The transmission of pressure in artesian aquifers
R.M. Leggette, G.H. Taylor
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 409-413
The water in artesian aquifers is confined under pressure. Under ideal conditions in a perfectly rigid artesian reservoir a change of pressure in one part of the reservoir should produce a corresponding change of pressure in all other parts of the reservoir. Theoretically, the transmission of pressure should take place rapidly and without any movement of water other than the small amount resulting from the compressibility of water. However,...
Ablation of snow‐fields at high altitudes by radiant solar heat
F. E. Matthes
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 380-385
Snow‐fields and the so‐called névés of glaciers on lofty mountains often present a peculiar, honeycombed appearance, the surface being pitted with deep cell‐like hollows a foot or two feet in diameter and from a few inches to several feet in depth. When typically developed these hollows are closely spaced, the divides...
Appendix A—permeability
O. E. Meinzer
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 316-317
In the paper entitled “The measurement of the permeability of porous media for homogeneous fluids” by R. D. Wyckoff and others [42] a unit of permeability is proposed which is based on centimeters, seconds, and atmospheres of pressure (76 centimeters of mercury).In 1923, when the Hydrologic Laboratory of the United...

L. C. Case—Gypsy Oil Company, Tulsa, Oklahoma. W. D. Collins—United States Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. H. F. Flynn—United States Engineer Office, 35...
Appendix C—A selected list of papers relating to ground‐water hydrology
A.N. Sayre
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 318-320
In the following list brief statements have been added to certain references to call attention to special phases of ground‐water problems which are not apparent from the titles. Abstracts of most of these papers have been or will be published in the Annotated Bibliography of Economic Geology. ...
Appendix B—Lake and ground‐water levels
O. E. Meinzer
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 317-318
An outstanding achievement of the Section of Hydrology has been the work of the Committee on Glaciers in assembling the existing records of the advance and retreat of the glaciers in the Western States and in Alaska, encouraging various agencies in making periodic observations, systematizing and standardizing the work, and...
Status of study of the frequency and magnitude of floods by the Mississippi Valley Committee of the Public Works Administration in collaboration with the United States Geological Survey
Clarence S. Jarvis
1934, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (15) 420-421
Active work under the recently authorized project relating to floods and their frequencies began in March, and such progress as may be reported at this time is largely that of organization and preliminary planning.One of the outstanding and impressive features of the organization is the provision for cooperative effort, whereby...
Zoning of ore deposits in and adjoining the Leadville District, Colorado
G. F. Loughlin, C. H. Behre Jr.
1934, Economic Geology (29) 215-254
The ore deposits in the heart of the Leadville district, Colorado, are divisible, as shown by Emmons, Irving, and Loughlin,2 into two main classes on the basis of mineral composition: "contact-metamorphic" silicates accompanied by iron oxides, which adjoin an obscure igneous stock, and mixed sulphides accompanied by manganosiderite and quartz gangue, which cut the "contact-metamorphic" deposits and form a...

Structural history of the fracture systems at Grass Valley, California
W. D. Johnston Jr., E. Cloos
1934, Economic Geology (29) 39-54
In the foregoing outline of the structural history of the Grass Valley intrusive the vein fractures are regarded as elements of the internal tectonics of the intrusive body itself. They originated in an early stage of the structural development of the region, and are equivalent to the marginal thrusts observed in the Yose-mite and along the Mother Lode system....

The volcano letter: A weekly news leaflet of the Hawaiian Volcano Research Association - 1934
1934, 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...

Determination of the common and rare alkalies in mineral analysis
R. C. Wells, R.E. Stevens
1934, Industrial And Engineering Chemistry Analytical Edition (6) 439-442
Methods are described which afford a determination of each member of the alkali group and are successful in dealing with the quantities of the rare alkalies found in rocks and minerals. The procedures are relatively rapid and based chiefly on the use of chloroplatinic acid, absolute alcohol and ether, and...
Part 1. The coal field from Gallup eastward toward Mount Taylor, with a measured section of pre-Dakota(?) rocks near Navajo Church
Julian D. Sears
1934, Bulletin 860-A
The report describes the geology and coal deposits of the southwestern part of the San Juan Basin, N.Mex. The field lies northeast of the town of Gallup, on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, and is an irregular tract of about 630 square miles in central and west-central McKinley...

Some of Alpheus Hyatt's unfigured types from the Jurassic of California
C.H. Crickmay
1933, Professional Paper 175-B
Alpheus Hyatt named a considerable number of Jurassic fossils from California. Only a few of these were described, arid none were illustrated. In this paper 16 of these species are evaluated in terms of present-day nomenclature, figures of the type specimens are shown, and their probable age significance is given....
