Paleozoic dolomites, limestones, and detrital clastic rocks
were mapped in the Bellevue Peak 15 minute quadrangle in the
southern Mahogany Hills, Nevada. Sedimentary rock units in this
area represent shallow-shelf eastern assemblage deposits.
Shallow-shelf carbonates characterized deposition from at
least Ordovician through Late Devonian time, when clastics derived
from the...
Surface and subsurface mapping are combined to determine the
geologic history along the San Gabriel fault near the town of Castaic.
Palomas Gneiss, Whitaker Granodiorite, and Pelona Schist are basement
terranes encountered in the subsurface. West of the San
Gabriel fault, basement is unconformably overlain by marine middle
to late...
Accurate chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are critical to maintaining genomic integrity. Both events involve the spindle apparatus, but the exact mechanics is as puzzling as the contradicting models proposed in the last two centuries. In this dissertation, current prevailing models of chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are tested using...
We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on
R/V Wecoma during cruise W0108a (6-25 August 2001). The cruise was a component (Survey
II) of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) experiment. The ADCP was an
RD Instruments hull-mounted 153-kHz narrowband unit. Data were...
Single-scattering tomography describes a model of photon transfer through a object in which photons are assumed to scatter at most once. The Broken Ray transform arises from this model, and was first investigated by Lucia Florescu, Vadim A. Markel, and John C. Schotland, [2], in 2010, followed by an inversion,...
The Pleistocene Carpinteria basin is an east-trending
northward-verging, faulted syncline containing up to
1220m of partially intertonguing Santa Barbara and
Casitas Formations deposited on previously folded pre-
Pleistocene strata with up to 80° discordance. Structures
subcropping against the unconformity indicate most
of the deformation in the Santa Ynez Range prior...
A thick sequence of intercalated andesite and basalt flows, tuffs, and volcanic sediments crop out in the Fly Creek Quadrangle and the north half of the Round Butte Dam Quadrangle. This sequence was deposited in the ancestral Deschutes River Valley along the east flank of the Cascade Range during the...
