Major winter and nonwinter floods in selected basins in New York and Pennsylvania
Walter Basil Langbein
1947, Water Supply Paper 915
The scientific design of flood-control works is based on an evaluation of the hydrologic factors basic to flood events, particularly how rainfall and snow runoff, soil conditions, and channel influences can combine to produce greater or lesser floods. For this purpose an analysis of the pertinent hydrologic data is needed....

Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1947, Water Supply Paper 966
Five noteworthy floods occurred during 1938 in the North Atlantic States. The first flood was in January, the others were in June, July, August, and September. The floods of January, June, and August were relatively local events in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, respectively. The floods of July and...

Electrochemical stabilization of clayey ground
B.A. Rzhanitzin, V.P. Sokoloff (translator)
1947, Open-File Report 47-27-A
Recently developed new methods of stabilization of weak grounds (e.g. the silicate treatment) are based on injection of chemical solutions into the ground. Such methods are applicable accordingly only to the kinds of ground that have the coefficient of filtration higher than 2 meters per 24 hours and permit penetration...

Results of varying the ratio of largemouth black bass and bluegills in the stocking of experimental farm ponds
E. W. Surber
1947, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society (77) 141-151
During the period 1943 to 1946, several combinations of largemouth black bass (Micropterus salmoides) and bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) were stocked in ponds on the station grounds at Leetown, West Virginia. These ponds were fertilized with 12–5–5, inorganic fertilizer, but when water blooms failed to control the submerged vegetation, sodium...

Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the Wolf Creek anticline, Alaska
Karl Stefansson, R. F. Thurrell Jr., J. H. Zumberge
1947, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 14
In 1946 U. S. Geological Survey Party 2 was assigned the task of carrying out detailed structural and stratigraphic investigations in the area of Maybe Creek*. Field studies indicated the presence of a large anticlinal structure whose axis lies just south of Wolf Creek. Later structural data compiled from aerial...
Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville River north of Umiat, Alaska
Karl Stefansson, R. F. Thurrell Jr., J. H. Zumberge
1947, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 13
The stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville north of Umiat was studied by U. S. GeologicaI Survey Party No. 1 during the period of May 31 to July 19, 1947. The. party, consisting pf two geologists, a cook, and a "weasel" mechanic, left Umiat in two "weasels”....
Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the area of the Colville River between Ninuluk and Prince Creeks, Alaska
R. L. Detterman, D. E. Mathewson
1947, Geological Investigations, Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4, Alaska 12
Geological Survey Party 4 began studies at a point on the Colville River 18 miles downstream from the mouth of the Killik River on July 19. From this point the studies were continued along the Colville River to near the mouth of Prince Creek. The investigation was completed on September...
Preliminary report on stratigraphy and structure of the area of Kigalik and Awuna Rivers, Alaska

J.B. Mertie Jr.
1947, Geological Society of America Bulletin (58) 779-802
The delineation of parallel folds in structural sections, and the extraction therefrom of stratigraphic information, has generally been done with considerable personal interpretation. If profiles must be drawn, or sections measured, from structural observations used in pairs, this is unavoidable; but superior results may be obtained if more than two...
