Ephemeral streams - Hydraulic factors and their relation to the drainage net Ephemeral streams - Hydraulic factors and their relation to the drainage net
The hydraulic factors of width, depth, velocity, and suspended sediment load of ephemeral streams near Santa Fe, N. Mex., were measured during flood flow. Later, channel slope was measured. These flood-flow data, in conjunction with an analysis of drainage-basin configuration by the methods proposed by Horton, are used to determine the generalized interrelation of stream order and...

Geology of waterpower sites on Scenery Creek, Cascade Creek, and Delta Creek near Petersburg, Alaska Geology of waterpower sites on Scenery Creek, Cascade Creek, and Delta Creek near Petersburg, Alaska
Dam sites were examined at the outlets of Scenery Lake, Swan Lake, and Ruth Lake which are located on Scenery Creek, Cascade Creek, and Delta Creek, respectively. The Scenery Lake dam site is partly in quartz diorite and partly in hornblende plagioclase gneiss. The Swan Lake and Ruth Lake dam sites are in quartz diorite. The bedrock at these dam sites is suitable for the height of dams...

A postglacial chronology for some alluvial valleys in Wyoming A postglacial chronology for some alluvial valleys in Wyoming
Alluvial terraces were studied in several major river basins in eastern Wyoming. Three terraces are present along nearly all the streams and large tributaries. There are several extensive dissected erosion surfaces in the area, but these are much older than, and stand well above, the recent alluvial terraces with which this report is concerned. The three alluvial terraces stand...

The use of soils and paleosols for interpreting geomorphic and climatic history of arid regions The use of soils and paleosols for interpreting geomorphic and climatic history of arid regions
The study of modern surface soils, and ancient weathering zones, which occur either buried or as surface relicts, has contributed materially to understanding the complex events of the glacial and post-glacial period both in glaciated areas and in regions not influenced by glaciation. Most work of this kind in the United States has been done by geologists. Numerous Pleistocene geologists...

Geology of the North and South McCallum anticlines, Jackson County, Colorado, with special reference to petroleum and carbon dioxide Geology of the North and South McCallum anticlines, Jackson County, Colorado, with special reference to petroleum and carbon dioxide
The McCallum anticlines, embracing an area about 2 miles wide and 12 miles long, are about 6 miles east of the town of Walden, Jackson County, Colo., on the east side of the Continental Divide. A cover of flat-lying Quaternary gravel obscures the outcrop of Pierre shale at many points on the two anticlines. Wells start in the upper part of the Pierre and penetrate all of the underlying...
