This study illustrates geoarchaeological and paleoenvironmental approaches to the
investigation of an active margin coastal setting and provides examples of how information gleaned through examination of the stratigraph ...
Columbia River Basalt Group dikes cut the tonalite-granodiorite Wallowa
Batholith in northeastern Oregon, providing a natural setting in which to examine partial
melting. Many dikes have up to 5 m-wide zones of quenche ...
This dissertation presents the results of three studies that assessed climate variability on short and long timescales in western United States. The growth of carbonate formations in caves (speleothems) is used to infer ...
Dam removal is increasingly viewed as a river restoration tool because dams affect so many aspects of river hydrology, geomorphology, and ecology; but removal also has impacts. When a dam is removed, sediment accumulate ...
Windthrow has been studied extensively as a cause of mortality and as a landscape
disturbance agent in temperate forests throughout the United States. The effects of
windthrow mortality on stand species composition and ...
The Pennsylvanian rocks in south-central Idaho and adjacent
areas consist of three main facies: a platform facies, a shelf facies,
and a marginal basin facies. The platform facies is represented by
the Amsden, Quadran ...
A per-segment classification system was developed to map aspen (Populus tremuloides) stands on Winter Ridge in central Oregon from remote sensing imagery. A 1-meter color infrared (CIR) image was segmented based on its h ...
The Mount Fubilan Intrusion is part of a geologically young hypabyssal stock in the Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. This stock was mapped as the Ok Tedi Intrusive Complex and divided into four separate bodies: the Mo ...
