Structural control of ore deposition at Kasaan Peninsula, southeastern Alaska
L.A. Warner, E. N. Goddard
1946, Article
Copper‐bearing magnetite deposits and associated copper deposits at Kasaan Peninsula, Prince of Wales Island, southeastern Alaska, have been known for many years and have been mined to some extent for their copper content. At the beginning of World War II, the development of war industries in the Pacific northwest focused attention...
A portable differential thermal analysis unit for bauxite exploration
S. B. Hendricks, R. A. Nelson
1946, Economic Geology (41) 64-76
A small differential thermal analysis unit that embodies the fundamental features of larger laboratory models is designed for field exploration for bauxite and related materials. The apparatus, requiring only a source of electrical power, combines portability with ease of operation and rapid analysis. The portable unit is suitable for quantitative...
Contribution to the petrography of Haleakala Volcano, Hawaii 
G. A. Macdonald, H. A. Powers
1946, GSA Bulletin (57) 115-124
The volcanic rocks of Haleakala Volcano comprise, from oldest to youngest, the Honomanu, Kula, and Hana volcanic series. The Honomanu volcanic series consists largely of olivine basalt, with less abundant basalt and picrite-basalt containing large phenocrysts of olivine. In the Kula and Hana volcanic series there are some basalts and...
Notes on determining the effective distance to a line of recharge
R.G. Kazmann
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 854-859
Increasing emphasis has been given in recent years to the installation of wells in sand and gravel deposits along perennial streams. Under favorable conditions water enters the aquifer from the adjacent stream so that the safe yield is not limited by recharge from local precipitation [see “References” at end of...
Activity of Parícutin volcano from April 12 to May 3, 1946
George C. Kennedy
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 410-411
The activity of Parícutin varied greatly during the period April 12 to May 3. The strong eruptive activity that began in mid‐March, marked on March 17 by the formation of a new boca with a short‐lived volcancito and by external changes in the form of the cone, continued until April...
Radial flow in a leaky artesian aquifer
C. E. Jacob
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 198-208
A partial differential equation is set up for radial flow in an elastic artesian aquifer into which there is vertical leakage in proportion to the drawdown. This differential equation is integrated to obtain two steady state solutions, one for the case of a well in an infinite aquifer, and the...
The glacial anticyclone theory examined in the light of recent meteorological data from Greenland—Part I
Francois E. Matthes
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 324-341
The glacial anticyclone theory, which William H. Hobbs propounded in 1910, is today still the only definitely formulated theory concerning the atmospheric movements that take place over an ice sheet of large extent. It stands chiefly on deductive grounds and contains several features that to climatologists as well as to...
Report of committee on Glaciers, 1945
Francois E. Matthes
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 219-233
To Preston P. Macy, Superintendent of Olympic National Park, the Committee is indebted for the first data on the recession of the Blue Glacier, one of the major ice streams on Mount Olympus. Annual measurements to its terminus were begun in 1938, the year in which Olympic National Park was...
Appendix A—Report of the subcommittee on permeability
C. E. Jacob
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 245-256
The Subcommittee on Permeability of the Permanent Research Committee on Ground Water of the Section of Hydrology, was organized in 1943 to provide for the open discussion of the terminology relating to permeability with a view toward the elimination of conflicting usages and the clarification and standardization of acceptable terms....
Appendix B—Notes on the permeability coefficient and its units
V.C. Fishel
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 256-269
In the development of terms and units for a new science such as ground‐water hydrology, which is based on physics, it would seem fitting to adopt the terminology that has become standard in other branches of physics such as heat and electricity. Darcy's law has its counterpart in similar laws...
Appendix D—Notes on Darcy's law and permeability
C. E. Jacob
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 265-673
In any effort to establish nomenclature relating to the flow of fluids through porous media it would seem well first to consider the history of the development of our concepts and of the terms or expressions involved. Only in this way can precedent rightfully be honored and at the same...

Discussion of “Forecasting stream‐flow of the Salt River, Arizona”
M. I. Rorabaugh
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 441-443
Matthew I. Rorabaugh (U.S. Geological Survey, Louisville, Kentucky, August 27, 1945)—In regions where snow is not a factor there is some advantage in making forecasts based on the effects of travel time and base flow. However, the runoff which results from precipitation during the period of forecast usually constitutes a...
Report of Committee on Runoff—1944–1945
R. W. Davenport
1946, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (27) 121-123
The membership of the committee has been selected to afford good representation of geographic sections and of organizations engaged in runoff research.
