Historical shoreline changes in San Antonio, Espiritu Santo, and Mesquite Bays, Texas Gulf coast Historical shoreline changes in San Antonio, Espiritu Santo, and Mesquite Bays, Texas Gulf coast 1987

Changes in the position and stability of shorelines in the San Antonio Bay system (San Antonio, Espiritu Santo, and Mesquite Bays), Texas Gulf Coast, were documented using historical monitoring techniques.

Effects of hydrostratigraphy and basin development on hydrodynamics of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Effects of hydrostratigraphy and basin development on hydrodynamics of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas 1987

Deep brine aquifers of the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, ranging in depth from about 1,000 to 3,000 m below land surface, are underpressured compared with the shallow Ogallala aquifer.

Hydrogeologic and hydrochemical properties of salt-dissolution zones, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle - preliminary assessment Hydrogeologic and hydrochemical properties of salt-dissolution zones, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle - preliminary assessment 1987

Ground water that moves downward from aquifers in clastic rocks of the Triassic Dockum Group and Neogene Ogallala Formation dissolves bedded halite and anhydrite in the Upper Permian evaporite section along the perimeter of the Southern High Plains in the Texas Panhandle.

Origin and evolution of deep-basin brines, Palo Duro basin, Texas Origin and evolution of deep-basin brines, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1987

Porous and permeable strata of the Deep-Basin Brine aquifer underlie bedded evaporites that are being considered as repositories for high-level nuclear waste isolation in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle. Formation-water samples collected from four U.S.

The Van Horn Mountains caldera, Trans-Pecos Texas:  geology and development of a small (10-km squared) ash-flow caldera The Van Horn Mountains caldera, Trans-Pecos Texas: geology and development of a small (10-km squared) ash-flow caldera 1986

The Van Horn Mountains caldera is a small (~10-km2) igneous center in the Trans-Pecos volcanic province. The caldera formed 37 to 38 mya during eruption of the first of two ash-flow tuffs related to the caldera.

Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas 1986

The Upper Cretaceous Olmos Formation in South Texas continues to be an active exploration target 60 years after oil was first discovered in this clastic assemblage. The shallow, oil-bearing formation was deposited on a broad, wave-influenced shelf. Sand accumulated in two depocenters.
