    Lidar and Other Evidence for the Southwest Continuation and Late Quaternary Reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a Cr

    LIDAR and other evidence for the southwest continuation and Late Quaternary reactivation of the Norumbega Fault System and a cross-cutting structure near Biddeford, Maine, USA Ronald T . Marple1 and James D. Hurd, Jr .2 1. 403 Wickersham Avenue, Fort Benning, Georgia 31905, USA 2. Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, The University of Connecticut, 1376 Storrs Road, Storrs, Connecticut 06269-4087, USA Corresponding author <[email protected]> Date received: 14 April 2019 ¶ Date accepted: 01 September 2019 ABSTRACT High-resolution LiDAR (light detection and ranging) images reveal numerous NE-SW-trending geomorphic lineaments that may represent the southwest continuation of the Norumbega fault system (NFS) along a broad, 30- to 50-km-wide zone of brittle faults that continues at least 100 km across southern Maine and southeastern New Hampshire. These lineaments are characterized by linear depressions and valleys, linear drainage patterns, abrupt bends in rivers, and linear scarps. The Nonesuch River, South Portland, and Mackworth faults of the NFS appear to continue up to 100 km southwest of the Saco River along prominent but discontinuous LiDAR lineaments. Southeast-facing scarps that cross drumlins along some of the lineaments in southern Maine suggest that late Quaternary displacements have occurred along these lineaments. Several NW-SE-trending geomorphic features and geophysical lineaments near Biddeford, Maine, may represent a 30-km-long, NW-SE-trending structure that crosses part of the NFS. Brittle NW- SE-trending, pre-Triassic faults in the Kittery Formation at Biddeford Pool, Maine, support this hypothesis. RÉSUMÉ Des images haute résolution prises par LiDAR (détection et télémétrie par ondes lumineuses) dévoilent de nombreux linéaments orientés du NE vers le SO qui pourraient représenter la continuité au sud-ouest du système de failles de Norumbega (SFN) le long d’une vaste zone de 30 à 50 km de largeur de failles cassantes qui se poursuit sur au moins 100 km à travers le sud du Maine et le sud-est du New Hampshire.

This guide has been updated from the former York County Physical Activity Resource Guide from 2015. YDPHC is a representative, district-wide body formed in partnership with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (MeCDC) to engage in collaborative planning and decision-making for the delivery of the Ten Essential Public Health Services in the York Public Health District. The York Public Health District includes all communities in York County. Our mission is to promote, improve, sustain, and advocate for the delivery of the essential public health services in York County. We recognize that this guide does not represent ALL the activities available to residents of York County. We aim to highlight free and public resources available to all. Many other options are available for your wellness needs. We encourage you to let us know if there is something that we missed. Our hope is that this resource guide will be useful to you and encourage physical activity among all members of your family. Use this guide only as intended - as a guide. As with any physical activity, there may be risks associated. Work within your own limits. It is your responsibility to determine if a new activity is right for you and your family.

    Aspinquid and Tammany

    The Uncertaintist November 30, 2016 http://uncertaintist.wordpress.com I. Aspinquid Early newspaper texts related to Aspinquid, Nova Scotia 1770's Here are four items in the Halifax Gazette (an overall title for a series of newpapers printed by Anthony Henry in the latter 1700's under several different titles). In the transcripts, spelling has been modernized and Americanized. Spelling of Native names, insofar as I could decipher them, have been left character-for-character as I found them. Capitalization, paragraphing and punctuation have been modified for ease of reading. Some words were indecipherable, and what I could make of them was placed in square brackets, [ ... ]. Some Native names are plainly not real names, and are apparently parodies. Lengthy instances of these have also been placed in square brackets. Square brackets are also used for pointers to notes and to modern synonyms for some archaic words. It was only possible to search those issues of the paper which still exist and have made their way online. There may have been other years' feasts which were covered. Following is a table of what was checked. "No" means the issue preceding and the issue following the calculated feast date, as presented online, were found to contain no Aspinquid story. The table also shows whether the Nova Scotia Calender (sic), an almanac with the same printer as the Gazette, told St Aspinquid's day for the year.
