Integrating hydrology and geophysics into a traditional geology field course: The use of advanced project options
(Geological Society of America, 2009)
The incorporation of increasingly multidisciplinary aspects of geoscience curricula into a traditional geology field camp requires compromises. Among these, decisions about projects to reduce or eliminate and course prerequisites are two of the most...
Structural analysis of basin margin laramide folding and fault reactivation in the south-central Wind River Basin, Schoettlin Mountain quadrangle, Fremont County, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
. Geologic mapping of the southernmost, up-plunge end of these basin-margin fold structures shows the region to be divided into two structurally distinct zones: a northern zone containing Sheep Mountain anticline (ShMA) and a southern zone containing...
Laramide stress conditions and deformation mechanisms during the formation of Hudson and Dallas Domes, Lander Quadrangle, Wind River Mountains, Lander, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
of the Wind River Mountains. The study involved geologic mapping of surface deformation, collecting and analyzing fault and fracture orientation data, and deducing the folds deformation geometry, folding mechanisms, and associated stresses. Mapping and well...
Influences of pluton growth on magma crystallinity, aureole rheology, chamber stability and metamorphic fluid flow : numerical modeling of the growth of Papoose Flat pluton, White-Inyo Range, California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Magma is a molten rock that rises in the Earth's crust because it is hotter and less dense than the surrounding rocks. If the magma finds a way to the ...
Petrogenesis and tectonic implications of mafic rocks in the Precambrian core of the Black Hills, South Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
, the geologic setting and tectonic events that occurred prior to the collision are still enigmatic. In this investigation major and trace element ICP-OES and INAA data of four suites of amphibolites were used to define at least two distinct tectonic settings...
Midwestern climate records from tree ring [delta]¹³C and [delta]¹⁸O values
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A 504-year tree ring carbon isotopic time series was generated using samples from living and subfossil white oak trees from northern Missouri. Over the interval from 1931-2002 [delta]¹³C is significantly correlated with ...
Geochemistry and reaction path modeling of the Beowawe hydrothermal system, Nevada : a barren end-member epithermal system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The Beowawe geothermal area is manifested by numerous hot springs, fumaroles, and before the installation of an electric power plant, spectacular geysers. Beowawe also bears many geologic similarities to ancient epithermal gold-silver ore deposits...
Late-stage N-S shortening and fold offset during Laramide deformation along the southeastern margin of the Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
in the northern and southern terminations of SMA. Results from geologic mapping and structural analysis of deformation features in the northern closure of SMA, balanced cross-sections, fracture analysis, and a 2-D seismic reflection and refraction experiment...
Analysis of quaternary faults and associated deformation of sedimentary basin fill : inner continental borderland of southern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
-penetration industry multi-channel seismic reflection data (MCS) as well as high resolution U.S. Geological Survey MCS, indicates that many of the offshore faults are more geometrically continuous than previously reported including Newport-Inglewood (NI)-San Mateo...
Composition of fluid inclusions from the cave-in-rock bedded-replacement fluorite deposits in the Illinois-Kentucky district
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The stable mid-continent platform of North America hosts some of the greatest known concentrations of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization in the world. Most of the mineralization occurs between two major physiographic ...
Dominant substrates used by methanogens in hypersaline environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The central goal of this study was to determine the dominant substrates used by methanogens in the salt ponds of Elkhorn Slough, the Don Edwards ...
Rheology of dacitic volcanoes : from magma chamber to eruptive style
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arc and especially dacitic volcanoes present a large variety of eruptive styles, from effusive to explosive, that depends on the ability of the magma ...
Organic sulfur metabolisms in Eastern Lau Spreading Center hydrothermal vents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
. The cultures contained species of Thermococcales, [mu]-Proteobacteria, Thermales, and Aquificales as well as 2 novel bacterial sequences. These data suggest that organic sulfur-based metabolisms may be viable within deep-sea hydrothermal vents....
Oxygen isotopes from conodonts of the mid-continent, US : implications for Late Ordovician climate evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] To test competing interpretations of Late Ordovician climate evolution, sea surface temperatures were estimated from oxygen isotope ratios of ...
Application of remote sensing techniques to determine the kinematics of the Bull Lake Creek landslide, Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Landslides are one of many natural hazards that impact human settlements. On average, each year landslides account for billions of dollars of property damage and claim thousands of lives around the world. Landslides are ...
Receiver function study in northeast Tibet and adjacent boundaries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
As part of the NorthEast Tibetan plateau Seismic (NETS) project, we performed receiver functions analysis across the northeastern Tibetan plateau and adjacent boundaries. Using the data of about 500 events obtained from ...
