Sediment and Aquifer Characteristics of Quaternary Sediments in the Glaciated Conterminous United States
The Sediment and Aquifer Characteristics dataset includes two, grid-based polygon feature classes. The first class uses a five-kilometer grid to show the density of lithologic logs available for analysis. The second class contains attributes that characterize either Quaternary sediment in the glaciated conterminous United States or aquifer material within it. The attributes are derived from lithologic logs obtained from boreholes and wells. The polygons were delineated by a constrained, kriging-based interpolation based on the distribution of map units in the source Surficial Geologic Units dataset using a grid-based algorithm to interpolate between the point data, as defined in the processing steps.
