Stratigraphic measurements in parallel folds
J.B. Mertie Jr.
1940, Geological Society of America Bulletin (51) 1107-1134
Folded rocks having bedding surfaces which are approximately parallel are said to lie in parallel folds. Utilizing the principle of evolutes and involutes, the author offers a more precise definition of parallel folds and points out inconsistencies in other concepts. With the idea of classifying parallel folds and possibly of...
Glacial chronology of the Southern Rocky Mountains
L.L. Ray
1940, Geological Society of America Bulletin (51) 1851-1917
In order to extend the chronology and validate the five substages of the Wisconsin glaciation recognized in the Cache la Poudre Valley in the Colorado Front Range, a reconnaissance was made of the Southern Rocky Mountains, from southern Wyoming to Santa Fe, New Mexico. The chronology determined in the Cache...

This paper summarizes the results of a detailed investigation by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Kansas State Geological Survey, Kansas State Board of Health, and the City of Wichita. The geology of the area has been remapped, and several new formations have been established, including the...

Channel‐storage and unit‐hydrograph studies
W. B. Langbein
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 620-627
Recent studies of the rainfal‐and‐runoff relation tend towards treatment of the subject in two parts, namely, (1) the ground‐phase, which includes the study of such processes as infiltration and evaporation, and (2) the channel‐phase, which comprehends the study of the flow of water in the channel‐system with particular reference to...

Oilfields of the United States
Hugh D. Miser
1940, Nature (146) 437
The modern petroleum industry in the United States of America dates from the drilling of the first commercial oil well in 1859. Up to the present, about a million wells have been drilled for oil and gas, and the total production of petroleum has been 22,452,498,000 barrels, which has been...
The Vaucluse gold mine, Orange County, Virginia
Charles Edward Bass
1940, Economic Geology (35) 79-91
The Vaucluse gold property has been worked intermittently since gold was discovered in 1832. The latest operation was carried on by the V-M Corporation from March 1935 to November 1938, producing 26,452 tons of ore of \$143,760 gross value, of which \$91,569.36 was won in 1938.The host rock is a...
Salinity of the lower Savannah River in relation to stream‐flow and tidal action
William L. Lamar
1940, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (21) 463-470
In order to obtain information needed in planning for industrial development along the Savannah River and in the city of Savannah, Georgia, a study of the salinity of the Savannah River was undertaken by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Georgia Division of...
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...
