Welcome to the DWLS website! Here you'll find the current (and past) newsletters for the chapter, as well as information on our activities. Please feel free to use the contact links in the menu above if you have questions about the chapter.

If you do any log interpretation at all, you need to check out the Historical Chart Books on CD-ROM that has been made available by the DWLS. Special thanks to Bob Cluff for making this possible.

Another valuable resource, made available by the Phil Nelson of the USGS, is A Catalog of Porosity and Permeability from Core Plugs in Siliciclastic Rocks.
