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

Fisher, R.S., Mullican, W.F. Bureau of Economic Geology
Tertiary and Quaternary stratigraphy and vertebrate paleontology of parts of northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico Tertiary and Quaternary stratigraphy and vertebrate paleontology of parts of northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico 1990

This field guide summarizes recent interpretations of the upper Cenozoic stratigraphy of parts of the Southern High Plains and Rolling Plains in northwestern Texas and eastern New Mexico.

Gustavson, T.C., Holliday, V.T., Osterkamp, W.R., Schultz, G.E., Winkler, D.A. Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

This guidebook, Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas, grew out of our interest in the hydrogeology of desert environments.

Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas 1990

Petroleum reservoirs typically yield only a fraction of the oil initially in place because geologic heterogeneity causes incomplete drainage of oil.

Identification of sources and mechanisms of salt-water pollution affecting ground-water quality:  a case study, West Texas Identification of sources and mechanisms of salt-water pollution affecting ground-water quality: a case study, West Texas 1990

Occurrences of ground-water and soil salinization are numerous in the Concho River watershed and its confluence with the Colorado River in West Texas and in other semiarid regions of Texas and the United States.

Richter, B.C., Dutton, A.R., Kreitler, C.W. Bureau of Economic Geology
Hydrogeology of the northern segment of the Edwards aquifer, Austin region Hydrogeology of the northern segment of the Edwards aquifer, Austin region 1990

Geologic mapping and fracture analysis of the Lower Cretaceous Edwards aquifer strata near Georgetown and Round Rock, Texas, were performed to provide a better understanding of the geologic framework of the Balcones Fault Zone and to provide information for assessing ground-water flow characteris

Depositional systems and karst geology of the Ellenburger Group (Lower Ordovician), subsurface West Texas Depositional systems and karst geology of the Ellenburger Group (Lower Ordovician), subsurface West Texas 1990

The Ellenburger Group (Lower Ordovician) of Texas is a laterally extensive peritidal carbonate shelf sequence. It forms a major deep oil reservoir, having estimated reserves of 1.15 billion barrels of oil, and it also contains an estimated 2.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Geologic Significance of Remotely Sensed Physiographic Features of the Texas Panhandle and Adjacent Regions Geologic Significance of Remotely Sensed Physiographic Features of the Texas Panhandle and Adjacent Regions 1990

Remotely sensed features such as linear drainages, escarpments, ridges, and aligned playas have been identified on Landsat imagery (scale 1:250,000) of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent regions to allow comparison of these features with detailed regional and site-specific geologic data.
