Many educators are currently revising their curricula
to include critical thinking. However, there are factors
which apparently allow some students to become better
critical thinkers than others. Such factors are the concern
of two mentors of this researcher: Ron Manuto and Lloyd
Crisp. Both the Manuto and Crisp (1987) and...

Highlights: New data reveal for the first time a history of the last ∼33.7 ky of uplift of Samosir. Minimum uplift rates were high (4.9 cm/year) for the first 11.2 ky but diminished after that to <1 cm/year for the last 22.5 ky. Numerical modeling suggests that rebound of remnant...

The potential impact of projected climate warming on the terrestrial hydrologic cycle is
uncertain. This problem has evaded experimentalists due to the overwhelming challenge of measuring the
entire water budget and introducing experimental warming treatments in open environmental systems. We
present new data from a mesocosm experiment that examined the...

Sometime in the early Mississippian, huge blocks
broke off the toe of the advancing Roberts Mountains
thrust and fell into the flysch trough. Within the thesis
area, the largest blocks are the Webb/Woodruff blocks,
which are composed of Devonian Woodruff Formation thrust
over Mississippian Webb Formation. The blocks came to...

More than US$21 billion is spent annually on biodiversity conservation. Despite their importance for preventing or slowing extinctions and preserving biodiversity, conservation interventions are rarely assessed systematically for their global impact. Islands house a disproportionately higher amount of biodiversity compared with mainlands, much of which is highly threatened with extinction....

The Upper Devonian Fenstermaker Limestone is a thickening-upward sequence
of interbedded sandy intrapelsparite and subordinate calcareous siltstone and mudstone
which averages 190 ft (58 m) thick in the northern Antelope Range. The Fenstermaker
Limestone is revised and restricted herein to include only those rocks above a basinal
shale sequence of...
