The objectives of this study were: 1) to identify and map the
experimental area of Meadow Creek watershed by existing vegetation,
and 2) to identify and map the experimental area of Meadow Creek
watershed by habitat types. The classification system adopted for
this study was based on the habitat type...
In 1954, International Engineering Company, Inc.
was employed by the Royal Government of Afghanistan to
complete the design and supervise construction of the
Girishk Power Development Project. The major project
features include: two hydraulic turbine driven generating
units and appurtenant facilities, completion of the six
meter drop structure, and provision...
Surface and subsurface mapping are combined to determine the
geologic history along the San Gabriel fault near the town of Castaic.
Palomas Gneiss, Whitaker Granodiorite, and Pelona Schist are basement
terranes encountered in the subsurface. West of the San
Gabriel fault, basement is unconformably overlain by marine middle
to late...
Recently, we demonstrated that a radio-frequency-free electromagnetostatic (RF-free EMS) cell could be retrofitted into a triple quad mass spectrometer to allow electron-capture dissociation (ECD) without the aid of cooling gas or phase-specific electron injection into the cell [1-2]. Subsequently, we used our RF-free EMS cell in the same instrument platform...
Approximately 18 square miles are included in the study area which lies 17 miles southwest of the town of Dillon, Montana. Strata exposed in the area include metamorphic, sedimentary, and volcanic rocks ranging in age from Precambrian to Recent. The Paleozoic and Mesozoic section
is approximately 8000 feet thick and...
The Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM) is a north-south trending
structural and topographic high, which interrupts the east-west trend
of the Himalaya in northern Pakistan. Previously, the massif was
thought to be bounded by the Main Mantle thrust (MMT), a north-dipping
thrust along which the Kohistan-Ladakh arc was thrust south over...
The schist of Skookum Gulch (SSG) is an informal name applied to
a fault-bounded melange composed mainly of schistose metamorphic
rocks and less abundant sedimentary and igneous rocks located in the
eastern Klamath Mountains of northern California. The SSG features
outcrops of lawsonite+sodic amphibole blueschist and epidote+sodic
amphibole rocks transitional...
Deposition of the Middle Devonian part of the Denay Limestone
and Bay State Dolomite in the northern Antelope Range and Fish
Creek Range, respectively, took place on and in front of a carbonate
platform with a lime sand shoal at the shelf edge. In the Givetian part
of the Denay...
In the southern Fish Creek Range, Nye County Nevada,
Devonian rocks are found overlying younger rocks. These
Devonian units are allochthonous blocks that slid by
gravity into their present positions.
The allochthonous blocks represent several different
provenances commonly found to the west and northwest of the
area. The blocks include...
Early Paleozoic limestones and dolomites of the shallow shelf
transitional facies belt were mapped in the southern Sulphur Spring
Range, Eureka County, Nevada. The four youngest units in the map area
are in fault contact with the Lower Devonian rocks and were probably
transported westward, along a low-angle normal fault....
