The chemical composition of natural water is derived from many different sources of solutes, including gases and aerosols from the atmosphere, weathering and erosion of rocks and soil, solution or precipitation reactions occurring below the land surface, and cultural effects resulting from human activities.

This report presents the results from a simulation model designed to predict the chemistry of water that will be collected in the underground workings of the Resolution Copper Project mine.

The Sugarloaf fault is a slightly arcuate, northwest-southeast trending fault located near the junction of Mesquite Wash and Sycamore Creek. The fault was identified by Fugro (1981), which considered the fault in itsMCE analysis for Stewart Mountain Dam because of the evidence for possible Quaternary activity along the structure.

Two monuments from an 1855 cadastral survey that span the San Andreas fault in the Carrizo Plain have been right-laterally displaced 11.0 ± 2.5 m by the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake and associated seismicity and afterslip. This measurement confirms that at least 9.5 ± 0.5 m of slip occurred along the main fault trace, as suggested by measurements of offset channels near Wallace Creek.

The spatial and temporal distribution of fault slip is a critical parameter in earthquake source models. Previous geomorphic and geologic studies of channel offset along the Carrizo section of the south central San Andreas Fault assumed that channels form more frequently than earthquakes occur and suggested that repeated large-slip earthquakes similar to the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake illustrate typical fault behavior. We found that offset channels in the Carrizo Plain incised less frequently than they were offset by earthquakes.

The Mogollon (muh-ge-own) Escarpment of central Arizona is one of the State's spectacular natural attractions, especially when viewed from the rim of its precipitate cliffs.

This report summarizes the meteorological, upper-air (SoDAR¹), nitrogen dioxide (NO_²), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), ozone (O₃), and particulate matter (PM) data collected at the Resolution Copper Project near Superior, Arizona, for the fourth quarter, October 1 through December 31, 2017.
