Fred McLaughlin graduated with an M.S. degree in geology and geophysics from the University of Wyoming. He is the manager of the Regional Geology, Hydrology, and Mineral Resources Group at the Wyoming State Geological Survey. His research interests include investigating the interacGeochemical analysis of Atlantic Rim water, Carbon County, Wyoming: New applications for characterizing coalbed nat...

Earthquake site responses or effects are the modifications of surface geology to seismic waves. How well can we predict (average over many earthquakes) at individual sites so far? To address this question, tested and compared effectiveness different estimation techniques in predicting outcrop Fourier separated using general inversion technique (GIT) from recordings. Techniques being evaluated (...

Proceedings of GeoComputation ‘97 & SIRC ‘97 Effective mineral exploration requires a detailed knowledge of the factors and processes which result in the formation of economic deposits. To apply this knowledge, a sound three-dimensional understanding of the geology and structure of a region is required. In most cases, surface geology can be mapped with a high degree of accuracy, however, the ge...

Several disciplines like Environmental Toxicology, Epidemiology, Public Health and Geology have been the basis of the development of Medical Geology in Uruguay during the last decade. The knowledge and performance in environmental and health issues have been improved by joining similar aims research teams and experts from different institutions to face environmental problems dealing with the po...

This report summarizes the major findings of a United States Geological Survey (USGS)-funded project entitled the "West-Central Florida Coastal Studies Project" and managed by the USGS Center for Coastal Geology and Regional Marine Studies in St. Petersburg, FL. USGS scientists from Woods Hole and Menlo Park were involved as well. This project was a co-operative five-year venture with scientist...

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. ...

The site index (SI) is the most commonly used and representative measure of phytocentric approach; it evaluates productivity based on stand height age. In case mixed stands with complex structures, methods are very limited, while in non-forest areas, they not ap­plicable. situations where applicability de­termined by geocentric methods. Geocentric allow direct modelling productivity, expressed ...

Onsite measurements are the standard for establishing geological conditions and related transport properties. However, making direct is not always possible, either because a location too remote, vast, or access outright denied. The latter typically case at nuclear test sites, military installations. Here we describe systematic method to characterize geology estimate fracture width, spacing, tor...
