Barrier island morphodynamic classification based on lidar metrics for north Assateague Island, Maryland
John Brock, William Krabill, Asbury H. Sallenger Jr.
2004, Journal of Coastal Research (20) 498-509
In order to reap the potential of airborne lidar surveys to provide geological information useful in understanding coastal sedimentary processes acting on various time scales, a new set of analysis methods are needed. This paper presents a multi-temporal lidar analysis of north Assateague Island, Maryland, and demonstrates the calculation...

Delineation of faults, fractures, foliation, and ground-water-flow zones in fractured-rock, on the southern part of Manhattan, New York, through use of advanced borehole-geophysical techniques
Frederick Stumm, Anthony Chu, Jack Monti Jr.
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1232
Advanced borehole-geophysical techniques were used to assess the geohydrology of crystalline bedrock in 20 boreholes on the southern part of Manhattan Island, N.Y., in preparation for construction of a third water tunnel for New York City. The borehole-logging techniques included natural gamma, single-point resistance, short-normal resistivity, mechanical and acoustic caliper,...

Simulation of ground-water flow in the Vevay Township area, Ingham County, Michigan
Carol L. Luukkonen, Andreanne Simard
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1270
Ground water is the primary source of water for domestic, public-supply, and industrial use within the Tri-County region that includes Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham Counties in Michigan. Because of the importance of this ground-water resource, numerous communities, including the city of Mason in Ingham County, have begun local Wellhead Protection...
Factors affecting ground-water quality in Oakland County, Michigan
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2004, Fact Sheet 2004-3102
Ground water is water stored in pores within soil and rock beneath the land surface. When these pores are connected so that water can be transmitted to wells or springs, these bodies of soil and rock are termed aquifers, from two Greek words meaning “water” and “to bear.” ...
Water-quality characteristics of quaternary unconsolidated-deposit aquifers and lower tertiary aquifers of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming and Montana, 1999-2001
