  • Deep Groundwater and Potential Subsurface Habitats Beneath an Antarctic Dry Valley
    ARTICLE Received 21 May 2014 | Accepted 2 Mar 2015 | Published 28 Apr 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7831 OPEN Deep groundwater and potential subsurface habitats beneath an Antarctic dry valley J.A. Mikucki1, E. Auken2, S. Tulaczyk3, R.A. Virginia4, C. Schamper5, K.I. Sørensen2, P.T. Doran6, H. Dugan7 & N. Foley3 The occurrence of groundwater in Antarctica, particularly in the ice-free regions and along the coastal margins is poorly understood. Here we use an airborne transient electromagnetic (AEM) sensor to produce extensive imagery of resistivity beneath Taylor Valley. Regional- scale zones of low subsurface resistivity were detected that are inconsistent with the high resistivity of glacier ice or dry permafrost in this region. We interpret these results as an indication that liquid, with sufficiently high solute content, exists at temperatures well below freezing and considered within the range suitable for microbial life. These inferred brines are widespread within permafrost and extend below glaciers and lakes. One system emanates from below Taylor Glacier into Lake Bonney and a second system connects the ocean with the eastern 18 km of the valley. A connection between these two basins was not detected to the depth limitation of the AEM survey (B350 m). 1 Department of Microbiology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee 37996, USA. 2 Department of Geosciences, Aarhus University, Aarhus 8000, Denmark. 3 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of California, Santa Cruz, California 95064, USA. 4 Environmental Studies Program, Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire 03755, USA. 5 Sorbonne Universite´s, UPMC Univ Paris 06, CNRS, EPHE, UMR 7619 Metis, 4 place Jussieu, Paris 75252, France.

  • Tectonics and Seismicity of the Southern Washington Cascade Range
    Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, Vol. 86, No. 1A, pp. 1-18, February 1996 Tectonics and Seismicity of the Southern Washington Cascade Range by W. D. Stanley, S. Y. Johnson, A. I. Qamar, C. S. Weaver, and J. M. Williams Abstract Geophysical, geological, and seismicity data are combined to develop a transpressional strain model for the southern Washington Cascades region. We use this model to explain oblique fold and fault systems, transverse faults, and a linear seismic zone just west of Mt. Rainier known as the western Rainier zone. We also attempt to explain a concentration of earthquakes that connects the northwest-trend- ing Mount St. Helens seismic zone to the north-trending western Rainier zone. Our tectonic model illustrates the pervasive effects of accretionary processes, combined with subsequent transpressive forces generated by oblique subduction, on Eocene to present crustal processes, such as seismicity and volcanism.

  • A History of Juab County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF fjuab County Pearl D. Wilson with June McNulty and David Hampshire UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF JuaB County Pearl D. Wilson with June McNulty and David Hampshire luab County, one of Utah's earliest created counties, sits along the strategic north-south corridor of the state. Prehistoric and Native American Indian cultures roamed there, as did early Spanish priests and explorers, who left an important record of the area. Trappers and traders wandered the mountains and deserts that create stark contrasts in this geo­ graphically diverse county. Mark Twain, an early traveler through parts of luab, penned interesting insights of the county, which contained portions of the Pony Express and Overland Stage routes. Mormon pioneers arrived to establish farms and ranches. This was followed by the build­ ing of railroads and mineral exploration. Rail traffic for a vast region centered in Nephi, labeled "Little Chicago." To the west, the Tintic Mining District rose as one of Utah's richest gold and silver mining areas, attract­ ing a more ethnically diverse population. From majestic Mount Nebo to streams and lakes and the vast sand dunes of west Juab, the county contains many recreational possibili­ ties. Juab County is rich in history, geogra­ phy, and tradition; this book tells its story. ISBN: 0-913738-20-4 A HISTORY OF Juab County A HISTORY OF ffuaB County Pearl D.

  • Juab County, Utah Resource Assessment August 2005
    Juab County, Utah Resource Assessment August 2005 This resource assessment is designed to gather and display information specific to Juab County, Utah. This report will highlight the natural and social resources present in the county, detail specific concerns, and be used to aid in resource planning and target conservation assistance needs. This document is dynamic and will be updated as additional information is available through a multi-agency partnership effort. The general observations and summaries are listed first, followed by the specific resource inventories. Contents Observations and Summary Resource Concerns - Air, Plants, Animals Land Use Resource Concerns - Social and Economic Resource Concerns - Soils Survey Results Resource Concerns - Water Footnotes/Bibliography Introduction Juab County was formed in 1852, including portions of what is now Nevada. The size of the county was reduced in 1854 and 1856 along with various other changes through the years until the current borders were set. The first real settlement came in 1851 when Mormon pioneers settled Nephi. They relied mainly on agriculture for their livelihoods. In 1869, silver, gold, copper and other precious metals were discovered in the Tintic region. Many mining towns, such as Diamond, Silver City and Eureka popped up during this era. By 1899, it was considered to be one of the richest mining districts in the entire nation. Mining continued into the mid-1900's with the operations scaling down through the rest of the century. Area: 3,412 square miles; population: 5,817 (in 1990); county seat: Nephi; origin of county name: from the Ute word meaning flat or level plain; principal cities/towns: Nephi (3,515), Mona (584), Eureka (562), Levan (416); economy: agriculture, manufacturing, mining, recreation; points of interest: Historic Tintic Mining District, Little Sahara Recreation Area, Old Pony Express and Stage Route, Yuba Reservoir, Goshute Indian Reservation, Tintic Mining Museum in Eureka, Mount Nebo Wilderness Area, Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge.

  • Growth and Erosion of Fold-And-Thrust Belts with an Application to the Aconcagua Fold-And-Thrust Belt, Argentina G
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 109, B01410, doi:10.1029/2002JB002282, 2004 Growth and erosion of fold-and-thrust belts with an application to the Aconcagua fold-and-thrust belt, Argentina G. E. Hilley1 and M. R. Strecker Institut fu¨r Geowissenschaften, Universita¨t Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany V. A. Ramos Department de Geologia, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina Received 1 November 2002; revised 26 August 2003; accepted 11 September 2003; published 23 January 2004. [1] The development of topography within and erosional removal of material from an orogen exerts a primary control on its structure. We develop a model that describes the temporal development of a frontally accreting, critically growing Coulomb wedge whose topography is largely limited by bedrock fluvial incision. We present general results for arbitrary initial critical wedge geometries and investigate the temporal development of a critical wedge with no initial topography. Increasing rock erodibility and/or precipitation, decreasing mass flux accreting to the wedge front, increasing wedge sole-out depth, decreasing wedge and basal decollement overpressure, and increasing basal decollement friction lead to narrow wedges. Large power law exponent values cause the wedge geometry to quickly reach a condition in which all material accreted to the front of the wedge is removed by erosion. We apply our model to the Aconcagua fold-and-thrust belt in the central Andes of Argentina where wedge development over time is well constrained. We solve for the erosional coefficient K that is required to recreate the field-constrained wedge growth history, and these values are within the range of independently determined values in analogous rock types.

  • Geology, Geochemistry, and Geochronology of the Marigold Mine, Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend, Nevada
    GEOLOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY, AND GEOCHRONOLOGY OF THE MARIGOLD MINE, BATTLE MOUNTAIN-EUREKA TREND, NEVADA by Matthew T. Fithian ! A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date ____________________ Signed: _______________________ Matthew T. Fithian Signed: _______________________ Dr. Elizabeth A. Holley Thesis Advisor Signed: _______________________ Dr. Nigel M. Kelly Thesis Co-Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ____________________ Signed: _______________________ Dr. Paul Santi Department Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ! ii! ABSTRACT The Marigold mine is located on the northern end of Nevada’s Battle Mountain-Eureka trend, approximately 55 km east-southeast of Winnemucca, Nevada in the Battle Mountain mining district. Marigold defines a N-S trending cluster of economic gold anomalies approximately 7 km long. Marigold has been historically described as a porphyry-related distal disseminated deposit based on the presence of porphyritic intrusions, proximity to known porphyry systems (e.g. Phoenix, Converse, Elder Creek), inferred high Ag:Au ratio, and limited understanding of sulfide mineralogy related to gold mineralization. The aim of this research was to examine the genesis of the gold mineralizing system at Marigold by determining the age of felsic porphyritic intrusions throughout the Marigold mine and the genetic relationship between these intrusions and gold mineralization. Geochronologic data were supplemented by geochemical sampling to understand the effect of the intrusions on the host rock, the effect of alteration on the intrusions, and the geochemical signature of gold ores. In addition to geochronologic and geochemical data, a secondary goal of the project was to determine the ore mineralogy below the redox boundary.
