Fluctuations in artesian pressure produced by passing railroad‐trains as shown in a well on Long Island, New York
C. E. Jacob
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 666-674
Perhaps one of the chief interests of ground‐water hydrologists is the study of water‐level fluctuations. Since the beginning of the science of hydrology attempts have been made to interpret these phenomena and determine their significance. On the basis of actual observations and “with special reference to Long Island, New York,”...
A conception of runoff‐phenomena
F. Snyder
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 725-738
The problem of transforming observed precipitation into stream‐flow for a natural drainage‐basin can be divided into two parts. The first part requires a procedure for determining the amount and kind of runoff that occurs under various conditions. The second part is concerned with the shaping of the runoff into a...
Earth‐tides shown by fluctuations of water‐levels in wells in New Mexico and Iowa
T. W. Robinson
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union 656-665
It is quite generally known that ocean‐tides produce fluctuations of the water‐level in wells of the artesian type located close to the seashore by periodically changing the external load on the aquifer [see 1 of “References” at end of paper]. Fluctuations of ground‐water as a result of earth‐tides, however, are...
Some features of the Livingston Formation near Nye, Montana
J.S. Vhay
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 433-437
The Livingston Formation is a series of pyroclastic rocks several thousand feet thick cropping out on the north side of the Beartooth Mountains. These pyroclastic rocks grade laterally into the Claggett, Judith River, Bearpaw, and Lennep formations of the Montana Group, according to Stone and Calvert [see 1 of references...
Part III—Fundamental research in geophysics relating to prospecting
Irwin Roman
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 298-303
In addition to projects such as those reported in parts I and II above, the Section of Geophysics of the Federal Government has undertaken a considerable amount of fundamental research.Two such field‐projects may be mentioned, one a magnetometric study in the Comstock District of Nevada, and the other a resistivity‐study...
Report of committee on relation of inch and meter
R.M. Wilson
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 306-308
Those of you who attended the annual meeting of this Section on April 27, 1938, heard a paper entitled “A method for introducing a new standard of length” that was presented by Professor Philip Klssara, calling attention to the Bill then in Congress proposing to redefine the length of the...
Discussion of question no. 2 of the International Commission on Subterranean Water: Definitions of the different kinds of subterranean water
O. E. Meinzer
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 674-677
The hydrologists who are concerned with the study of the water that occurs below the land‐surface feel strongly the need of better agreement among the different countries as to the fundamental concepts of this branch of hydrology and as to technical terms to designate these concepts. For this reason, the...
The possibility of electrical stratification in the Earth as disclosed by surface‐measurements of currents and potentials
F.W. Lee
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 383-389
Early application of electricity to the ground was of interest particularly to telegraphy especially when it was first commercially applied. There was available at that time the Newtonian analysis of sources and sinks in a semi‐infinite medium which could be applied directly to ground‐contacts. Experiments conducted at that time showed...
Volcanic sequence in the Marysvale region in southwest‐central Utah
Eugene Callaghan
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 438-452
As a consequence of the detailed investigation of the alunite and other mineral deposits of the Marysvale Region in southwest‐central Utah, opportunity was afforded to map and study the succession of volcanic rocks that underlie most of this area. The Marysvale Region is part of a large area of volcanic...
Part I—History and activities of the section of geophysics of the United States Geological Survey
F.W. Lee
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 280-291
From the beginning of time, all ingenuity of mankind has been concentrated upon the methods of finding gold and unusual deposits in the earth. An illustration (Fig. 1) from the old treatise by Agricola, “De Re Metallica,” published in 1580, will serve to show the implicit faith of that generation...
Report of the committee on underground waters, 1938–39
David G. Thompson
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 545-555
In preparing the report of the Committee on Underground Waters of the Section of Hydrology for the final year of the triennium, it becomes evident that the collection of fundamental data relating to the hydrology of underground waters continues at a rate comparable to that maintained in the past few...
Relation of fall stream‐flow to spring runoff
H.C. Eagle
1939, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (20) 117-221
In the prediction of spring runoff from precipitation‐records or snow‐surveys, one of the factors which seems to require consideration is the amount of water held in ground‐storage. The determination of the quantity of water in ground‐storage is a difficult problem involving soil‐sampling, measurements of ground‐water wells, and measurements of the...
