Automated mapping of mineral groups and green vegetation from Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery with an example from the San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Analysis of multispectral satellite imagery allows us to identify areas covered by various types of minerals and vegetation, with results provided in image files you can use in GIS. |

Hydrogeochemical investigations of historic mining districts, central western slope of Colorado, including influence on surface-water quality
Geochemical analysis of mine dumps, mill tailings, mine drainage, and surface waters indicate contamination from these historic mines is generally less than that asserted or suggested by some geochemical models |
Info |
Hydrogeochemical investigation of the Standard Mine vicinity, upper Elk Creek basin, Colorado
Ground- and surface-water samples were collected in order to characterize the local ground-water flow system, determine metal concentrations in local ground water, and understand factors controlling the discharge of metal-rich waters from the mine. |
Info |
Geochronology and geology of late Oligocene through Miocene volcanism and mineralization in the western San Juan mountains, Colorado
New age determinations with descriptions of sample locations and analytical details. |
Info |
Geochemical results from stream-water and stream-sediment samples collected in Colorado and New Mexico
Data from a study intended to explore how well the chemical analysis of water and sediment in an area reflects that of the rock from which the sediments are eroded and through which the water flows. |
Info |
Geochemistry of rock samples collected from the Iron Hill carbonatite complex, Gunnison county, Colorado
A study conducted collected 57 surface rock samples from nine types of intrusive rock to reexamine the chemistry and metallic content of the major rock units of the Iron Hill complex |
Info |
Geochronology Database for Central Colorado
Compilation of isotopic and fission track age determinations, some previously published. Data for the tephrochronology of Pleistocene volcanic ash, carbon-14, Pb-alpha, common-lead, and U-Pb determinations on uranium ore minerals are not included. |
Info |
Fluorine, fluorite, and fluorspar in central Colorado
Distribution of fluorine in specific age-lithologic categories, ranging from precambrian metamorphic rocks to modern soils. |
Info |
Spring runoff water-chemistry data from the Standard Mine and Elk Creek, Gunnison County, Colorado, 2010
Periodic sampling of water during the spring of 2010 was carried out to understand the range and timing of variation in pH and metal concentration, and help evaluate variation in water quality during spring runoff. |
Info |
Geospatial database for regional environmental assessment of central Colorado
Study focusing on the effects of historical mining on Forest Service lands in this area. |

Rare earth element occurrences in the United States
Detailed descriptions of more than 200 mineral districts, mines, and mineral occurrences (deposits, prospects, and showings) within the United States that are reported to contain substantial enrichment of rare earth elements. |

Shapefiles to accompany Colorado Mineral Belt revisited
Based on detailed information on the location of the Tertiary intrusions and mineral deposits, and on the control provided by the Proterozoic structures, all superimposed using GIS, a new outline of the Colorado Mineral Belt is proposed. Older representations are included for comparison. Data are provided in shapefile format. |
