  • Rartioter Vol
    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.

  • Karst Features — Where and What Are They?
    Karst Features — Where and What are They? This story was made with Esri's Story Map Journal. Read the interactive version on the web at https://arcg.is/jCmza. Iowa Geological and Water Survey Bureau completed a detailed mapping project of bedrock geologic units, key subsurface horizons, and surficial karst features in the Iowa portion of the Upper Iowa River Watershed in 2011. In the report, they note that “One of the primary goals of the study was to gain more thorough understanding of relationships between bedrock geology and karst features within the watershed.” Black River Falls photo courtesy of Larry Reis. Sinkholes Esri, HERE, Garmin, FAO, USGS, NGA, EPA, NPS According to the GIS data from the Iowa DNR, the UIR Watershed has 6,649 known sinkholes in the Iowa portion of the watershed. Although this number is very precise, sinkhole development is actually an active process in the UIR Watershed so the actual number of sinkholes changes over time as some are filled in through natural or human processes and others are formed. One of the most numerous karst features found in the UIR Watershed, sinkholes are formed when specific types of underlying bedrock are gradually dissolved, creating voids in the subsurface. When soils and other materials above these voids can no longer bridge the gap created in the bedrock, a collapse occurs. Photo Courtesy of USGS Sinkholes vary in size and shape and can and do occur in any type of land use in the UIR Watershed, from row crop to forest, and even in roads. According to the Iowa Geologic Survey, sinkholes are often connected to underground bedrock fractures and conduits, from minor fissures to enlarged caverns, which allow for rapid movement of water from sinkholes vertically and laterally through the subsurface.

To get to the cave from Calgary, one drives the beautiful Icefields Parkway, past Lake Louise and Banff, preferably staying at the Saksatchewan Crossing hotel. Getting to the cave entrance is a full-day ski trip. The cave itself was known early in the 1900’s, and was visited by tourists with horses and mules. The biggest attraction were the sudden floods coming out of the entrance, where the dry opening would change into a roaring river in a few seconds. Modern cave exploration started in 1967, during the summer. The explorers were caught by a sudden rise in the water and trapped inside the first drop. After 18 hours the water level dropped enough for them to get out; soon after that, the waters rose again and ran for weeks.

C. ATKINSON School ofEnvironmental Sciences, University ofEast Anglia, Norwich NR4 7TJ, England, U.K. ABSTRACT In spite of its location beneath high alpine terrain and active glaciers, Castleguard Cave contains many actively growing calcite'speleothems. Four hypotheses as to their growth mechanism were tested against field data on water chemistry, temperatures, CO 2 content of cave air, and evaporation rates. The hypotheses were (1) that a biogenic source of high PC02 is unlikely, so calcite deposition by CO 2 degassing would require a nonbiogenic source; (2) warming of water after entering the cave, or in passage through the rocks above it might cause calcite supersaturation; (3) calcite might be deposited because of evaporation of seep­ age; and (4) waters dissolving several Ca-bearing minerals might precipitate calcite as the least soluble by the common-ion effect.

    .ME’SS.hGE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TRANSMITTIP;G A RmEPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE IN KEI,ATIOI\‘ TO THE l~ORESTS, lZI\‘lSltS, AND MOUNTAlNS OF THE SOlYl’HF,RN APPALACHIAN REGION. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1902. 5% th,r SL')Lcttr and I-lonfW ofR~~~/,~~~sc)ltltli,'eS: I transmit herewith a report of the Secretary of Agriculture, pre- pared in collaboration with the Department of the Interior, upon the forests, rivers, and mountains; of the Southern L4ppalachian region, and upon its agricultural situation as affected by t’lem. The report of the Secretary presents t#he final results of an investigation authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judg- ment of the Secretary and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain lyarts of the Southern States. The facts ascer- tained and here presented deserve the careful consideration of the Congress; they have already received the full attention of the scientist and the lumberman. They set forth an economic need of prime impor- tance to the welfare of the South, and hence to that of the nation as a whole, and they point to the necessity of protecting t,hrough wise use a mountain region whose influence flows far beyond its borders with the waters of the rivers to which it gives rise. Among the elevations of the eastern half of t.he United States the Southern ;Lppalachians are of paramount interest for geographic, hydrographic, and forest reasons, and, as a consequence, for economic reasons as well.
