ejecta blankets, large troughs, impact basins, enigmatic dark material, and considerable evidence for mass wasting and surface alteration processes [1,2,3]. Two large impact...
