Ordering procedures for photographic enlargement products--NAPP, NHAP, and custom

Abstract

Established in 1987, the National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) collects aerial photographs of the 48 conterminous States on a 5-year cycle. Copies of NAPP images are available in black-and-white and (or) color- Figure 1. NAPP paper-print sizes and their corresponding scales for standard enlargements.* infrared film at 1 :40,000 scale. Figure 1 shows NAPP paper-print sizes and their corresponding scales for standard enlargements.

Divisions of geologic time—Major chronostratigraphic and geochronologic units

Introduction The reports and maps of our Nation’s geological surveys inform and benefit the public, private industry, government officials, and scientists. The use of clear and consistent nomenclature and classifications can improve communication of data and interpretations. Since 1899, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geologic Names Committee (GNC) has been responsible for defining standards that promote uniform geologic nomenclature and classifications among geoscientists. The GNC periodically publishes a geologic time scale, the “Divisions of Geologic Time,” that serves as the national standard for USGS publications (for example, refer to Orndorff and others, 2023). Authors may use other published geologic time scales, such as those of the Geological Society of America (GSA) or the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), provided that they are clearly specified and referenced. Access to the USGS, GSA, and ICS geologic time scales is also available from the U.S. Geologic Names Lexicon (Geolex) website https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/stratres/timescales. The geologic time scale serves a dual purpose by enabling authors to distinguish earth material units by position (chronostratigraphic) and time (geochronologic), as outlined in order of decreasing rank.
