Field trip guidebook showcasing four sites in Trempealeau County in west-central Wisconsin. The focus of this trip is on the sandstone formations that are prized for frac sand mining. (A draft of this book was originally prepared for the 2017 American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) Sand Mine Life Cycle Seminar held in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.)

Report, maps, and GIS data cataloging the groundwater and hydrogeologic conditions in Kewaunee County's Town of Lincoln.

The Wisconsin Groundwater-Level Monitoring Network consists of 93 wells and 2 spring gaging stations. This report documents work performed on seven of the wells between August 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017, and appendices provide historical reference documents.

Part of a larger regional study of the Eau Claire Formation, the core, from Dane County, Wisconsin, was tested using a portable x-ray fluorescence (pXRF) elemental analyzer. The report presents the data set and discusses lithologic interpretations, subsurface lithostratigraphic correlations, and hydrostratigraphic frameworks. Includes photos of the core.

This report provides information about well construction, groundwater flow, and resulting implications for well susceptibility in Bayfield County, Wisconsin. The work follows an earlier groundwater study that focused on two agricultural areas within Bayfield County.

Concentrations of radium at or above the health standard in a Madison municipal well prompted the water utility to request assistance from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey to better understand the source of the radium. This report documents a series of analyses performed on the elemental composition of rock samples from the affected...
