Description

Since earth fissures were first discovered in south-central Arizona in the late 1920's (Seismological Society of America, 1927), they have been investigated by many workers, who have offered several theories to explain their cause. When the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) began to examine earth fissures in 1988, no comprehensive list of pertinent references was available. AZGS and other active investigators regularly receive requests from agencies and individuals for sources of information about land subsidence (sinking of the ground surface) and earth cracks or fissures. This bibliography serves as a starting point for those who need such information. The first section of the bibliography consists of references that pertain to land subsidence and/or earth fissures in Arizona. The second section includes selected references that deal with locations outside Arizona.
