U.S. stream flow measurement and data dissemination improve
Robert M. Hirsch, John E. Costa
2004, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (85) 197-2003
Stream flow information is essential for many important uses across a broad range of scales, including global water balances, engineering design, flood forecasting, reservoir operations, navigation, water supply, recreation, and environmental management. Growing populations and competing priorities for water, including preservation and restoration of aquatic habitat, are spurring demand for...
Core-scale permeability of an actively venting, felsic-hosted hydrothermal system: The PACMANUS Hydrothermal Field
L.B. Christiansen, G.J. Iturrino
2004, Conference Paper, Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program: Scientific Results
Permeability of the ocean crust is one of the most crucial parameters for constraining submarine fluid flow systems. Active hydrothermal fields are dynamic areas where fluid flow strongly affects the geochemistry and biology of the surrounding environment. There have been few permeability measurements in these regions, especially in felsic-hosted hydrothermal...
