Prior to meeting in executive session, Michael Cacioppo, Avon resident, provided the following comments about the executive session agenda language: The Vail Daily advertisement in newspaper font is too small; requested larger font size.

The narrative of historic activities serves as a guide and yardstick regarding what physical evidence of these activities—historic sites, structures, ruins and objects—are known or suspected to be present on the land, and evaluation of what their historical significance may be. Such information is essential in making a wide variety of land management decisions effecting historic cultural resources. Objectives: As a basic cultural resource inventory and evaluation tool, the narrative and initial inventory of known historic resources will serve a variety of objectives: 1. Provide information for basic Bureau planning docu¬ ments and land management decisions relating to cultural resources.

Such flows must commonly travel through a field of oscillatory flow caused by wind-generated waves; little is known, however, about the interactions between waves and turbidity currents. We explore these interactions through detailed process-oriented sedimentological analysis of sandstone event beds from the Pennsylvanian Minturn Formation in north-central Colorado, U.S.A. The Minturn Formation exhibits a complex stratigraphic architecture of fan-delta deposits that developed in association with high topographic relief in a tectonically active setting. An , 20–35-m- thick, unconformity-bounded unit of prodelta deposits consists of dark green shale and turbidite-like sandstone beds with tool marks produced by abundant plant debris. Some of the sandstone event beds, most abundant at distal localities, contain reverse- to-normal grading and sequences of sedimentary structures that indicate deposition from waxing to waning flows. In contrast, proximal deposits, in some cases less than a kilometer away, contain abundant beds with evidence for deposition by wave- dominated combined flows, including large-scale hummocky cross-stratification (HCS).

Cheatgrass can be especially problematic after fire—either prescribed fire or wildfire. Although cheatgrass is known to generally thrive in regions of moderate temperatures, dry sum- mers, and reliable winter precipitation, the spatial patterns of postfire cheatgrass invasion are not well characterized at finer spatial scales (e.g., within most individual landscapes). We used boosted regression trees to develop a spatial model of cheatgrass abundance 0 yr to 19 yr postfire in an 8000 km2 semiarid landscape centered on Dinosaur National Monu- ment (Colorado and Utah, USA). Elevation, a deterministic variable, was the strongest single predictor, with higher cheatgrass cover occurring below 1600 meters. Two other contingent variables, fire severity and climatic conditions in the year after the fire, -in creased the model’s predictive power. The influence of fire severity differed with the scale of analysis.

  • THE HISTORY of a PORTION of Yal\Ipa RIVER, COLORADO, and ITS POSSIBLE BEARING on THAT of GREEN RIVER
    THE HISTORY OF A PORTION OF YAl\iPA RIVER, COLORADO, AND ITS POSSIBLE BEARING ON THAT OF GREEN RIVER. By E. T. HANCOCK. Few regions offer more interesting geologic problems relating to drainage than the Uinta Mountains, in Utah and Colorado, and the ar3a immediately east of them. In fact, the writer's attention was primarily attracted to this field by the diversity of opinion regarding the ante­ cedent origin of Green River. Although the present paper deals mainly with that portion of Yampa River 2ast of Juniper Mountain, the conclusions reached are believed to have a definite bearing on the Green River problem itself. The paper is introduced by a brief discussion of the structural features of the region east of the Uinta Mountains, for a clear understanding of the relation of the minor uplifts to the great Uinta fold will better enable the reader to appreciate the possible bearing which the writer's conclusions may have in the solution of that problem. The main range of the Uinta Mountain::; is a broad, .flat-topped anticline, which has an easterly trend and a length of over 150 miles and which separates the Green River Basin on the north from the Uinta Basin on the south. The conspicuous portion of the Uinta fold terminates in northwestern Colorado, but along the continuation of its axis to the east lies a long, gentle anticline which reaches the foothills of the Park Range. This anticline was called by ·White 1 "the inceptive portion of the Uinta fold." The axis of the anticline is coincident with the low, broad valley known as Axial Basin, and in a recent report Gale 2 refers to it as .

  • Constraining the Timing of River Incision in the Upper Colorado Drainage Basin Using Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronology in the Elk Mountains, Western Colorado
    Constraining the Timing of River Incision in the Upper Colorado Drainage Basin Using Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronology in the Elk Mountains, Western Colorado Coleman Hiett Department of Geological Sciences University of Colorado, Boulder Departmental Honors Thesis April 10, 2017 Thesis Advisor: Lon Abbott, Department of Geological Sciences Defense Committee Members: Charles Stern, Department of Geological Sciences Lisa Barlow, Baker Residential Academic Program ABSTRACT This study utilizes apatite (U-Th)/He, or AHe, to produce a vertical transect of cooling histories along the height of the partially exhumed Crystal Pluton in the Elk Mountains of west/central Colorado. These cooling histories are interpreted to reflect exhumation controlled by the incision of the Crystal River – a tributary of the Colorado River. A period of rapid exhumation is observed from 8 – 11 Ma, likely beginning earlier, that is consistent with previous AHe data taken from nearby exhumed plutons in the Elk and northern West Elk Mountains. This period of exhumation predates the incision of a low relief surface that developed in northwestern Colorado by ca. 10 Ma, and is therefore not believed to have been controlled by the incision of the Colorado River. A review of previously noted incision constraints suggests that post-10 Ma Colorado River incision has become more rapid in the last 1 – 3 Ma, suggesting that climate change, rather than epeirogenic uplift, is the major driver for recent river incision. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Concerns of the Colorado River For more than a century, geologists have struggled to better understand the geologic evolution of the western United States.
