Available are four multichannel profiles collected by Digicon Geophysical Corporation in 1975 using a 48-channel streamer (3600 m long), and a 27.9 cubic liter airgun array. They were processed in Denver on the Phoenix "I" by William C. Petterson. The processing includes demultiplexing and resampling, geometry and common-depth-point, definition, velocity...

The concentrations of 9 trace metals (Fe, Pb,Zn, Ba, Cu, Ni, V, Cr, and Cd) in surficial Continental Shelf sediments are low compared to the concentrations reported for average crustal rocks. No evidence for the accumulation of anthropogenic trace metals was found at the 51 locations sampled in this study....

Percolation of contaminants from the controlled land application of domestic anaerobic digested liquid sludge has affected the quality of ground water in the highly permeable unconfined Miocene Cohansey Sand aquifer at Colliers Mills and Webbs Mill areas of the Pine Barrens region in Ocean County, New Jersey.The sludge, containing five...

Abstracts of 177 selected publications on water movement in estuaries, particularly the Hudson River estuary, are compiled for reference in Hudson River studies. Subjects represented are the hydraulic, chemical, and physical characteristics of estuarine waters, estuarine modeling techniques, and methods of water-data collection and analysis. Summaries are presented in five...

The U.S. Geological Survey Atlantic Margin Coring Project, 1976, a 60-day expedition to obtain core samples by drilling beneath the floor of the Continental Shelf and Slope of the eastern United States, was carried out in July, August, and September 1976 aboard D/V GLOMAR CONCEPTION. The coring penetrated as much...

A digital computer-simulation model of the Wenonah-Mount Laurel aquifer is used to evaluate the aquifer's capabilities of meeting the projected future demands and to study the cause of the rapidly declining water levels. The modelled area includes 1,500 square miles (3,885 square kilometres) of the New Jersey Coastal Plain and...

Increasing interest in the Atlantic continental margin as a future petroleum province has resulted in several recent papers (Emmerich, 1974; Burk and Drake, 1974) that attempt to summarize the structure and stratigraphic framework of this area. Most papers tend to portray the margin as a wedge of Mesozoic and Cenozoic...

Use of palynological zones defined by Brenner and Doyle from the Cretaceous outcrop belt in Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey permit correlation of the Cretaceous section in four wells drilled to basement in the Salisbury Embayment in the Eastern Shore of Maryland and in Accomack Co., Virginia. These correlations, supplemented...

An investigation was begun in 1965 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District to meet the Corps’ need for information on sediment transport in the Delaware River basin in relation to the maintenance of navigable channels in the river 's estuarine...

The Stroudsburg area is within the Valley and Ridge and Great Valley physiographic provinces, Northampton and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania, and Warren County, New Jersey. The northeast-trending subparallel valleys and ridges resulted from erosion of folded heterogeneous sedimentary rocks. These are Middle Ordovician to Middle Devonian in age and are more...
