The Penetration Of Light Through Snow And Ice Cover, W. C. Croxton, W. B. Thurman, Theodore Shiffer Jan 1937

The Penetration Of Light Through Snow And Ice Cover, W. C. Croxton, W. B. Thurman, Theodore Shiffer

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

During several months of each year, soil and bodies of water in high latitudes are separated from the enveloping atmosphere by a layer of snow and ice of varying thickness. The effects of this insulating layer are not well understood, having received relatively a rather surprisingly small amount of attention by ecologists. It is known that snow cover influences the heat exchange between the surface of the earth and the air. Ice is thought to interfere with gas exchange between water and air and with aeration by wave action to the extent that epidemic losses of fish life occur through …

The Effect Of Cultivation On Certain Chemical And Physical Properties Of Some South Dakota Soils, Oscar E. Olson Jan 1937

The Effect Of Cultivation On Certain Chemical And Physical Properties Of Some South Dakota Soils, Oscar E. Olson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soil Nutrient losses have followed closely in the paths of advancing frontiers in agriculture. Remedies for depletion as the result of overcropping were sought by George Washington, whose interest and investigation of soil nutrient losses probably represent the earliest attention given to land exploitation in the United States, which at the present time has become a problem of national concern. Soil losses have been attributed to a number of causes , among which are cropping, erosion, leaching, burning, and rapid oxidation of organic matter in the soil. Associated with soil nutrient losses, certain significant physical and chemical changes may occur …

Wood Occurring In The Ginkgo And Associated Petrified Forest (No. 1-The Gingko), George F. Beck Dec 1936

Wood Occurring In The Ginkgo And Associated Petrified Forest (No. 1-The Gingko), George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The most interesting single fossil tree, but at the same time the most difficult to determine in the Ginkgo Petrified Forest (Washington), is the tree after which this unusual petrified forest takes its name. The ginkgo is not only the world's oldest and most remarkable living tree, but it has long been regarded as holding the most striking fossil record of any living thing, plant or animal.

Grinding Thin Sections For Determining Petrified Woods, George F. Beck Dec 1936

Grinding Thin Sections For Determining Petrified Woods, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The collector and student of petrified woods cannot long be satisfied to merely place these colorful and interesting specimens in the cabinet with the mere label, "petrified wood." Frequently determining the types of wood which once thrived in a given area is of importance to give a clue to climatic conditions of past geological ages. The collector should at least be qualified to recognize the more common woods and distinguish one family of trees from another.

Spruce In The Western Miocene, George F. Beck Nov 1936

Spruce In The Western Miocene, George F. Beck

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

One of the real surprises in store for us as we began to section specimens of petrified wood from the Vantage and certain other horizons in Central Washington, was the prevalence of a spruce type hardly hinted at in the leaf lists as published for the various sediments of Yakima time (upper miocene?).

A Pleistocene Lake In The White River Valley, Paul Macclintock, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. B. Schultz, Alvin Leonard Lugn Jul 1936

A Pleistocene Lake In The White River Valley, Paul Macclintock, Erwin Hinckley Barbour, C. B. Schultz, Alvin Leonard Lugn

Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences: Faculty Publications

DURING the course of a field conference on the Pleistocene geology of western Nebraska, carved sediments were found in the headwater drainage of White River near Crawford, Nebraska. A reconnaissance of White River Valley revealed them to be present also in the mid-course, near Interior, South Dakota, and at the mouth, near Chamberlain, South Dakota, where the White River joins the Missouri (Fig. 1). These isolated occurrences of varves, over a distance of 240 miles, are so similar that a correlation seemed possible. Furthermore, since the varves occur within the area where Yuma artifacts are found, it was thought that …

A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling Jun 1936

A Study And Application Of The Process Of Supergene Enrichment Of Silver Ores., Arthur C. Verling

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

In many deposits of silver ores the grade of the ore de­creases considerably a few hundred feet below the surface. It is believed that in many cases the better ores owe their richness in part to the process of sulphide enrichment. It is recognized, however, that many rich silver ores are hypogene deposits that have been affected very little, if any, by processes of enrichment.

Chemical Analyses Of Some Oil-Well Waters Of Russell, Ellis And Trego Counties, H. Everett Runyon May 1936

Chemical Analyses Of Some Oil-Well Waters Of Russell, Ellis And Trego Counties, H. Everett Runyon

Master's Theses

Considerable work dealing with analysis of oil-well waters of other areas has been published, but to the knowledge of the author, none has been published dealing specifically with the waters of this area. While the waters dealt with in this paper are not far different from the waters of the Midcontinent area as a whole, there are certain differences which are noticeable. For instance strontium is found in the top waters of the Eldorado, Kansas field. None has been found in this area. The sulphate content of the top water here is very high. Both apparently cause trouble at times. …

The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick May 1936

The Control Of The Grain Size Of Zinc, Oswald J. Wick

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The use of zinc as a structural metal has been militated against by two of its properties, namely, its low tensile strength and its susceptibility to grain growth. The importance of these factors can be appreciated when it is realized that the tensile strength of coarsely crystalline cast zinc is 4,000 pounds per square inch, while finely crystalline cast zinc has a tensile strength of 12,000 pounds per square inch.

A Study Of The Effect Of Oxygen On The Rate Of Dissolution Of Gold In Cyanide Solutions., John A. Cook May 1936

A Study Of The Effect Of Oxygen On The Rate Of Dissolution Of Gold In Cyanide Solutions., John A. Cook

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The accepted chemical reactions in the dissolution of gold by cyanide solutions require the presence of gold, cyanide, water, and oxygen. The importance of dissolved oxygen in cyanide solutions as a factor is recognized by those familiar with cyanidation. Manufacturers of cyanidation equipment realize the necessity of oxygen, as shown by the appliances they have developed which are attached to the agitators in order to saturate the cyanide solutions with air.

Contact Metamorphism In The Highlands, Frank Trask Jr. May 1936

Contact Metamorphism In The Highlands, Frank Trask Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

On the southern margin of the Boulder Batholith, about twenty miles south of Butte in the Highland Mountains, there are many miles of contact between the igneous and sedi­mentary rocks. As two kinds of igneous rocks and many diff­erent kinds of sedimentary rock are present, it is an excell­ent place for the study of contact metamorphism.

The Geology Of A Part Of The Bear River Range And Some Relationships That It Bears With The Rest Of The Range, Vic E. Peterson May 1936

The Geology Of A Part Of The Bear River Range And Some Relationships That It Bears With The Rest Of The Range, Vic E. Peterson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The structure of the western three or four miles of the Bear River range east of Logan, Utah, has many times been alluded to in papers written locally on Cache Valley and the related ranges. There has not however, ever been, to the author's knowledge, an investigation made of this portion of the range for the express purpose of determining its exact structure. Although the area specifically covered by this present investigation is greatly inadequate to base the whole west range structure on, the author believes that the facts brought to light by the specific study of this area, added …
