Environmental and applied tracers as indicators of liquid and vapor transport in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Environmental and applied tracers as indicators of liquid and vapor transport in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1992

Chemical and physical approaches are used to study unsaturated flow; however, few studies include an in-depth analysis of data from both approaches.

Arid basin depositional systems and paleosols: Fort Hancock and Camp Rice Formations (Pliocene-Pleistocene), Hueco Bolson, West Texas and adjacent Mexico Arid basin depositional systems and paleosols: Fort Hancock and Camp Rice Formations (Pliocene-Pleistocene), Hueco Bolson, West Texas and adjacent Mexico 1991

The Hueco Bolson is a segment of the Rio Grande Rift that formed as a result of late Tertiary Basin and Range deformation. The upper Tertiary Fort Hancock Formation and the upper Tertiary-Quaternary Camp Rice Formation compose the basin fill except in the deepest (western) parts of the bolson.

Field studies and numerical modeling of unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas Field studies and numerical modeling of unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert, Texas 1991

Field studies and numerical modeling were used to evaluate hydraulic controls on unsaturated flow in the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas. These studies were part of a program to characterize a site for a proposed low-level radioactive waste disposal facility.

Tertiary and Quaternary structure and paleotectonics of the Hueco Basin, Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico Tertiary and Quaternary structure and paleotectonics of the Hueco Basin, Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico 1991

The Hueco Basin of Trans-Pecos Texas, which formed in response to Cenozoic extensional tectonism, lies within the southern Rio Grande rift near the poorly defined boundary between the rift and the southern Basin and Range province.

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

Neotectonic history and structural style of the Campo Grande fault, Hueco basin, Trans-Pecos Texas Neotectonic history and structural style of the Campo Grande fault, Hueco basin, Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

The Hueco Basin of Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico, formed in response to Basin and Range extensional tectonism that began about 24 Ma ago and continues to the present.

Compilation of potassium-argon ages of Tertiary igneous rocks, Trans-Pecos Texas Compilation of potassium-argon ages of Tertiary igneous rocks, Trans-Pecos Texas 1986

This compilation of potassium-argon (K-Ar) ages of igneous rocks of the Tertiary volcanic field of Trans-Pecos Texas includes all published ages known to us as well as many unpublished results.

Hydrogeology of a gypsum playa, northern Salt Basin, Texas Hydrogeology of a gypsum playa, northern Salt Basin, Texas 1986

The northern Salt Basin in West Texas and New Mexico is a closed hydrologic system in which discharge of ground-water flow occurs in a series of playas, or salt flats.

Origin of silver-copper-lead deposits in red-bed sequences of Trans-Pecos Texas: Tertiary mineralization in Precambrian, Permian, and Cretaceous sandstones Origin of silver-copper-lead deposits in red-bed sequences of Trans-Pecos Texas: Tertiary mineralization in Precambrian, Permian, and Cretaceous sandstones 1985

Silver deposits occur in Precambrian, Permian, and Cretaceous red-bed sequences near Van Horn, Texas. These deposits are geochemically similar and contain economically important quantities of silver, copper, and lead, as well as anomalously high amounts of arsenic, zinc, cadmium, and molybdenum.
