M.D. Siegel, S. Anderholm
1994, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta (58) 2299-2323
The Culebra Dolomite Member of the Rustler Formation, a thin (10 m) fractured dolomite aquifer, lies approximately 450 m above the repository horizon of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in southeastern New Mexico, USA. Salinities of water in the Culebra range roughly from 10,000 to 200,000 mg/L within the...
Contraction scour at a bridge over the Iowa River
Edward E. Fischer
1994, Conference Paper, Proceedings - National Conference on Hydraulic Engineering
Flooding of the Iowa River during July and August 1993 caused extensive contraction scour at the State Highway 99 bridge over the Iowa River at Wapello, Iowa. At least 3.3 m of piling under the footing of the second pier from the right (west) abutment were exposed. The scoured streambed...
Contributions to a shallow aquifer study by reprocessed seismic sections from petroleum exploration surveys, eastern Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Potentiometric surface of the upper Floridan aquifer system, west-central Florida, May 1993
R. A. Mularoni
1994, Open-File Report 94-32
The Floridan aquifer system consists of the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers separated by a middle confining unit. The potentiometric surface of the Upper Floridan aquifer was mapped by determining the altitude of water levels in a network of wells and represented on a map by contours that connect points...

Potentiometric surfaces of the intermediate aquifer system, west-central Florida, May, 1993
R. A. Mularoni
1994, Open-File Report 94-34
The intermediate aquifer system underlies a 5000-sq-mi area including De Soto, Sarasota, Hardee, Manatee, and parts of Charlotte, Hillsborough, Highlands, and Polk Counties, Florida. It is overlain by the surf@cial aquifer system and underlain by the Floridan aquifer system. The potentiometric surface of the intermediate aquifer system was mapped by...
The Loma Prieta, California, Earthquake of October 17, 1989 — Hydrologic disturbances
Stuart A. Rojstaczer, editor(s)
1994, Professional Paper 1551-E
Seismic events have long been known to cause changes in the level of oceans, streams, lakes, and the water table. The great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 induced significant hydrologic changes that were qualitatively similar to those changes observed for the Loma Prieta earthquake. What is different is that the...
