Author: William R. LundPublisher: Utah Geological Survey
ISBN: 1557913706
Category : Faults (Geology)
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
The two reports in this Special Study provide critical geologic and paleoseismic information on the Oquirrh fault zone, a Quaternary fault in eastern Tooele County, west-central Utah. The Oquirrh fault zone has long been recognized as a potential source of large earthquakes which could affect military and hazardous waste facilities, nearby towns, and populous areas of the more distant central Wasatch Front. 64 pages + 2 plates
Lake Bonneville: A Scientific Update
Author: Charles G. OviattPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0444635947
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 698
Book Description
Lake Bonneville: A Scientific Update showcases new information and interpretations about this important lake in the North American Great Basin, presenting a relatively complete summary of the evolving scientific ideas about the Pleistocene lake. A comprehensive book on Lake Bonneville has not been published since the masterpiece of G.K. Gilbert in 1890. Because of Gilbert's work, Lake Bonneville has been the starting point for many studies of Quaternary paleolakes in many places throughout the world. Numerous journal articles, and a few books on specialized topics related to Lake Bonneville, have been published since the late 1800s, but here the editors compile the important data and perspectives of the early 21st century into a book that will be an essential reference for future generations. Scientific research on Lake Bonneville is vibrant today and will continue into the future. - Makes the widespread and detailed literature on this well-known Pleistocene body of water accessible - Gives expositions of the many famous and iconic landforms and deposits - Contains over 300 illustrations, most in full color - Contains chapters on many important topics, including stratigraphy, sedimentology, hydrology, geomorphology, geochronology, isostasy, geophysics, geochemistry, vegetation history, pollen, fishes, mammals, mountain glaciation, prehistoric humans, paleoclimate, remote sensing, and geoantiquities in the Bonneville basin
Engineering Geology of the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area, Utah

Pages : 77
Book Description
Geologic exposures in the Salt Lake City region record a long history of sedimentation and tectonic activity extending back to the Precambrian Era. Today, the city lies above a deep, sediment-filled basin flanked by two uplifted range blocks, the Wasatch Range and the Oquirrh Mountains. The Wasatch Range is the easternmost expression of major Basin and Range extension in north-central Utah and is bounded on the west by the Wasatch fault zone (WFZ), a major zone of active normal faulting. During the late Pleistocene Epoch, the Salt Lake City region was dominated by a succession of inter-basin lakes. Lake Bonneville was the last and probably the largest of these lakes. By 11,000 yr BP, Lake Bonneville had receded to approximately the size of the present Great Salt Lake.
