During the first surgery I witnessed, I was struck by an immense sense of wonder at the human body. This research effort determines if this awe is shared by physicians currently practicing medicine, if this wonder will fade as part of an everyday landscape, and delves into the different forms...
Controversial end member models for the growth and evolution of the Tibetan Plateau demand quantitative constraints of the lithospheric rheology. Direct determinations of bulk crustal rheology, however, remain relatively sparse. Here we use the flexural rebound of lacustrine shorelines developed during the Lingtong highstand around Siling Co, in central Tibet,...

Case control studies of nonagenarians and centenarians provide evidence that long‐lived individuals do not
differ in the rate of disease associated variants compared to population controls. These results suggest that an enrichment
of novel protective variants, rather than a lack of disease associated variants, determine the genetic predisposition to
exceptionally...

The need to preserve Oregon's estuaries has been expressed
through the Land Conservation and Development Commission's Estuarine
Resources Goal 16. The first use of the mitigation guideline set forth
in this goal is in the Coos Bay estuary. The proposed North Bend
Airport runway extension will fill 32 acres (13...

Active faults in the Kaikoura region include the Hope,
Kekerengu, and Fidget Faults, and the newly discovered
Jordan Thrust, Fyffe, and Kowhai Faults. Ages of faulted
alluvial terraces along the Hope Fault and the Jordan
Thrust were estimated using radiocarbon-calibrated
weathering-rind measurements on graywacke clasts. Within
the study area, the...

The Central Oregon High Cascade Range is an anomalously mafic segment of the
Cascade Arc due to ongoing intra-arc extension, which allows most magmas to traverse
the crust without stalling and evolving to more evolved compositions. North Sister, a
composite volcano in this arc segment, has produced a seemingly monotonous...
