Application of Brianchon's theorem to construction of geologic profiles
J.B. Mertie Jr.
1948, Geological Society of America Bulletin (59) 767-786
Brianchon's theorem states that the three diagonals joining opposite vertices of a hexagon circumscribed about a conic are concurrent. A corollary of this theorem applies to a pentagon so that the points of tangency of an inscribed conic may be located. Any five non-concurrent straight lines in a plane, no...
Preliminary report on the stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Ipnavik River, Alaska
Karl Stefansson
1948, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 16
Geological Survey Party 1 returned to Umiat from Wolf Creek on August 5. Plans for the field season of 1947 called for geologic reconnaissance along part of the Ipnavik River and along the Colville River between the Ipnavik and Kurupa Rivers, to be completed before the end of the season....
Some solutional features of the limestone near Lexington, Kentucky
D.K. Hamilton
1948, Economic Geology (43) 39-52
Field work on the Ordovician limestones and shales of the Lexington area, Kentucky, has shown that no appreciable quantity of ground water is transmitted through interstitial openings in these rocks. Ground-water movement is restricted to joint planes and, to a lesser extent, bedding planes that have been enlarged by solution....
Annual rainfall and runoff in New England 
J.J. McAleer, C. E. Knox
1948, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (29) 903-908
This paper presents the results of studies of average rainfall and runoff, developed in the Office of the Division Engineer, New England Division, United States Corps of Engineers, in cooperation with the District Engineer, United States Geological Survey, and prepared in connection with flood‐control studies of the Connecticut and Merrimack...
Age of the Kingsbury conglomerate is Eocene 
Roland W. Brown
1948, GSA Bulletin (59) 1165-1172
The Kingsbury conglomerate and immediately overlying gravels on the east side of the Bighorn Mountains in Wyoming interfinger eastward with “Wasatch” strata. The latter contain Eocene vertebrates, species of which have been found in the Kingsbury conglomerate. In addition, the “Wasatch” strata contain an Eocene...
Quality of water in the upper Colorado River basin
C. S. Howard
1948, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (29) 375-378
In a drainage area as large as the Colorado River Basin there are naturally large differences in the quality of the surface waters. The chemical character of the water at six gaging stations on the Colorado River from near the headwaters to near the mouth is shown by the analyses...
Fluctuations in concentration of dissolved solids of some southwestern streams
J.D. Hem
1948, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (29) 80-84
The concentration of dissolved solids in waters of streams of the Southwestern United Stated fluctuates widely as the stream discharge changes. These fluctuations may be extensive in a period of a few days or even a few hours. Data in this paper show the extent of the day‐to‐day changes in...
Geology and ground-water resources of Iwo Jima 
F. A. Swenson
1948, GSA Bulletin (59) 995-1008
Iwo Jima, in the western Pacific Ocean, consists of Motoyama, a broad volcanic cone, at the north, and Mt. Suribachi at the south, with an undulating isthmus between. Motoyama is largely light-gray-buff tuff. A thick andesitic lava flow under Suribachi, exposed in several places, is overlain by a thick deposit...
Reefs of Bikini, Marshall Islands 
J. I. Tracey Jr., H.S. Lapham, J. E. Hoffmeister
1948, GSA Bulletin (59) 861-878
Systematic surveys made at Bikini before and after the atomi bomb tests (Operation Crossroads) in the summer of 1946 afforded an unusual opportunity to examine the reefs and islands of one of the larger atolls of Micronesia. The existing reef appears to be developed on an older surface that extends...
