USGS-NoGaDat - A global dataset of noble gas concentrations and their isotopic ratios in volcanic systems
Atosa A. Abedini, S. Hurwitz, William C. Evans
2006, Data Series 202
The database (Version 1.0) is a MS-Excel file that contains close to 5,000 entries of published information on noble gas concentrations and isotopic ratios from volcanic systems in Mid-Ocean ridges, ocean islands, seamounts, and oceanic and continental arcs (location map). Where they were available we also included the isotopic ratios...

This report was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) New Hampshire-Vermont Water Science Center for scoping of flood-hazard mapping needs for Belknap County, New Hampshire, under Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Inter-Agency agreement Number HSFE01-05X-0018....
USGS Mineral Resources Program--Supporting Stewardship of America's Natural Resources
Susan J. Kropschot
2006, Circular 1289
The USGS Mineral Resources Program continues a tradition of Federal leadership in the science of mineral resources that extends back before the beginning of the bureau. The need for information on metallic mineral resources helped lead to the creation of the USGS in 1879. In response to the need to...
Coastal circulation and sediment dynamics in Hanalei Bay, Kaua'i, Hawaii. Part III: Studies of sediment toxicity
Robert S. Carr, Marion Nipper, Michael Field, James M. Biedenbach
2006, Open-File Report 2006-1147
Toxicity tests are commonly conducted as a measure of the bioavailability of toxic chemicals to biota in an environment. Chemical analyses alone are insufficient to determine whether contaminants pose a threat to biota. Porewater toxicity tests are extremely sensitive to a broad range of contaminants in marine environments and provide...

Investigating ebullition in a sand column using dissolved gas analysis and reactive transport modeling
Richard T. Amos, K. Ulrich Mayer
2006, Environmental Science & Technology (40) 5361-5367
Ebullition of gas bubbles through saturated sediments can enhance the migration of gases through the subsurface, affect the rate of biogeochemical processes, and potentially enhance the emission of important greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. To better understand the parameters controlling ebullition, methanogenic conditions were produced in a column experiment and...

Preliminary Water-Table Map and Water-Quality Data for Part of the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, Alaska, 2005
Edward H. Moran, Gary L. Solin
2006, Open-File Report 2006-1209
The Matanuska-Susitna Valley is in the northeastern part of the Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska, an area experiencing rapid population growth and development proximal to many lakes. Here water commonly flows between lakes and ground water, indicating interrelation between water quantity and quality. Thus concerns exist that poorer quality ground water...

2006, Water Data Report MD-DE-DC-05-2
Water resources data for the 2005 water year for Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. consist of records of water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report (Volume 2. Ground-Water Data) contains water levels at 352 observation wells, discharge records for 4 springs, and water quality at 118 wells....
Natural history collections: A scientific treasure trove
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2006, Fact Sheet 2006-3079
Natural history collections play an indispensable and often overlooked role in the conservation and management of our Nation’s flora and fauna. Scientific specimens housed in museum collections not only open an important window into the current and past diversity of life on Earth, but also play a vital role in...
