Radon anomalies and microearthquakes at Lake Jocassee, South Carolina

Journal Article Talwani, P. ; Moore, W.S. ; Ghiang, J. - J. Geophys. Res.; (United States)

Continuous low-level seismic activity was found to occur at Lake Jocassee after the impoundment of the reservoir in 1975. In addition to monitoring seismic activity we began (in January 1976) a series of geochemical measurements in an effort to search for precursors to M/sub 1/approx.2--2.5 events. Discrete water samples were collected from wells and a spring, and their radon content was determined by scintillation counting. These data were comparable to those obtained from a continuous Rn monitor in the spring using an ionization chamber. Soil Rn measurements in track etch cups were started in 1977. The results of the datamore »« less

Depth and mineralogy of the magma source or pause region for the Carboniferous Liberty Hill pluton, South Carolina

Journal Article Speer, J.A. - Geology; (United States)

Use of Al content geobarometry on clinopyroxene inclusions in plagioclase from the Carboniferous Liberty Hill pluton, South Carolina, yields pressure estimates of 8-10 kbar. Amphibole crystallization pressures are 3.1-4.7 kbar; contact metamorphic pressure are 4.5 kbar. Clinopyroxenes could be early crystallization products from the melt, restite crystals from the source region, xenocrysts from the magma conduit walls, or xenocrysts from a more mafic magma. Compositional uniformity of granitoid clinopyroxenes but dissimilarity with those in contemporaneous gabbroids is evidence against a xenocrystic origin. The deeper depths are interpreted as either the source region or a pausing place important in the crystallizationmore »« less

Unconventional gas hydrate seals may trap gas off southeast US. [North Carolina, South Carolina]

Journal Article Dillion, W.P. ; Grow, J.A. ; Paull, C.K. - Oil Gas J.; (United States)

Seismic profiles have indicated to the US Geological Survey that an unconventional seal, created by gas hydrates that form in near-bottom sediments, may provide gas traps in continental slopes and rises offshore North and South Carolina. The most frequently cited evidence for the presence of gas hydrate in ocean sediments is the observation of a seismic reflection event that occurs about 1/2 s below and parallel with the seafloor. If gas-hydrate traps do exist, they will occur at very shallow sub-bottom depths of about 1600 ft (500m). Exploration of such traps will probably take place in the federally controlled Blakemore »« less
Mineral resources of the Charlotte 1 degree times 2 degree quadrangle, North Carolina and South Carolina

Journal Article Gair, J.E. - United States Geological Survey, Professional Paper; (USA)

This report is the product of a 4-year project of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP). Data on geology, mineral-deposit occurrences, geochemistry, heavy minerals, and geophysics available in September 1981 have been integrated into a multidisciplinary analysis of the mineral-resource potential of the quadrangle. In addition, the relative importance of different commodities of the area is evaluated from records of past production through 1978. The results of CUSMAP for the Charlotte quadrangle are presented here and in related map reports of the U.S. Geological Survey. Stone, sand and gravel, clay, and 17more »« less
