GRA Symposium – Geophysics at the Beach GROUNDWATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA VOLUME 19, NO. 3 FALL 2010 GRA Symposium – Geophysics at the Beach By Ted Johnson, John Jansen, Tim Parker, and Ned Clayton roundwater is a critical resource that will increasingly be relied Gupon in the future to meet grow- ing water demands in the face of chang- ing climate, socio-economic pressures, and the decreasing availability and ris- ing cost of surface water. More reliance on groundwater will drive the need for improved characterization of subsurface geohydrology and water quality, and improved tools for predicting the long- term viability of groundwater storage projects. Geophysics is a discipline that utilizes a suite of high-resolution surface and downhole tools that play an important and increasing role in water resources investigations to obtain high-quality and cost-effective subsurface hydrogeologic information critical to making informed management decisions. To provide a link between current and future groundwater regulatory agency staff, university staff, responsible parties, problems and the latest in geophysical tools and technologies case managers, and others.

  • An Ecocritical Approach to the Southern Novels Of
    AN ECOCRITICAL APPROACH TO THE SOUTHERN NOVELS OF CORMAC MCCARTHY by PAUL SANDERS QUICK (Under the Direction of Hugh Ruppersburg) ABSTRACT Using the three streams of radical environmental philosophy—deep ecology, ecofeminism, and social ecology—this study highlights the subtle and complex environmental ethic in Cormac McCarthy’s southern novels. It also reassesses the critical consensus that these works are expressions of existentialist or nihilistic philosophy. By delineating the different relationships that McCarthy’s heroes and anti- heroes have with nonhuman nature, an ecocritical analysis views their alienation as the effect of their separation from nonhuman nature. At the root of this alienation is an anthropocentric and mechanistic mode of thinking that is dominant in Western philosophy and that this study defines as Cartesian. While McCarthy’s environmentalist heroes are persecuted by Cartesian institutions and displaced from the land on which they have defined themselves and made meaning, his Cartesian anti-heroes represent extreme manifestations of Cartesian thinking. McCarthy’s environmentalism is as much a critique and indictment of Cartesian thinking as it is a portrayal of the value of a life lived in close contact with nonhuman nature. INDEX WORDS: Cormac McCarthy, The Orchard Keeper, Child of God, Outer Dark, Suttree, ecocriticism, deep ecology, ecofeminism, social ecology, Cartesian thinking, environmental literature AN ECOCRITICAL APPROACH TO THE SOUTHERN NOVELS OF CORMAC MCCARTHY by PAUL SANDERS QUICK B.A., Duke University,

  • Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America
    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.

It was intended to be automated and printed out but this form was going to be delayed for a year or more so the catalog part has been typed instead. Lunar transient phenomena have been observed for almost 1 1/2 millenia, both by the naked eye and telescopic aid. The author has been collecting these reports from the literature and personal communications for the past 17 years. It has resulted in a listing of 1468 reports representing only slight searching of the literature and probably only a fraction of the number of anomalies actually seen. The phenomena are unusual instances of temporary changes seen by observers that they reported in journals, books, and other literature. Therefore, although it seems we may be able to suggest possible aberrations as the causes of some or many of the phenomena it is presumptuous of us to think that these observers, long time students of the moon, were not aware of most of them.

  • 1 the Lifecycle of Hollows on Mercury
    The Lifecycle of Hollows on Mercury: An Evaluation of Candidate Volatile Phases and a Novel Model of Formation. 1 1 2 3 M. S. Phillips , J. E. Moersch , C. E. Viviano , J. P. Emery 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of Tennessee, Knoxville 2Planetary Exploration Group, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory 3Department of Astronomy and Planetary Sciences, Northern Arizona University Corresponding author: Michael Phillips ([email protected]) Keywords: Mercury, hollows, thermal model, fumarole. Abstract On Mercury, high-reflectance, flat-floored depressions called hollows are observed nearly globally within low-reflectance material, one of Mercury’s major color units. Hollows are thought to be young, or even currently active, features that form via sublimation, or a “sublimation-like” process. The apparent abundance of sulfides within LRM combined with spectral detections of sulfides associated with hollows suggests that sulfides may be the phase responsible for hollow formation. Despite the association of sulfides with hollows, it is still not clear whether sulfides are the hollow-forming phase. To better understand which phase(s) might be responsible for hollow formation, we calculated sublimation rates for 57 candidate hollow-forming volatile phases from the surface of Mercury and as a function of depth beneath regolith lag deposits of various thicknesses. We found that stearic acid (C18H36O2), fullerenes (C60, C70), and elemental sulfur (S) have the appropriate thermophysical properties to explain hollow formation. Stearic acid and fullerenes are implausible hollow-forming phases because they are unlikely to have been delivered to or generated on Mercury in high enough volume to account for hollows.

I just ran the preliminary numbers for 2015 A.T. maintenance. People volunteered over 10,000 hours on over 347 outings to maintain our 134 miles of trail. Large portions of our club revenue, well over half, goes to trail maintenance activities. This is mostly for tools and materials needed to maintain one of the most popular sections of the A.T. Your little bit of dues does help. The bulk of the remainder of our dues revenue is for our web hosting. Our Trail Wiki continues to grow.
