Numerical simulation of steady state three-dimensional groundwater flow near lakes
Thomas C. Winter
1978, Water Resources Research (14) 245-254
Numerical simulation of three-dimensional groundwater flow near lakes shows that the continuity of the boundary encompassing the local groundwater flow system associated with a lake is the key to understanding the interaction of a lake with the groundwater system. The continuity of the boundary can be determined by the presence...
Age of the last major scabland flood of the Columbia Plateau in eastern Washington
D. R. Mullineaux, R.E. Wilcox, W.F. Ebaugh, R. Fryxell, M. Rubin
1978, Quaternary Research (10) 171-180
Pumice layers of set S from Mount St. Helens can be correlated with certain ash beds associated with young flood deposits of the channeled scabland. The correlation points to an age of about 13,000 14C yr B.P. for the last major flood to have crossed the scabland. Until recently, the...

Ground-water resources and geology of Columbia County, Wisconsin
C.A. Harr, L. C. Trotta, Ronald G. Borman
1978, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 37
The increasing need for water of good Quality in Columbia County, caused by a steadily increasing population, can be met from the sand-and-gravel and sandstone aquifers. As much as 15 gallons per minute can be obtained from wells almost everywhere. Yields of more than 1,000 gallons per minute are available...
Geologic framework of lower Cook Inlet, Alaska
Michael A. Fisher, Leslie B. Magoon
1978, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (62) 373-402
Three seismic reflectors are present throughout the lower Cook Inlet basin and can be correlated with onshore geologic features. The reflections come from unconformities at the base of the Tertiary sequence, at the base of Upper Cretaceous rocks, and near the base of Upper Jurassic strata.A contour map of the...

Morphology of chasma walls, Mars
Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 651-662
The landforms developed on the walls of the Valles Marineris system of chasmas are of three major types, which are locally transitional. The most common type is composed of steep spurs and gullies. The dominant process in the formation or modification of this type appears to be the downslope movement...

Natural radioactivity in geothermal waters, Alhambra Hot Springs and nearby areas, Jefferson County, Montana
Robert B. Leonard, Victor J. Janzer
1978, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (6) 529-540
Radioactive hot springs issue from a fault zone in crystalline rock of the Boulder batholith at Alhambra, Jefferson County, in southwestern Montana. The discharge contains high concentrations of radon, and the gross alpha activity and the concentration of adium-226 exceed maximum levels recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency for drinking...
Ground-water resources of the Parowan-Cedar City drainage basin, Iron County, Utah
