Rock map of the Yellow River (Huang He) expedition, China, 1925-1927 : Sheet 9

This layer is part of a set of georeferenced, raster images of the manuscript, paper map set entitled: Ch'ing-Hai upper Yellow River expedition : Rock and Simpson, 1925-27, [cartography by J.F. Rock]. Scale 1:250,000. This layer image is of Sheet IX [of 10] covering a portion of the Yellow River (Huang He) region in southern Gansu Sheng and northwestern Sichuan Sheng, China, including parts of Baishui Jiang and Pai Ho (Gar He). The map set details the route and surrounding environs of the Arnold Arboretum's "Western China" expedition led by Joseph Rock, 1924-1927. The set covers a portion of the Yellow River (Huang He) region in south central China (Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan shengs (a portion of historic Tibet)). It shows features, labeled variously in English, Chinese, Wade-Giles transliteration, and Tibetan, including: rivers, streams, lakes, mountains, gorges, valleys, plateaus, plains, cities, towns, villages, provincial capitals, county seats, passes, monasteries, ruin sites, native tribe locations, and more. Relief is shown by hachures, spot heights, and landform drawings. The original manuscript map set is part of the Harvard College Library, Harvard Map Collection. "Joseph Rock traced his travels for the [Arnold] Arboretum's [Western China] 1924-1927 expedition in a colorful, hand-drawn map entitled 'Ch'ing-Hai upper Yellow River expedition.' The pen-and-ink drawing was made on ten sheets that when joined form a single, irregularly-shaped map, approximately six by eight feet in size. The individual sheets are numbered, using roman numerals; on sheet VII is a second title, 'Choni Territory, Upper and Lower T'ieh-Pu country and route to Sung-Pan, J. F. Rock, 1925-1927.' Topographical and other features are identified using a combination of English, Chinese characters, Wade-Giles transliterations and Tibetan script. Rock's attractive cursive style and use of hachures, spot heights, and landform drawings to depict relief add character to the map." -- Text from the Arnold Arboretum Web site.

Geochemistry and microfossil content of surface sediments from the Equatorial Atlantic in samples 207 to 310 from the Meteor expedition in 1925

Als Alfred Merz mich aufforderte, die sedimentpetrographische Bearbeitung der "Meteor"-Expedition zu übernehmen, schwebte mir von vornherein als Ziel vor, die Sedimente nicht nur in größerer Zahl als bisher und im Zusammenhang mit den übrigen Wissenschaften vom Meer nach den bisherigen Untersuchungsmethoden zu beschreiben. Es war mir klar, daß neue Ergebnisse nur zu erwarten waren, wenn die Untersuchung der Sedimente und damit ihre Beschreibung auf Grund vertiefter und neuer Methoden unternommen wurde. Ich erhoffte von einer solchen verfeinerten Beschreibung auch ein klareres Bild der Abhängigkeit der Sedimente von ihrer Umwelt. Wir werden diese Abhängigkeit nur verstehen, wenn wir die allgemeinen Gesetzmäßigkeiten herausarbeiten können. Diese werden dann auch eine Anwendung auf andere Sedimente ermöglichen. Für solche Untersuchungen sind Tiefseesedimente günstig, weil wir bei ihnen relativ einfache Bildungsumstände haben, einfacher jedenfalls, als es in der Flachsee im allgemeinen der Fall ist, ungünstig aber, weil diese Umwelteinflüsse weniger bekannt und schwerer zu erforschen sind und die Auswahl der Untersuchungspunkte nicht nach sedimentpetrographischen Gesichtspunkten erfolgen konnte. Die ersten Jahre nach der Rückkehr von der Expedition wurden deshalb auf methodische Untersuchungen verwandt. Insbesondere kam es mir darauf an herauszubekommen, wie die feinsten Bestandteile der Sedimente zusammengesetzt sind. Diese "tonigen" Bestandteile bilden nicht nur den wesentlichen Anteil der Roten Tone und der Blauschlicke, wir finden sie auch, durch Kalk verdünnt, in den Globigerinenschlämmen wieder. Sie sind von der Wissenschaft bisher recht stiefmütterlich behandelt worden. Die Ausarbeitung der Methoden, die gerade auf diesem Gebiet Neuland betreten mußte, ließ sich nicht rasch erzwingen. Es kam hinzu, daß ich mir in Rostock erst meine Arbeitsmöglichkeiten schaffen mußte. Ich habe hier der Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft und der Mecklenburgischen Regierung für ihre Unterstützung mit Apparaten und Personal wärmstens zu danken. Ferner mußte als Vorbedingung für die Deutung der Sedimente zunächst festgestellt werden, zu welchen geologischen Zeiten sie gebildet worden sind und wie groß ihre Bildungsgeschwindigkeit überhaupt ist. Diese Untersuchungen hat W. Schott mit Hilfe der Foraminiferenfaunen als Notgemeinschaftsstipendiat durchgeführt. Diese Vorarbeiten, insbesondere der Ausbau der Methoden, hatten den Nachteil, daß die Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse nicht so rasch erfolgen konnte, wie ich es selbst gewünscht hätte. Bald nachdem die Darstellung der Methoden und die Foraminiferenuntersuchungen als erste Lieferung erschienen waren, stellte es sich als notwendig heraus, eine beträchtliche Kürzung des restlichen Teiles vorzunehmen. Das hat zur Folge, daß die erste Lieferung breiter dargestellt ist als die Ergebnisse. Als die Nachricht von der Kürzung und dem notwendigen raschen Abschluß des Werkes mir bekannt wurde (Januar 1935), mußte eine Reihe von Untersuchungen eingestellt werden, insbesondere mikroskopische Untersuchungen, die besonders viel Zeit und in der Darstellung viel Raum beanspruchen. Deshalb ist systematisch nur das Guinea-Becken durch V. Leinz und das Kapverden-Becken durch O. E. Radczewski untersucht worden.
