Creator:: Enos, Robert A.
Abstract:: At collisional mountain ranges the tectonic history of crustal shortening and subsequent post-collisional erosion is preserved in the form of the presently observed gravity anomalies. In this study, models of erosion and isostatic rebound at various stages of collision illustrate the evolution of crustal structure, topography, and resulting gravity anomalies....

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...

Creator:: Powers, Peter M.
Abstract:: Surface-geology, oil-well, seismic-reflection, and magnetostratigraphic data are integrated to evaluate structural style and shortening rate at the Himalayan front (Sub-Himalaya) of northwest India. The Sub-Himalaya, between the Main Boundary thrust and the Himalayan Frontal fault, is the actively deforming front of the Himalaya. At certain locations, the Himalayan Frontal fault...

Creator:: Khurshid, Akbar
Abstract:: Gravity data along an east-west profile from the Punjab plain of Pakistan to the western border town of Chaman have been incorporated into interpretation of the gross crustal structure underlying the Sulaiman Range. Interpretation of the free-air, Bouguer, and isostatic gravity anomalies suggests that 15 to 25 km thick, transitional...

Creator:: Dunham, Sarah E.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a thematic, geology-based interpretive training manual for the interpretive staff at Yosemite National Park (YNP), California. The manual will help staff understand and convey geologic principles to park visitors who are all experiencing a dynamic landscape comprised of glacially-sculpted igneous rocks. Basic geology and the results of...

Creator:: Truitt, Kimberly E.
Abstract:: This thesis develops a geology training manual for the Interpretation staff of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve (CRMO) in southern Idaho. The manual will help the staff convey geologic principles to park visitors who are experiencing a landscape formed by volcanic processes. Basic geology and the most...

Creator:: Fritzke, Susan L.
Abstract:: Recreational impacts on the subalpine-alpine ecosystems of Mount Rainier National Park have developed over the past century, and today pose a major problem for park managers. Field data were collected during the summer of 1987 in the Paradise meadows area in order to describe visitor impacts on social trails (trails...
