DESCRIPTION:

.75 hours

NJ Geological Survey Bulletin 77 is a compendium of scientific articles on the geology and hydrogeology of the Newark basin. Chapter F and Appendices 1 - 4 summarize the results of 36 hydrogeologic research projects conducted from 2001 through 2008 in which fractured-bedrock aquifers in the Newark basin were studied and characterized using borehole geophysics in 128 water wells.  The geophysical records are used to characterize the sedimentary and igneous aquifers containing stratigraphic and structural water-bearing features (WBFs) and water-bearing zones (WBZs). The orientations and structural interactions of water-transmitting features were identified using optical borehole imaging sondes, heat-pulse flowmeters, traditional geophysical logs, rock cores and outcrops. This talk will summarize and highlights aspects of this research and focus on how hydrogeological frameworks were derived and portrayed for the various sedimentary and igneous aquifers, and the natural cross flows occurring in boreholes that reflect groundwater recharge and discharge areas.
