Invasion and production of New Zealand mud snails in the Colorado River, Glen Canyon

Wyatt F. Cross, E.J. Rosi-Marshall, Katherine E. Behn, Theodore A. Kennedy, Robert O Hall, A. Elizabeth Fuller, C. V. Baxter

2010, Biological Invasions (12) 3033-3043

Species invasions are often associated with large-scale human alteration of ecosystems. One classic example is the increasing dominance of non-native taxa below and above dams on large rivers. These dams substantially alter the physical template of river ecosystems, and exotic taxa often proliferate with potentially large impacts on coexisting taxa...

2010, Fact Sheet 2010-3002

This fact sheet highlights findings from the vulnerability study of a public-supply well in Woodbury, Connecticut. The well typically produces water at the rate of 72 gallons per minute from the glacial aquifer system in the Pomperaug River Basin. Water samples were collected at the public-supply well and at monitoring...

Volcanogenic uranium deposits: Geology, geochemical processes, and criteria for resource assessment

J. Thomas Nash

2010, Open-File Report 2010-1001

Felsic volcanic rocks have long been considered a primary source of uranium for many kinds of uranium deposits, but volcanogenic uranium deposits themselves have generally not been important resources. Until the past few years, resource summaries for the United States or the world generally include volcanogenic in the broad category...

An overview of historical channel adjustment and selected hydraulic values in the Lower Sabine and Lower Brazos River Basins, Texas and Louisiana

Franklin T. Heitmuller, Lauren E. Greene, John D. John D. Gordon

2010, Fact Sheet 2010-3005

The Sabine and Brazos are alluvial rivers; alluvial rivers are dynamic systems that adjust their geometry in response to changes in streamflow (discharge) and sediment load. In fluvial geomorphology, the term 'channel adjustment' refers to river channel changes in three geometric dimensions: (1) channel slope (profile); (2) the outline or...

Groundwater flow systems at the Nevada Test Site, Nevada: A synthesis of potentiometric contours, hydrostratigraphy, and geologic structures

Joseph M. Fenelon, Donald S. Sweetkind, Randell J. Laczniak

2010, Professional Paper 1771

Contaminants introduced into the subsurface of the Nevada Test Site by underground nuclear testing are of concern to the U.S. Department of Energy and regulators responsible for protecting human health and safety. The potential for contaminant movement away from the underground test areas and into the accessible environment is greatest...

Glacier microseismicity

Michael E. West, Christopher F. Larsen, Martin Truffer, Shad O’Neel, Laura LeBlanc

2010, Geology (38) 319-322

We present a framework for interpreting small glacier seismic events based on data collected near the center of Bering Glacier, Alaska, in spring 2007. We find extremely high microseismicity rates (as many as tens of events per minute) occurring largely within a few kilometers of the receivers. A high-frequency class...
