Pre-Vashon Interglacial Deposit Investigation
Investigation of a Pre-Vashon Interglacial Fine-Grained Organic-Rich Sedimentary Deposit, South Lake Union, Seattle, Washington Cody Gibson A report prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Earth and Space Sciences: Applied Geosciences University of Washington March 2017 Project Mentors: Kathy Troost, University of Washington Matt Smith, GeoEngineers Inc. Internship Coordinator: Kathy Troost Reading Committee: Kathy Troost Juliet Crider MESSAGe Technical Report Number: 56 ©Copyright Cody Gibson i Executive Summary This study evaluates a fine-grained interglacial deposit found in the subsurface of the South Lake Union (SLU) area, Seattle, Washington. The nearly one-square-km SLU study area is defined as north of Denny Way, south of Aloha Street, east of Aurora Avenue, and west of Interstate 5. The evaluation required an in-depth study of over 600 existing geotechnical and environmental boring logs found for the study area. My evaluation consisted of mapping the distribution, determining the depositional environment, and characterizing the organic-rich pre-Vashon deposits. The fine-grained organic-rich deposits correlate to the Olympia formation, which occurred prior to the last glaciation of the Puget Sound Lowland known as the Vashon. To characterize the subsurface conditions in SLU, I assigned the materials described on the boring logs to one of 3 basic layers: pre-Vashon, Olympia Formation (Qob), and Vashon. In the SLU, the Qob consists of grey silt with interbeds of sand and gravel, and has an abundance of organic debris including woody debris such as well-preserved logs and branches, fresh-water diatoms, and fresh-water aquatic deposits such as peat.

Coal Evaluation Case Study Using the Rockworks Playlist 11/30/20/JPR
Coal Evaluation Case Study Using the RockWorks Playlist 11/30/20/JPR Introduction The purpose of this paper is to show how the RockWorks Playlist tool can be used to evaluate geology based solely on data within the RockWorks Datasheet as opposed to the Borehole Manager database. The study area is a small-scale hypothetical coal field comprised of three semi-continuous seams (Figure 1). The endgame is to determine where to extract coal that meets a set of user-defined criteria including overburden thickness, interburden thickness, BTUs, sulfur content, ash content, and areal extent (Figure 2). This is a highly-selective methodology referred to as “surgical mining” or “high-grading.” Figure 1. Fence Diagram Depicting Semi-Continuous Interburden & Coal Seams (Vertical Exaggeration = 4X) Page 1 of 60 Figure 2. Preliminary Extraction Plan Based on Multiple Optimization Parameters (Vertical Exaggeration = 4X) Please note that this approach could readily be applied to other types of stratigraphic deposits (sand, gravel, clay, trona, gypsum, etc.). The only caveat is that this approach uses grid-based modeling, in which the parameters for each borehole are considered to be vertically constant. For example, for any given borehole there is only one BTU value for Coal #1 which means that the BTU values from the top to the base of Coal #1 at that particular point do not vary. If these types of assumptions are unacceptable (e.g. grade varies vertically within stratigraphic intervals), the data must be entered into the RockWorks Borehole Manager database which will use true 3D block modeling methods, thereby allowing for vertical variations within any of the individual unit properties.

Locating the Seattle Fault in Bellevue, WA: Combining Geomorphic Indicators with Borehole Data
Locating the Seattle Fault in Bellevue, WA: Combining geomorphic indicators with borehole data Rebekah Cesmat A report prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Earth and Space Sciences: Applied Geosciences University of Washington November 2014 Project mentor: Brian Sherrod, U.S. Geological Survey, Research Geologist; University of Washington affiliate faculty Internship coordinator: Kathy Troost Reading committee: Alison Duvall Kathy Troost Juliet Crider MESSAGe Technical Report Number: [014] ©Copyright 2014 Rebekah Cesmat i Abstract The Seattle Fault is an active east-west trending reverse fault zone that intersects both Seattle and Bellevue, two highly populated cities in Washington. Rupture along strands of the fault poses a serious threat to infrastructure and thousands of people in the region. Precise locations of fault strands are still poorly constrained in Bellevue due to blind thrusting, urban development, and/or erosion. Seismic reflection and aeromagnetic surveys have shed light on structural geometries of the fault zone in bedrock. However, the fault displaces both bedrock and unconsolidated Quaternary deposits, and seismic data are poor indicators of the locations of fault strands within the unconsolidated strata. Fortunately, evidence of past fault strand ruptures may also be recorded indirectly by fluvial processes and should also be observable in the subsurface. I analyzed hillslope and river geomorphology using LiDAR data and ArcGIS to locate surface fault traces and then compare/correlate these findings to subsurface offsets identified using borehole data. Geotechnical borings were used to locate one fault offset and provide input to a cross section of the fault constructed using Rockworks software.

GIS-Based Hydrogeological Platform for Sedimentary Media
[Annex I: Articles and reports related to the development of this thesis] GIS-based hydrogeological platform for sedimentary media PhD Thesis Domitila Violeta Velasco Mansilla Advisor: Dr. Enric Vázquez Suñè Hydrogeology Group (GHS) Institute of Environmental Assesment and Water Research (IDAEA), Spanish Research Council(CSIC) Dept. Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona Chapter 1: Introduction I. ABSTRACT The detailed 3D hydrogeological modelling of sedimentary media (e.g. alluvial, deltaic, etc) that form important aquifers is very complex because of: (1) the natural intrinsic heterogeneity of the geological media, (2) the need for integrating reliable 3D geological models that represent this heterogeneity in the hydrogeological modelling process and (3) the scarcity of comprenhensive tools for the systematic management of spatial and temporal dependent data. The first aim of this thesis was the development of a software platform to facilitate the creation of 3D hydrogeological models in sedimentary media. It is composed of a hydrogeological geospatial database and several sets of instruments working within a GIS environment. They were designed to manage, visualise, analyse, interpret and pre and post- process the data stored in the spatial database The geospatial database (HYDOR) is based on the Personal Geodatabase structure of ArcGIS(ESRI) and enables the user to integrate into a logical and consistent structure the wide range of spatio-temporal dependent groundwater information ( e.g. geological, hydrogeological, geographical, etc data) from different sources( other database, field tests, etc) and different formats( e.g. digital data, maps etc). A set of applications in the database were established to facilitate and ensure the correct data entry in accordance with existing international standards.
