  • North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave
    North American Deserts Chihuahuan - Great Basin Desert - Sonoran – Mojave http://www.desertusa.com/desert.html In most modern classifications, the deserts of the United States and northern Mexico are grouped into four distinct categories. These distinctions are made on the basis of floristic composition and distribution -- the species of plants growing in a particular desert region. Plant communities, in turn, are determined by the geologic history of a region, the soil and mineral conditions, the elevation and the patterns of precipitation. Three of these deserts -- the Chihuahuan, the Sonoran and the Mojave -- are called "hot deserts," because of their high temperatures during the long summer and because the evolutionary affinities of their plant life are largely with the subtropical plant communities to the south. The Great Basin Desert is called a "cold desert" because it is generally cooler and its dominant plant life is not subtropical in origin. Chihuahuan Desert: A small area of southeastern New Mexico and extreme western Texas, extending south into a vast area of Mexico. Great Basin Desert: The northern three-quarters of Nevada, western and southern Utah, to the southern third of Idaho and the southeastern corner of Oregon. According to some, it also includes small portions of western Colorado and southwestern Wyoming. Bordered on the south by the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts. Mojave Desert: A portion of southern Nevada, extreme southwestern Utah and of eastern California, north of the Sonoran Desert. Sonoran Desert: A relatively small region of extreme south-central California and most of the southern half of Arizona, east to almost the New Mexico line.

  • Episodic Dust Events of Utah's Wasatch
    1654 JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY VOLUME 51 Episodic Dust Events of Utah’s Wasatch Front and Adjoining Region W. JAMES STEENBURGH AND JEFFREY D. MASSEY Department of Atmospheric Sciences, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah THOMAS H. PAINTER Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California (Manuscript received 4 January 2012, in final form 4 April 2012) ABSTRACT Episodic dust events cause hazardous air quality along Utah’s Wasatch Front and dust loading of the snowpack in the adjacent Wasatch Mountains. This paper presents a climatology of episodic dust events of the Wasatch Front and adjoining region that is based on surface weather observations from the Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imag- ery, and additional meteorological datasets. Dust events at KSLC—defined as any day [mountain standard time (MST)] with at least one report of a dust storm, blowing dust, and/or dust in suspension with a visi- bility of 10 km or less—average 4.3 per water year (WY: October–September), with considerable in- terannual variability and a general decline in frequency during the 1930–2010 observational record. The distributions of monthly dust-event frequency and total dust flux are bimodal, with primary and secondary maxima in April and September, respectively. Dust reports are most common in the late afternoon and evening. An analysis of the 33 most recent (2001–10 WY) events at KSLC indicates that 11 were associated with airmass convection, 16 were associated with a cold front or baroclinic trough entering Utah from the west or northwest, 4 were associated with a stationaryorslowlymovingfrontorbaroclinictroughwestof Utah, and 2 were associated with other synoptic patterns.

Simmons Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology School of Anthropology University of Arizona October 2011 Solar PEIS Ethnographic Assessment Page 1 ESCALANTE VALLEY The proposed Escalante Valley solar energy zone (SEZ) is located in Iron County, Utah (Figure 1). It is approximately four miles south of Lund, Utah and ten miles east of Beryl, Utah. The SEZ is situated in the Escalante Valley, which is a large, southwest-northeast trending valley in the south-central portion of the Escalante Desert. Figure 1 Google Earth Image of the Escalante Valley SEZ Outlined in Red and SEZ American Indian Study Area The Escalante Valley SEZ American Indian study area extends beyond the boundaries of the SEZ because of the existence of cultural resources in the surrounding landscape. The Escalante Valley SEZ American Indian study area includes plant and animal communities, geological features, water sources, historic events and the trails that would have connected these features. Southern Paiute and Goshute representatives maintain that, in order to understand Numic connections to the SEZ, it must be placed in context with neighboring connected places including the Milford Flats South and Wah Wah Valley SEZs and their associated cultural resources found in the larger study areas.

  • A History of Kane County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF <Kam County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF County Martha Sonntag Bradley Kane County is noted for some of the most beautiful—though often inhospitable—land in Utah and has been home to resourceful humans for thousands of years. It was outside the area of first Mormon settlement and was actually created in the early 1860s before many had moved to the area. After the Black Hawk War, settlers soon moved to favorable locations such as Kanab and Long Valley, establishing towns in the isolated region north of the Arizona Strip with economies based on ranching and timber harvesting. With the improvement of area roads and communications in the twentieth century, more people became aware of the scenic splen­ dor of the county, and tourism and movie making began to increase, Kanab even be­ coming known as Utah's Little Hollywood during the heyday of filmmaking. Traditional extractive uses of the land's resources have declined in recent years, but the recent cre­ ation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Na­ tional Monument has brought the promise of increased tourism to the area. It also has sparked opposition from many who had hoped for coal mining development in the region. Issues of control and uses of public lands promise to be debated vigorously as the county enters the new millenium.

Executive Summary In this document, the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology reviews the paleontological resources currently known from the U.S. National Monuments established since 1996 and explains why altering or revoking their boundaries would be disastrous for the science of paleontology. In these comments, we present: i. our views on the role of public lands in the science of paleontology (p. 2); ii. information on the benefit of paleontological science and education at these monuments to the general public (p. 4); iii. comments on why mining operations are incompatible with discovery and scientific study of paleontological resources (p. 4); iv. specific details about the paleontological resources at each of the continental monuments under review (p 6); v. a copy of the comments we submitted on May 25, 2017, about Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments (tracking number 1k1-8wld-cxoj) (Appendix 1, p. 17); vi. representative scientific publications on paleontological resources at each of the moments (Appendix 2, p. 25) We find that all 21 non-marine monuments protect scientifically important vertebrate fossils or rocks with a high potential for yielding them, and are therefore are appropriately designated under the Antiquities Act of 1906 (note: ‘fossils’ must not to be confused with ‘fossil fuels’).

  • Topography of the Southwestern US
    Chapter 4: Topography of the topography • the landscape Southwestern US of an area, including the presence or absence of hills and the slopes between high and low areas. Does your region have rolling hills? Mountainous areas? Flat land where you never have to bike up a hill? The answers to these questions can help others understand the basic topography of your region. The term topography is used to describe the shape of the land surface as measured by how elevation— geologic time scale • a height above sea level—varies over large and small areas. Over geologic standard timeline used to time, topography changes as a result of weathering and erosion, as well as describe the age of rocks and fossils, and the events that the type and structure of the underlying bedrock. It is also a story of plate formed them. tectonics, volcanoes, folding, faulting, uplift, and mountain building. The Southwest’s topographic zones are under the influence of the destructive surface processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering includes both the plate tectonics • the process mechanical and chemical processes that break down a rock. There are two by which the plates of the types of weathering: physical and chemical. Physical weathering describes the Earth’s crust move and physical or mechanical breakdown of a rock, during which the rock is broken interact with one another at their boundaries. into smaller pieces but no chemical changes take place. Water, ice, and wind all contribute to physical weathering, sculpting the landscape into characteristic forms determined by the climate. In most areas, water is the primary agent of erosion.
