Groundwater Quality and Plume Boundaries for Select Contaminants of Concern at Badger Army Ammunition Plant, Wisconsin (2000 - 2018) Groundwater Quality and Plume Boundaries for Select Contaminants of Concern at Badger Army Ammunition Plant, Wisconsin (2000 - 2018)
This dataset describes concentrations of select contaminants in groundwater, collected at monitoring wells in the vicinity of the Badger Army Ammunition Plant in Sauk County, Wisconsin, between 2000 - 2018. The data were used to assess trends in contaminant concentrations over time, delineate plume boundaries at various time intervals, and assess the overall monitoring network at the...

Assessment of contaminant trends in plumes and wells and monitoring network optimization at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant, Sauk County, Wisconsin Assessment of contaminant trends in plumes and wells and monitoring network optimization at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant, Sauk County, Wisconsin
Soil and groundwater at the Badger Army Ammunition Plant (BAAP), Sauk County, Wisconsin, were affected by several contaminants as a result of production and waste disposal practices common during its operation from 1942 to 1975. Three distinct plumes of contaminated groundwater originate on BAAP property and extend off-site, as identified by previous studies. Routine sampling of...

Making ‘chemical cocktails’ – Evolution of urban geochemical processes across the periodic table of elements Making ‘chemical cocktails’ – Evolution of urban geochemical processes across the periodic table of elements
Urbanization contributes to the formation of novel elemental combinations and signatures in terrestrial and aquatic watersheds, also known as ‘chemical cocktails.’ The composition of chemical cocktails evolves across space and time due to: (1) elevated concentrations from anthropogenic sources, (2) accelerated weathering and corrosion of the built environment, (3) increased drainage...

Watershed ‘chemical cocktails’: forming novel elemental combinations in Anthropocene fresh waters Watershed ‘chemical cocktails’: forming novel elemental combinations in Anthropocene fresh waters
In the Anthropocene, watershed chemical transport is increasingly dominated by novel combinations of elements, which are hydrologically linked together as ‘chemical cocktails.’ Chemical cocktails are novel because human activities greatly enhance elemental concentrations and their probability for biogeochemical interactions and shared transport along hydrologic flowpaths. A new chemical...

Mw 4.2 Delaware Earthquake of 30 November 2017 Mw 4.2 Delaware Earthquake of 30 November 2017
The 30 November 2017 Delaware earthquake with magnitude MW 4.2 occurred beneath the northeastern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula near Dover, Delaware. The earthquake and its aftershocks provide an opportunity to evaluate seismicity in a passive margin setting using much improved coverage by high-quality permanent broadband seismometers at regional distance ranges in the central and eastern...
