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.

The Texas Coastal Zone is marked by diversity in geography, resources, climate, and industry.

Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Goliad, Refugio, and Calhoun Counties and parts of Karnes, De Witt, Victoria, Jackson, Matagorda, Aransas, San Patricio, Bee, and Live Oak Counties. The 4-page booklet indicates geologic formations, abbreviations, and ages.

At 10 pm (CDT) on Friday, July 31, 1970, a tropical squall struck the western tip of Cuba causing property damage and the loss of 5 lives. Twelve hours later at 10 am (CDT), Saturday, August 1, the tropical depression had moved 150 miles northwest and had intensified into Tropical Storm Celia.

A resource capability unit is an environmental entity--land, water, area of active process, or biota--defined in terms of the nature, degree of activity, or use it can sustain without losing an acceptable level of environmental quality.

Basic geologic, hydrologic and engineering criteria on which selection of sanitary landfill sites should be based include (1) thickness, excavation characteristics, permeability, solution-holding capacity, and reactivity of host and cover materials; (2) hydrologic properties including depth to wa

The stratigraphic record yields evidence that each episode of clastic silicate deposition has been of limited duration and that each has been preceded and followed by a significant hiatus.

Knowledge of the regional sand distribution and its relationship to formation temperature and pressure is a preliminary step in evaluating the geothermal resources of the Frio Formation.

Disposal and temporary surface storage of spent geothermal fluids and surface subsidence and faulting are the major environmental problems that could arise from geopressured geothermal water production.
