Amount of ground‐water recharge in the southern High Plains
Charles V. Theis
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 564-568
For the last six years the United States Geological Survey, in cooperation with the State Engineer of New Mexico, has been making somewhat intensive studies of ground‐water in the part of the High Plains that lies in New Mexico, and in 1933 and 1934 the Geological Survey, with funas allocated...
Amygdales in Columbia River lavas near Freedom, Idaho
John C. Reed
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 239-243
Incomplete study of seven amygdales from the Columbia River lava‐flows along Slate Creek, a tributary of Salmon River, near Freedom in north‐central Idaho, reveals that these small objects are of unusual geological and mineralogical interest. This paper includes an outline of the geology of the area from which the amygdales...
Report of the committee on glaciers, 1936–37
Francois E. Matthes
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 293-299
The Committee was enlarged during the past year by one more member, Prof. J. E. Church of Reno, Nevada, Chairman of the Committee on Snow, who agreed to serve on it while the Chairman of the Committee on Glaciers in turn accepted membership on the Committee on Snow. Thus the...
The value of geophysical methods in ground‐water studies
O. E. Meinzer
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 385-387
Two meanings are unfortunately given to the term geophysics. In the broad sense, based on the etymology of the term, geophysics means the physics of the Earth. This is its significance in the names “Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington,” “International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics,” and “American...
The mutual interference of artesian wells on Long Island, New York
R.M. Leggette
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 490-494
The withdrawal of water from a well necessarily produces a drop in water‐level in the well. The ground‐water level in the vicinity of the well from which the water is withdrawn likewise declines, but the amount of decline decreases with increasing distance from the well, so that a cone of...
Report of the committee on chemistry of natural waters, 1936–37

Report of the committee on underground waters, 1936–37
D. G. Thompson
1937, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (18) 318-325
In accordance with the by‐laws of the Section, the Committee on Underground Waters has been reconstituted during the past year. With their research interests turning to other subjects, several members have dropped out, and four new men have been appointed. In order to maintain contact with the work of related...
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...
