Within the park there are three large waterfalls on the river and perhaps as many as fifty waterfalls found on tributaries that flow into it.; the gorge formed by the river, with rock walls rising up to 550 feet in places, which narrow to 400 feet across above the middle of the three falls, is how the area became known as the Grand Canyon of the East. CALL FOR PAPERS The Kansas Geological Society Bulletin, which is published bimonthly both in hard-copy and electronic format, seeks short papers dealing with any aspect of Kansas geology, including petroleum geology, studies of producing oil or gas fields, and outcrop or conceptual studies. Maximum printed length of papers is 5 pages as they appear in the Bulletin, including text, references, figures and/or tables, and figure/table captions.

  • 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>.
