Contamination potential in the Silurian Dolomite aquifer, eastern Wisconsin
M.G. Sherrill
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-108
The Silurian dolomite aquifer is used for water supply in much of a 14-county area bordering Lake Michigan in eastern Wisconsin. Because of the rapidity of ground-water movement, the aquifer is susceptible to contamination by waters percolating downward from surface sources. Maps showing the distribution of permeability, the thickness of...

1979, Professional Paper 1134-A,B
PART A: To objectively determine the changes in chemical character of an area subjected to mining and reclamation, prior information is needed. This study represents a broadscale inventory of total chemical composition of the surficial materials of the Northern Great Plains coal region (western North and South Dakota, eastern Montana,...
Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources– South Atlantic-Gulf region
D.J. Cedarstrom, E. H. Boswell, G. R. Tarver
1979, Professional Paper 813-O
Precipitation in the 270,000-square-mile South Atlantic-Gulf Region ranges from 44 to 80 inches, and the average runoff is about 15 inches. The ground-water discharge that forms the base flow of streams is conservatively estimated to be about 78,000 million gallons per day the equivalent of about 6 inches of precipitation....

Geology and phosphate resources of the Hawley Creek area, Lemhi County, Idaho
Peter Oberlindacher, Robert David Hovland
1979, Open-File Report 79-1283
Phosphate resources occur within the Retort Phosphatic Shale Member of the Permian Phosphoria Formation in the Hawley Creek area, near Leadore, in east-central Idaho. About 12 square miles (31 km2 ) of the Retort Member and enclosing rocks were mapped at a scale of 1:12,000 to evaluate the leasable Federal...
Hydrologic overlay maps of the Cape Canaveral Quadrangle, Florida
James M. Frazee Jr., Charles P. Laughlin
1979, Open-File Report 79-336
Brevard County is an area of some 1,300 square miles located on the east coast of central Florida. The Cape Canaveral quadrangle, in central Brevard, includes part of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, John F. Kennedy Space Center (NASA), and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The eastern part of...
Multichannel seismic depth sections and interval velocities over outer continental shelf and upper continental slope between Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod: Rifted margins
John A. Grow, Robert E. Mattick, John S. Schlee
1979, Book chapter, Geological and geophysical investigations of continental margins
Six computer-generated seismic depth sections over the outer continental shelf and upper slope reveal that subhorizontal Lower Cretaceous reflectors continue 20 to 30 km seaward of the present shelf edge. Extensive erosion on the continental slope has occurred primarily during the Tertiary, causing major unconformities and retreat of the shelf...
An instrument system for long-term sediment transport studies on the continental shelf
Bradford Butman, David W. Folger
1979, Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans (84) 1215-1220
A bottom-mounted instrument system has been designed and built to monitor processes of bottom sediment movement on the continental shelf. The system measures bottom current speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and light transmission and photographs the bottom. The system can be deployed for periods of 2–6 months to monitor intermitent...
Similarities between the thick-skinned Blue Ridge anticlinorium and the thin-skinned Powell Valley anticline
