These investigations involve various aspects of research, resource evaluations, and water-quantity- and water- quality-monitoring activities. This is a brief summary report of the activities and plans for the cooperative projects during the July 1999 through June 2000 fiscal year. Each project summary includes a brief description of the objectives, approach, and progress during the 2000 fiscal year, and plans for the 2001 fiscal year.

Trammel’s Trace on Printed Maps of the 19th Century Kelley A. Snowden Center for Regional Heritage Research, Stephen F. Austin State University ____________________________________________________________________________________ Trammel’s Trace was a nineteenth century road that traversed East Texas. Recognized today as a historic cartographic feature, this road appeared in different ways on nineteenth century printed published maps over time, and in the mid-to-late nineteenth centu- ry was reduced from a route to a fragment. This study is the first to examine the portrayal of the Trace as a historic cartographic feature, how it was presented to the general public, how its portrayal changed over time, and why it appears on the maps at all. In addition, this study is the first to use geographic information systems (GIS) to analyze the presentation of the Trace on printed, published maps.

This limits the definition of geological units to morpho-stratigraphic considerations so that units have been mainly defined by their stratigraphic position, surface textures and morphology, and attribution to general emplacement processes (a few related to magmatism, some broad sedimentary environments, some diverse impact domains, and all with uncertainties of interpretation). On the other hand, geological units on Earth are defined by several Figure 1: in-series interpretation from Giacomini et al. parameters besides the stratigraphic ones, such as rock EGU 2021-15052 textures, lithology, composition, and numerous environmental conditions of their origin (diverse Contextual interpretation: Geo(spectro)- magmatic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary stratigraphic maps can be also produced directly from a environments). Hence, traditional morpho-stratigraphic contextual work on black and white images and RGB maps of planets and geological maps on the Earth are color compositions either using Principal Component still separated by an important conceptual and effective (PC) analysis (see Mercury examples in Semenzato et gap.

Paleotopographic reconstructions of the Tharsis magmatic complex reveal the existence of an Europe-sized Noachian drainage basin and subsequent aquifer system in eastern Tharsis. This basin is proposed to have sourced outburst floodwaters that sculpted the outflow channels, and ponded to form various hypothesized oceans, seas, and lakes episodically through time. These floodwaters decreased in volume with time due to inadequate groundwater recharge of the Tharsis aquifer system. Martian topography, as observed from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter, corresponds well to these ancient flood inundations, including the approximated shorelines that have been proposed for the northern plains.

  • 0 Lunar and Planetary Institute Provided by the NASA Astrophysics Data System STREAMLINED FORMS Baker, V
    STREAMLINED EROSIONAL FORMS OF KASEI AND MAJA VALLES, MARS. Victor R. Baker and R. Craig Kochel, Departnsent of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas 78712. U'e have now completed measurements on 95 streamlined uplands or "teardrop shaped islands:' in two major Martian outflow channels, Kasei and Maja. The data were obtained by techniques previously described by Baker and Kochel (1, 2). They are compared to measurements on 137 streamlined hills and bars in the Channeled Scabland of eastern Washington (3). The three physical parameters that proved easiest to measure from Viking orbital photographs were length L (km), measured parallel to the inferred flow direction; width W (km ), measured as the maximum width of 9e streamlined form perpendicular to the inferred flow direction; and area A (kin ), measured with a polar planimeter. We only measured the best developed streamlined shapes, ie. shapes for which fluid dynamic considerations dictate minimum flow separation in the responsible erosive fluid. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show that all the data conform in a general manner to the following simple model: There is, however, a tendency for the Martian forms, especially in Maja Valiis, to be slightly more elongate than their scabland counterparts (L=4W). This is confirmed statistically by the "best-fit" regressions summarized in Table 1. Considerations of pressure drag and skin resistance, discussed by Baker and Kochel (21, explain the more elongate Maja forms in terms of the lower frictional drag coef- ficients that prevail at higher Reynold's numbers. As the L/W ratio increases, pressure drag is reduced until it becomes eqvl to the total skin resistance.

Smith Committee Members, Peter J. Hugill Christian Brannstrom Bradford P. Wilcox Head of Department, Douglas J. Sherman May 2007 Major Subject: Geography iii ABSTRACT Changing Patterns and Perceptions of Water Use in East Central Texas Since the Time of Anglo Settlement. (May 2007) Wendy Winborn Patzewitsch, B.A., Trinity University; M.S., Southern Methodist University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Jonathan M. Smith Patterns and perceptions of water use have changed since Anglo settlement in Texas in the early nineteenth century. Change has not been constant, gradual, or linear, but rather has occurred in fits and spurts. This pattern of punctuated equilibrium in water use regimes is the central finding of this dissertation. Water use is examined in terms of built, organizational, and institutional inertias that resist change in the cultural landscape. Change occurs only when forced by crisis and results in water management at an increasing scale. Perception is critical in forcing response to crisis.
