[See History of NURE HSSR Program for a summary of the entire program.]
Totals of 1,142 sediment and 1,130 water samples were collected from the Great Falls quadrangle during July-August, 1978 as part of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL) Great Falls Quadrangle NURE Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) study. The samples were sent to the Oak Ridge Gaseous Diffusion Plant for uranium and multielement analyses. The analytical data were released in the GJBX-396(81) report.
The following is a list of sample types collected for the Great Falls quadrangle study.
Sediment Sample Type | Number of Samples | Water Sample Type | Number of Samples |
---|---|---|---|
Wet Streams | 503 | Streams | 495 |
Dry Streams | 540 | Wells | 486 |
Wet Springs | 72 | Springs | 124 |
Dry Springs | 2 | Artificial Ponds | 25 |
Wet Artificial Ponds | 25 | ||
Total Sediments | 1,142 | Total Waters | 1,130 |
These Great Falls quadrangle samples were analyzed by one or more of the following methods:
Sediment Samples
Water Samples
The data in the NEW-FORMAT NURE data files consist of reformatted records from the GJBX-396(81) report.
The NURE HSSR data are now available online in two databases: The sediment database (also includes data for soils and some rocks) at http://tin.er.usgs.gov/nure/sediment/ and the water database at http://tin.er.usgs.gov/nure/water/. From these two websites, NURE HSSR data can be selected, examined, summarized, and downloaded by political boundaries (State and County), by quadrangle (1:250,000-scale, 1:100,000-scale, and 1:63,360-scale for Alaska or 1:24,000-scale for the Lower 48 States), and by hydrologic unit (drainage region, subregion, river basin, or sub-basin). Selected data can be downloaded as a dBase file, a shapefile, an HTML table, or ASCII text (tab- or comma-delimited).
