W.F. Guyton
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union 756-770
The Houston District, as the term is used in this paper, comprises an area between the Trinity and Brazos rivers in Harris County and parts of Montgomery, Waller, and Fort Bend counties, Texas. It consists of a plain of low relief that lies not far above sea‐level, and is a...
Depth of active solution by ground‐waters in the Pecos Valley, New Mexico
Arthur M. Morgan
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 779-783
The Pecos River Drainage‐Basin is underlain by a thick series of Permian rocks consisting largely of limestone, gypsum (or anhydrite), and halite. The beds have a regional eastward or southeastward dip of 40 to 80 feet to the mile and successively younger beds are exposed at the surface from west...
Ground‐water dams created by faulting of alluvial sediments in the hurricane fault‐zone, Utah
H. E. Thomas
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 775-778
Ground‐water dams are recognized in the unconsolidated sediments of two intermontane valleys in southwestern Utah. Parowan Valley is about 30 miles long and has a general northeasterly trend; Cedar City Valley lies west and south of Parowan Valley, is somewhat larger, and has a more nearly north‐south trend. Great accumulations...

The possibility of seiemic measurement of the rotation of the Earth's core
Archie Blake
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 387-392
The calculations of Inglis show that the rate of transfer of angular momentum to the Earth's (liquid) core may be small enough to permit the axis of rotation of the core to lag about 2° behind that of the rock‐mantle in the precessional motion of the Earth. The travel‐time of...
Factors producing a nine‐year decline in ground‐water levels in Scott County, Kansas
H. A. Waite
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 772-775
In the south‐central part of Scott County, Kansas, there is an area of shallow water‐table in which the ground‐water levels have declined steadily since 1932 (Fig. 1). In this area water has been withdrawn from wells for irrigation in increasing amounts during the last decade and the precipitation has been...
Factors influencing runoff during the flood of December, 1937, in northern California
W.G. Boyt
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 124-129
Engineers and hydrologists engaged on flood‐problems throughout much of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains must deal to a considerable extent with wide‐spread storms covering thousands of square miles. The gradations of meteorologic conditions as regard both area and time are relatively homogeneous during such storm‐events and are...

Magnetic studies by the Geophysical Section of the United States Geological Survey
F.W. Lee
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 460-462
Continued progress has been made in magnetic surveys over large sectional areas by G. R. MacCarthy. Beginning in Florida south of the Okeefenokee Swamp, magnetic traverses were measured and continued through the southern part of Georgia. The most northerly traverses crossed regions where they contacted the crystallines near the surface...
The quicksilver deposits of the Terlingua region, Texas
Clyde P. Ross
1941, Economic Geology (36) 115-142
Texas is second among quicksilver-producing States because of the Terlingua region, in the Big Bend of the Rio Grande. This region contains Cretaceous strata, largely calcareous, which grade upward into Tertiary volcanics, locally without break. The strata are cut by numerous intrusions, largely alkalic, and are extensively folded and faulted.Many...

The effect of a well on the flow of a nearby stream
Charles V. Theis
1941, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (22) 734-738
In many irrigation‐districts where the supplies of surface‐water from a stream nave been entirely appropriated, pumping from wells has been resorted to in order to supplement the surface‐supply. Where the pumps are near a stream that has a flow during the irrigation‐season, either because of normal ground‐water flow or because...
