  • Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Duncan, Corinne M.
    Abstract:
    Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition.

  • A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

    Creator:
    Krawl, Kyle A.
    Abstract:
    The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...
