Report of Committee on Dynamics of Streams, 1938–39

Abstract

All members of the Committee on Dynamics of Streams have been quite active in the field of the Committee's assigned work and in immediately related activities. Individual members are represented on several of the other Committees of the Section of Hydrology of the American Geophysical Union and on Committees on related subjects of other organizations. This has been advantageous in the stimulation of cooperative effort in the field of the Committee's activity.Last year nine reports of the Committee's membership were presented at meetings of the American Geophysical Union and published in its Transactions. Several other persons solicited by the Committee prepared papers for presentation at the Union s meetings. Numerous articles on stream‐dynamics by the Committee's membership have also appeared in other publications. There have been no changes in membership of the Committee on Dynamics of Streams during the past year. The membership of the Committee is as follows:K.
