About 225 lava flows and ash-flow tuffs of the Deschutes Formation (DF) were mapped at Green Ridge. The units fill east-trending paleovalleys which "sky-out" westward and dip east; the eastward dip of the units decreases
as they are traced eastward. The source of the units was west of Green Ridge...
This poster describes the development and implementation of a new course in data information literacy for graduate students. Curricular materials were drawn from the New England Collaborative Data Management Curriculum (NECDMC), the DataONE Education Modules, and the MANTRA online course materials. The pedagogical approach for the course combined outcomes-centered course...
The detection of subtle variations in mineral chemistry in zoned hydrothermal
alteration associated with the formation of porphyry copper deposits by short-wave
infrared spectroscopy and rock chemistry are potentially valuable vectoring tools for
mineral exploration. In order to correctly interpret the data collected by these methods,
results must be calibrated...
The Upper Ojai Valley is a tectonic depression between
opposing reverse faults, Its northern border is formed
by the active, north-dipping San Cayetano fault with 6.0
km of dip-slip displacement in the Silverthread oil field
and 2.6 km displacement west of Sisar Creek; the fault
dies out farther west in...
The oldest strata present in the Swales Mountain area
are part of the Roberts Mountains allochthon. These include
the western-facies Ordovician Vinini Formation and unnamed
transitional-facies Devonian limestones. The Vinini Formation
comprises dark cherts and black to brown shales
deposited in a deep-water oceanic environment. The Devonian
limestones include numerous...
This is a response prepared by Henry R. Richmond of the American Land Institute to the SB 82/"Big Look" Task Force report, "Big Look: Choices for the future" (issued, May 30, 2008). It appear was written on July 11, 2008 and consists of three files: comments, updated cover page for...
Go beyond the standard patron survey and implement qualitative research methods, like user-centered focus groups, to generate rich and nuanced patron data. But don't stop there. Discover strategies to quickly move projects from qualitative data gathering through preliminary data analysis to prioritized project recommendations and action. Learn to evaluate project...
