  • Crustal structure of the Baja Peninsula between latitudes 22 ̊N and 25 ̊N

    Creator:
    Huehn, Bruce
    Abstract:
    Geophysical data collected in 1975 and 1976 reveal major crustal and tectonic elements of the continental margin of southern Baja California. Gravity, magnetic, seismic reflection and bathymetric data show seaward extension of the islands enclosing Magdalena and Almejas Bays. A seismic reflection profile, oriented approximately normal to the trend of...

  • Two studies concerning rare earth elements : I. Rare earth DTPA complexes as estuarine hydrological tracers : II. Rare earth elemental concentrations in some Pacific Northwest rivers

    Creator:
    Keasler, Kenneth M.
    Abstract:
    Two studies were conducted involving rare earth elements. In the first study, the use of rare earth diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) complexes as stable actiable tracers, a method of stable-isotope tracing with post-sampling neutron activation analysis, was explored. The persistence of rare earth DTPA complexes in estuarine waters was measured in...

  • The Ibis, journal of the British Ornithologists' Union : a pre-synthesis portrait

    Creator:
    Johnson, Kristin Renee
    Abstract:
    In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution...

  • Comparative analysis of Google Earth versus traditional paper maps in middle school earth science education

    Creator:
    Edstrom, Jillian Aasta
    Abstract:
    As GIS becomes more prominent in academic classrooms at all levels of education, the subject of geography and its related disciplines can be approached with a geospatial technology perspective, using new tools and lesson plans. The implementation of Google Earth in classrooms is just one example of this. Research was...

  • Cross-cultural and Sustainability Values in International Freshwater Management Institutions

    Creator:
    Porta, E. Lynn
    Abstract:
    In the process of building international water policies and management institutions, like international treaties and River Basin Organizations, States simultaneously signal the values that they view as most important in these different institutions. Examining expressed and acted-upon values for transboundary freshwater management are currently under-explored areas where overlapping lenses of...

  • Sonobuoy refraction study of the crust in the Gorda Basin

    Creator:
    Cook, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    The Gorda Basin is a young oceanic plate which comes in direct contact with the convergent margin of western North America. Two long sonobuoy refraction profiles crossing the basin provide nearly continuous data for computing the velocity structure of the crust and adjacent continental slope. Time-term analysis utilizing multiple receivers...

    Creator:
    Schefke, Brian R.
    Abstract:
    Following World War II, the United States enjoyed unprecedented power and prestige. The wartime alliance with the Soviet Union quickly collapsed amid mutual suspicion and fear, however, resulting in the Cold War. Science was a significant political component in that ideological conflict. In the United States, inspired by Franklin D....
