Volcanic activity on Umnak and Great Sitkin Islands, 1946–1948
F.M. Byers Jr., W. W. Brannock
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 719-734
As part of the United States Geological Survey's volcano program in the Aleutian volcanic arc during 1946–1948, the volcanoes and thermal areas on Umnak and Great Sitkin Islands were studied. In addition to observation of the volcanoes, temperatures of fumaroles were measured and some products of the volcanic activity were...
Recovery of ground‐water supplies by pumping from watertable ponds
Henry N. Halberg, Claude M. Roberts
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 283-292
This paper summarizes a study made to determine whether ground‐water storage in the glacial deposits in the vicinity of Fresh Pond, a water‐table pond used as part of the public supply of the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is available to augment the supply from surface‐water reservoirs.Test wells were drilled; water...
Reservoir systems in Maine
Miner R. Stackpole
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 437-438
The numerous lakes and ponds that are found in almost every portion of the State of Maine are important resources of the state. There are 2222 bodies of fresh water that are classed as great ponds, that is, ponds whose areas are ten acres or more, and the total area...
Report of the Committee on Runoff, 1948–1949
C. C. McDonald
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 911-915
Because of the widely scattered locations of the membership, no assembled meeting of the Committee was held during the year, all discussions being held by correspondence. Consideration was given to three subjects during the year: (1) standardization of terminology as related to runoff (continued from previous year), (2) deficiencies in...
Pedological relations of infiltration phenomena
W. O. Smith
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 555-562
An attempt is made to outline the principal features which are to be considered in infiltration problems. The need for consideration of genetic and morphological relations is emphasized, especially the view that the latter is a boundary condition for the quantitative procedures usually derived from the former. Detailed development of...
The relation of geology to dry‐weather stream flow in Ohio
William Perry Cross
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 563-566
The regime of dry‐weather flow of several streams in Ohio is presented by flow‐duration curves. For comparison, the index of ground‐water flow for each basin is the discharge in cubic feet per second per square mile which is exceeded 90 per cent of the time. These indices are shown on...
Report of the Committee on Groundwater, 1946–1948
S. W. Lohman
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 598-600
No report of the Committee was prepared for the fiscal year 1946–1947, so the present report covers the two‐year period July 1, 1946 through June 30, 1948. Because of space limitations, fits report covers only items of research that have come to the attention of the Chairman. Reports m Hydrology...
Sheet structure, a major factor in the occurrence of ground water in the granites of Georgia
Harry E. LeGrand
1949, Economic Geology (44) 110-118
Increasing demand for supplies of ground water in the Piedmont of Georgia has necessarily focused attention on granitic rocks, which have a considerable areal extent in this part of the state. These rocks have the property generally known as sheet structure. Major parting planes resulting from sheeting are usually sub-parallel...
Vestigial zinc in surface residuum associated with primary zinc ore in East Tennessee
Herbert Edwin Hawkes, Herbert Williams Lakin
1949, Economic Geology (44) 286-295
A series of samples of residual clay at the Friends Station zinc deposit, Tenn., was collected and analyzed for zinc. Results indicate that residuum containing 0.05 percent Zn and more is the product of weathering of limestone and dolomite containing zinc mineralization. Chemical analysis of residual clays for zinc shows...
Research in coal paleobotany since 1943
James M. Schopf
1949, Economic Geology (44) 492-513
The varied applications of paleobotany to coal resource studies, coal technology, and to fundamental physical and chemical research on coal are briefly indicated. The usual conception of paleobotany is not as broad as this, and many of the studies of fossil plants have been conducted without reference to the part...
Origin of the Bendigo saddle reefs with comments on the formation of ribbon quartz
Frederick Mason Chace
1949, Economic Geology (44) 561-597
"Several textural varieties of quartz, together with ore textures and structural relations, indicate that (1) open-space filling, (2) replacement, and (3) growth by accretion were active processes in the formation of saddle reefs and related quartz bodies of the Bendigo goldfield, Australia. The relative importance of each process varied with...
Summary of microfossil investigations, April 1948 to April 1949 with special reference to the south Barrow and Simpson areas
Helen N. Loeblich
1949, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 26
This report summarizes the results of microfossil investigations for he past year. It includes the microfossil data from the two South Barrow Test Wells and studies of samples from outcrop material an from seismograph shot holes. In addition, new information bearing on the special study of microfossils from the Cape...
Heavy mineral zonation of Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks of the central area of northern Alaska
Ernest H. Lathram
1949, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 29
This report presents the general conclusions pertaining to the correlation of Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks in test wells and outcrops in the central area of northern Alaska (fig. 1) by means of heavy minerals. Approximately 1.000 drill and outcrop samples have been studied. In order to relate the materiel here...
Study of radioactive equilibrium in Carnotite ores of the Colorado Plateau
L. R. Stieff, M.N. Girhard, T. W. Stern
1949, Trace Elements Investigations 106
The purpose of this study was to determine the age of Colorado Plateau carnotite. In addition to quantitative analyses of uranium and lead, the radium-uranium equilibrium of each sample was studied. Of the 12 samples studied, 10 are deficient in radium. If a minimum age of 130 million years is...
Submarine geology and topography in the Northern Marshalls
K.O. Emery, J. I. Tracey Jr., H. S. Ladd
1949, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (30) 55-58
The atomic bomb tests at Bikini in 1946 provided an opportunity to study the characteristics of atolls using modern surveying techniques. The work has shown that many of the important features, both above and below sea level, are definitely related to the direction of the prevailing winds, waves, and currents....

Stephen W. Dana
1949, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 4
The seismograph data from Line 27-48 of Party 47 indicates the possibility of a high angle fault win a displacement of roughly 1,000 feet under South Barrow Test Well No. 2. This fault vas discussed in E. Wiancko's report for United Geophysical Company entitled "Report of Reflection Seismograph Survey in...
