An Interpretation of the Structural Geology of the Franklin Mountains, Texas Earl M
New Mexico Geological Society Downloaded from: http://nmgs.nmt.edu/publications/guidebooks/26 An interpretation of the structural geology of the Franklin Mountains, Texas Earl M. P. Lovejoy, 1975, pp. 261-268 in: Las Cruces Country, Seager, W. R.; Clemons, R. E.; Callender, J. F.; [eds.], New Mexico Geological Society 26th Annual Fall Field Conference Guidebook, 376 p. This is one of many related papers that were included in the 1975 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.

Supplementary Notes DOI: 10.7922/G29G5K2R 16. Abstract Between 2017 and 2019, California experienced a series of devastating wildfires that together led over one million people to be ordered to evacuate. Due to the speed of many of these wildfires, residents across California found themselves in challenging evacuation situations, often at night and with little time to escape. These evacuations placed considerable stress on public resources and infrastructure for both transportation and sheltering. -
Alkalic-Type Epithermal Gold Deposit Model
Alkalic-Type Epithermal Gold Deposit Model Chapter R of Mineral Deposit Models for Resource Assessment Scientific Investigations Report 2010–5070–R U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Cover. Photographs of alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits and ores. Upper left: Cripple Creek, Colorado—One of the largest alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits in the world showing the Cresson open pit looking southwest. Note the green funnel-shaped area along the pit wall is lamprophyre of the Cresson Pipe, a common alkaline rock type in these deposits. The Cresson Pipe was mined by historic underground methods and produced some of the richest ores in the district. The holes that are visible along several benches in the pit (bottom portion of photograph) are historic underground mine levels. (Photograph by Karen Kelley, USGS, April, 2002).

2019 Wildland Fire Season
Pacific Northwest Fire and Aviation Management 2019 WILDLAND FIRE SEASON A cooperative effort between the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Department of the Interior 1 The 204 Cow Fire, ignited by lightning in August 2019 on the Malheur National Forest, was managed to reduce fuel build-up and restore forest health in an area dominated by beetle- killed trees that had not seen fire in 30 years. Photo Credit: Michael Haas Cover: The lightning-caused Granite Gulch Fire, which started in July 2019, burned in a remote part of the Eagle Cap Wilderness within the Wallowa- Whitman National Forest and was successfully managed to restore ecosystem resiliency. USFS Photo 2 A Season of Extremes: Opportunities in Oregon and Washington, Challenges in Alaska The 2019 fire season was short and inexpensive compared to past years in Oregon and Washington. Resources were on board and ready for an active fire year. Yet, the level of fire activity and resource commitment remained well below what has been experienced in recent years. Recurrent precipitation kept most of the geographic area at or below average levels of fuels dryness. The fuel moisture retention helped minimize severe wildfire activity and enabled firefighters to quickly contain hundreds of fires during initial attack. In Alaska, the situation was very different. Fire conditions warranted the highest preparedness level for an extended period of time. Resources from Oregon and Washington were sent to assist with a long and challenging season. While Alaska focused on wildfire suppression, Oregon and Washington seized opportunities to promote resilient landscapes through proactive fire management when conditions allowed. -
Subduction Cycles Under Western North America During the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras
.. Geological Society of America Special Paper 299 1995 Subduction cycles under western North America during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras Peter L. Ward U.S. Geological Survey, 345 Middlefield Road, MS 977, Menlo Park, California 94025 ABSTRACT An extensive review of geologic and tectonic features of western North America suggests that the interaction of oceanic plates with the continent follows a broad cycli- cal pattern. In a typical cycle, periods of rapid subduction (7-15 cdyr), andesitic vol- canism, and trench-normal contraction are followed by a shift to trench-normal extension, the onset of voluminous silicic volcanism, formation of large calderas, and the creation of major batholiths. Extension becomes pervasive in metamorphic core complexes, and there is a shift to fundamentally basaltic volcanism, formation of flood basalts, widespread rifting, rotation of terranes, and extensive circulation of flu- ids throughout the plate margin. Strike-slip faulting becomes widespread with the creation of new tectonostratigraphic terranes. A new subduction zone forms and the cycle repeats. Each cycle is 50-80 m.y. long; cycles since the Triassic have ended and begun at approximately 225, 152, 92, 44, and 15 Ma. The youngest two cycles are diachronous, one from Oregon to Alaska, the other from central Mexico to Califor- nia. The transitions from one cycle to the next cycle are characterized by rapid and pervasive changes termed, in this chapter, “major chaotic tectonic events.” These events appear to be related to the necking or breaking apart of the formerly sub- ducted slab at shallow depth, the resulting delamination of the plate margin, and the onset of a new subduction cycle. -
