Description:
Abstract:
This data set consists of the eleven borehole extensometer sites throughout the Galveston Bay Project area. The extensometers are used to measure compaction or subsidence. The meters are monitored by the Harris-Galveston Coastal Subsidence District and US Geological Survey.
Purpose: To display the borehole extensometer locations.
