Introduction 

The Western Earth Surface Processes Team (WESPT) of the U.S. Geological Survey 

(USGS) conducts geologic mapping, earth-surface process investigations, and related topical earth 

science studies in the western United States. This work is focused on areas where modern geologic 

maps and associated earth-science data are needed to address key societal and environmental issues 

such as ground-water quality, landslides and other potential geologic hazards, and land-use 

decisions. Areas of primary emphasis in 2006 included southern California, the San Francisco Bay 

region, the Mojave Desert, the Colorado Plateau region of northern Arizona, and the Pacific 

Northwest. The team has its headquarters in Menlo Park, California, and maintains smaller field 

offices at several other locations in the western United States. 

The results of research conducted by the WESPT are released to the public as a variety of 

databases, maps, text reports, and abstracts, both through the internal publication system of the 

USGS and in diverse external publications such as scientific journals and books. This report lists 

publications of the WESPT released in 2006 as well as additional 2005 publications that were not 

included in the previous lists (USGS Open-File Reports 03-363 [http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/openfile/of03-363/], 2004-1267 [http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1267/of2004-1267.pdf], 2005-1362 

[http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1362], 2007-1027 [http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1027]). Most of the 

publications listed were authored or coauthored by WESPT staff. The list also includes some 

publications authored by non-USGS cooperators with the WESPT, as well as some authored by 

USGS staff outside the WESPT in cooperation with WESPT projects. 

Several of the publications listed are available on the World Wide Web; for these, URL 

addresses are provided. Many of these web publications are USGS Open-File reports that contain 

large digital databases of geologic map and related information.
