Cycles of life and landscape : interpreting the geological foundation of Shenandoah National Park

Creator:: Kelly, Wendy Sonya
Abstract:: The significance of geology is commonly overlooked by the general public and underrepresented in free-choice learning environments including national parks that exhibit spectacular examples of geological features and processes. Parks are a major contributor to public learning, and a key way to teach how geology influences many aspects of our...

Seismotectonics in the eastern Precordillera, San Juan, Argentina : reconciling earthquakes and structural geology in the vicinity of the 1944 earthquake for a new model of crustal-scale deformation

Creator:: Schiffman, Celia Rose
Abstract:: This thesis synthesizes surficial structural data, a detailed analysis of an earthquake in 1944, and historical seismicity into a new model of crustal scale deformation in the eastern Precordillera in northwestern Argentina in the vicinity of San Juan. The eastern Precordillera was uplifted during previous thin-skinned deformation episodes, and is...

Evolution and inheritance of Cascadia sub-arc mantle reservoirs

Creator:: Bromley, Sarah Ashley
Abstract:: Inheritance from pre-existing mantle domains and fluid and melt contributions from active subduction together produce the geochemical signatures of mantle-derived arc basalts. In this context, this work evaluates the evolution of Cascadia mantle sources by documenting the isotopic and compositional characteristics of primitive basalts along a transect across the Eocene-Oligocene...

Stratigraphy, sedimentology, and eruptive dynamics of the 2-ka eruption of Misti Volcano, southern Peru

Creator:: Harpel, Christopher J.
Abstract:: The 2-ka eruption of Misti volcano produced voluminous flowage deposits and a wide-spread tephra-fall deposit. The flowage deposits form large terraces within channels draining the south side of the volcano. All the channels drain into the city of Arequipa. Arequipa's city center is ~16 km from the summit of the...

Vegetation analysis and spatial visualization of a tidal salt marsh

Creator:: Buchner, Ed L.
Abstract:: Mitchell Marsh, a tidal salt marsh in the Salmon River Estuary, was diked in the early 1960s. Restoration of the marsh, which began in late 1978, consisted of partial dike removal. Several studies have been conducted in the marsh, addressing the status of the developing salt marsh plant communities. Species...

Transboundary groundwater and international law: past practices and current implications

Creator:: Matsumoto, Kyoko
Abstract:: Despite their significance, physical interactions between surface and groundwater have largely been ignored in international water law. While surface water has been given considerable attention as a transboundary natural resource, groundwater has not received the same recognition. International legal doctrines regarding water, such as the 1997 United Nations Convention on...

Reconstructing northern Alaska : crustal-scale evolution of the central Brooks Range

Creator:: Williams, Jonathan D.
Abstract:: Kinematic tectonic models constrained by Airy isostatic equilibrium demonstrate the crustal-scale evolution of the Brooks Range during ocean basin closure, arc-continent collision, and exhumation of the orogen. The Bouguer gravity anomaly low that develops across the orogen is related by wavelength to the amount of shortening during collision, and by...

A dynamic landscape formed by the power of volcanoes : geology training manual for interpreters at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

Creator:: Ashton, Rebecca H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of social interaction and social comfort among five undergraduate ethnic groups: African American, American Indian, Asian American, Caucasian American, and Hispanic American. Another purpose was to explore the correlation between the level of social contact and comfort among the five...

The origin of mid-ocean ridge basalts : insights from trace element contents in anorthite, anorthite-hosted melt inclusions, and ocean core complexes

Creator:: Weinsteiger, Allison B.
Abstract:: The primary goal of this study is to access the processes that alter primary melts after segregation from a mantle source and ultimately form petrologic Layers 2 and 3 of the Ocean Crust. Mineral, melt inclusion, and whole rock chemical compositions are utilized to further the understanding of 1) the...

Snow Peak, OR: late Miocene to early Pliocene volcanism in the central Cascadia forearc

Creator:: Hatfield, Ashley K.
Abstract:: Snow Peak is a voluminous shield volcano located ~50 km west of the axis of the modern Cascade arc. A previously published K-Ar age estimate indicates that the Snow Peak lavas are ~3 Ma. Subsequently, the preliminary research framework for studying the Snow Peak lavas focused on constraining the petrogenesis...
