For many years, scientists worldwide have been using glacial ice to reconstruct and study Earth’s past climates. While the most continuous records we have are from sites near both poles, there is also mid-latitude perennial ice in the form of mountain glaciers and cave ice. Very little is known about...
The three studies that comprise this dissertation seek to answer significant
questions in paleoclimatology through unconventional applications of ice core
greenhouse gas data. These studies involve different gases and span the interval of time
between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Industrial Revolution, but are united by their
nontraditional use...
Residual osteochondral debris represents a clinical problem associated
with arthroscopic debridement and curettage of joint surfaces. At the Oregon
State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (OSU-VTH), during a period
from January, 1983 to August, 1986, incidence of radiographically recognizable
osteochondral debris in the carpal joints of postarthroscopic equine patients was
excessive....
The Missoula Floods occurred approximately fifteen thousand to thirteen thousand years ago during the last ice age. The floods occurred when waters held back by a finger of the Purcell Ice Lobe gave way allowing water which covered present day Missoula, Montana to inundate areas of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon....
The northwest one-quarter of the Prineville Quadrangle is
underlain by Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic and volcaniclastic
rocks of the Columbia River Basalt Group, and the Clarno, John Day,
Rattlesnake and Deschutes Formations.
The Clarno Formation is dominated by pyroxene-bearing
andesites, but also contains olivine-bearing basalts, oxyhornblende-bearing
dacite and rhyodacite flows...
This research focused on the accuracy of trait judgments at zero acquaintance and after five minutes of interaction. Thirty-five undergraduates judged the neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness of four to six others whom they did not know. Participants then interacted in one-on-one conversations with each target for five minutes....
