U.S. Geological Survey Toxic Substances Hydrology Program; abstracts of the technical meeting, Monterey, California, March 11-15, 1991

Abstract

The U.S. Geological Survey's Tone Substances Hydrology Program provides earth-science information needed to understand the movement and fate of hazardous substances in the Nation's ground and surface waters. To do this, the program (1) conducts laboratory and field research on the physical, chemical, and biological processes controlling contaminant transport and transformation; (2) develops new analytical methods and sampling techniques; and (3) investigates the relations among various human activities, environmental characteristics, and regional patterns of water quality. The latest results of research conducted by the Toxic Substances Hydrology program were presented at a technical meeting held in Monterey, California, in March 1991. This report contains the abstracts of oral and poster presentations given at the Monterey meeting. To ensure that the abstracts would be ready for distribution at the meeting, they were reproduced as submitted by the authors. Time did not permit preparation of the abstracts in a uniform format.

“…The U.S. Geological Survey Toxic Substances Hydrology Program has held five technical meetings since 1984 with plenary sessions at which the status of research at the site was summarized. Results of the project have been published in proceedings of these technical meetings (Hult, 1984a;Franks, 1987;Ragone, 1988;Mallard and Ragone, 1989;Mallard and Aronson, 1991;Morganwalp and Aronson, in press), in proceedings of other conferences, and in scientific journals.
