This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2003 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.

  • Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms
    Title 430 – National Soil Survey Handbook Part 629 – Glossary of Landform and Geologic Terms Subpart A – General Information 629.0 Definition and Purpose This glossary provides the NCSS soil survey program, soil scientists, and natural resource specialists with landform, geologic, and related terms and their definitions to— (1) Improve soil landscape description with a standard, single source landform and geologic glossary. (2) Enhance geomorphic content and clarity of soil map unit descriptions by use of accurate, defined terms. (3) Establish consistent geomorphic term usage in soil science and the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS). (4) Provide standard geomorphic definitions for databases and soil survey technical publications. (5) Train soil scientists and related professionals in soils as landscape and geomorphic entities. 629.1 Responsibilities This glossary serves as the official NCSS reference for landform, geologic, and related terms. The staff of the National Soil Survey Center, located in Lincoln, NE, is responsible for maintaining and updating this glossary. Soil Science Division staff and NCSS participants are encouraged to propose additions and changes to the glossary for use in pedon descriptions, soil map unit descriptions, and soil survey publications. The Glossary of Geology (GG, 2005) serves as a major source for many glossary terms. The American Geologic Institute (AGI) granted the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) permission (in letters dated September 11, 1985, and September 22, 1993) to use existing definitions. Sources of, and modifications to, original definitions are explained immediately below. 629.2 Definitions A.

Box 757220, 213 O’Neill Building, Fairbanks, AK 99775, USA Accepted 15 July 2005 Available online 27 December 2005 Abstract Lavas and volcaniclastic deposits were observed and collected from 4 submarine cones that are part of the Honolulu Volcanics on Oahu, Hawaii. The locations of these and a few additional, but unsampled, vents demonstrate that nearly all the vents are located on or very close to the shoreline of Oahu, with the most distal vent just 12 km offshore. The clastic samples and outcrops range from coarse breccias to cross-bedded ash deposits and show that explosive volcanism at depths between about 350 and 590 m depth played a part in forming these volcanic cones. The eruptive styles appear to be dominantly effusive to strombolian at greater depths, but apparently include violent phreatomagmatic explosive activity at the shallower sites along the submarine southwest extension of the Koko Rift.

This is reflected in the UNESCO IGCP Project (# 692. Geoheritage for Geohazard Resilience) that continues to successfully develop global awareness of the multifaced aspects of geoheritage research. Geohazards form a great variety of natural phenomena that should be properly identified, and their importance communicated to all levels of society. This is especially the case in urban areas such as Auckland. The largest socio-economic urban center in New Zealand, Auckland faces potential volcanic hazards as it sits on an active Quaternary monogenetic volcanic field. Individual volcanic geosites of young eruptive products are considered to form the foundation of community Citation: Németh, K.; Gravis, I.; outreach demonstrating causes and consequences of volcanism associated volcanism.

Mixed-method bicultural research in Aotearoa New Zealand, including the weaving of Indigenous and other 10 knowledges, is experiencing a resurgence within many academic disciplines. However, mātauranga Māori–the knowledge, culture, value and worldview of the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand—and Te Ao Māori, the Māori world, is poorly represented within geomorphological investigations. Here, we review existing efforts to include Indigenous knowledge in geologic and geomorphic studies from the international research community and provide an overview of the current state of mātauranga Māori within research endeavours in Aotearoa New Zealand. We review three theoretical frameworks for 15 including mātauranga Māori in research projects and three models for including Māori values within research. We identify direct benefits to geomorphology and discuss how these frameworks and models can be adapted for use with Indigenous knowledge systems outside of Aotearoa New Zealand. The aim of this review is to encourage geomorphologists around the world to engage with local Indigenous peoples to develop new approaches to geomorphic research.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WRI REPORT 83-4118-G MAP SHOWING OUTCROPS OF PRE-QUATERNARY BASALTIC ROCKS, BASIN AND RANGE PROVINCE, NEW MEXICO Compiled by William D. Johnson, Jr. INTRODUCTION This map report is one of a series of geologic and hydrologic maps covering all or parts of States within the Basin and Range province of the western United States. The map reports contain detailed information on subjects that characterize the geohydrology of the province, including the ground-water hydrology, ground-water quality, surface distribution of selected rock types, tectonic conditions, areal geophysics, Pleistocene lakes and marshes, and mineral and energy resources. This work is a part of the U.S. Geological Survey's program for geologic and hydrologic evaluation of the Basin and Range province to identify potentially suitable regions for further study relative to disposal of high-level nuclear waste (Bedinger, Sargent, and Reed, 1984). This map was prepared from published geologic maps and reports, particularly a geologic map published by the New Mexico Geological Society (1982) and the U.S. Geological Survey (Dane and Bachman, 1965). For this study, basaltic rocks generally include basalt, andesitic basalt, and basaltic andesite, but locally interbedded with the basaltic rocks are flows of andesite, latite, and dacite, and tuffs of andesite and rhyolite. Thin beds of scoria, cinders, breccia, and agglomerate also commonly are associated with the basaltic rocks. The map shows the known distribution of pre-Quaternary basaltic rocks within the Basin and Range province in New Mexico. Because so few data about the thicknesses of the basaltic flows are available and because the thicknesses may change markedly within short distances, it was not practical to limit the map distribution to just those basaltic units greater than 330 feet thick, as defined in the project guidelines (Sargent and Bedinger, 1984).

Mixed-method bicultural research in Aotearoa New Zealand, including the weaving of Indigenous and other knowledge, is emerging within many academic disciplines. However, matauranga¯ Maori¯ (the knowl- edge, culture, values, and world view of the Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa New Zealand) and Te Ao Maori¯ (the Maori¯ world) is poorly represented within geomorphological investigations. Here, we review international efforts to include Indigenous knowledge in geologic and geomorphic studies and provide an overview of the current state of matauranga¯ Maori¯ within research endeavours in Aotearoa New Zealand. We review three the- oretical frameworks (i.e. methodologies) for including matauranga¯ Maori¯ in research projects and three models (i.e. methods) for including Maori¯ values within research. We identify direct benefits to geomorphology and discuss how these frameworks and models can be adapted for use with Indigenous knowledge systems outside of Aotearoa New Zealand.
