“…Plain (Forester, 1979;Thompson, 1991). The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the upper half of core 2-2A (1400 ft., 427 m) are described in this report following standard field methods for paleosols (Retallack, 1988) and sedimentary deposits (Figs.…”

“…The interval from 958 R. to 1146 R. (Fig. 3) is the thickest and most complete sequence ("Olduvai Lake") and contains abundant ostracodes (Forester, 1979). By analogy with similar modern ostracodes, Forester interprets Cundona, rawsoni, and plant remains of Churophytes, Nitellopsis, to indicate small, shallow (10-50 ft deep), fresh water lakes and ponds with pH of around 8-10, Lacustrine conditions at this site ended with emplacement of overlying lava flows.…”

This paper presents a large-scale modeling study characterizing fluid flow and tracer transport in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, the proposed underground repository site for storing high-level radioactive waste. The modeling study is conducted using a three-dimensional numerical model, which incorporates a wide variety of field data and takes into account the coupled processes of flow and transport in Yucca Mountain's highly heterogeneous, unsaturated, fractured porous rock. The modeling approach is based on a dual-continuum formulation. Using different conceptual models of unsaturated flow, various scenarios of current and future climate conditions and their effects on the unsaturated zone are evaluated to aid in the assessment of the repository's system performance. These models are calibrated against field-measured data. Model-predicted flow and transport processes under current and future climates are discussed.
