  • Cumulative Bibliography and Index: the Mountain Geologist 1964-2010
    Cumulative Bibliography and Index to The Mountain Geologist, 1964 through 2010 By Michele G. Bishop The Mountain Geologist was first published in 1964 by the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists. This Cumulative Bibliography and Index records the entire publication history from 1964 through 2010. Contents Part I Author Index ……………………………………………………page 2 Part II Geographical Index……….…………..……………………….page 66 Part III Topical Index……………………………….…………………page 80 The first cumulative bibliography for The Mountain Geologist was prepared by John W. Oty and published in the January 1975 issue. It covered Volumes 1 to 11 (1964-1974) and was largely geographic in its categorization of papers. In 1992 Stephen D. Schwochow published a cumulative bibliography and index of The Mountain Geologist for the years 1975 through 1991 (see The Mountain Geologist, v. 29, no. 4, pages 101-130). He then published yearly indices from 1992 through 1995 in The Mountain Geologist. In 1999, Mary P. (Penny) Frush assembled and published these indices and added the additional years with guidance from the format that Stephen Schwochow outlined (see The Mountain Geologist, v. 36, no. 1, p. 1-56). The Cumulative Bibliography and Index was brought up to date in 2001, again in 2010 and now in 2011, by Michele G. Bishop. Many additional people have given guidance or proofed various updates and their time and ideas are very much appreciated. The 2010 update version was reviewed by Ira Pasternack, Mark Longman, Joy Rosen-Mioduchowski, Jeanette Dubois, and Kristine Peterson. Hardcopies of some issues of The Mountain Geologist are available for sale from the RMAG website <www.rmag.org/publications/index.asp>.
