William L. Cunningham, Charles C. Daniel III
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2000-4286
A countywide inventory was conducted of 649 wells in nine hydrogeologic units in Orange County, North Carolina. As a result of this inventory, estimates of ground-water availability and use were calculated, and water-quality results were obtained from 51 wells sampled throughout the County from December 1998 through January 1999. The...

2001, Open-File Report 2001-139
This report presents the locations, descriptions, analytical procedures used, and an inter-lab comparison of over 1100 geochemical analyses of samples of soil and sediment in and downstream of a major lead-zinc-silver mining district in the Coeur d'Alene (CdA) drainage basin of northern Idaho. The samples fall in 3 broad categories:...
Density and velocity relationships for digital sonic and density logs from coastal Washington and laboratory measurements of Olympic Peninsula mafic rocks and greywackes
Thomas M. Brocher, Nikolas I. Christensen
2001, Open-File Report 2001-264
Three-dimensional velocity models for the basins along the coast of Washington and in Puget Lowland provide a means for better understanding the lateral variations in strong ground motions recorded there. We have compiled 16 sonic and 18 density logs from 22 oil test wells to help us determine the geometry...
Preliminary lithogeochemical map showing near-surface rock types in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, Virginia and Maryland
John D. Peper, Lucy McCartan, J. Wright Horton Jr., James E. Reddy
2001, Open-File Report 2001-187
This preliminary experimental lithogeochemical map shows the distribution of rock types in the Virginia and Maryland parts of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The map was produced digitally by classifying geologic-map units according to composition, mineralogy, and texture; rather than by age and stratigraphic relationships as shown on traditional geologic maps....

Bayesian analysis of U.S. hurricane climate
James B. Elsner, Brian H. Bossak
2001, Journal of Climate (14) 4341-4350
Predictive climate distributions of U.S. landfalling hurricanes are estimated from observational records over the period 1851–2000. The approach is Bayesian, combining the reliable records of hurricane activity during the twentieth century with the less precise accounts of activity during the nineteenth century to produce a best estimate of the posterior...
Hydrogeology of the Tully Lakes area in southern Onondaga and northern Cortland Counties, New York
William M. Kappel, Todd S. Miller, Kari K. Hetcher
2001, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4166
Water levels in a series of kettlehole lakes and ponds known as the Tully Lakes respond to seasonal water-level changes in the surrounding aquifer but often differ from ground-water levels in the aquifer because the lakebed sediments are poorly permeable and inhibit the exchange of water. Three sets of ground-water-level...

Molluscan faunal distribution in Florida Bay, past and present: An integration of down-core and modern data
G. Lynn Wingard, Jeffrey D. Stoner, Charles W. Holmes
2001, Bulletins of American Paleontology (361)
Statistical comparison of modern molluscan fauna to down-core molluscan assemblages in four cores elucidates changes in the Florida Bay ecosystem during the past 100 to 200 years. Fluctuations within molluscan faunal dominance and diversity patterns suggest a response to changing environmental conditions. Faunal dominance patterns indicate an increase...
