Simulation of Integrated Surface-Water/Ground-Water Flow and Salinity for a Coastal Wetland and Adjacent Estuary
Christian D. Langevin, Eric D. Swain, Wolfert Melinda A.
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1097

Eolian Dust and the Origin of Sedimentary Chert
C. Blaine Cecil
2004, Open-File Report 2004-1098
This paper proposes an alternative model for the primary source of silica contained in bedded sedimentary chert. The proposed model is derived from three principal observations as follows: (1) eolian processes in warm-arid climates produce copious amounts of highly reactive fine-grained quartz particles (dust), (2) eolian processes in warm-arid...

Relations between total-sediment load and peak discharge for rainstorm runoff on five ephemeral streams in Wyoming
J.G. Rankl
2004, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2002-4150
Total-sediment loads transported by ephemeral flows are a function of rainstorm energy and peak discharge. Rainstorm energy, estimated by rainfall intensity, is the primary mechanism for soil-particle detachment. Vegetation, soil cohesiveness, and land slope also are related to the amount of sediment detached, but these factors remain nearly constant, except...
Regional Relations in Bankfull Channel Characteristics determined from flow measurements at selected stream-gaging stations in West Virginia, 1911-2002
