    “[1888 graduate student Frederick Haynes] Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'…”

    “... Several things stand out:
    1) the massive flow of the mighty Mississippi and Columbia River systems
    2) the paucity of major rivers in the western US, especially the southwestern US, where the only major rivers are the seriously over-tapped Colorado and Rio Grande Rivers
    3) the local importance of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers in California, which serve the state’s cities and agricultural regions…”

  7. Historian Margaret W. #Rossiter exposed the long-standing erasure of women scientists and named it the #MatildaEffect, after Matilda Joslyn #Gage. Through decades of research, she restored hundreds of women to the scientific record and reshaped how history is written.

  8. Have You Ever Wondered What A New Concrete Stilling Well [stream gauge] Looked Like?
    --
    H/T Roy Socolow, USGS
    "While doing research on the USGS stream gaging program for a local presentation, [he] found this beautiful image of a classic stilling well from the Kentucky archives. Intakes and valve stems in perfect condition, hand pump and flush tank ready to fill, no kerosene or funky well water smell, and the clock weights on the Stevens recorder have plenty of travel room. Makes them] think of the good old days climbing down well ladders to “muck out” wells. Many of these “tanks” of instrument shelters still exist with either working intakes or as converted bubble gages. Many others have been decommissioned due to safety issues (falling or confined space hazards). Thanks to the men of the #CCC and #WPA..."

    Wie Wilfred Genee (58) graag op zijn of haar feest wil hebben, moet diep in de buidel tasten. Wanneer Merel Ek (30) na de uitzending van 'Vandaag Inside' vraagt hoeveel hij precies voor een optreden vraagt, schrikt ze zich kapot.

  12. The Wizard of Oz film, and the novels that inspired it, were deeply influenced by the ideology of radical feminist #Matilda #Joslyn #Gage.

    Gage may be best known as the mother-in-law of Oz novelist L. #Frank #Baum,
    but more importantly, she was an activist, who would be considered as radical in our day as she was in hers.

    “[Gage was] the woman who was ahead of the women who were ahead of their time,” Gloria Steinem said in Ms.

  13. I donated one of my Puget Sound Garter Snake shells to Gage Academy for their online fundraising auction. Besides for my super-awesome shell, there's a lot of beautiful artwork up for grabs. Take a look!

    (And never mind that my art was mis-titled as "...green comma butter" instead of "butterfly." Green butter, mmmmm.)

    Online auction is open April 13-27.

  14. Brass Chelsea Clock Used For USGS Stream Gauging Gifted To Me (c. 1920 (?))
    --
    labs.waterdata.usgs.gov/visual <-- history of USGS stream gauging
    --
    A retired USGS hydrographer gifted me this clock, from an A-35 Freig Graphic Recorder he told me.
    Vintage / historic instrumentation like this is such a – literally - solid reminder of the history of stream gauges and their measurements by the USGS across the USA, from the 1st measurement on the Rio Grande in 1889
    It is a pleasure and indeed an honour to now have it on my office desk.
    EDIT: Chelsea Clock tells me is a "water monitoring movements [they] made back in the [20s and] 30’s for customers like Stevens Water Monitoring in Oregon"
