This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 116-page report presents the results of an investigation by the Utah Geological Survey of land subsidence and earth fissures in Cedar Valley, Iron County, Utah. Basin-fill sediments of the Cedar Valley Aquifer contain a high percentage of fine-grained material susceptible to compaction upon dewatering. Groundwater discharge in excess of recharge (groundwater mining) has lowered the potentiometric surface in Cedar Valley as much as 114 feet since 1939. Groundwater mining has caused permanent compaction of fine-grained sediments of the Cedar Valley aquifer, which has caused the land surface to subside, and a minimum of 8.3 miles of earth fissures to form. Recently acquired interferometric synthetic aperture radar imagery shows that land subsidence has affected approximately 100 mi² in Cedar Valley, but a lack of accurate historical benchmark elevation data over much of the valley prevents its detailed quantification. Continued groundwater mining and resultant subsidence will likely cause existing fissures to lengthen and new fissures to form which may eventually impact developed areas in Cedar Valley. This report also includes possible aquifer management options to help mitigate subsidence and fissure formation, and recommended guidelines for conducting subsidence-related hazard investigations prior to development.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land subsidence due to groundwater pumping in the San Joaquin Valley of California is known to cause many negative side effects, including a loss of groundwater storage. The general theory behind surface deformation, which includes subsidence and rebound, due to changes in the groundwater system, is well established. Surface deformation occurs as a direct result of changes in water level in an aquifer system, and can be permanent or recoverable, depending on the stress history of the aquifer system. An advanced satellite method known as Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) can be used to measure surface deformation with ~cm accuracy, at a resolution of ~100 m and measurements every 10 to 40 days. In spite of our ability to measure surface deformation with this method, and the existing theory describing the relation of deformation to changes in water level, it remains challenging to relate this deformation to changes in the aquifer system because so much information is required to do so accurately. The goal of this thesis is to develop methods to improve our ability to monitor and model groundwater storage and quality by incorporating InSAR with geological, geophysical and water quality datasets. This includes developing methods that estimate how much observed deformation is permanent, methods that predict deformation given water level changes, and methods that relate deformation to arsenic contamination. By integrating multiple datasets with InSAR, we are able to extract more useful hydrogeological information that provides water managers with tools to map and model deformation due to changes in the groundwater system, as well as its impacts on groundwater storage and quality. Our key findings are that 1) in the San Joaquin Valley, 54-98% of the subsidence that occurred from 2007-2010 throughout our study area was permanent, 2) by combining InSAR data with airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data, we are able to model surface deformation over time and improve estimates of the subsurface hydrostratigraphy, as well as hydrologic, geomechanical and rock physics parameters, 3) our modeling indicates that the land has subsided by as much as 3 m since 1990 in one specific location within our study area, and 4) land subsidence resulting from overpumping is linked to arsenic contamination in the San Joaquin Valley aquifer system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) is widely used to detect ground deformation from varieties of geophysical origins. However, most studies lack the spatial and temporal resolutions to better characterize such observations. The purpose of this research is to use multi-track satellite radar imagery to generate time series to study and monitor vertical ground deformation over large regions such as the Nevada portion of the Basin and Range Province and the western end of the Mojave Desert. We developed an innovative method to remove horizontal movements from InSAR line-of-sight (LOS) observations using a GPS velocity field and subsequently combine the multi-track imagery resulting in one single high spatial resolution map of observed vertical crustal and surface movements. By implementing this technique we detect vertical deformation signals with short and intermediate wavelength signals associated to tectonic processes such as interseismic and postseismic deformation. In Central Nevada Seismic Belt we detect in three independent orbits a broad area of uplift that confirms results of previous studies that associate the origin of this signal to post-seimic deformation of the historic earthquakes at this region. In south-central Nevada we detect several valleys that show a gradual eastward tilt of the valley floors due to deep geodynamical processes. The valleys located at the eastern side of Ruby Mountains show a range decrease that could indicate uplift related to magma intrusion or post-seismic deformation due to older, unrecognized earthquakes. In the Big Bend segment in southern California we detect vertical uplift as expected by mechanical models of interseismic deformation. Additionaly all our velocity maps reveal small wavelength deformation signals of anthropogenic origin.
