Extracted Text
The following text was automatically extracted from the image on this page using optical character recognition software:
Field work on the shallow reflection program has been recessed
until spring. Preliminary examination indicates that shallow reflections
were obtained in all three of the test areas, although they were often
discontinuous and showed erratic step-outs which make interpretation
difficult. More work is planned for the spring, in particular using
pattern charges and multiple geophones, to improve the character of the
records. If the record character can be improved, it is possible that
this technique may have a considerable application in problems of uranium
exploration.
Regional geophysical studies
by H. R. Joesting
Aeromagnetic surveys
Aeromagnetic surveys covering about 16,000 square miles have now
been flown in connection with the Plateau Regional Studies (fig. 19).
This includes about 3,900 square miles in the Green River Desert--Henry
Mountains region of Utah, flown in October 1954. In addition, some h,000
square miles in the Urava.n--Moab and the Lukachukai areas were flown prior
to fiscal year 1954 and are available for the Regional Studies. No addi-
tional aeromagnetic surveys are contemplated at this time except of a few
small areas where additional data are required.
Gravity surveys
Regional gravity surveys made to date are shown in figure 20.
During the past six months fill-in gravity surveys were completed in the
Inter-River area, Utah, and the Gateway--Egnar area, Colorado. Details
of the additional coverage in the Gateway-Egnar area are shown in figure
21.
