Donald I. Siegel
1979, Open-File Report 79-1591
Peat is being considered for fuel in Minnesota. This study will investigate the potential effects of large-scale surface mining of peat on the hydrology and water quality of Upper Red Lake and the Tamarac River. The major aspects of the study are the characterization of the surface-water and groundwater hydrology...

1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-136
Analyses of tree rings of large, canopy loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.,) growing near a drainage ditch in the Great Dismal Swamp have indicated that the tree rings are datable and hydrologically (climatically) sensitive. Climatic and prior growth factors in regression explained 87 and 71 percent of the variance of...
