An analysis of journals used in research in geomorphology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1974)
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...
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...
Seismic studies in the Southern Puna Plateu and the Peruvian Andes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
I present three studies in two regions, both within the Central Andes. In both regions it is clear that there are significant variations in the subduction geometry. I have used surface wave tomography to investigate the ...
Mizzou weekly, volume 28, number 02 (August 31, 2006)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 2006)
Geology of Missouri
(University of Missouri, 1918)
"ln recent years inquiries concerning the geology of Missouri have come to the geological department of the University of Missouri in constantly increasing numbers. In replying to these inquiries it has become evident that a bulletin outlining...
Recent faulting and active shortening of the Middle Atlas Mountains, Morocco, within the diffuse African-Eurasian plate boundary
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The intracontinental Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa are prominent tectonic elements in the broader, diffuse plate boundary zone between the converging African and Eurasian plates. This study focuses on constraining ...
Structural geology and tectonics of the paleoproterozoic rocks of the Mount Rushmore Quadangle, Black Hills, Souh Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Paleoproterozoic assembly of Laurentia occurred between ̃1.96 to 1.70 Ga, and continued with the accretion of island arc terranes until about 1.63 Ga. The Black Hills, South Dakota lie along the eastern margin of the ...
Preservation and bias in the Cambrian fossil record
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
and Spence Shale Lagerstatte of the western U.S. show significant discrepancies in the diversity of each deposit when the published taxonomic record of these Lagerstatten is compared to the taxonomic record of those formations deposited in publicly available...
Surface and deep water circulation in late Cretaceous North Atlantic greenhouse ocean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This research provides the first of its kind empirical data regarding the evolution of Maastrichtian surface to deep ocean circulation in the North Atlantic. Differences in foraminiferal abundances and oxygen and carbon ...
Dynamic links between short-term deformation and long-term tectonics: a finite element study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Geodetic and geological data for crustal deformation are significantly different in many places. This discrepancy may indicate different strain rates in the geological past...
Earthquake interaction along the Sultandagi-Aksehir fault based on InSar and coulomb stress modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The evolution of geologic structures along active faults is influenced by crustal deformation associated with several repetitions of the earthquake cycle, in addition to surficial processes accompanying geologic time. This study focuses...
Annual report of the librarian, 1907
(University of Missouri, 1908)
Characterizing the relative timing and conditions of gold and base-metal deposition in the northern part of the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt, Northwest Territories, Canada
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
A complexity of gold-mineralization styles is recognized in the north end of the Yellowknife Greenstone Belt (YGB), [about]30 km north of Yellowknife. These include volcanogenic massive sulfides, sulfide zones at intersections ...
Changes in stable carbon isotopes of methane along a salinity gradient in a hypersaline microbial mat system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to examine how the stable carbon isotopes of methane and possible methanogenic substrates change in microbial mat communities as a function of salinity. Microbial mats were sampled from four ...
Mizzou weekly, volume 25, number 01 (August 28, 2003)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 2003)
Mizzou weekly, volume 29, number 28 (May 1, 2008)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. University Affairs. Publications and Alumni Communication., 2008)
Resolving space-time strain paths of the Panamint and Cottonwood Mountains, eastern California, through bedrock thermochronology and detrital geochronology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
ages are similar to AHe ages from the Inyo Mountains (2.8 [plus-minus] 0.7 Ma; Lee et al., 2009) that have been interpreted as reflecting the timing of initiation of the Hunter Mountain fault. Together, the new and the published data show a complex...
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 ...
Neodymium and oxygen isotopic constraints on upper Ordovician paleoceanographic evolution across the Dubuque/Maquoketa contact in NE Iowa and SE Minnesota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Measurements of conodonts, phosphatic brachiopods, and authigenic phosphate show no consistent trends in [superscript TM]18O[subscript phos] values but do show a gradual 2-3 unit [epsilon][subscript Nd] increase across the ...
