USGS Estimates 306 Billion Ft2 Of Recoverable Helium In The US

The natural gas reservoirs of the United States contain an estimated 306 billion cubic feet of recoverable helium, according to a new report from the U.S. Geological Survey. This is the first-ever estimate of recoverable helium resources from the USGS.

“This helium assessment is a perfect application of our long-standing research on geologic reservoirs ranging from natural gas resources to carbon dioxide storage potential,” said Sarah Ryker, USGS associate director for energy and mineral resources. “This publicly available assessment will provide an unbiased estimate of the remaining volume of helium that private markets can rely on.”

Geologists Look To Past For Answers On Future Tsunami Threats

Multiple large and destructive tsunamis in the past few decades — in the Indian Ocean in 2004, Chile in 2010 and Japan in 2011 — have underscored the threat tsunamis pose to coastal regions. Now new research is aimed at better predicting areas threatened by such fast-developing natural disasters.

Documenting and examining recent events does not provide enough information to fully characterize coastal hazards, said Tina Dura, a geologist at Virginia Tech. Dura and colleagues, including lead project scientist Jessica Pilarczyk of the University of Southern Mississippi, are taking a new approach to overcome that information deficit. They are looking at the past to understand what may lie ahead.

John Deere Introduces New H423 & H425 Harvester Heads

This fall, John Deere introduces the new, small-size H423 harvester head and the large-size H425 and H425HD. These new attachments replace the previous H413, H415 and H415HD models. Like its predecessor, these heads have 4WD feed.

The H423 harvester head works on the 1070G, 1170G and 1270G base machines and is ideal for thinnings and other fellings, where the tree diameter at chest height (BHD) is 150-350 mm. With improved hose routing from boom to harvester head, and from valve block to feed motors, this attachment offers improved durability, easy hose replacement and improved hose protection with modifications to the frame. It has an operating range of minimum diameter at chest height (BHD) 40 mm to a maximum 500 mm.
