Twin vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) simulation of crosswell seismic tomography Twin vertical-seismic-profile (VSP) simulation of crosswell seismic tomography 1999

Researchers in crosswell seismic tomography attempt to image interwell velocity fields by using traveltimes of transmitted waves generated by a downhole source and recorded by downhole receivers.

Submerged lands of Texas, Galveston - Houston area:  sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands Submerged lands of Texas, Galveston - Houston area: sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands 1985

The State-owned submerged lands of Texas encompass almost 6,000 mi2 (15,540 km2). They lie below waters of the bay-estuary-lagoon system and the Gulf of Mexico and extend 10.3 mi (16.6 km) seaward from the Gulf shoreline (fig. 1).

Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain 1982

The Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and a major host of uranium deposits in the Texas Coastal Plain.

Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas 1982

The Oakville Formation consists of sediments deposited by several major fluvial systems that traversed the Texas Coastal Plain during the Miocene Epoch.

Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas 1982

The Miocene Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and uranium host beneath the Texas Coastal Plain. In 1976, approximately 6,000 acre-ft of ground water were withdrawn from the Oakville for municipal use.

Structural cross sections, Tertiary formations, Texas Gulf Coast Structural cross sections, Tertiary formations, Texas Gulf Coast 1981

The publication comprises 24 structural dip cross sections, spaced 15 to 20 mi apart along the Texas coast, and 4 structural strike cross sections. Dip sections extend from near the Wilcox outcrop to the coastline.

Sediment distribution, bathymetry, faults, and salt diapirs, submerged lands of Texas Sediment distribution, bathymetry, faults, and salt diapirs, submerged lands of Texas 1979

The State-owned submerged lands of Texas encompass nearly 6,000 square miles (15,540 km²) and extend from Mexico to Louisiana. The area includes the bays, estuaries, and lagoons, as well as the inner continental shelf 10.3 miles (16.6 km) seaward of the Gulf shoreline (fig. 1).

McGowen, J.H., Morton, R.A. Selected Reports Bureau of Economic Geology
Identification of surface faults by horizontal resistivity profiles, Texas coastal zone Identification of surface faults by horizontal resistivity profiles, Texas coastal zone 1978

The land surface in the Texas Coastal Zone is interlaced with active and potentially active surface faults. They are subtle features which are difficult to identify until they have caused damage to manmade structures. To date (1978), significant damage has resulted.

Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain:  depositional systems, composition, structural development, ground-water flow history, and uranium distribution Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain: depositional systems, composition, structural development, ground-water flow history, and uranium distribution 1977

The Catahoula Formation of the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain consists of two depositional systems--the Gueydan bedload fluvial system of the Rio Grande embayment and the Chita-Corrigan mixed load fluvial system of the Houston embayment.
