Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    C-52, Geologic Atlas of Aitkin County, Minnesota
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2022) Bauer, Emily J; Chandler, V.W.; Boerboom, Terrence J; Knaeble, Alan R; Nguyen, Maurice K; Lively, R. S.; Setterholm, Dale R; Steenberg, Julia R
    A County Geologic Atlas project is a study of a county's geology, and its mineral and ground-water resources. The information collected during the project is used to develop maps, data-base files, and reports. This same information is also produced as digital files for use with computers. The map information is formatted as geographic information system (GIS) files with associated data bases. The maps and reports are also reproduced as portable document files (PDFs) that can be opened on virtually any computer using the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe.com.

    Correlating Particle Size, Geochemical, and Gamma-Ray Log Data Relationships at the Ochs Brick and Tile Company Springfield Clay Mine, Springfield, Minnesota
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 1998) Zanko, Lawrence M; Setterholm, Dale R
    Borehole geophysical techniques can be very useful for characterizing the physical and chemical characteristics of sedimentary deposits. A comparison of down-hole gamma-ray response to particle size and geochemistry shows that the down-hole gamma-ray logging technique effectively distinguished between intervals of varying composition at the Ochs Brick and Tile Company (OBT) Springfield clay mine in Brown County, Minnesota. Particle size (grain size) has a first order effect on the gamma activity; it is likely that mineralogy also is a significant contributor to variations of radioactivity. The naturally occurring radionuclides K, U, and Th in selected drill core samples show that K dominates the total gamma measurements obtained from borehole logging equipment. Consistency of the U and Th activities indicate no significant post-depositional migration of isotopes with the decay series for each nuclide and reflect the average crustal abundance for each. While the collection and laboratory testing of drill hole samples should be attempted whenever possible (especially during property exploration and development), the down-hole gamma-ray probe can provide additional valuable stratigraphic information. Therefore, gamma-ray logs would be especially beneficial where: 1) extensive drill hole sampling is impractical; or 2) the drilling method makes determining stratigraphic position and unit composition difficult or impossible, e.g., auger drilling. However, if gamma-ray logging is to be used extensively during exploration or property development, down-hole sampling should still be done to establish basic relationships between the "typical" gamma-ray profile and the type of material present at the property in question.
