Geochemical and γ ray characterization of Pennsylvanian black shales: Implications for elevated home radon levels in Vanderburgh County, Indiana

“…Additionally, the boundary of Ohio River floodplain and terrace deposits, as well as the northern margin of outwash deposits are highlighted on this map. Geologic contacts from Cable and Wolf (1977); Hatch and Affolter (2002) and Moore et al (2009). and recognizing transmission pathways for radon.…”

“…Soils that develop on loess have moderate hydraulic conductivity (1.5e5.0 cm per hour) and are often located in upland areas with low water tables (Hasenmueller, 1988;Moore et al, 2009). Soils developed on alluvium and outwash have low to high hydraulic conductivity (0.2e15.2 cm per hour) and occur adjacent to the Ohio River (Hasenmueller, 1988;Moore et al, 2009).…”

“…Soils developed on alluvium and outwash have low to high hydraulic conductivity (0.2e15.2 cm per hour) and occur adjacent to the Ohio River (Hasenmueller, 1988;Moore et al, 2009). Finally, soils developed on bedrock in the Middle to Upper Pennsylvanian bedrock typically have low to moderate hydraulic conductivity (less than 0.2e5.0 cm per hour) and occur primarily in the western part of the study area (Hasenmueller, 1988;Moore et al, 2009). Finally, hydraulic conductivity in soils developed in sandstone bedrock range from 0.2 to 15.2 cm per hour (Hasenmueller, 1988).…”

“…(2) sand-rich outwash plains (3) mud-rich slackwater lacustrine sediments deposited as valley fills, especially in the eastern part of Vanderburgh County, and (4) loess deposits that mantle hill tops across the study area (Moore et al, 2009).…”

Predicted and Observed Spectral Response from Collocated Shallow, Active- and Passive-Source Vs Data at Five ANSS Sites, Illinois and Indiana, USA

“…Nearby geologic information for the HAIL, WVIL, and OLIL sites ( Figure 1) was provided by R. Bauer, Illinois Geological Survey (written communication, 2007). Geologic information for the USIN and EVIN sites was obtained from geologic mapping (Moore et al 2009). Paleozoic bedrock is composed of multiple alternating units of sandstone, siltstone, and shale that all have some degree of weathering at the soil bedrock interface.…”
