Erosion, weathering, and sedimentation
Paul R. Bierman, Achim Albrecht, Michael H. Bothner, Erik Thorson Brown, Thomas D. Bullen, Leda-Beth Gray, Laurent Turpin
1998, Book chapter, Isotope tracers in catchment hydrology
This chapter explains how a variety of nuclides have been applied to catchments throughout the world. One of the most exciting new approaches for quantifying the rate at which catchments erode is the measurement of in situ produced cosmogenic nuclides. The commonly applied nuclides for erosion rate measurements are 3He, 10Be, 26A1, and 36C1. Use of...
Loose-coupling a cellular automaton model and GIS: Long-term urban growth prediction for San Francisco and Washington/Baltimore
Keith Clarke, Leonard Gaydos
1998, International Journal of Geographical Information Science (12) 699-714
Prior research developed a cellular automaton model, that was calibrated by using historical digital maps of urban areas and can be used to predict the future extent of an urban area. The model has now been applied to two rapidly growing, but remarkably different urban areas: the San Francisco Bay...
Continuous hydrologic simulation of runoff for the Middle Fork and South Fork of the Beargrass Creek basin in Jefferson County, Kentucky
G. Lynn Jarrett, Aimee C. Downs, Patricia A. Grace-Jarrett
1998, Water-Resources Investigations Report 98-4182
The Hydrological Simulation Pro-gram-FORTRAN (HSPF) was applied to an urban drainage basin in Jefferson County, Ky to integrate the large amounts of information being collected on water quantity and quality into an analytical framework that could be used as a management and planning tool. Hydrologic response units were developed using...

Oxic limestone drains for treatment of dilute, acidic mine drainage
Charles A. Cravotta III
1998, Conference Paper, Proceedings Nineteenth Annual West Virginia Surface Mine Drainage Task Force Symposium
Limestone treatment systems can be effective for remediation of acidic mine drainage (AMD) that contains moderate concentrations of dissolved O2 , Fe3+ , or A13+ (1‐5 mg‐L‐1 ). Samples of water and limestone were collected periodically for 1 year at inflow, outflow, and intermediate points within underground, oxic limestone drains...

1998, Conference Paper, International High-Level Radioactive Waste Management Conference
Studies of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential geologic nuclear-waste repository began in the late 1970s and continued to 1988 when the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission determined that the quality assurance (QA) programs in place were not adequate and demanded restructuring to a new QA program. The new QA...

In-situ alteration of minerals by acidic ground water resulting from mining activities: Preliminary evaluation of method
Carol J. Lind, C. L. Creasey, Cory E. Angeroth
1998, Journal of Geochemical Exploration (64) 293-305
The chemical composition of the Cu-mining-related acidic ground water (pH ∼ 3.5 to near neutral) in Pinal Creek Basin, Arizona has been monitored since 1980. In-situ experiments are planned using alluvial sediments placed in the ground-water flow path to measure changes in mineral and...

Ground-water age and atmospheric tracers: Simulation studies and analysis of field data from the Mirror Lake site, New Hampshire
Daniel J. Goode
1998, Thesis
The use of environmental tracers in characterization of ground-water systems is investigated through mathematical modeling of ground-water age and atmospheric tracer transport, and by a field study at the Mirror Lake site, New Hampshire. Theory is presented for modeling ground-water age using the advective-dispersive transport equation. The transport equation includes...

Although minerals are vital to our way of life, many of us take them for granted. Hundreds of the things that we do each day - from driving a car to watching television or working on a computer - depend on products made from minerals. It takes about 3 tons...

1998, Open-File Report 98-78
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with local and other agencies, collects data at selected lakes throughout Wisconsin. These data, accumulated over many years, provide a data base for developing an improved understanding of the water quality of lakes. To make these data available to interested parties outside the...
