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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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)Uplift of the basement-cored Wind River Mountains during the Laramide orogeny (ca. 75-45 Ma) produced a series of subsidiary NW-SE trending folds along the southwestern margin of the Wind River Basin. These folds are ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
