Major- and trace-element concentrations in soils from two continental-scale transects of the United States and Canada Major- and trace-element concentrations in soils from two continental-scale transects of the United States and Canada
This report contains major- and trace-element concentration data for soil samples collected from 265 sites along two continental-scale transects in North America. One of the transects extends from northern Manitoba to the United States-Mexico border near El Paso, Tex. and consists of 105 sites. The other transect approximately follows the 38th parallel from the Pacific coast of the...

Some statistical relationships between stream sediment and soil geochemistry in northwestern Wisconsin - can stream sediment compositions be used to predict compositions of soils in glaciated terranes? Some statistical relationships between stream sediment and soil geochemistry in northwestern Wisconsin - can stream sediment compositions be used to predict compositions of soils in glaciated terranes?
Mean stream sediment chemical compositions from northwestern Wisconsin in the north central United States, based on more than 800 samples, differ significantly from mean A-horizon and C-horizon soil compositions, based on about 380 samples of each horizon. Differences by a factor greater than 1.5 exist for some elements (Ca, Mn, Mg, P, Ti, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn). A very large database of stream...

A hydrogeologic model of stratiform copper mineralization in the Midcontinent Rift System, Northern Michigan, USA A hydrogeologic model of stratiform copper mineralization in the Midcontinent Rift System, Northern Michigan, USA
This paper presents a suite of two-dimensional mathematical models of basin-scale groundwater flow and heat transfer for the middle Proterozoic Midcontinent Rift System. The models were used to assess the hydrodynamic driving mechanisms responsible for main-stage stratiform copper mineralization of the basal Nonesuch Formation during the post-volcanic/pre-compressional phase of basin...

Bedrock geologic map of the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone 30' X 60' quadrangles, Wisconsin Bedrock geologic map of the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone 30' X 60' quadrangles, Wisconsin
This Open-File Report provides digital data (shapefiles and .e00 files) for the bedrock geology in the Port Wing, Solon Springs, and parts of the Duluth and Sandstone quadrangles in Wisconsin. A Miscellaneous Investigations Series map (I map) is currently in review with analogous data in paper format. This map portrays the geology of part of the Midcontinent rift system (MRS) along the...

Geochemistry of glacial sediments in the area of the Bend massive sulfide deposit, north-central Wisconsin Geochemistry of glacial sediments in the area of the Bend massive sulfide deposit, north-central Wisconsin
Geochemical exploration in northern Wisconsin has been problematic because of thick glacial overburden and complex stratigraphic record of glacial history. To assess till geochemical exploration in an area of thick glacial cover and complex stratigraphy samples of glacial materials were collected from cores from five rotasonic boreholes near a known massive sulfide deposit, the Bend...

Geochemistry of bedrock and glacial deposits in the vicinity of the Bend massive sulfide deposit, north central Wisconsin Geochemistry of bedrock and glacial deposits in the vicinity of the Bend massive sulfide deposit, north central Wisconsin
In 1998 the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) initiated a study to examine the natural regional environmental impact of sulfide mineralization exposed to episodic weathering and glaciation. The study focused on the Bend copper-gold massive sulfide deposit located in the Medford District of the Chequamegon National Forest in north central Wisconsin. The Bend massive sulfide deposit is a small...
