The Alaska Earthquake of 1964: Radiation of Long-Period Surface Waves and Source Mechanism

The records of multiple Love and Rayleigh waves of the Alaska earthquake of 1964 were recovered from the 30-100 seismograph records at the WWSSN stations. The seismograms were equalized to a propagation distance of 9rr/2 (equivalent to G5 and R5 at • -r/2). These seismograms were compared with synthetic seismograms for radiation pattern and amplitude to estimate various source parameters. The s...

March 1964 TSH IN PLACENTA AND FETUS

Certain functional relationships are known to exist, between the maternal and fetal thyroid glands. Whether or not thyroid stimulating hormons (TSH) takes part in this relationship is a problem of interest. In the present studies, special attention was paid to the possibility that TSH may be produced in the placental tissue since reports on this subject have been limited and it is an unknown ar...

Numerical modeling of the 1964 Alaska tsunami in western Passage Canal and Whittier, Alaska

A numerical model of the wave dynamics in Passage Canal, Alaska during the Mw 9.2 megathrust earthquake is presented. During the earthquake, several types of waves were identified at the city of Whittier, located at the head of Passage Canal. The first wave is thought to have been a seiche, while the other two waves were probably triggered by submarine landslides. We model the seiche wave, land...
