Metamorphism of the Wales Group and Moira Group on Prince of Wales and Dall Islands, southeastern Alaska
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study examines the metamorphic history of the Proterozoic to Early Ordovician Wales Group and the newly-named Ordovician to Silurian Moira Group ...
Structural geology, tectonic geomorphology, and neotectonics of the central Afar Rift, Ethiopia and Djibouti
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
distributions are found in areas of magmatic extension. Fault throw and fault length scale following a power law relationship where T = 0.031L[subscript 0.96], similar to previous studies in Afar and elsewhere in the world. Combining the power law distribution...
Regional site response and uppermost mantle seismic structure of central and eastern united states
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This dissertation examines seismological data from regional earthquake sources in order to examine the seismological character of the crust and uppermost mantle in central and eastern United States. Firstly, site amplification ...
Spatial, temporal, and petrogenetic relationships of basaltic and lamprophyric dikes and sills of the Raton Basin, southern Colorado and northern New Mexico
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Alkali basalts and lamprophyres commonly occur as sheet intrusions along the flanks of continental rifts. The Raton Basin, on the eastern shoulder of ...
Pluton source varition over two magmatic pulses in the white-inyo range, central-eastern California : implications for paleozoic and mesozoic tectonic reconstructions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
extent of the Mesozoic Cordilleran arc and the western edge of Basin and Range extension. The main goal of this dissertation is to understand the lithospheric structure of this area in relation to the broader regional tectonics. Chapters 2 and 3...
Temperature trends of the Late Cambrian through the Middle Ordovician : implications for Ordovician climate and biodiversification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Ordovician Period includes both the largest and longest period of sustained biodiversification--the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event ...
Atypical planetary lavas: rheological evolution of cooling and crystallizing flows from lunar impact melts and cryovolcanic processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Volcanism is common to many of the solid planets and moons throughout the solar system. On Earth, volcanic research is mainly targeted at hazard assessment and prediction but volcanism on other worlds helps us understand ...
