- File characteristics
- Computer data and program.
- Methodology
- Samples from 319 quadrangles (1⁰ x 2⁰) beginning in 1976 and ending in 1980; 4 main sample types represented: stream sediment, soil, surface water, and ground water. Each sample analyzed for uranium and as many as 58 other elements including sulfate.
- Summary
- Provides access to geochemcial data from the conterminous United States. Using the GSSearch access software contained on the CD-Rom disk, users can retrieve the data by specifying sample type, quadrangle, latitude, longitude, element, element concentration range, or combinations of these and othercriteria. Data may be output to the user's system in several different formats for data analysis.
