Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

The hydrochemical history of ground water in the arid southeastern Hueco Bolson and southwestern Diablo Plateau was investigated by collecting soil-moisture samples from unsaturated siliciclastic bolson-fill sediments and groundwater samples from the Diablo Plateau aquifer, the Hueco Bolson silt

Gravity, magnetic, and generalized geologic map of the Van Horn -- Sierra Blanca Region, Trans-Pecos Texas Gravity, magnetic, and generalized geologic map of the Van Horn -- Sierra Blanca Region, Trans-Pecos Texas 1972

The Van Horn-Sierra Blanca region lies athwart part of the boundary between two contrasting geologic provinces. The contrast between these two provinces, splendidly displayed by Holocene landforms in the present map area, has a history that dates back to at least Late Precambrian time.
