Sedimentation

Process of deposition of sediments (loose, uncemented pieces of rock, mineral fragments, or biological materials). The sediments settle out of water or air into layers on a surface.
This category is also used for alluvial sedimentation, deposition (sediment), and dust deposition.

First steps of integrated spatial modeling of titanium, zirconium, and rare earth element resources within the Coastal Plain sediments of the southeastern United States

This report summarizes the assembly of pertinent data, determination of its limits, analysis of its properties, and the relations among the different data types in preparation for future modeling.

Temporal Chemical Data for Sediment, Water, and Biological Samples from the Lava Cap Mine Superfund Site, Nevada County, California-2006-2008

This report is a compilation of water and sediment chemical data generated by the USGS study of indigenous, arsenic-sequestering microbial communities. A total of 9 synoptic sampling efforts conducted at specific sites are described.

Info
Digital tabulation of stratigraphic data from oil and gas wells in the Santa Maria Basin and surrounding areas, central California coast

This report makes available a large well dataset so that subsurface stratigraphic data are available in digital form for use within a GIS and in construction of three-dimensional models to address regional stratigraphic and structural questions.

Info
Gravity survey and interpretation of Fort Irwin and vicinity, Mojave Desert, California

Provides a view of alluvial basins, shapes, areal extents, and approximate thicknesses of alluvial fill. Gravity field is separated into density variations in the basement complex and distribution of Cenozoic fill with its 3-D thickness representation.

Info
Weathering and transport of chromium and nickel from serpentinite in the Coast Range ophiolite to the Sacramento Valley, California, USA

Investigates Cr and Ni geochemistry providing insight into the mobility and bioaccessibility of these toxic trace elements throughout northern California and perhaps the origin of elevated dissolved Cr(VI) concentrations in the western Sacramento Valley
