WHOLE-ROCK GEOCHEMICAL DATA FOR THE SOLDIERS PASS QUADRANGLE
Eric H. Christiansen

This report makes available raw analytical data from laboratory procedures completed to determine the geochemistry of rock samples collected during geologic mapping partially supported by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS). Additional information about these samples is available in Biek and others (2009) and Christiansen and others (2007). These  data were prepared by Brigham Young University, Department of Geological Sciences, under contract to the UGS. These data are highly technical in nature and proper interpretation requires considerable training in applicable geochemical techniques.

ROCK-FALL HAZARDS IN UTAH
Jessica Castleton

Rock falls pose a hazard in Utah because we live, work, and recreate in close proximity to mountains and mesas. Large rock fragments and boulders accelerate rapidly when dislodged from cliffs and hillsides and can cause significant damage to homes, property, roadways, and vehicles, as well as loss of life. Recent damaging rock falls in Utah highlight the importance of recognizing this hazard. This 4-page, full color brochure provides more information on the rock fall hazard in Utah, including causes of rock falls, how to recognize the hazard, and what you can do to reduce potential rock fall damage.
