Ash Hollow Historical Park, Robert F. Diffendal Jr. May 1980

Ash Hollow Historical Park, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

Ash Hollow Creek is an intermittent stream forming a southern tributary to the North Platte River. The creek flows only in response to precipitation from locally heavy thunderstorms or to heavy runoff from melting snow in the spring. Western Nebraska has a semi-arid climate and receives less than 20 inches of rainfall per year. Vegetation in the park and surrounding area is typical of the short grass prairie of the Great Plains. Native short grasses grow abundantly on undisturbed tablelands, valley sides, and along principal flood plains of streams and rivers. Prickly pear, barrel cactus, yucca and sagebrush are common …


Himalayan And Trans-Himalayan Glacier Fluctuations And The South Asian Monsoon Record, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Gerard P. Pregent, Peter A. Jeschke, Naseeruddin Ahmad Jan 1980

Himalayan And Trans-Himalayan Glacier Fluctuations And The South Asian Monsoon Record, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Gerard P. Pregent, Peter A. Jeschke, Naseeruddin Ahmad

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship

Termini fluctuations for glaciers in the Himalayas and Trans-Himalayas are examined for the period AD 1850 to 1960. This period can be characterized as one of general retreat. Differentiation by geographic subdivision, however, reveals that Himalayan glaciers (best exemplified in Lahaul-Spiti, Kolahoi, Nanga Parbat, and Garwhal) show consistent retreat throughout the period, while Trans-Himalayan glaciers (best exemplified on the north side of the Karakoram and in Batura Mustagh and Rakaposhi-Haramosh) deviate from this pattern by displaying a major period of advance from AD 1890 to 1910. Although no apparent relationship exists between the magnitude of termini advances and glacier lengths, …


An Example Of Eskers Formed In Stagnant Ice, David H. Coupland, Paul Andrew Mayewski Jan 1980

An Example Of Eskers Formed In Stagnant Ice, David H. Coupland, Paul Andrew Mayewski

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship

Study of stratified glacial deposits near Farmington, New Hampshire reveals that the retreat of Late Wisconsin ice in this area proceeded by means of ice-marginal stagnation. Eskers in t his area were formed within localized ice masses a t or near the base of thin ice by streams which had dendritic patterns and were subaerially exposed.


Characteristics And Significance Of Rock Glaciers In Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Jon Hassinger Jan 1980

Characteristics And Significance Of Rock Glaciers In Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, Paul Andrew Mayewski, Jon Hassinger

Earth Science Faculty Scholarship

[From the introduction] Rock glaciers, large-scale masses of frozen debris...form a group of features that, because of their dependence on temperature and precipitation, can be used as monitors of climatic change.

A Statistical Analysis Of The Quality Of Surface Water In Nebraska, R. A. Engberg Jan 1980

A Statistical Analysis Of The Quality Of Surface Water In Nebraska, R. A. Engberg

Publications of the US Geological Survey

This report provides descriptive statistics for 29 chemical or biological constituents for 109 stream sites in Nebraska sampled by the U.S. Geological Survey beginning in 1946. Also provided for each site are regression equations relating specific conductance to each of 12 chemical constituents and a regression equation relating specific conductance to stream discharge. The descriptive statistics are presented by river basins. Water leaving these basins that has the lowest mean specific conductance (266 umho/cm) is from the Niobrara River at Verdel, and water that has the highest (1,890 umho/cm) is from the South Platte River at Roscoe. Statewide, the principal …
