10 The estimation of intercensal migration from birth-residence statistics: a study of data for the United State, 1950 and 19601968-02This is the seventh in a series* of technical and analytical reports issued by the Population Studies Center of the University of Pennsylvania. All except Report No. 6 are focussed upon some aspect of recent migration and urbanization in the United States.
11 Geologic summary report of the 1987 exploration program, Sunnyside Tar Sands project, Carbon County, Utah--volume 11988-06-01geologic summary report; 1987 exploration program; Sunnyside Tar Sands project; tar sand distribution; tar sands; bituminous sandstones1. The distribution of tar sands in the Sunnyside deposit is related to both structure and lithology. The structural control is associated with a northwest trending flexure that segments a large monocline which slopes gently into the Uinta Basin. The lithologic control is determined by porous and pe...
