Ground-water resources and geology of Waukesha County, Wisconsin
Joseph B. Gonthier
1975, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 29
Good-quality water is available from the sand-and-gravel, Niagara, and sandstone aquifers in Waukesha County, Wis. As much as 15 gallons per minute (0.95 litres per second) can be obtained from wells almost everywhere in the county. Several hundred gallons per minute are available from aquifers in the glacial drift that...
Ground-water resources and geology of Jefferson County, Wisconsin
Ronald G. Borman, L. C. Trotta
1975, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 33
A steadily increasing population in Jefferson County, Wisconsin, is expanding the need for good-quality ground water. This need can be met by good-quality water available from the sand-and-gravel, Galena-Platteville, and sandstone aquifers. As much as 15 gallons per minute (0.95 liters per second) can be obtained from wells almost everywhere...
The availability of ground water for irrigation in the Rice Lake-Eau Claire Area, Wisconsin
E.A. Bell, S. M. Hindall
1975, Wisconsin Geological & Natural History Survey Information Circular 31
An abundance of ground water of excellent chemical quality for irrigating crops is available from glacial outwash sand and gravel and from the underlying sandstones in the Rice Lake-Eau Claire area. Thick deposits of glacial outwash sand and gravel in the valleys of the Red Cedar and lower Chippewa Rivers yield...
Stratigraphy of Atlantic coastal margin of United States north of Cape Hatteras: Brief survey
W. J. Perry, J. P. Minard, Elaine G. A. Weed, E. I. Robbins, E. C. Rhodehamel
1975, American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin (59) 1529-1548
A synthesis of studies of sea-floor outcrops of the sedimentary wedge beneath the northeastern United States continental shelf and slope and a reassessment of coastal plain Mesozoic stratigraphy, particularly of the coastal margin, provide insight for estimating the oil and gas potential and provide geologic control for marine seismic investigations...

San Simeon-Hosgri fault system, coastal California: economic and environmental implications
C.A. Hall Jr.
1975, Science (190) 1291-1294
Comparison of stratigraphic sections exposed on opposite sides of the late Quaternary San Simeon-Hosgri fault system at Point Sal and near San Simeon (Fig. 1) strongly suggests large-scale lateral displacement....

A digital-computer model for estimating hydrologic changes in the aquifer system in Dane County, Wisconsin
R.S. McLeod
1975, Information Circular 30
The extensive use of ground water for water supply within Dane County has resulted in the need for an appraisal of the area's ground-water resources. Water-resources planners and other water-oriented groups have expressed concern over ground-water level declines and reductions in streamflow that are occurring as a result of heavy...
Ground-water quality beneath solid-waste disposal sites at anchorage, Alaska
Chester Zenone, D.E. Donaldson, J.J. Grunwaldt
1975, Ground Water (13) 182-190
Studies at three solid-waste disposal sites in the Anchorage area suggest that differences in local geohydrologic conditions influence ground-water quality. A leachate was detected in ground water within and beneath two sites where the water table is very near land surface and refuse is deposited either at or below the...
Possible extension of mineral belts, northern part of Coeur d'Alene district, Idaho
Garland B. Gott, Joseph M. Botbol
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 1-7
The ore deposits in the northern part of the Coeur d'Alene district are located within rocks of the Belt Supergroup that have been intruded by Cretaceous quartz monzonites. Lead-zinc-silver replacement veins constitute most of the deposits. The geometry of the district has been modified by post-ore faulting along the Osburn,...
A model for earthquakes near Palisades Reservoir, southeast Idaho
David Schleicher
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 393-400
The Palisades Reservoir seems to be triggering earthquakes: epicenters are concentrated near the reservoir, and quakes are concentrated in spring, when the reservoir level is highest or is rising most rapidly, and in fall, when the level is lowest. Both spring and fall quakes appear to be triggered by minor...
Lithium in sediments and brines--how, why and where to search
James D. Vine
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 479-485
The possibility of using lithium in batteries to power electric vehicles and as fuel for thermonuclear power has focused attention on the limited resources of lithium other than in pegmatite minerals. The Clayton Valley, Nev., subsurface lithium brine has been the major source of lithium carbonate since about 1967, but...

This document is an edited record of the conversations between the Apollo 12 astronauts and mission control pertaining to the geology of the landing site. It contains all discussions and observations documenting the lunar landscape, its geologic characteristics, the rocks and soils collected, and the lunar surface photographic record along...
Geology of Griggs and Steele Counties
John P. Bluemle
1975, Bulletin 64-1
Griggs and Steele Counties, located at the eastern edge of the Williston basin, are underlain by 400 to 2,600 feet of Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks that dip gently to the west. The Cretaceous Greenhorn, Carlile, Niobrara, and Pierre Formations lie directly beneath the glacial drift, and shale of the Pierre...
Geology of Porcupine Mountains in Carp River and White Pine Quadrangles, Michigan
Harold A. Hubbard
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 519-528
The Porcupine Mountains are the eroded remnants of the upper limb of an anticline that is faulted along most of its southern, overturned, limb. The exposed rocks include about 5,000 ft (1,525 m) of middle Keweenawan intermediate to mafic lava flows interbedded with subordinate lithic sedimentary rocks and also include...
