Thompson JM, Presser TS, Barnes RB, Bird DB. 1975. Chemical analysis of the waters of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming from 1965 to 1973. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 75-25. United States Government Printing Office. Washington, DC
The analyses compiled here are from 541 samples from 405 different locations of streams, rivers, cold springs, warm springs, hot springs, pools, and geysers. Analyses of Yellowstone Park thermal waters have been reported by many investigators extending back almost one hundred years. The first detailed analyses were reported by Gooch and Whitfield (1888). Alien and Day (1935) were second. White, Brannock, and Murata (1956) and Morey, Fournier, Hemley, and Rowe (1961) reported field analyses of dissolved silica content of hot springs. White, Hem, and Waring (1963) reported six new chemical analyses. Noguchi and Nix (1963) reported partial analyses of five geysers. Rowe, Fournier, and Morey (1973) published the analyses of 166 samples from 89 different locations and the previous analyses of the same hot springs and geysers from 1888 to their study. The analyses compiled here are from 541 samples from 405 different locations of streams, rivers, cold springs, warm springs, hot springs, pools, and geysers.
