Mesozoic crustal shortening in the North American Cordillera’s hinterland was related to the construction of the Nevadaplano orogenic plateau. Petrologic and geochemical proxies in Cordilleran core complexes suggest substantial Late Cretaceous crustal thickening during plateau construction. In eastern Nevada, geobarometry from the Snake Range and Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range-Wood Hills-Pequop Mountains (REWP) core complexes suggests that the ~10–12 km thick Neoproterozoic- Triassic passive-margin sequence was buried to great depths (>30 km) during Mesozoic shortening and was later exhumed to the surface via high-magnitude Cenozoic extension. Deep regional burial is commonly reconciled with structural models involving cryptic thrust sheets, such as the hypothesized Windermere thrust in the REWP. -

High Thermal Gradient in the Upper Plate of a Core Complex, Determined by Calcite-Dolomite Thermometry, Pequop Mountains, Nv
Short Contributions 29th Annual Symposium Volume 23rd April, 2016 ISBN: 1528-7491 Published by Keck Geology Consortium HIGH THERMAL GRADIENT IN THE UPPER PLATE OF A CORE COMPLEX, DETERMINED BY CALCITE-DOLOMITE THERMOMETRY, PEQUOP MOUNTAINS, NV COLBY HOWLAND, Union College Research Advisor: Matthew R F Manon INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Pequop Mountains (PM) in northeastern Nevada The PM are located in the hinterland of the Sevier expose the structurally shallowest levels of the Orogeny, a Mesozoic episode of E-W contraction. A Ruby Mountains–East Humbolt Range (RM-EHR) commonly proposed modern analogue is the thrust belt metamorphic core complex. Mineral assemblages on the eastern side of the Andes. There is a growing show that metamorphism in the PM progressively consensus that in the Mesozoic the crust in eastern increase from unmetamorphosed in the east to Nevada was thickened into a high-elevation plateau, lower amphibolite facies in the west. However, to the Nevadaplano, that resembled the modern Andean date no quantitative thermometry has been reported Puna-Altiplano (Camilleri and Chamberlain, 1997; for the PM. Insight into the thermal evolution and DeCellles, 2004 and Sullivan and Snoke, 2007). degree of metamorphism can be better defined by To the west of the PM, the Wood Hills and the East establishing a paleogeothermal gradient in the PM Humboldt Range expose progressively higher grade in order to enhance the overall understanding of the and structurally deeper rocks of the metamorphic core metamorphic core complex as well as the thermal complex (Hudec, 1992; McGrew, 1992; McGrew and structure of the Mesozoic crustal thickening in an Snee, 1994; Camilleri and Chamberlain, 1997). -

Mountain City, Ruby Mountains, and Jarbidge Combined Travel
Mountain City, Ruby Mountains and Jarbidge Ranger Districts Combined Travel Management Project Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3. Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences 3.1. Introduction This chapter summarizes the physical, biological, social, and economic environments that are affected by the alternatives and the effects on that environment that would result from implementation of any of the alternatives. This chapter also presents the scientif ic and analyt ical basis for comparison of the alternatives presented in chapter 2. 3.1.1. Analysis Process Most of the data used in the following analysis are from the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest corporate GIS layers. There is a certain amount of error in the location and alignments included in this GIS data. For example, the road layer overlying the stream layer may show more stream crossings than actually exist on the ground because of the different sources from which the different layers were obtained. Some perennial streams may show up on the map as being intermittent. This may also create some inaccuracies as to the exact location and extent of riparian zones. The Forest is constantly working to improve map accuracies and the corporate GIS layers. For the purposes of this analysis, the best data that is available was used. The data in the tables below and in the project record depict with a reasonable amount of accuracy what would be occurring on the ground for each alternative, within the limitations described above. The changes between alternatives remain relative to each other. 3.1.2. Cumulative Effects According to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) National Environmental Protection Ac t (NEPA) regulations, “cumulative impact” is the impact on the environment which results from the incremental impact of the action when added to other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future actions regardless of what agency (federal or non-federal) or person undertakes such actions (40 CFR 1508.7). -

Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States
Jump to Navigation Quaternary Fault and Fold Database of the United States As of January 12, 2017, the USGS maintains a limited number of metadata fields that characterize the Quaternary faults and folds of the United States. For the most up-to-date information, please refer to the interactive fault map. Independence Valley fault zone, southern section (Class A) No. 1582b Last Review Date: 2006-10-05 citation for this record: Sawyer, T.L., Oswald, J.A., Rowley, P.C., Anderson, R.E., and Haller, K.M., compilers, 2006, Fault number 1582b, Independence Valley fault zone, southern section, in Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey website, https://earthquakes.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults, accessed 12/14/2020 02:36 PM. Synopsis General: This zone of subparallel normal faults includes intermontane bedrock faults within the northern Pequop Mountains and range bounding faults separating the west flank of the range from the basin beneath Independence Valley. The fault extends from east of Holborn south, across Interstate 80, south to Brush Creek. Reconnaissance photogeologic mapping of fault related features and compilation geologic mapping are the sources of data; scarp profiles adequate for regression of scarp height against maximum scarp slope angle are reported for the southern section of the fault. Sections: This fault has 2 sections. The general movement history and geometry of the fault zone suggest two possible sections. The northern section extends from the north end of the Pequop Mountains southward as range-front, intermontane, and short piedmont faults to about 13 km south of Interstate 80. -
A World Turned Upside Down
A World Turned Upside Down December 2017 Helena Meyer-Knapp [email protected] THe welcome lady at the entrance to the Evergreen State College carved by Greg Colfax (Makah) And Andy Wilbur-Peterson (Skokomish) Worlds turned upside down Headlines — recent events in Indian Country In real Life there is no intermission — the Constitution counts out indians Deeper than Elections — TRIBAL sovereignty, CREATION STORIES & Ancestors None of us is alone — Indian gatherings Women’s work — Laura Grabhorn & Heather Fleming APOLOGIES AND REPARATIONS — CONSIDER SOME ALTERNATIVES Laylie Long Soldier Introduction to her poem Whereas in Whereas Greywolf Press, 2017. worlds turned upside down Having just written our Christmas letter, two thoughts stand out. (1) When we write to friends and family, though we seem to be reporting on the past we are actually looking to the future. (2) The work I do, the work I seem to have been doing for quite a while, is to seek out ideas and images that enable our common future to avoid being mindlessly burdened by our shared past. Were I a good Buddhist, I would know that neither past nor future exist. There is only now and even in “now” there is no absolute reality. I am enough of a Buddhist to know that there is certainly no absolute reality in “history.” Even in the middle of a single household, it is evident that each of the different children grow up in different families, if only by virtue of birth order. So within the much larger and more complex system of relationships among people living in the United States, it is inconceivable that any of us inhabit identical narratives, identical ways of telling the stories of the history of this particular nation-state.
