Payne, J.D., Miller, B.V., Kress, W.H., and Wilson, J.L., 2018, The use of Continuous Resistivity Profiling to Evaluate Geomorphologic Controls on Aquifer Recharge in the Mississippi Alluvial Plain from Money to Steiner, Mississippi, August 2016 to November 2016: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7J102D4.

This data release documents 68 kilometers of multiple CRP profile data collected by the USGS to characterize the electrical properties of geomorphological features in the part of the Mississippi River alluvial plain from Money, Miss. to Steiner, Miss. The information obtained from the CRP profiles are intended to augment the information available from existing geologic maps. Although geologic maps of surficial expressions of geomorphological features in the study area exist, little is known about the spatial variability within a particular feature; therefore, local-scale variations in recharge in the study area may not be adequately represented by the large-scale surficial expressions of geomorphological features available in existing geologic maps. Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
