Somerset County Flood Information System
William M. Summer
1998, Fact Sheet 090-98
IntroductionThe timely warning of a flood is crucial to the protection of lives and property. One has only to recall the flood of August 2, 1973, in Somerset County, New Jersey, in which six lives were lost and major property damage occurred, to realize how unexpected and costly, especially in...
New Jersey Tide Telemetry System
William M. Summer
1998, Fact Sheet 091-98
Each summer the population of the barrier-island communities of New Jersey increases by tens of thousands. When a hurricane threatens these communities, the few bridges and causeways that connect the islands with the mainland become overcrowded, making evacuations from the barrier islands to the mainland difficult. Timely evacuation depends on...
Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project; energy resources activities
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1998, Fact Sheet 109-98
Oil, natural gas, and coal (energy resources) have been produced from rocks in the Front Range of Colorado and Wyoming for more than a century, and significant quantities of oil and gas continue to be developed in the study area of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Front Range Infrastructure Resources...
Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project--Biological Resources
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1998, Fact Sheet 117-98
Riparian (streamside) vegetation communities are of interest in the context of the Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project (FRIRP) because they are often a focal point for conflicting societal demands. The cottonwoods and willows comprising these communities are structurally complex compared to the surrounding landscape and support diverse assemblages of mammals,...
Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project--Aggregate Resources Activities
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1998, Fact Sheet 119-98
Infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, airports, and dams, is built and maintained by use of large quantities of aggregate—sand, gravel, and stone. As urban areas expand, local sources of these resources become inaccessible. Other competitive land uses have a higher value than aggregate resources. For example, gravel cannot be mined...

Gerald F. Wieczorek, Dawit Negussey, William M. Kappel
1998, Fact Sheet 013-98
At approximately midday on April 27, 1993, a large landslide occurred along the foot of Bare Mountain in LaFayette, Onondaga County, New York, about 12 miles south of Syracuse (figs. 1, 2). The slide moved rapidly east toward the middle of the Tully Valley and impacted approximately 50 acres of...
Participation in performance-evaluation studies by U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory
Stephen R. Glodt, Kimberly D. Pirkey
1998, Fact Sheet 023-98
Performance-evaluation studies provide customers of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) with data needed to evaluate performance and to compare of select laboratories for analytical work. The NWQL participates in national and international performance-evaluation (PE) studies that consist of samples of water, sediment, and aquatic biological materials...
Materials Flow and Sustainability
John L. Sznopek, William M. Brown III
1998, Fact Sheet 068-98
Materials extracted from the Earth are necessary to produce our most fundamental needs – food, clothing, and shelter. Materials are needed to maintain and improve our standard of living. Understanding the whole system of materials flow, from source to ultimate disposition, can help us better manage the use of natural...
The Chesapeake Bay bolide impact: a new view of coastal plain evolution
C. Wylie Poag
1998, Fact Sheet 049-98
A spectacular geological event took place on the Atlantic margin of North America about 35 million years ago in the late part of the Eocene Epoch. Sea level was unusually high everywhere on Earth, and the ancient shoreline of the Virginia region was somewhere in the vicinity of where Richmond...
