The Geologic Resources Inventory (GRI) helps make this connection by providing information on the role of geology and geologic resource management in parks. Geologic resources for management consideration include both the processes that act upon the Earth and the features formed as a result of these processes. Geologic processes

A Thesis In Geology Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCES Approved Dustin E. Sweet Chair of Committee Tom M. Lehman Jeffery A. Lee Mark Sheridan Dean of the Graduate School August, 2017 Copyright 2017, James D. Pike Texas Tech University, James Daniel Pike, August 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my greatest thanks to my advisor Dr. Dustin Sweet, who was an excellent advisor during this research. Dr. Sweet was vital throughout the whole process, be it answering questions, giving feedback on figures, and imparting his extensive knowledge of the ancestral Rocky Mountains on me; for this I am extremely grateful. Dr. Sweet allowed me to conduct my own research without looking over my shoulder, but was always available when needed. When I needed a push, Dr. Sweet provided it. I would like to thank my committee memebers, Dr. Lee and Dr. Lehman for providing feedback and for their unique perspectives. I would like to thank Jenna Hessert, Trent Jackson, and Khaled Chowdhury for acting as my field assistants. Their help in taking measurements, collecting samples, recording GPS coordinates, and providing unique perspectives was invaluable. Thank you to Melanie Barnes for allowing me to use her lab, and putting up with the mess I made. This research was made possible by a grant provided by the Colorado Scientific Society, and a scholarship provided by East Texas Geological Society.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1977 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.

  • Moab/ Westwater - Bike/Raft Sampler 4 Day
    Moab/ Westwater - Bike/Raft Sampler 4 Day The Moab mountain biking–Westwater Canyon combination trip brings together two of the most popular activities in Utah. Mountain biking and Moab are nearly synonymous; the former uranium boom town has become a mecca for bikers wanting to swoop, soar, climb, and roll over sandstone and wild desert trails. Follow this up with two days of floating on the Colorado River, splashing through rapids beneath the sheer black walls of Westwater Canyon, falling asleep to the sound of water on rocks: relaxation well deserved. ​ ​ SAMPLE 4-DAY ITINERARY One of the advantages of a bike/river trip is the flexibility of the daily itinerary. It can vary widely from one trip to the next based on group desires and ability level, Mother Nature, and courtesy for other groups in the area. This typical itinerary illustrates a bike trip in the Moab area and raft trip through Westwater Canyon on the Colorado River. Day 1: Meet group at headquarters in Green River, Utah. A one-hour van ride to Moab marks the start of the trip. We will select ​ a base camp on public land outside of town, location to be determined by where we want to ride, weather, and camp availability. We will begin with a warm-up ride, depending on the group's interests and ability level. The Bar M trail network north of Moab provides a number of excellent short beginner and intermediate single-track loops. Options for after lunch include riding the Klondike Bluffs or Magnificent 7 trail networks. Dinner and solar showers await back at base camp.

  • Geology and Stratigraphy Column
    Capitol Reef National Park National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Geology “Geology knows no such word as forever.” —Wallace Stegner Capitol Reef National Park’s geologic story reveals a nearly complete set of Mesozoic-era sedimentary layers. For 200 million years, rock layers formed at or near sea level. About 75-35 million years ago tectonic forces uplifted them, forming the Waterpocket Fold. Forces of erosion have been sculpting this spectacular landscape ever since. Deposition If you could travel in time and visit Capitol Visiting Capitol Reef 180 million years ago, Reef 245 million years ago, you would not when the Navajo Sandstone was deposited, recognize the landscape. Imagine a coastal you would have been surrounded by a giant park, with beaches and tidal flats; the water sand sea, the largest in Earth’s history. In this moves in and out gently, shaping ripple marks hot, dry climate, wind blew over sand dunes, in the wet sand. This is the environment creating large, sweeping crossbeds now in which the sediments of the Moenkopi preserved in the sandstone of Capitol Dome Formation were deposited. and Fern’s Nipple.

LAKE POWELL Lake Powell, now at elevation 3,680 feet, is expected to fill to elevation 3,700 feet by next July. The lake is rising at l/2 foot per day. COLORADO RIVER THROUGH GRAND CANYON Because Lake Powell will probably fill, more water than usual will be released this spring.
