GREAT Day 2007 Program Welcome to SUNY Geneseo’s First Annual G.R.E.A.T. Day! Geneseo Recognizing Excellence, Achievement & Talent Day is a college-wide symposium celebrating the creative and scholarly endeavors of our students. In addition to recognizing the achievements of our students, the purpose of G.R.E.A.T. Day is to help foster academic excellence, encourage professional development, and build connections within the community. The G.R.E.A.T. Day Planning Committee: Doug Anderson, School of the Arts Anne Baldwin, Sponsored Research Joan Ballard, Department of Psychology Anne Eisenberg, Department of Sociology Charlie Freeman, Department of Physics & Astronomy Tom Greenfield, Department of English Anthony Gu, School of Business Koomi Kim, School of Education Andrea Klein, Scheduling and Special Events The Planning Committee would like to thank: Stacie Anekstein, Ed Antkoviak, Brian Bennett, Cassie Brown, Michael Caputo, Sue Chichester, Betsy Colon, Laura Cook, Ann Crandall, Joe Dolce, Tammy Farrell, Carlo Filice, Richard Finkelstein, Karie Frisiras, Ginny Geer-Mentry, Becky Glass, Dave Gordon, Corey Ha, John Haley, Doug Harke, Gregg Hartvigsen, Tony Hoppa, Paul Jackson, Ellen Kintz, Nancy Johncox, Enrico Johnson, Ken Kallio, Jo Kirk, Sue Mallaber, Mary McCrank, Nancy Newcomb, Elizabeth Otero, Tracy Paradis, Jennifer Perry, Jewel Reardon, Ed Rivenburgh, Linda Shepard, Bonnie Swoger, Helen Thomas, Pam Thomas, and Taryn Thompson. Thank you to President Christopher Dahl and Provost Katherine Conway-Turner for their support of G.R.E.A.T. Day. Thank you to Lynn Weber for delivering our inaugural keynote address. The G.R.E.A.T. Day name was suggested by Elizabeth Otero, a senior Philosophy major. The G.R.E.A.T. Day logo was designed by Ed Antkoviak, Duplicating Center. G.R.E.A.T. Day is funded by the Office of the Provost.

It depicts a man and woman playing spin the bottle. The woman has spun the bottle, and it landed on the man. However, once that happened, she began to peel back her face, which was never her face at all, it would seem. Instead, she has revealed a hideous bug-like alien face that no one would dare kiss. Tough luck. Picture-in-Picture Picture-in-Picture is a full sized, full color comic rendered in charcoal, watercolor and pastel. It depicts a couple having a fight.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material.

This theme has several meanings. In particular, we will draw attention to the Gulf of Mexico–Caribbean, and the surrounding T American continents, bridging the knowledge gap that exists across a region divided by polit- ical boundaries and language but sharing a common geologic framework. Bridging the Gulf also addresses the need to develop a closer link between technology and the science of geology and to educate the public on issues critical to the development of intelligent policies on the environment and geologic hazards. We also hope to bridge the gulf between the past and the future with both a retrospection on the past 25 years of plate tectonics and a look at the future as geology responds to society’s needs. Finally, we view the city of New Orleans, the Mississippi River and its delta, and the Gulf Coast as a laboratory where the long- term effects of humans on the environment can be examined. NEW ORLEANS: The Crescent City–New Orleans is nestled on the inside of a south-looping meander of the Mississippi River.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

From the images, we identified about 21,100 stereo image Topography combinations consisting of at least three images each. We applied sparse multi-image matching to derive Hun Kal approximately 250,000 tie-points representing 50,000 ground points. We used the tie-points to carry out a DTM photogrammetric block adjustment, which improves the image pointing and the accuracy of the ground point positions in three dimensions from about 850 m to approximately 55 m.

  • The Tennessee Meteorite Impact Sites and Changing Perspectives on Impact Cratering
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND THE TENNESSEE METEORITE IMPACT SITES AND CHANGING PERSPECTIVES ON IMPACT CRATERING A dissertation submitted by Janaruth Harling Ford B.A. Cum Laude (Vanderbilt University), M. Astron. (University of Western Sydney) For the award of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT Terrestrial impact structures offer astronomers and geologists opportunities to study the impact cratering process. Tennessee has four structures of interest. Information gained over the last century and a half concerning these sites is scattered throughout astronomical, geological and other specialized scientific journals, books, and literature, some of which are elusive. Gathering and compiling this widely- spread information into one historical document benefits the scientific community in general. The Wells Creek Structure is a proven impact site, and has been referred to as the ‘syntype’ cryptoexplosion structure for the United State. It was the first impact structure in the United States in which shatter cones were identified and was probably the subject of the first detailed geological report on a cryptoexplosive structure in the United States. The Wells Creek Structure displays bilateral symmetry, and three smaller ‘craters’ lie to the north of the main Wells Creek structure along its axis of symmetry. The question remains as to whether or not these structures have a common origin with the Wells Creek structure. The Flynn Creek Structure, another proven impact site, was first mentioned as a site of disturbance in Safford’s 1869 report on the geology of Tennessee. It has been noted as the terrestrial feature that bears the closest resemblance to a typical lunar crater, even though it is the probable result of a shallow marine impact.
