Geopubs—Geologic Publications of the Western United States

What's New, January through June 2010

Go to archived What's New pages for July through December 2009, January through June 2009, July through December 2008, January through June 2008, October through December 2007

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.
