Geologic and geophysical characterization studies of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, a potential high-level radioactive-waste repository
J.W. Whitney, W. R. Keefer
2000, Data Series 58
In recognition of a critical national need for permanent radioactive-waste storage, Yucca Mountain in southwestern Nevada has been investigated by Federal agencies since the 1970's, as a potential geologic disposal site. In 1987, Congress selected Yucca Mountain for an expanded and more detailed site characterization effort. As an integral part...

Geologic map of the Sasquatch Steps area, north flank of Mount St. Helens, Washington
Brian P. Hausback
2000, IMAP 2463
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens resulted in both new volcanic deposits and deeply incised exposures into pre-1980 deposits. These exposures were produced by excavation of the crater by the 1980 landslides and lateral explosion as well as the subsequent erosion of Step and Loowit creeks by northerly stream...

A field guide for the assessment of erosion, sediment transport, and deposition in incised channels of the southwestern United States
John T.C. Parker
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4227
Deeply incised channels, commonly called arroyos, are a typical feature of the dry alluvium-filled valleys of the southwestern United States. Unlike many geological processes that operate over millions of years, the formation of many miles of arroyos is one that took place in a little more than a century. Most...

Water quality in alluvial aquifers of the southern Rocky Mountains Physiographic Province, upper Colorado River basin, Colorado, 1997
Lori Estelle Apodaca, Jeffrey B. Bails
2000, Water-Resources Investigations Report 99-4222
Water-quality samples were collected in the summer of 1997 from 45 sites (43 wells and 2 springs) in selected alluvial aquifers throughout the Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic province of the Upper Colorado River Basin study unit as part of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program. The objective of...

2000, Professional Paper 1650-C
This volume explores the continental-scale relations between climate and the geographic ranges of woody plant species in North America. A 25-km equal-area grid of modern climatic and bioclimatic parameters for North America was constructed from instrumental weather records. The geographic distributions of selected tree and shrub species were digitized, and...
