Agenda, extended abstracts, and bibliographies for a workshop on Deposit modeling, mineral resources assessment, and their role in sustainable development
Joseph A. Briskey, Klaus J. Schulz, editor(s)
2002, Open-File Report 2002-423
Global demand for mineral resources continues to increase because of increasing global population and the desire and efforts to improve living standards worldwide. The ability to meet this growing demand for minerals is affected by the concerns about possible environmental degradation associated with minerals production and by competing land uses....

Evaluation of airborne image data and LIDAR main stem data for monitoring physical resources within the Colorado River ecosystem
Philip A. Davis, Mark R. Rosiek, Donna M. Galuszka
2002, Open-File Report 2002-469
This study evaluated near-infrared LIDAR data acquired over the main-stem channel at four long-term monitoring sites within the Colorado River ecosystem (CRE) to determine the ability of these data to provide reliable indications in changes in water elevation over time. Our results indicate that there is a good correlation between...
Reconnaissance shallow seismic investigation of depth-to-bedrock and possible methane-bearing coalbeds, Galena, Alaska
William J. Stephenson, Robert A. Williams, Jack K. Odum, David M. Worley, Charles E. Barker, Arthur C. Clark, James G. Clough
2002, Open-File Report 2002-450
A reconnaissance shallow seismic reflection/refraction investigation in and around the city of Galena, Alaska suggests that Tertiary and/or Cretaceous bedrock, and possible coalbeds within the Cretaceous, is at least as deep as 550 feet in the immediate vicinity of town. Rock could be deeper than 1000 feet under alternate interpretations....
Modeling GPR data to interpret porosity and DNAPL saturations for calibration of a 3-D multiphase flow simulation
Kristen W. Sneddon, Michael H. Powers, Raymond H. Johnson, Eileen P. Poeter
2002, Open-File Report 2002-451
Dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are a pervasive and persistent category of groundwater contamination. In an effort to better understand their unique subsurface behavior, a controlled and carefully monitored injection of PCE (perchloroethylene), a typical DNAPL, was performed in conjunction with the University of Waterloo at Canadian Forces Base Borden...
