C. T. Chiou, D.W. Rutherford, M. Manes
1993, Environmental Science & Technology (27) 1587-1594
Vapor sorption isotherms of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGME) at room temperature and isotherms of N2 gas at liquid nitrogen temperature were determined for various soils and minerals. The N2 monolayer capacities [Qm (N2)] were calculated from the BET equation and used to determine the surface areas. To examine whether...
Preliminary hydrogeologic assessment of boreholes UE-25c #1, UE-25c #2, and UE-25c #3, Yucca Mountain, Nye County, Nevada

1993, Conference Paper, Transactions - Geothermal Resources Council
Deuterium (D) content of groundwater and precipitation, and tritium content of selected groundwater samples are used to infer flowpaths for groundwater in the Kilauea Volcano area. The spatial distribution of calculated recharge elevations and residence times for groundwater samples tends to support the idea that Kilauea's rift zones comprise leaky...

1992, Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology (95) 19-32
Recessions of Lakes Lahontan and Bonneville that commenced ∼13,500 14C yr B.P. were interrupted at ⪖11,500 14C yr B.P. in the Lahontan basin and ∼12,200 14C yr B.P. in the Bonneville basin by relatively large perturbations in lake level that persisted for ∼ 2000 years. Minor glacial readvances in the Sierra Nevada and...
Geohydrology and simulated ground-water flow, Plymouth-Carver aquifer, southeastern Massachusetts
Bruce P. Hansen, Wayne W. Lapham
1992, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4204
The Plymouth-Carver aquifer underlies an area of 140 square miles and is the second largest aquifer in areal extent in Massachusetts. It is composed primarily of saturated glacial sand and gravel. The water-table and bedrock surface were mapped and used to determine saturated thickness of the aquifer, which ranged from...
