By: C. E. Bishop, compiler This coalbed methane content map shows the areas of methane, as well as giving estimates to methane content of the area. The map shows drilled coalbed methane wells, drill hole sample location, and favorable recovery areas. Other Information: Published:...

By: B. P. Hucka, S. N. Sommer, and A. C. Keith It has been observed that cleats in coal are one of several geologic features that affect methane emission from coal. This report summarizes the results of an investigation conducted in the Dutch Creek...

By: C. N. Tripp This study incorporates subsurface, surface, structural, and stratigraphic data from the cretaceous Ferron Sandstone Member of the Mancos Shale, and the Dakota Group into a hydrocarbon exploration model for the Wasatch Plateau and Castle Valley areas. Deposition within a paludal...

By: W. F. Case The purpose of the map is to show the regional distribution of acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) classes to indicate areas where geologic materials will not buffer acidic deposition. The ANC classes target surface-water sampling programs. The map was derived from...

By: B. T. Tripp This tar sand deposit overburden map shows the location of the tar sand beds, overburden contour lines, and special tar sand area boundaries. Other Information: Published: 1986 Plates: 1 pl. Scale: 1:50,000 Location: Duchesne County Media Type: Paper Map

By: B. T. Tripp This tar sand deposit isopach map shows the location of the tar sand beds, tar sand thickness measurement locations, tar sand isopach lines, and special tar sand area boundaries. Other Information: Published: 1986 Plates: 1 pl. Scale: 1:50,000 Location: Duchesne...

By: K. D. Gurgel, editor The papers contained in this Guidebook were solicited by the organizers of the GSA Rocky Mountain and Cordilleran Sections and have been edited and given a common format. These papers come from field trips led during the meeting. Paleoseismicity...

By: G. N. McDonald, compiler The Geologic Hazards Program of the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) maps and defines geologic hazards and provides assistance to tax-supported entities (cities, towns, counties, and their engineers, planning commissions, or planning departments; associations of governments; state agencies; and school...

By: W. F. Case Records of 292 significant drill holes which were drilled in the major valley areas of the Wasatch Front have been compiled into a Utah Geological and Mineral Survey database, given in this publication. Drill holes which are judged to be...

By: S. D. Bowman, K. Beisner, and C. Ugner This compilation of the 1937 Farm Service Agency (formerly the Agricultural Adjustment Administration) AAJ/AAK Project in­cludes 261 scanned aerial photograph prints (frames) of Weber, Davis, and Box Elder Counties, Utah. These frames were taken as...

By: J. Koebbe This document describes a package of codes that can be used to determine effective permeabilities for porous media problems. In a more basic sense the codes concentrate on obtaining a numerical approximation of the solution of a system of elliptic partial...

By: J. L. Baer The state of Utah has, within its borders, exposures of some of the world’s most spectacular geology. In order to assist the public to a greater awareness and appreciation of that geology, road logs and geological descriptions of certain localities...

AAPG Highway Map--Utah geologic cross section

By: W. L. Stokes This book is about understanding and appreciating Utah's geology. Over the last fifty years, William lee Stokes has been a steady contributor to the mapping and interpretation of Utah geology. This book is a late dividend of a long professional...

By: S. T. Nelson, M. T. Heizler, and J. P. Davidson Previously published Eocene and late-Oligocene K-Ar ages of intrusive rocks of the Henry and La Sal Mountains are bimodal whereas sphene and zircon fission-track ages are exclusively late Oligocene. The apparent discordance between...

By: S. R. Mattox Volcanic rocks of the eastern flank of the Marysvale volcanic field are exposed on the Awapa Plateau, one of the easternmost High Plateaus in the Utah Colorado Plateau - Basin and Range transition zone. Initial mapping by Williams and Hackman...

By: B. J. Kowallis, E. H. Christiansen, and A. Deino Precise correlation of volcanic ash beds, common over wide areas in continental and marine sedimentary sections, has wide application in stratigraphic, tectonic, and paleontologic studies. To establish a protocol for direct correlation of ash...

By: Daren T. Nelson and Paul W. JewellThe Hogup Bar quadrangle is located southeast of Park Valley, Utah, and west of the northwest arm of Great Salt Lake. Late Pleistocene Lake Bonneville sediments and related shorelines dominate the landscape, and record the transgression and...

By: S. Kwon and G. Mitra Chapter 1 describes the bedrock stratigraphy and structural aspects of the study area, located at the southern end of the Provo salient of the Sevier fold-thrust belt. Chapter 2 discusses the controversies on the structural geology and provides...
