John P. Lockwood, Robert I. Tilling, Robin T. Holcomb, Fred W. Klein, Arnold T. Okamura, Donald W. Peterson
1999, Professional Paper 1613
The purpose of this paper is to present a complete account of contrasting yet related eruptions, thus filling a gap in the published narratives of recent activity of Kilauea; and to examine their significance within a broader context of regional magmatic and eruptive dynamics. We have gained a historical perspective...
Areas Susceptible to Irrigation-Induced Selenium Contamination of Water and Biota in the Western United States

Method for Examination and Documentation of Basic Information and Metadata from Published Reports Relevant to the Study of Stormwater Runoff Quality
Shannon G. Dionne, Gregory E. Granato, Cameron K. Tana
1999, Open-File Report 99-254
A readily accessible archive of information that is valid, current, and technically defensible is needed to make informed highway-planning, design, and management decisions. The National Highway Runoff Water-Quality Data and Methodology Synthesis (NDAMS) is a cataloging and assessment of the documentation of information relevant to highway-runoff water quality available in...
Determination of pre-mining geochemical conditions and paleoecology in the Animas River Watershed, Colorado
S. E. Church, D.L. Fey, E. M. Brouwers, C. W. Holmes, Robert Blair
1999, Open-File Report 99-38
Determination of the pre-mining geochemical baseline in bed sediments and the paleoecology in a watershed impacted by historical mining activity is of utmost importance in establishing watershed restoration goals. We have approached this problem in the Animas River watershed using geomorphologic mapping methods to identify old pre-mining sediments. A systematic evaluation of possible sites...
Magmatic carbon dioxide emissions at Mammoth Mountain, California
Christopher D. Farrar, John M. Neil, James F. Howle
1999, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4217
Carbon dioxide (CO2) of magmatic origin is seeping out of the ground in unusual quantities at several locations around the flanks of Mammoth Mountain, a dormant volcano in Eastern California. The most recent volcanic activity on Mammoth Mountain was steam eruptions about 600 years ago, but seismic swarms and long-period...
