Submarine volcanic eruptions can result in both real and apparent changes in marine algal communities, e.g., increases in phytoplankton biomass and/or growth rates that can cover thousands of square kilometers. Satellite ocean color monitoring detects these changes as increases in chlorophyll and particulate backscattering. Detailed, high resolution analysis is needed...
Plans for farm buildings should efficiently explaininformation about their construction. User understandingand actual use made of plans has received little study.The format used for plans should enhance their wider useand greater satisfaction by individuals concerned withconstructed buildings.This study addressed two research questions: (1) Isthere a relationship among typical formats used...
Himalayan collision produced frontal and lateral
ramps and associated Pliocene to Quaternary tectonic
geomorphic features in the foreland fold-thrust belt of
northwestern Pakistan. The transpressional right-lateral
Kalabagh tear fault zone displaced the emergent Surghar
Range frontal thrust from the western Salt Range by 16-19
km since 1.9-2.1 Ma: the age...

Local property-owning residents maintain high levels of interest
and awareness regarding a neighboring natural resource complex.
Factors, however, such as proximity, personal interests, use patterns
and economic considerations cause local inhabitants to have an
inaccurate perception of the natural resource complex. The nature
of local resident perception can be analyzed...

Paleozoic dolomites, limestones, and detrital clastic rocks
were mapped in the Bellevue Peak 15 minute quadrangle in the
southern Mahogany Hills, Nevada. Sedimentary rock units in this
area represent shallow-shelf eastern assemblage deposits.
Shallow-shelf carbonates characterized deposition from at
least Ordovician through Late Devonian time, when clastics derived
from the...
