The Geology of Aquitards in Alluvial Aquifers: A Predictive Approach Based on Facies Models. [PDF]
Ground WaterWe review facies models for alluvial aquifers and demonstrate how they can be used to predict aquifer and aquitard continuity in three dimensions. We provide case studies illustrating how facies models can be used to improve groundwater investigation and remediation outcomes.

Instrumented Impact Cone Penetrometer [PDF]
Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1973 The present paper describes the development of an instrumented impact cone penetrometer for a direct measurement of in situ strength properties of a soil target. The developed penetrometer, in addition to providing acceleration signatures (as obtained by previous investigators), is capable of recording cone thrust and local side friction ...
