Hydrologic data were collected at the Eastland Woolen Mill Superfund Site, Corinna, Maine, from March 19, 1999 through June 11, 1999 as part of a study to formulate a geologic characterization and conceptual model of this study area. Data-collection consisted of measurements of water-surface elevations at 7 surface-water sites and...
Areal distribution, thickness, mass, volume, and grain size of tephra-fall deposits from the 1992 eruptions of Crater Peak vent, Mt. Spurr Volcano, Alaska
Robert G. McGimsey, Christina A. Neal, Colleen M. Riley
2001, Open-File Report 01-370
The Crater Peak flank vent of Mount Spurr volcano erupted June 27, August 18, and September 16-17, 1992. The three eruptions were similar in intensity (vulcanian to subplinian eruption columns reaching up to 14 km Above Sea Level) and duration (3.5 to 4.0 hours) and produced tephra-fall deposits (12, 14,...
Sand resources, regional geology, and coastal processes for the restoration of the Barataria Barrier shoreline

2001, Open-File Report 2001-384
Louisiana's barrier shorelines are rapidly eroding due to high rates of relative subsidence combined with sea-level rise, repeated storm impacts, and a diminishing sand supply. Due to these factors Louisiana's barrier shorelines are the fastest eroding shorelines in the Nation. In places, the erosion of barrier islands exceeds 65 ft/yr...
