In cooperation with several State and Federal agencies, the Bureau of Economic Geology has conducted several projects on the geology, origin, and extent of uranium resources in Texas. This volume, which was prepared in conjunction with a research colloquium sponsored by the Bureau, reviews and synthesizes the results of this research and demonstrates their applicability to the interpretation of uranium deposits.

Land and water resources have been analyzed in the Corpus Christi area--Aransas, Nueces, Refugio, and San Patricio Counties along the central Texas coast.

This report analyzes the types, extent, and distribution of land and water resources in the Corpus Christi area.

Papers in this volume were presented at the Gulf Coast Lignite Conference held in Austin, Texas, June 1976.
Papers were edited, in some cases extensively, and subjectively grouped by discipline, paralleling that of their presentation at the Conference.
