Role of physical chemistry in stratigraphic problems
George R. Mansfield
1938, Economic Geology (32) 335-549
Stratigraphy is concerned mainly with the genesis and interpretation of stratified rocks, which include some of wide extent and of great scientific as well as economic interest that are largely of chemical rather than of detrital origin. Chemical agencies have been recognized to some extent in genetic studies of these...
Precipitation and vegetation
Ralf R. Woolley, J.C. Alter
1938, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (19) 804-807
As time marches on, historians are usually quite faithful in recording the activities of man, and it will usually be found that Mother Nature is even more meticulous in reflecting and preserving her experiences, more especially with regard to climate and vegetation. Just how much the activities of man have...
A recording evaporimeter
J. Oliver, N.W. Cummings
1938, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (19) 609-612
The instrument herein described was originally designed and built to record the evaporation‐loss from a standard Weather Bureau pan for use in a study of the variation of flow in Santa Ana River. Valuable suggestions were made by various members of the Water Resources Branch of the Geological Survey in...
Ground‐water for air‐conditioning on Long Island, New York
R.M. Leggette, M.L. Brashears Jr.
1938, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (19) 412-418
During the last five years ground‐water has been more and more extensively used for air‐conditioning on Long Island, New York. The wide‐spread occurrence of highly permeable water‐bearing material and the relatively small cost of installation and operation of a ground‐water, air‐conditioning system has resulted in many such installations by theaters,...
Some mineral deposits of Glacier Bay and vicinity, Alaska
John Calvin Reed
1938, Economic Geology (33) 53-78
Prospecting in the Glacier Bay National Monument has been confined so far to granitic rocks near contacts with Paleozoic sediments, which they intrude.Near Reid Glacier thin veins, a few of which are traceable for about 300 feet both horizontaliy and vertically, trend northerly and carry sphalerite, galena, and pyrite. Gold...
Evaporation and runoff from snow in the Alpine Zone of our western mountains
Francois E. Matthes
1938, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (19) 662
In this informal paper the processes of snow‐wastage at high altitudes were discussed and a number of slides illustrating suncups and sunpits in different stages of development were shown. It was stressed that these features are peculiar to the region above the timber‐line, which biologists term the Alpine, or Arctic‐Alpine, Zone. That regions is,...
Manganese deposits of the Drum Mountains, Utah
Eugene Callaghan
1938, Economic Geology (33) 508-521
More than 15,000 tons of manganese ore has been produced from small deposits in the Drum Mountains in west-central Utah. Lenses of rhodochrosite, now largely weathered near the surface to manganese oxides, lie parallel to the bedding of Cambrian dolomites and shales near faults that are nearly normal to bedding....

The origin of the iron ore deposits in the Bull Valley and Iron Springs districts, Utah
Francis Gerritt Wells
1938, Economic Geology (33) 477-507
A summary of the geology of the Bull Valley district, southwestern Utah, and a description of the occurrence of the magnetite and hematite deposits is given, as well as brief descriptions of the ore pits at Iron Mountain and Desert Mound 20 miles to the northeast, in which deposits formed...
Records of the drilled wells of the island of Oahu, Hawaii
Harold T. Stearns, Knute N. Vaksvik
1938, Bulletin 4
The description, location, log and meter tests of all the drilled wells on Oahu are given herein as of March 1 1938. Except for the discharges of plantation wells, which are published on pages 275 to 322 of Bulletin 1, head, chloride, and discharge records are listed only to the...
Outlook for further ore discoveries in the Little Hatchet Mountains, New Mexico
Samuel Grossman Lasky
1938, Economic Geology (33) 365-389
The Little Hatchet Mountains contain two mining districts, the Eureka silver-lead-zinc district and the Sylvanite gold district, the deposits of each being associated with a mass of monzonite that intrudes Lower Cretaceous sediments. The same formations crop out in both districts, having been duplicated by a large post-ore fault, and...

Third special report of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory of Hawaii National Park and the Hawaiian Volcano Research Association: Ash formations of the island Hawaii
Chester K. Wentworth
1938, Report
The purpose of the study was to determine the areal extent of the various volcanic ash formations, to describe them petrographically and to develop means of discriminating them. The ash formations, long known in a general way, had been only casually observed by geologists. Their interpretation and separation from other...

1938, Report
The Volcano Letter was an informal publication issued at irregular intervals by the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) during the years 1925 to 1955. Individual issues contain information on volcanic activity, volcano research, and volcano monitoring in Hawaii. Information on volcanic activity at other locations is also occasionally included.The Volcano Letter...

Fifty-ninth annual report of the Director of the Geological Survey
Walter Curran Mendenhall
1938, Annual Report 59
Basically important in the general program of conservation and development were the results of the Geological Survey's work during the fiscal year 1938. Investigations of the Nation's mineral and water supplies were conducted with all possible vigor and dispatch, thousands of square miles were surveyed for topographic maps, and technical...
