Andrew H Manning
Andrew Manning is a Research Geologist with the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center.
Andrew Manning has been a Research Geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey since 2002. His research is largely focused on using noble gases and other environmental tracers to study mountain groundwater flow systems. His recent work focuses more specifically on the transport of metals in groundwater in mineralized mountain areas, and has expanded to include studying the source and migration of ore fluids responsible for the formation of mineral deposits.

Well construction information, lithologic logs, water level data, and overview of research in Handcart Gulch, Colorado: An alpine watershed affected by metalliferous hydrothermal alteration
Integrated, multidisciplinary studies of the Handcart Gulch alpine watershed provide a unique opportunity to study and characterize the geology and hydrology of an alpine watershed along the Continental Divide. The study area arose out of the donation of four abandoned, deep mineral exploration boreholes to the U.S. Geological Survey for research purposes by Mineral Systems Inc. These holes were sAuthorsJonathan S. Caine, Andrew H. Manning, Philip L. Verplanck, Dana J. Bove, Katherine Gurley Kahn, Shemin GeAn integrated environmental tracer approach to characterizing groundwater circulation in a mountain block
The subsurface transfer of water from a mountain block to an adjacent basin (mountain block recharge (MBR)) is a commonly invoked mechanism of recharge to intermountain basins. However, MBR estimates are highly uncertain. We present an approach to characterize bulk fluid circulation in a mountain block and thus MBR that utilizes environmental tracers from the basin aquifer. Noble gas recharge tempAuthorsAndrew H. Manning, D. Kip Solomon3H/3He age data in assessing the susceptibility of wells to contamination
Regulatory agencies are becoming increasingly interested in using young–ground water dating techniques, such as the 3H/3He method, in assessing the susceptibility of public supply wells (PSWs) to contamination. However, recent studies emphasize that ground water samples of mixed age may be the norm, particularly from long-screened PSWs, and tracer-based “apparent” ages can differ substantially froAuthorsAndrew H. Manning, D. Kip Solomon, Susan A. ThirosQuality and sources of ground water used for public supply in Salt Lake Valley, Salt Lake County, Utah, 2001
Ground water supplies about one-third of the water used by the public in Salt Lake Valley, Utah. The occurrence and distribution of natural and anthropogenic compounds in ground water used for public supply in the valley were evaluated. Water samples were collected from 31 public-supply wells in 2001 and analyzed for major ions, trace elements, radon, nutrients, dissolved organic carbon, methyleneAuthorsSusan A. Thiros, Andrew H.
