 GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS AFFECTING GROUNDWATER AND ITS FLOW ON ST. GEORGE ISLAND, ALASKA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
George Island, Pribilof Islands, Alaska, is a late Cenozoic (~2.2-1.6 Ma) volcanic center located on the southern edge of the Bering Sea shelf.
Groundwater on St. George Island occurs as a relatively thin (~ 2.0') freshwater lens, primarily within basalts with varying lithological and hydraulic characteristics; the secondary porosity is generally high due to the layering of the flows, scoria interbeds and the presence of cooling fractures.
In the northern portion of the island, groundwater is tidally-influenced; the mean hydraulic gradient was calculated using a filtering method which effectively removes all diurnal and semi-diurnal lunar and solar harmonics from consecutive hourly water level observations.
