Hydraulic logging methods - A summary and field demonstration in Conyers, Rockdale County, Georgia Hydraulic logging methods - A summary and field demonstration in Conyers, Rockdale County, Georgia
Geophysical surveying techniques provide important information for ground-water investigations (Zohdy and others, 1974; Keys, 1997; Haeni and others, 2001). Subsurface-geophysical methods are used to delineate and characterize hydraulically active zones; the extent of contamination, and contaminant sources; identify geologic features; optimize monitoring well placement; and guide...

Late Eocene impacts: Geologic record, correlation, and paleoenvironmental consequences Late Eocene impacts: Geologic record, correlation, and paleoenvironmental consequences
We present new magnetostratigraphic and stable isotopic (𝜹18C, 𝜹13Ccarb) data to help improve correlations among three late Eocene impact craters and their inferred breccia and ejecta deposits. Our analyses also shed light on potential global environmental consequences attributable to the impacts. The new data come from a continuously cored interval of the subsurface Chickahominy...

Multiple causes for the malformed frog phenomenon Multiple causes for the malformed frog phenomenon
Progress has been made in understanding the malformed frog problem, yet we still cannot identify with assurance specific causes of malformations at particular locations. To address this problem we assembled a team of specialists and present here results on geographic distribution, water quality, parasite infection, and morphological patterns from Minnesota malformed frog sites and...
