Ridge-Top Spreading in California, Contributions Toward Understanding a Significant Seismic Hazard: by Earl W. Hart, 2003. Contains a digital collection of seven contributions on ridge-top cracking and spreading and the landforms associated with this process in California. The ridge-top landforms addressed in this volume occur almost exclusively in seismically active regions of California and some of the landforms have been fracturing caused by seismic shaking. This leads to the conclusion that seismic shaking may play a role in creating ridge-top spreading and associated landforms in California.

Rehabilitation of Disturbed Lands in California: A Manual for Decision Making. Special Publication 123 represents the compilation of information on vegetation, rehabilitation and restoration that has become available in the last 20 years. This manual focuses on moderately to severely disturbed lands, such as those commonly associated with mining. The information in this manual should also provide planners and practitioners of less disturbed areas with a guide for designing projects in a wide variety of other situations where rehabilitation is needed. Included 112 page appendix containing information on plant species commonly used in rehabilitation by geographic subregions. | Print only |

Summary of Outreach Activities for California's Seismic Hazards Mapping Program, 1996-1998, 2000—From 1996 through 1998, the Department of Conservation's Division of Mines and Geology developed and released 40 maps that identify areas where liquefaction and landslide hazards probably are present. These state Seismic Hazard Zone Maps were distributed to affected cities and counties who must, in turn, require site-specific investigations prior to approving most types of development and issuing permits. This report describes, in considerable detail, the methods that DMG used to disseminate the maps and related information to more than 100 cities and four counties, and to the many consulting engineers, engineering geologists, and real estate professionals that by law will participate in implementing various provisions of California Seismic Hazards Mapping Act.
Contents: Executive Summary, Historical Background, Seismic Hazards Mapping Act of 1990, Outreach Activities and Information Aids, In-Depth Survey of Four Local Agencies, Meetings With Local Governments and Lessons Learned, Conclusions and Recommendations, 5 appendices, and 1 plate. | Print only |
