Gary R. Winkler, G. R. Winkler, Warren L. Coonrad, George Claypool
1980, Open-File Report 80-1089
Forty samples of Tertiary and Cretaceous outcrop or suspected outcrop were dredged along the 250-km-long northwest-trending continental slope between long 138°00' W. and 142°30' W. These samples, from water depths of 3,150 m to 200 m, combined with seismic reflection data, identify seven rock units in apparently normal stratigraphic position....
Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the Ferron sandstone aquifer near Emery, Utah
Daniel J. Morrissey, Gregory C. Lines, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-62
A three-dimensional finite-difference computer model of the Ferron sand-stone aquifer was used to simulate ground-water flow in the Emery coal field in east-central Utah. The model also was used to predict the effects of pro-posed surface mining and the resulting mine dewatering on potentiometric sur-faces of the aquifer. The model...
