Report of the committee on runoff, 1936–37
W. G. Hoyt
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 301-302
Since the last meeting of the Section of Hydrology there has been a change in the organization and membership of some of the research‐committees, one relating to rainfall, of which Merrill Bernard is Chairman, and one relating to runoff, were created to replace the one committee which had functioned heretofore...
Results to be expected from resistivity‐measurements
B. E. Jones
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 399-403
The work described in this paper was all done in connection with dam‐site investigations and was not directly connected with hydrology. However, geophysics is coming to have a place in hydrologic investigations, and these results may throw some light on what can be accomplished by resistivity‐measurements.We have found that,for many...
On the estimation of temperatures at moderate depths in the crust of the Earth
C. E. Van Orstrand
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 21-33
The modern deep well makes it possible to determine the temperatures of the rocks to depths exceeding two miles, and the rock‐samples obtained at these great depths enable the geologist to estimate the depths to the deeply buried basement‐rocks to a rather high degree of precision. The latter estimates are...
Recent geologic studies on Long Island with respect to ground-water supplies
David Grosh Thompson, Francis Gerritt Wells, Horace Richard Blank
1937, Economic Geology (32) 451-470
Recent studies have shown that relatively impermeable clay beds are widespread on Long Island but that erosion channels cutting through them permit restricted recharge of the underlying beds in some parts of the island. Of the more than 200,000,000 gallons of water a day now pumped from wells, about 65...
Isometric block diagrams in mining geology
W. D. Johnston Jr., Thomas B. Nolan
1937, Economic Geology (32) 550-569
In the past five years members of the Geological Survey have gained experience in making isometric block diagrams of mines and mining districts as well as of surface features. This paper presents nothing new, but aims to assemble scattered information on a much neglected method of geological illustration. Plotting mine...
The Ohio-Mississippi floods of 1937
R. W. Davenport
1937, Nature (140) 666-669
Some of the recent floods in the United States have indicated that, in any appraisal of the potentialities of a river system for producing floods, more significance than has perhaps been customary should be attached to the magnitude of the great floods of the past, as disclosed by Nature's records...
Mode of igneous intrusion in La Plata Mountains, Colorado
E.B. Eckel
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 258-260
The La Plata Mountains, in southwestern Colorado, have long been known as an example of a mountain group of the laccolithic type, although it has been recognized that the igneous geology was much more complex than that of typical laccoliths. A restudy of the ore‐deposits of the District, now in...
Preliminary report on the North Atlantic deep‐sea cores taken by the Geophysical Laboratory, Carnegie Institution
W.H. Bradley, M. N. Bramlette, J.A. Cushman, L.G. Henbest, K.E. Lahman, P.D. Trask
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 224-226
A series, of 11 cores from the North Atlantic sea‐bottom between the Newfoundland Banks and the banks off the Irish Coast have been studied by a group of geologists of the United States Geological Survey. These cores were taken by Dr. C. S. Piggot of the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory...

The volcano letter: A weekly news leaflet of the Hawaiian Volcano Research Association - 1937
1937, 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...

Fifty-eighth annual report of the Director of the Geological Survey
Walter Curran Mendenhall
1937, Annual Report 58
During the fiscal year 1937 the Geological Survey continued its systematic work in investigating, mapping, and reporting on the geology, the mineral and water resources, and the physical features of the United States. The results of this work are basic in all conservational activities, as those who plan and direct...
Hawaiian Volcano Observatory record book 1937
1937, Report
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) record books are annual journals in which field observations of eruptive activity at Kīlauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes, on the Island of Hawaiʻi, were compiled by HVO staff for most years from 1912 through early 1966. In addition to descriptive observations, the record books also...
