The Nanga Parbat-Haramosh massif (NPHM) is a unique structural
and topographic high in the northwestern corner of the Himalayan
convergence zone. Previously, the NPHM was thought to be bounded by
the MMT, a thrust along which the Kohistan-Ladakh island arc was
obducted onto the northern margin of fridia. This study...
The Coyote Hills are located about 46 kilometers north-northwest
of Lakeview, Oregon, within the Basin and Range physiographic province.
These hills represent a complex volcanic center of bimodal
calc-alkaline igneous activity.
The oldest rocks recorded in the Tertiary succession are horn-blende-
bearing andesite and aphanitic basalt flows, laharic breccias,
conglomerates,...
With more and more cartographic data being created and released only as GIS datasets, map catalogers will eventually find themselves moving away from Machine Readable Cataloging (MARC) as their primary bibliographic description schema and moving towards the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC). This move will be necessitated in large part...
With the increased interest in Data Management, OSU Libraries is trying to increase the role the library plays in data management. OSU is a research intensive campus and with granting agencies requiring data management plans, there is an opportunity for the libraries to provide a new service.
Tile drainage increases aeration in the root zone of poorly drained soils by
accelerating water movement from the subsurface. Water movement is the main agent
of chemical transport, either transporting soluble materials directly (e.g., nitrate) or by
transporting the soil particles that bind adsorptive compounds (e.g., pesticides). The
detection frequency...
The purpose of this Management and Action Plan is to help guide the Nestucca-Neskowin Watersheds Council (Council) in accomplishing three main goals:
To provide opportunities for watershed-related education to the people who live, work, and recreate in the watershed
To update the Nestucca/Neskowin Watershed Assessment (May 1998).
To protect and...
The Ventura basin is an elongate sedimentary trough extending from the San Gabriel fault west into the Santa
Barbara Channel. West of Ventura it contains over 4 km of severely deformed Pliocene and Pleistocene clastic
strata. The north-dipping Red Mountain reverse fault system, which forms the northern boundary of the...
This thesis is an effort to formalize and document some of the changes occuring in the Warwar Valley of Gongola State, Nigeria, West Africa.
