Geology

• Geology of Wisconsin
• Wisconsin Geologic Locality Descriptions
• Unusual Wisconsin Weather Events
• Virtual Field Trips
• Geologic Maps of the States
• Gravity and Magnetic Maps of the States
• Global and Planetary Geologic Maps
• Evolution of the Great Lakes
• Leaverites As in "Leave 'er right where you found 'er." Got an odd rock or feature on a rock and no clue where to start looking for it? Try here.
• Giant Waves in Lituya Bay, Alaska; USGS Professional Paper 354-C.  I may have purchased the last available copy of this classic paper, but since the references I have to it elicit a fair amount of interest, I have scanned it as a service to the geological community. It has also been put on line by the USGS.
• Geology Coloring Book Inspired by correspondence with a high school teacher who asked if there was any such thing. I didn't know of any, but why not? If any field is visual, geology is.
• Crystal Structures

Mapping

• Index to USGS 1:100,000 and 1:250,000 Maps Why doesn't the USGS have something like this?

History and Travel

• The 432d Civil Affairs Battalion in Pictures
  • Gulf War - Kurdistan, 1991 - Text
  • Photos
  • Text and Photos
  • Bosnia, 1996
  • Cornerstone 98 Photos - Bulgaria
• Britain-Ireland Photos 1998 
• Antarctica-South America 1975
• Historic Places
• A Year in Turkey
• World Trade Center and the Bicentennial Tall Ships Parade 1976.
  How I got to see this event from the World Trade Center is a classic case of being at the right place at the right time. Actually, my wife was at the right place at the right time, proving it's not what you know, but who you know. Considering that millions of people saw this event, amazingly, there does not seem to be another photo archive like this on the Web.

Citations

I occasionally get requests from people who want to use material from this site but who want a formal citation. In general, works that are integral to the page are cited. If there is no citation on the page, it's for one of two principal reasons:

• The content is my original work but not published in a journal. There is no other reference.
• The content is covered in many sources (for example the pages on stereonet constructions or structural geology methods) and any of those standard works are suitable citations.
