  • On the Use of Planetary Science Data for Studying Extrasolar Planets a Science Frontier White Paper Submitted to the Astronomy & Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey
    On the Use of Planetary Science Data for Studying Extrasolar Planets A science frontier white paper submitted to the Astronomy & Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey Thematic Area: Planetary Systems Principal Author Daniel J. Crichton Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology [email protected] 818-354-9155 Co-Authors: J. Steve Hughes, Gael Roudier, Robert West, Jeffrey Jewell, Geoffrey Bryden, Mark Swain, T. Joseph W. Lazio (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology) There is an opportunity to advance both solar system and extrasolar planetary studies that does not require the construction of new telescopes or new missions but better use and access to inter-disciplinary data sets. This approach leverages significant investment from NASA and international space agencies in exploring this solar system and using those discoveries as “ground truth” for the study of extrasolar planets. This white paper illustrates the potential, using phase curves and atmospheric modeling as specific examples. A key advance required to realize this potential is to enable seamless discovery and access within and between planetary science and astronomical data sets. Further, seamless data discovery and access also expands the availability of science, allowing researchers and students at a variety of institutions, equipped only with Internet access and a decent computer to conduct cutting-edge research. © 2019 California Institute of Technology.

  • 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.

  • Factors Affecting Cottonwood Recruitment in Zion National Park
    Factors Affecting Cottonwood Recruitment in Zion National Park Final Report to National Park Service CPCESU, Project number OSU 3 and OSU 4 Cooperative Agreement CA# H1200040002 By William J. Ripple1 and Robert L. Beschta College of Forestry Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR 97331 E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (541) 737-3956 Fax: (541) 737-3049 January 29, 2007 1 Corresponding author 1 Factors Affecting Cottonwood Recruitment in Zion National Park Abstract The strength of top-down forces in terrestrial food webs is highly debated as there are few examples illustrating the role of large mammalian carnivores in structuring biotic and abiotic systems. Based on the results of this study we hypothesize that an increase in human visitation within Zion Canyon of Zion National Park ultimately resulted in a catastrophic regime shift through pathways involving trophic cascades and abiotic environmental changes. Increases in human visitors in Zion canyon apparently reduced cougar (Puma concolor) densities, which subsequently led to higher mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) densities, higher browsing intensities and reduced recruitment of riparian cottonwood trees (Populus fremontii), increased bank erosion, and reductions in both terrestrial and aquatic species abundance. These results may have broad implications with regard to our understanding of alternative ecosystem states where large carnivores have been removed or are being recovered. Key Words: predator, cottonwood, deer, stream, biodiversity, Leopold 2 Introduction Humans can have a major role in food web dynamics by displacing or extirpating top predators. Over a half century ago, the iconoclast Aldo Leopold was among the first to argue that elimination of large mammalian predators had strong top-down influences on ecosystems (Leopold et al., 1947).

Box 651, New Harmony, UT 84757 Utah Geosites 2019 Utah Geological Association Publication 48 M. Milligan, R.F. Biek, P. Inkenbrandt, and P. Nielsen, editors Cover Image: Th e type section of the Brian Head Formation (Tbh) is on the ridge just right of center (by the Tbh label). Brian Head peak is capped by the Leach Canyon Formation (Tql), which overlies the Isom Formation (Ti). A modern landslide (Qms) is west and south of the peak. M. Milligan, R.F. Biek, P. Inkenbrandt, and P. Nielsen, editors 2019 Utah Geological Association Publication 48 Presidents Message I have had the pleasure of working with many diff erent geologists from all around the world. As I have traveled around Utah for work and pleasure, many times I have observed vehicles parked alongside the road with many people climbing around an outcrop or walking up a trail in a canyon. Whether these people are from Utah or from another state or country, they all are quick to mention to me how wonderful our geology is here in Utah. Utah Geosites 2019 Utah is at the junction of several diff erent geological provinces. We have the Basin and Range to the west and the Central Utah Utah Geological Association Publication 48 Hingeline and Th rust Belt down the middle. Th e Uinta Mountains M. Milligan, R.F. Biek, P.
