Science and Products
Aeolian responses to climate variability during the past century on Mesquite Lake Playa, Mojave Desert
Effects of rapid urbanization on streamflow, erosion, and sedimentation in a desert stream in the American Southwest
Use of fragile geologic structures as indicators of unexceeded ground motions and direct constraints on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis
Extreme ground motions and Yucca Mountain
Compositional Data for Bengal Delta Sediment Collected from a Borehole at Rajoir, Bangladesh
Arsenic attenuation by oxidized aquifer sediments in Bangladesh
Dust emission from wet and dry playas in the Mojave Desert, USA
Arsenic incorporation into authigenic pyrite, Bengal Basin sediment, Bangladesh
Geology, Water, and Wind in the Lower Helmand Basin, Southern Afghanistan
This report presents an overview of the geology, hydrology, and climate of the lower Helmand Basin, a large, closed, arid basin in southern Afghanistan. The basin is drained by the Helmand River, the only perennial desert stream between the Indus and Tigris-Euphrates Rivers. The Helmand River is the lifeblood of southern Afghanistan and has supported desert civilizations in the Sistan depression f

Quaternary paleoseismology and stratigraphy of the Yucca Mountain area, Nevada
Geomorphic and hydrologic assessment of erosion hazards at the Norman municipal landfill, Canadian River floodplain, central Oklahoma
