CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL Society INTERSTATE Scott L
CAUFORNIA GEOGRAPHICAL SociETY Vol. XXXIII, 1993 CALIFORNIA'S REDISTRIBUTIVE ROLE IN INTERSTATE MIGRATION, 1935-1990 Scott L Kirsch alifornia has for long been the primary geographic focus of west Cward migration across the United States. In recent decades, while California has continued to attract the greatest number of interstate mi grants, the state has also emerged as the country's leading redistributor of population. From 1985 to 1990, nearly 2 million interstate migrants moved to California, and during the same period over 1.8 miUion inter state migrants left California for other states (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). For the third consecutive decade, California not only attracted the greatest number of interstate migrants, it was also the most common state of origin for United States internal migration. In the pro cess of California's interstate population exchange, clear geographic pat terns have developed: Californja has gained population from the Northeastern and Midwestern states of the traditional industrial core, and lost popu1ation to the states of the peripheral West, most notably to Washington and Oregon (Kirsch 1991). Meanwhile, Californja now at tracts more international migrants than any other state (Muller and Espenshade 1985), and with immigration as the largest component of California's population growth, larger than both interstate migration and natural increase, the state's population reached 29.8 million .in 1990 (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993). Bearing in mind these trends in migration flow and population growth, an analysis of California's role as a population redistributor is a crucial step towards understanding the movement and distribution of popu1ation in the United States. -

Brubaker: Dream of Californication: Constitutional Questions Put the Brakes 2011] DREAM OF CALIFORNICATION: CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTIONS PUT THE BRAKES ON THE NATION'S FIRST LOW CARBON FUEL STANDARD I. INTRODUCTION While the federal government struggles to pass a comprehen- sive climate bill, California finds itself in the familiar position as a leader in clean energy and environmental policy by establishing the nation's first low carbon fuel standard (LCFS). 1 Standing in its way, however, are several lawsuits pending in the Ninth Circuit alleging that California's LCFS violates the United States Constitution.2 The plaintiffs in these lawsuits, including ethanol producers, corn farm- ers, and trucking associations, are all fighting to prevent unfavora- ble corn-ethanol regulations from decimating the corn-ethanol market in California, the nation's largest ethanol-consuming state.3 As the scientific community debates the facts surrounding the in- clusion of indirect land-use change in carbon accounting, the coun- try awaits a decision from the Eastern District of California on the important constitutional and environmental issues associated with state regulations of carbon emissions.4 1. -

Den t, Member BULLETIN 5307 RECORDS OF WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS IN SWrSHER COUNTY, lEX'AS 1914 - 19'53 Compiled by C. R. Follett, Engineer Texas Board of Water Engineers Prepared in cooperation with the Geological Survey, Uni ted States Department of the Interior Cecember 1953 RECORDS OF WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS IN SWISHER COUNTY, TEXAS 1914 - 1953 Compiled by c. R. Follett, Engineer Texas Board of Water Engineers December 1953 This bulletin contains measurements of the depths to water below land- surface datum in 93 wells in Swt~her County, Texas. A few measurements made in 1914 by c. L. Baker and in 1936 by engineers of the Resettlement Administra- tion are included in this bulletin. In 1937 an inventory of water wells in Swisher County, including depth- to-water mea~urements, was made cooperatively by the United States Geological Survey and the Texas Board of Water Engineers. Observation wells were selected and water-level measurements have been made since 1937 as a part of a State-wide cooperative program. In 1945 a new inventory was 'made to bring the old records up-to-date. If more than one water-level measurement was made during a month, only the highest water-level is given in this report. The accompanying map shows the location of the observation wells with the well numbers assigged to them in the records. Discussions of the water-level measurements, pumping, rainfall, recharge, geology, and other factors are given in the reports referred to in the following list of publications. -
