The thesis area consists of 33 square miles in the south-central
Pueblo Mountains of Humboldt County, Nevada and Harney County,
Oregon. The Pueblo Mountains are tilted fault block mountains found
in the extreme northwestern part of the Basin and Range province and
were produced during Early Tertiary Basin and Range...

presented
The Peck Mountain area is located in west-central Idaho just 15 miles east of the Oregon-Idaho border. It is tectonically located within the "Columbia Arc" of the Nevadan oroaenic belt. The Seven Devils Volcanics, Permian to Traissic in age, are the oldest rocks in the area. They are composed of...

A THESIS
submitted to
Neogene rocks of the Deschutes basin include the middle Miocene
Columbia River Basalt Group and Simtustus Formation, and late Miocene
to early Pliocene Deschutes Formation. Assignment of Prineville
chemical-type flows to the Grande Ronde Basalt of the Columbia River
Basalt Group is based upon correlation of these lavas from their...

A THESIS
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...

Title: BEDROCK
Coral reefs form vast ecosystems in tropical oceans that are hotspots for biodiversity and are economically valuable. The ecological success of coral reefs is made possible by the symbiotic relationship between corals and dinoflagellate algae from the family Symbiodiniaceae. In this symbiosis, the algae are found within host gastrodermal cells...
Simulations from a regional climate model (RCM) as part of a superensemble experiment were compared with observations of surface meteorological variables over the western United States. The RCM is the Hadley Centre Regional Climate Model, version 3, with improved physics parameterizations (HadRM3P) run at 25-km resolution and nested within the...
