    C-46, Geologic Atlas of Kandiyohi County, Minnesota
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2019) Hamilton, Jacqueline D; Bauer, Emily J; Chandler, V.W.; Steenberg, Julia R; Staley, Amie E
    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. Due to errors found when working with Part B, hydrogeology, revised sand/till rasters have been added to this site in 2022 (Revisions to sand model data 2022).

    OFR18-03, Core Descriptions, Borehole Geophysics, and Unit Interpretations in Support of Phase I and II USGS Hydrologic Properties of Till Investigation
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2018) Staley, Amie E; Wagner, Kaleb; Nguyen, Maurice; Tipping, Robert
    This report summarizes the contributions of the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) to a three-year study conducted in two phases – Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF), M.L. 2014, Chp. 226, Sec. 2, Subd. 03h, and ENTRF, M.L. 2016, Chp. 186, Sec. 2, Subd. 04h, led by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Minnesota Water Science Center, which seeks to further knowledge on the sources and rates of recharge to confined aquifers set within buried-valley sequences in Minnesota. Six cores (including one collected for a previous study) of unconsolidated Quaternary deposits were extracted from known confined glacial aquifer settings, in four regions across Minnesota, in order to target variability in the material properties of the aquitards that confine them.
