Economic valuation of health benefits from using geologic data to communicate radon risk potential
Environmental Health, 2020 Background Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide and represents a major health concern within and outside the United States. Mitigating exposure to radon is especially critical in places with high rates of tobacco smoking (e.

Geology of the Tekeze River basin (Northern Ethiopia)
Journal of Maps, 2017 We present a geologic map of the Tekeze River basin that covers an area of ∼69,000 km2 of northern Ethiopia. The map synthesizes new data collected in two campaigns between March, 2012 and January, 2013 and compiled at a scale of 1:500,000 with published
