Low-flow analysis and selected flow statistics representative of 1930-2002 for streamflow-gaging stations in or near West Virginia
Jeffrey B. Wiley
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5002
Five time periods between 1930 and 2002 are identified as having distinct patterns of annual minimum daily mean flows (minimum flows). Average minimum flows increased around 1970 at many streamflow-gaging stations in West Virginia. Before 1930, however, there might have been a period of minimum flows greater than any period...

In September, 2003, the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (APSC) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) embarked on a joint effort to extract, test, and calibrate the accelerometers, amplifiers, and bandpass filters from the earthquake monitoring systems (EMS) at Pump Stations 09, 10, and 11 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS)....
Impacts on water quality and biota from natural acid rock drainage in Colorado's Lake Creek watershed
D.A. Bird, Matthew A. Sares, Greg A. Policky, Travis S. Schmidt, Stan E. Church
2006, Conference Paper, Proceedings from the Seventh International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage
Colorado's Lake Creek watershed hosts natural acid rock drainage that significantly impacts surface water, streambed sediment, and aquatic life. The source of the ARD is a group of iron-rich springs that emerge from intensely hydrothermally altered, unexploited, low-grade porphyry copper mineralization in the Grizzly Peak Caldera. Source water chemistry includes...
Source parameters of microearthquakes at Mount St Helens (USA)
Giuseppina Tusa, Alfonso Brancato, Stefano Gresta, Stephen D. Malone
2006, Geophysical Journal International (166) 1193-1223
We estimate the source parameters for a selection of microearthquakes that occurred at Mount St Helens in the period 1995–1998. Excluding the activity of 2004 September, this time period includes the most intense episode of earthquake activity since the last dome-building eruption in 1986 October. 200 seismograms were processed to...
