BY JOHN M. NICKLES. INTRODUCTION. The bibliography of North American geology, including paleon­ tology, petrology, and mineralogy, for the year 1913 follows the plan and arrangement of its immediate predecessors, the bibliogra­ phies for 1906-7,1908,1909,1910,1911, and 1912 (Bulletins 372, 409, 444, 495, 524, and 545 of the U. S. Geological Survey). It includes publications bearing on the geology of the Continent of North America and adjoining islands, also Panama and the Hawaiian Islands. Papers by American writers on the geology of other parts of the world are not included. Textbooks and papers general in character by American authors are included; those by foreign authors are excluded unless they appear in American publications. As heretofore, the papers, with full title and medium of publica­ tion and explanatory note when the title is not fully self-explana­ tory, are listed under the authors, arranged in alphabetic order. The author list is followed by an index to the literature listed. In this index the entries in one alphabet are of three kinds first, sub­ ject, with various subdivisions, to enable the specialist to ascertain readily all the papers bearing on a particular subject or area; sec­ ond, titles of papers, many of them abbreviated or inverted, under their leading words;* and third, cross references, which have been freely used to avoid too much repetition. The subjects have been printed in black-faced type, the titles of papers and cross references in ordinary type. As it may not be always obvious which subject headings have been adopted, a classified scheme of those used imme­ diately precedes the index. Miss Isabel P. Evans has given efficient assistance in the work. The bibliography of North American geology is comprised in the following bulletins of the United States Geological Survey: No. 127 (1732-1892); Nos. 188 and 189 (1892-1900) ; No. 301 (1901-1905) ; No. 372 (1906-7); No. 409 (1908); No. 444 (1909); No. 495 (1910); No. 524 (1911); No. 545 (1912); and No. 584 (1913). 5 SERIALS EXAMINED.

HEALY completedthree missions to supportArctic researchduring the Arctic West Summer 2007(AWS-07) deployment. The first mission,HLY 07-01,was conducted in supportof the BeringEcosystern Study, or B-E-S-T. Scientificresearch objectives for the missionincluded charactenzationof ice; hydrographicand nutrient analysis of ice-edgeand ice-free regions; planktonidentification; and tracking of nutrientlevels. HEALY operatedfor 32 daysin the centralBering Seaand the areabounded by the InternationalDate Line, St. LawrenceIsland, Nunivak Islandand the Pribilof Islands,visiting a total of 216stations. The embarkedcivilian helicopterprovided ice reconnaissance,assisted scientists in conductingmarine mammal surveys,and enabled numerous passenger transfers to-and-from nearby island communities. HEALY's secondmission, HLY 07-02,continued a long-term(1950-present) assessment of deep seabenthos in the BeringSea. Scientistsperformed numerous over-the-side evolutions, includingVan Veengrabs, bottom trawls, HAPS cores, CTD casts,and plankton net tows. The third andfinal missionof the 2007deployment, HLY 07-03,comprised a detailedgeophysical surveyof the seafloornorth of Barrow,AK. To facilitatemapping of specificbenthic features, scientistsprovided tracklines for the Officerof the Deck (OOD)on the Bridgeto follow, or positionedthe cursoron HEALY's SeaBeamdisplay and asked the OOD to proceedtoward the cursor.

    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003

    Intoduction to SNOW PASS - GMC 2003 Welcome to Snow Pass. This is the first GMC to be held at this location, and as far as we can ascertain, you are only the second group to have ever camped amongst this group of lakes. Many GMC’s are situated in valleys; however, this site is unusual as you are on the Continental Divide at an E-W “pass” between the Sullivan and Athabasca rivers, this is the arbitrary division between the Columbia Icefield to the south and the Chaba/Clemenceau Icefields to the north. But, you are also at a N-S pass between the Wales and “Watershed” glaciers, so you are at a “four way intersection” and from Base Camp you can access seven (7) different glacier systems. An intriguing local feature is the snout of the “Watershed” glacier, which actually divides so that it flows both west to join the Wales Glacier and thus drains to the Pacific and also turns east and feeds to the Arctic, which is why it is called the “Watershed” Glacier. In 2003, it may not be too obvious why in 1919 the Alberta/British Columbia Interprovincial Survey called this location “Snow Pass” but in the 1930’s (and even ? the early 1950’s) your Base Camp was still completely ice covered! There was permanent ice/snow from the “Aqueduct” to the “Watershed” to the “Toronto” Glaciers, an area of snow 5 km E-W and 10km N-S. Thus, in 1919, it really was a “snow pass”. See the appended “deglaciation” map. There is a wonderful photograph taken from the summit of Sundial peak in 1919 in the A/BC Volume, p.

Laboratory August 1980 Prepared for the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation under its Contract with the U.S. Department of Energy Pacific Northwest Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 PREFACE Associated with commercial nuclear power production in the United States is the generation of potentially hazardous radioactive waste products. The Department of Energy (DOE), through the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) Program and the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI), is seeking to develop nuclear waste isolation systems in geologic formations. These underground waste isolation systems will preclude contact with the biosphere of waste radionuclides in concentrations which are sufficient to cause deleterious impact on humans or their environments. Comprehensive analyses'of specific isolation systems are needed to assess the post-closure expectations of the systems. The Assessment of Effectiveness of Geologic Isolation Systems (AEGIS) .' Program has been established for developing the capability of making those analys;s! Among the analysis'required for the system evaluation is the detailed assessment of the post-closure performance of nuclear waste repositories in geologic formations. This assessment is concerned with aspects of the nuclear program which previously have not been addressed. The nature of the isolation systems (e.g., involving breach scenarios and transport through the geosphere) and the great length of time for which the wastes must be controlled dictate the development, demonstration, and application of novel assessment capabili­ ties. The assessment methodology must be thorough, flexible, objective, and scientifically defensible.

The timing and mechanism of the rise of atmospheric pO2 level in the early Precambrian have been long debated but no consensus has been reached. The oxygenation of the atmosphere and oceans has significant impacts on the evolution of the biosphere and the geochemical cycles of redox-sensitive elements. In order to constrain the evolution of the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere, and geochemical cycles of elements, a systematic and multidisciplinary

[1] We have determined the chemical erosion yields for fifteen watersheds in New Zealand, ranging in size from 12.2 to 2928 km2. These rates, coupled with previously measured physical erosion yields, allow us to compare these two modes of landscape denudation. The physical erosion yields are some of the highest measured in the world. Although in most instances the chemical erosion yields are only a small fraction of the total erosion yields, the absolute values are very high. Our data strongly support the notion that chemical erosion rates are greatly influenced by the yield of physical erosion and that the rapid production of fresh surfaces as a result of high physical erosion rates and subsequent denudation is critical to the high chemical erosion yields observed.
