On the Manifestation of Deformation and Evolution of Two Cenozoic Orogens

Creator:: Lamont, Ellen A.
Abstract:: The word orogenesis is derived from the Greek words oros meaning mountains and genesis meaning creation and refers to the study of the complex processes involved in the growth and evolution of mountain ranges (orogens). Orogens develop where crustal deformation builds topography and forms landscapes. This dissertation explores the role...

Active tectonics of the Kashmir Himalaya (NW India) and earthquake potential on folds, out-of-sequence thrusts, and duplexes

Creator:: Gavillot, Yann G.
Abstract:: Active tectonics of a deformation front constrains the kinematic evolution and structural interaction between the fold-thrust belt and the most-recently accreted foreland basin. At the Himalayan deformation front, the thrust front is blind, characterized by a broad fold (the Suruin-Mastgarh anticline (SMA)), and displays no emergent faults cutting the southern...

Fault behavior over geomorphic time scales in the Pakistan Himalaya, Kashmir Himalaya, and California

Creator:: Madugo, Christopher Lee Madden
Abstract:: The state of the knowledge for fault behavior in the northwest Himalaya and California varies dramatically. In the Pakistan and Kashmir Himalaya, few data constrain the role that individual active faults play in accommodating Indo-Eurasian convergence and the relative earthquake hazard across the region. By contrast, the San Andreas fault...

Submarine earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and ambient noise in the Northeast Pacific

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Passive hydrophone technologies and a variety of acoustic methods are applied in the deep-ocean and shallow water coastal environments of the northeast Pacific. A catalog derived from U.S. Navy regional hydrophone array recordings of acoustic T- phases from seafloor earthquakes is examined, describing space/time patterns through empirical orthogonal function analysis...

Signatures in the Subsurface - Big & Small Data Approaches for the Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Geologic Properties & Uncertainty Reduction

Creator:: Rose, Kelly Kathleen
Abstract:: Despite more than two centuries of exploration, including more than six million deep wellbores with depths exceeding 40,000 feet in some parts of the world, our ability to constrain subsurface processes and properties remains limited. Characteristics of the subsurface vary and can be analyzed on a variety of spatial scales....

Quaternary Landscape Evolution and the Surface Expression of Plume-Lithosphere Interactions in the Greater Yellowstone Area

Creator:: Guerrero, Eduardo Francisco
Abstract:: Numerous investigations demonstrate that mantle convective processes such as upwelling affect the surface topography of the overriding plate. The surface expression of mantle flow has been coined ‘transient topography’. Transient topography in the North American plate is thought to result from a mantle thermal anomaly beneath the Yellowstone volcanic center,...

Sediment storage and delivery on Holocene glacial timescales, Granite Creek, southern Alaska

Creator:: Blair, Mehgan O'Hearn
Abstract:: Sediment storage in and release from the Granite Creek catchment over Holocene timescales is modulated by the fluctuations of Tana Glacier, which periodically blocks the outlet of Granite Creek. Little Ice Age expansion from 1500-1900 AD is suggested by lichenometric ages of alpine glacial moraines within Granite Creek valley. Trimlines...

Advances in Modeling Natural Resource Management under Uncertainty : Forest Mortality, Policy Design, and the Value of Information

Creator:: Sloggy, Matthew R.
Abstract:: Advancing the understanding of natural resource management is an important step in mitigating the effects of human activity on the environment, and ensuring efficient outcomes for many sectors of the economy. As humanity’s role in the natural world becomes better understood, the importance of interdisciplinary modeling has grown in leaps...

Three essays on the economics of climate change, land use and carbon sequestration

Creator:: Haim, David
Abstract:: This dissertation's three essays explore the effects of climate change on land use changes in the U.S., how future land areas in all major land uses change by projecting land use at the regional scale under two IPCC climate change scenarios. Investigate how and what role should carbon sequestration plays...

The economics of forest-dependent regions

Creator:: Biswas, Smita
Abstract:: This dissertation explores two economic phenomena involving forest-dependent areas: wage distribution and migration pattern of individuals. Are forest-dependent rural areas less desirable for workers from the standpoint of labor market returns? Are different skills (e.g. education, experience) rewarded differently in these areas? If there are interregional wage differences, would that...
