Geopubs—Geologic Publications of the Western United States

January through June, 2008

Go to archived What's New pages for October through December, 2007, July through September, 2007, April through June, 2007, January through March, 2007, November and December, 2006,

The USGS has made a few changes to its report series. Publications released in 2004 and later will reflect the following name changes, although a few bulletin chapters may still be released under the old series names. Bulletins will now be released as Scientific Investigations Reports, I-maps and MF-maps will now be released as Scientific Investigations Maps, and the Digital Data Series is now the Data Series. Please see notes on the specific series index pages.
