Gutenberg, Richter, and Wood (1932) made a special investi- 

 gation of an especially strong earthquake that took place in 

 Santa Monica Bay in August 1930„ Corey (1954), Emery (1955), 

 have contributed to our knowledge of the structure, lithology, 

 and paleogeography of southern California's continental border- 

 land. 



Coastal Region 



Many articles have been written on various problems of the 

 coastal region of Santa Monica Bay, Some are technical, but most 

 are "popular accounts" of beaches, recreation, beach planning, 

 etc. Only the references which appear to be of some interest in 

 connection with the present investigation are included here, but 

 additional references will be found at the end of this report. 

 For a detailed list of all known references on the coastal as 

 well as the offshore area, and articles of general interest, the 

 reader is referred to the bibliography compiled by Terry (1955), 



The most detailed and complete report of the beaches in 

 Santa Monica Bay was written by Hajidin ^1949). Handin also 

 summarized several unpublished reports and included an excellent 

 bibliography on the beaches and source of beach sediments. 



A number of papers have been written about certain specific 

 areas in the bay, Nicholson, Grant, Shepard, and Crowell (1946) 

 made a detailed study of the marine geology and oceanography for 

 a proposed yacht harbor at Malibu. Articles written about Santa 

 Monica beaches include: Anonymous (1917, 1933); Emery (1954b, 

 1955); Handin (1949); Handin and Ludwick (1949); Lapsley (1937); 

 Larsen (1939, 1942); Schupp (1953); and Shepard (1935, 1938).
