A project is underway to map die indoor radon potential for New York State at the township level. Through a detector distribution program the New York State Department of Health has a database of over 36,000 basement screening measurements. The address field for the indoor measurement data is being linked to latitude and longitude coordinates using data files containing coordinate information. ...

Mapping of surficial geology is an important requirement for broadening the geoscience database of northern Canada. Surficial geology maps are an integral data source for mineral and energy exploration. Moreover, they provide information such as the location of gravels and sands, which are important for infrastructure development. Currently, surficial geology maps are produced through expert in...

This paper outlines a new program of the British Columhia Geological Surbey Branch in the field of applied surficial geology. Its oh.jectivcs are to develop methodologies whereby informatiw from about 2000 existing surficial geology maps, in conjunction with subsurface data, can he used to produce derivative products in applied fields such as aggre@xte resource\. neological hazards, waste dispo...

–I developed a classification system for streams in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (UP) using a landscape-based approach that was originally developed for Lower Peninsula (LP) Michigan streams. Multiple linear regression, cluster analysis, and graphical techniques were used to examine stream attribute data (stream size, temperature, hydrology, gradient, water chemistry, valley type, fish community,...

This report describes the preliminary re.wlts of surficial geological mapping during the 1992 field season in the Chilanko Forks (93Cil) and Chezacut 193CiX) map areas (Figure 4. IO-1 ). As part of the Canad;~ f3ritish Cofumhia Mineral Developme~~t Agreement, the British Columbia Geological Survey Rranch proposed to map the surlicial geology of these weiis to deriw drift exploration potential m...
