The movement, heterogeneity, and rate of exploitation of walleyes in northern Green Bay, Lake Michigan, as determined by tagging
The Michigan waters of northern Green Bay are an important center for commercial and sport fishing. This 400-square-mile area has supported a commercial fishery for many years but the development of the intensive sport fishery is more recent, mostly since World War II. The commercial fishery is based on several species, whereas anglers are particularly interested in the walleye, Stizostedion v. vi

Water and the arid zone of the United States
In a pluvial period associated with Wisconsin glaciation the closed basin of the Estancia Valley in New Mexico held a lake which, at its maximum extent, was 150 feet deep and had a surface area of 450 square miles. This basin, with a mean elevation of about 6,000 feet, has at present an annual precipitation of about 14 inches.Estimates have been made of the Pleistocene precipitation necessary to m

Paper A: Terrestrial features of impact origin
Craters made by meteorites striking the earth are discussed, with attention given to geological evidence for discriminating them from craters formed by other structural processes. The major known meteorite craters are briefly described, as well as other features that are considered probable or possible meteorite craters on the basis of less conclusive evidence. Separate tabulations are given of (1

Philosophy for water development
There is probably no one in this room who has not had an experience analogous to the one I here describe. You sat at the dinner table next to a nice lady who impressed you with her breadth of interest in community affairs. She said to you "Oh, you work in the field of water resources.
