In this dissertation, current prevailing models of chromosome segregation and cell cleavage are tested using...
The Yanacocha Mining District in northern Perú is considered the largest group of
high-sulfidation style epithermal gold deposits in the world. District-scale geologic mapping coupled with detailed 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemistry and petrography establish the volcanic history of the area and analyze the temporal and spatial evolution of volcanism, hypogene advanced...

The northwest-trending Neogene Tualatin basin in northwestern Oregon is a pull-apart
basin with approximately 750 m of post-middle Miocene structural relief. Gently
tilted uplands capped by Columbia River Basalt Group surround the synclinal basin on all
sides. Integrated gravity, aeromagnetic, and seismic reflection data indicated that the
basin is underlain...
