Water utilization in the Nooksack River, Washington

The primary purpose of the investigation of the water resources of the Nooksack River was land classification. The Nooksack basin lies largely within the Mt. Baker National Forest and a considerable area of public lands will be involved in any plan for the ultimate development of its water power. Surveys on a scale of 1:24,000 and 1:31,680 were made from the mouth of the Nooksack River upstream to

Correlation of ground‐water levels and precipitation on Long Island, New York

A brief though concise statement of the history of ground‐water studies on Long Island, beginning with the early water‐level observations in Brooklyn by STODDARD in 1854, was given by THOMPSON [see 7 of “References” at end of paper]. These and other early data were considered later by LEGGETTE [8]. He evaluated them by means of a graph of the cumulative departure of precipitation. More recent stud

The hydrothermal solubility of silica

The solubility of silica glass in water has been determined through the temperature range 200 degrees C. to 420 degrees C. at a pressure of 300 atmospheres. Some previous investigations of solubility of silica in water, it is believed, have indicated a too great solubility as a result of failure to distinguish true solubility from colloidal dispersion. The solubility is essentially zero at tempera

A graphic procedure in the geochemical interpretation of water‐analyses

This paper outlines certain fundamental principles in a graphic procedure which appears to be an effective tool in segregating analytical data for critical study with respect to sources of the dissolved constituents in waters, modifications in the character of a water as it passes through an area, and related geochemical problems. The procedure is based on a multiple‐trilinear diagram (Fig. 1) who

Early history of the Mexican volcano Parícutin

Owing to the good fortune of being stationed near the new volcano Parícutin when it first erupted, I was able to visit it when it was only a week old. As my observations have been recorded in full in a previous article [see 1 of “References” at end of paper], only a few of the more pertinent features are repeated here, in order to give a setting for the succeeding papers in this symposium.

Parícutin's cyclic activity

Parícutin's volcanic activity during its first year of life included a number of periods characterized by flowing lava. The length of time of individual periods ranged from a few days up to more than a month, and were separated by intervals during which little or no lava flowed at the surface. A cyclic activity is therefore obvious, and a more or less permanent record remains in the form of the la
