On the flow of water in an elastic artesian aquifer
C. E. Jacob
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 574-586
Slichter showed in 1898 that a solution may be obtained for a given problem in the steady motion of ground‐water by solving the familiar Laplace equation and that therefore in steady‐state conditions a problem in the motion of ground‐water is mathematically analogous to a problem in the steady flow of...
Additional evidence on the relation of temperature to structure in the Salt Creek Oil field, Natrona County, Wyoming
C. E. Van Orstrand
1940, Geophysics (5) 47-56
Observations of bottom hole temperatures in approximately 100 deep wells in the Salt Creek field have been made during the past few years by the Stanolind Oil and Gas Company. These recent observations confirm and extend in a remarkable manner the results obtained in the summers of 1922 and 1923 ...
A brief review of ground‐water conditions in Michigan
Charles L. McGuinness
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 1122-1126
The State of Michigan makes up about one‐half of the area of the great Michigan Synclinal Basin, the remainder of which embraces Lakes Michigan and Huron and small parts of Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Ontario [see 1 (p. 7) of “References” at end of paper]. The Basin has characteristics...
The contamination of ground‐water by salt water near Parlin, New Jersey
H.C. Barksdale
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 471-474
The classic studies of Badon Ghyben [see 1 of “References” at end of paper] and Alexander Herzoerg [2].that defined the basic principles governing the relation between salt water and fresh water in water‐bearing sands are now fairly well known. They showed that fresh water floats on the heavier salt Water...
Ground‐water recharge in areas of deep water‐table in the Great Plains
R.C. Cady
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 570-574
It is unanimously agreed, I think, that of the water which falls upon the Earth's surface, a part runs off toward the sea, a part is at least temporarily detained, a part of it evaporates, and a part sinks beneath the ground‐surface. But among students of that water which sinks...
Ground‐water problems in Ohio, with special reference to the industrial area of Cincinnati in Butler and Hamilton counties
F.H. Klaer Jr.
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 1126-1131
The importance of ground‐water as a natural resource to be used for water‐supply and industrial purposes is often overlooked by the general public. A recent survey conducted by the Engineering News‐Record [see 1 of “References” at end of paper], based on data obtained from State Sanitary engineers, shows that 9,100...

Determination of Manning's N from vertical‐velocity curves
Walter B. Langbein
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 618-620
Professor M. P. O'Brien [see 1, 2 of “References” at end of paper] has recently shown that data on the vertical distribution of velocity through the theory of turbulent flow as developed by Prandtl, Von Karman, and others may be applied to the determination of friction‐coefficients in open channels. Hydrographers...
Salt‐water intrusion in the Connecticut River
C. S. Howard
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 355-357
The intrusion of salt water in the lower Connecticut River Basin was studied during October 1, 1934, to June 30, 1939. The field‐ and laboratory‐work was done as a project of the Works Progress Administration under the sponsorship of the State Water Commission of the State of Connecticut. Some technical...
The evaluation of magnetic anomalies by means of scales
Irwin Roman
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 319-321
At the 1939 meeting of the Union [Fundamental research in geophysics relating to prospecting, Trans. Amer. Geophys. Union, 1939, pp. 302 and 390], the writer described a set of scales for aiding in the evaluation of the magnetic anomaly due to a selected magnetized body. During the past year, these...

Magnetic studies of the Florida peninsula
F.W. Lee, J.H. Swartz
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 297-301
This investigation was undertaken primarily as a pilot‐experiment for gaining information concerning the field‐technique and accuracy which is needed for covering large areas in detail and at the same time economically. Owing to the complex nature of magnetic observations, such a pilot‐study serves, in addition, as a basis for determining...
