Identifying potential high-level waste isolation regions within \nthe Basin and Range physiographic province continued through the 1980's and resulted in \ncomprehensive geologic and hydrologic characterization of select areas. As part of these studies, \nBedinger and others (1989) evaluated the Death Valley region, an area of about 80,200-square \nkilometers in southern Nevada and California, with respect to the geology at repository target \ndepths, ground-water flow, potential transport of radionuclide material, mineral and energy \nresources, geomorphic processes, tectonic hazards, and the effects of climatic and geomorphic \nchange on the ground-water system. The study by Bedinger and others (1989) served as one of \nthe historical references used to support development of the transient ground-water model of the \nDeath Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) completed in 2004 by the USGS \n(see \"Larger Work Citation\").", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9K8ENHC", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.3c649a74-a53a-4849-8dba-ec978e0622c1.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_3c649a74-a53a-4849-8dba-ec978e0622c1", "keyword": ["Amargosa Desert", "Ash Meadows", "California", "California Valley", "Chicago Valley", "China Ranch", "Clark County", "Clayton Valley", "Coal Valley", "Death Valley", "Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS)", "Esmeralda County", "Eureka Valley", "Franklin Lake", "Franklin Well", "Garden Valley", "Inyo County", "Kern County", "Las Vegas Valley", "Lincoln County", "Mesquite Valley", "Mineral County", "Mono County", "Nevada", "Nevada Test Site", "Nye County", "Oasis Valley", "Owlshead Mountains", "Pahranagat Range", "Pahrump Valley", "Panamint Range", "Penoyer Valley", "Railroad Valley", "Resting Spring", "Saline Valley", "San Bernardino County", "Sarcobatus Flat", "Sheep Range", "Shoshone", "Silurian Valley", "Spring Mountains", "Stewart Valley", "Stone Cabin Valley", "Tecopa", "USGS:3c649a74-a53a-4849-8dba-ec978e0622c1", "Yucca Mountain", "eastern California", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "ground water", "ground-water flow system boundary", "hydrogeolgy", "hydrology", "inlandWaters", "southern Nevada", "transient ground-water flow model"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-118.332016, 34.624915, -114.306705, 39.161916", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Boundary of the Death Valley region by Bedinger and others (1989), for the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system study, Nevada and California"}
