Development of a technically consistent, qualified lithostratigraphic data base for the Yucca Mountain Project Development of a technically consistent, qualified lithostratigraphic data base for the Yucca Mountain Project

Studies of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential geologic nuclear-waste repository began in the late 1970s and continued to 1988 when the U. S.

Oxic limestone drains for treatment of dilute, acidic mine drainage Oxic limestone drains for treatment of dilute, acidic mine drainage

Limestone treatment systems can be effective for remediation of acidic mine drainage (AMD) that contains moderate concentrations of dissolved O2 , Fe3+ , or A13+ (1‐5 mg‐L‐1 ). Samples of water and limestone were collected periodically for 1 year at inflow, outflow, and intermediate points within underground, oxic limestone drains (OLDs) in Pennsylvania to evaluate the transport of...

An overview of San Francisco Bay PORTS An overview of San Francisco Bay PORTS

The Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) provides observations of tides, tidal currents, and meteorological conditions in real-time. The San Francisco Bay PORTS (SFPORTS) is a decision support system to facilitate safe and efficient maritime commerce. In addition to real-time observations, SFPORTS includes a nowcast numerical model forming a San Francisco Bay marine nowcast...
