Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Plateau of south-central Missouri, and Bear Cave Hollow (BCH), one of TCC's surface drainage streams, bed load entrainment and transport dynamics of mainly siliciclastic material, was evaluated using hydrological measurements and 670 painted tracer...
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 the Rio Grande rift, is host...
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 exposed on Prince of Wales...
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 ...
Rheological and morphological evolution of basaltic lava flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Over 500 million people live in proximity of an active volcano globally. Although lava flows rarely endanger human life, they often destroy critical infrastructure. Advancing our understanding of lava flow dynamics is ...
Coprolites of the late eocene using virtual paleontology from the Pipestone Springs Main Pocket, Montana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The study of coprolites and their internal constituents has previously employed a predominantly destructive means of extraction, resulting in the partial or complete loss of the specimen. Recently, however, there have been ...
Temporal trends in the Holocene: exploring implications for conservation paleobiology through quantitative assessment of marine mollusks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Conservation paleobiology is a relatively new field which applies the theories and analytical tools of paleontology to problems concerning the conservation of biodiversity. The use of data from stratigraphy, sediment or ...
Igneous intrusions and thermal evolution in the Raton Basin, CO-NM: contact metamorphism and coal-bed methane generation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Tertiary mafic dikes and sills intrude coal-bearing formations of the Raton Basin. This study investigates the role of intrusions in generating methane from coal. Coal samples at four different outcrops were analyzed by ...
Anisotropy and mantle flow of the Indo-Burma subduction zone from shear wave splitting and shear wave splitting tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The Indo-Burma subduction zone lies on the eastern boundary of the 1500 km long Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt. Despite highly oblique plate motion with limited arc development, convergence is still ongoing with the potential ...
Taphonomic characteristics of fossils on the burgessshale-type spectrum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"Study of exceptional fossil preservation tends to yield exciting results. Since soft-bodied organisms and the soft tissues of biomineralizing organisms are usually not preserved in the fossil record, instances of soft-tissue ...
