  • The Science Behind Volcanoes
    The Science Behind Volcanoes A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so- called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Erupting volcanoes can pose many hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. Volcanic ash can be a threat to aircraft, in particular those with jet engines where ash particles can be melted by the high operating temperature. Large eruptions can affect temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscure the sun and cool the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere; however, they also absorb heat radiated up from the Earth, thereby warming the stratosphere.

  • Proposal for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Navajo Lake Sportfish Improvement
    Proposal for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Navajo Lake Sportfish Improvement Project Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Southern Region Project Background and Summary Navajo Lake is a popular sport fishery on the Cedar City Ranger District. Creel surveys show that this lake receives as much or more fishing pressure than blue ribbon fisheries on the District like Panguitch Lake. Fish management of Navajo Lake has varied over the years, with the primary fishery being catchable rainbow trout. Utah chub are a minnow native to the Bonneville Basin that have been shown to outcompete trout for resources in many lake systems throughout Utah, negatively impacting the quality of the sport fishery. When the chub population is dense, rainbow trout stocked at "catchable" size (10 inches) in the spring show little growth through the summer and limited survival through the winter. Rotenone was used in 1988 and 1997 to eliminate/reduce Utah chub populations in Navajo Lake when their populations rose to the level where the sport fishery was negatively impacted. In the late 2000s when chub populations began increasing the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stocked splake (a brook trout/lake trout hybrid) into Navajo Lake in the hopes that this fish-eating species might be able to control Utah chub numbers. In the early 2010s this worked well and produced a trophy splake fishery. Winterkill in the late 2010s killed most of the splake and since that time the sport fishery has declined, and Utah chub numbers have continued to rise (Hadley, 2020). The current low water levels provides an opportunity to treat Navajo Lake at a lower cost than has been done previously.
