(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
isotopes and petrography. Reflectance values at sill contacts are elevated over a wider zone than for dikes. Coal [delta]¹³C values increase by 1% approaching the contacts of dikes and decrease by approximately 1.5% at sills due to the addition of ¹²C...
Analysis of landscape characteristics surrounding deer vehicle accidents in St. Louis County, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Increased suburbanization of rural landscapes is leading to a greater number of human animal interactions. One of the most dangerous and costly of these interactions is collisions between vehicles and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus...
