Foreland Structure and Karstic Groun Water Circulation in the Eastern Gros Ventre Range, Wyoming
Purpose
The objective of this study is to characterize
groundwater recharge and storage in the Paleozoic rocks in
the eastern Gros Ventre Range, a Laramide foreland uplift in
northwest Wyoming. The ground water recharge and storage
characteristics of the eastern Gros Ventre Range are a
direct result of the foreland style of deformation and the
lithologies and permeabilities of the Paleozoic rocks
involved in this deformation. Therefore, before discussing
ground water recharge and storage in detail, it is necessary
to set forth the structural geometry and the lithologic and
permeability characteristics of the Paleozoic rocks in the
eastern Gros Ventre Range.
