Deborah S. Hammond, Ralph C. Heath, Roger Milton Waller
1978, Open-File Report 78-710
Ground water in the Hudson River basin occurs in unconsolidated deposits and consolidated rock. Sand and gravel units of the unconsolidated deposits, which occur principally in valley bottoms, form the best aquifers and commonly provide well yields of several hundred gallons per minute. Carbonate aquifers are the most productive consolidated...

Correlations between seismic wave velocities and physical properties of near-surface geologic materials in the southern San Francisco Bay region, California
Thomas E. Fumal
1978, Open-File Report 78-1067
To identify geologic units with distinctly different seismic responses for the purposes of seismic zonation, compressional and shear wave velocities have been measured in boreholes at 59 sites in the San Francisco Bay region in a wide range of near-surface (0-30m) geologic materials. Several physical parameters, which can be readily...
