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 ...
Geochemistry and origins of Mississippi Valley type mineralizing fluids of the Ozark Plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The compositions of fluid inclusions hosted in ore and gangue minerals from Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Pb-Zn-Ba deposits of the Ozark Plateau region were measured to develop a regional hydro-geochemical conceptual model ...
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 ...
Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and the Tibetan Plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] I study the regional seismic phase attenuation to (1) infer rheology and temperature of the crust and uppermost mantle and to (2) develop reliable and ...
Unraveling the fluid-present metamorphism of schists from garnet compositions in the Black Hills, South Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Garnets in Proterozoic metapelites in the Black Hills, South Dakota, were analyzed to determine their pressure, temperature and hydrothermal conditions of growth and to elucidate pressure-temperature-time paths of their ...
Permeability, clay mineralogy, and microfabric of fine-grained sediments from the Nankai Trough and Shikoku Basin, offshore southwest Japan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The Nankai Trough, a convergent plate boundary between the subducting Philippine Sea plate and overriding Eurasian plate, is located off the coast of southwest Japan. This study covers the central portion of the Kumano ...
A comprehensive study of marine sediments of NanTroSEIZE Project, offshore Japan : clay mineralogy, consolidation, and microfabric
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation investigates the clay mineral assemblages, consolidation state, and microfabric of sedimentary strata along the Kumano transect of ...
Fault segmentation and paleoseismicity along the North Wutaishan Fault of the Shanxi Graben System, China
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The Shanxi Graben System has been the location of large, devastating intraplate earthquakes in the past, making it an ideal location for the study of the temporal recurrence of intracontinental earthquakes. This study ...
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 ...
Kinematic analysis of the Debeque Landslide using radar interferometry and change-detection photogrammetry, Mesa County, CO
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The Debeque Landslide is an active landslide impacting I-70 in Western Colorado that is the result of displacement along the southern wall of an ...
Stratigraphic variation of the late Cambrian spice event in upper Cambrian carbonates of southern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Several positive carbon isotope excursions in lower Paleozoic rocks, including the prominent upper Cambrian Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion ...
Two phases of extension in North China since Mesozoic :a numerical study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
The North China Craton was formed around 1.8 Ga by collision and amalgamation of the Eastern and Western blocks. It remained tectonically stable since then until the Mesozoic, when its eastern part experienced widely ...
Seismic attenuation of regional phases in the northern Middle East and eastern Tibetan plateau
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Temperature and composition are two major causes for subsurface seismic anomalies. Positive temperature anomalies will lead to a reduction in both attenuation and velocity; however, compositional anomalies should not ...
Temperature-dependent thermal transport properties of major Archean rock types and implications for the thermal evolution of Archean terranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] While it is generally agreed that plate tectonics operated on Earth in the Proterozoic, a form of vertical tectonics may have operated during the ...
The Anthropocene as kairos : the rhetorical invention of ecological consensus /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Anthropocene is a geological and temporal designation that represents the end of an 11,000 yearlong geological time period and marks the beginning of a new epoch...
Evaluation of solitary waves as a mechanism for oil transport in elastic porous media : a case study of the south Eugene Island field, Gulf of Mexico basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Hydrocarbons in shallow (< 1 km depth) Pleistocene sand reservoirs of the Eugene Island 330 field in the northern Gulf of Mexico basin are thought to have originated from Early Tertiary source sediments at depths of about ...
Investigation of an invasive crayfish and its relation to two imperiled native crayfishes; anthropogenic influences, multi-scale habitat associations, and conservation options
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
, suggesting that it is not taking advantage of stressed aquatic environments to establish and replace native crayfishes. The most highly associated natural factors for all three species related to either soils or geology. Fine-scale habitat use of O. hylas...
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 ...
