2017 Year in Review
In 2017, Survey staff worked in 69 Wisconsin counties. We mapped geology, inventoried springs, and created groundwater models. We provide natural resource managers – land and water conservationists, county boards, and water utilities – with the information they need to protect and share their resources. This publication provides a summary of some of the... -

Industrial Sand Resources of West-Central Wisconsin
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.) -
Elemental Chemostratigraphy of the Cottage Grove Hole MP-18 Core: Implications for Litho- and Hydrostratigraphy in Southcentral Wisconsin
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. -
