Earth In Four Dimensions: Development Of The Ideas Of Geologic Time And History, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

Changes in ideas and in technology can come about as slow incremental modifications, as well as by major paradigm shifts. In the case of the development of the ideas of geologic history and time, I will try to present these changes broadly and then look at how some of these have affected interpretation of Nebraska geology. Changes of view on three fronts were important in the development of geologic history and time concepts.

First is the question of the nature of time. Is time cyclic or is it linear? The Greco-Oriental cultures had a world view based on cosmic cycles, …

Morphology Of Wetland Streams, Michael C. Jurmu

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Recent understanding and concern with wetland environments has resulted in an increase in restoration and creation projects aimed at replicating these ecosystems. The unique characteristics within wetland environments result in different controls on streams traversing these areas, yet little research has been conducted to determine whether the morphology of these streams differs from streams in non-wetland, alluvial environments. Wetland streams from three different physiographic regions of the U.S. are compared to four morphological models and 12 additional features cited as typical in non-wetland streams. Analysis of this comparison will aid in determining whether wetland streams have differing morphology and which …

Cheyenne County Test-Hole Logs: Nebraska Water Survey Test-Hole Report No. 17, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

In 1930, the Conservation and Survey Division (CSD) of the University of Nebraska and the United States Geological Survey began a program of cooperative groundwater studies in Nebraska. Since then test drilling by use of rotary drilling equipment has been an integral part of that program. This report contains logs of all the test-holes drilled in the county under the program as well as those drilled by the Conservation and Survey Division with financial assistance from other government agencies. Also included are logs of test-holes drilled by cooperators with the South Platte Natural Resources District.

The maps in this report …

Geology And Ground Water, Garden County, Nebraska, Robert F. Diffendal Jr.

Robert F. Diffendal, Jr., Publications

All of Garden County (Nebraska) is underlain by the Brule Formation. This formation is tightly cemented and yields sufficient water to wells only in areas where the siltstone has been fractured. In most places the Brule Formation forms an impermeable seal that prevents water from moving downward from the overlying aquifers. The Arikaree Group is unimportant as an aquifer in the county, but the younger Ash Hollow Formation is important, particularly beneath the Cheyenne Tableland. Most, if not all, of the domestic and livestock wells on the tableland tap this aquifer. The thickness of the Ash Hollow Formation is 100 …

Nineteen participants completed the 2018 Water Leaders Academy bringing the total number of graduates to 120 since the inception of the program in 2011. Assessment of participants’ transformational leadership skills, champion of innovation skills, water knowledge and engagement, civic capacity, and entrepreneurial leadership behaviors showed a significant increase over the course of the year, from both participants’ and their raters’ perspectives. Feedback from participants was highly positive and constructive. Participant concerns were addressed, and only minor changes are planned for the 2019 Academy curriculum. Results of the program assessment indicate that the curriculum is meeting Academy objectives. Most importantly, Alumni …
