Influence Of The Mcdowell Sanitary Landfill On Groundwater Quality, Phelps County, Missouri, Christine E. Bough
Influence Of The Mcdowell Sanitary Landfill On Groundwater Quality, Phelps County, Missouri, Christine E. Bough
Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)
This is a case study of the groundwater quality near the McDowell Sanitary Landfill in Phelps County, Missouri. The landfill is located in section 21 of T37N R8W off of Missouri State Highway CC. This landfill is a near surface solid waste disposal facility above the groundwater table located in an abandoned area of a rock quarry. The thickness, lithology, and structure of the material beneath the landfill, and the design of the landfill itself, will influence the time of contaminant transport and degree of modification in the event that leachate escapes the landfill. Among the more important topographic features …
A Seismic Analysis Of Black Creek And Wabumun Salt Collapse Features, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Neil Lennart Anderson, Robert James Sidford Brown
A Seismic Analysis Of Black Creek And Wabumun Salt Collapse Features, Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, Neil Lennart Anderson, Robert James Sidford Brown

These salt remnants and their associated collapse features are often associated with structural or stratigraphic traps. As a result of the relationships between dissolution and hydrocarbon entrapment, the distribution (areal extent and thickness) of these salt remnants is of significant interest to the explorationist. Seismic information about the thickness and the extent of these salts should be used together with well log control to generate subsurface distribution maps. These maps will facilitate both the delineation of prospective structural and stratigraphic play fairways and the determination of the timing of salt dissolution. In addition, an appreciation of regional salt distribution will …
Differential Compaction Of Winnipegosis Reefs: A Seismic Perspective, Neil Lennart Anderson, Evan K. Franseen
Differential Compaction Of Winnipegosis Reefs: A Seismic Perspective, Neil Lennart Anderson, Evan K. Franseen
Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Winnipegosis Formation reefs in southern Saskatchewan are typically encased in the thick, apparently incompressible salts of the Prairie Evaporite. Illustrates the usefulness of seismic data to separate postdepositional compaction features from primary features to determine the primary morphology of a reef better and to determine the relative amounts of postdepositional compaction with the different reef environments.
