  • Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona
    Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona Julia K. Johnson, Stephen J. Reynolds, and David A. Jones Arizona Geological Survey Contributed Map 04-A Tucson, AZ 2003 Introduction The Phoenix Mountains, located within the Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona, are a northwest-trending, uplifted fault block that extends for about 13 km (8 miles) from Moon Hill in the northwest to Camelback Mountain in the southeast (Fig. 1). The area includes a main range, with 420 m (1,378 ft) of local relief, as well as several isolated peaks. The geologic mapping for this study covers the main part of the range, including (from northwest to southeast) Moon Hill, Shaw Butte, North Mountain, Stoney Mountain, Dreamy Draw, Squaw Peak, and the informally named Quartzite Ridge. The main goals of this study were to document the bedrock geology, reconstruct the geologic history, and produce a 1:24,000 geologic map of the range. The area contains a remarkable stratigraphic sequence that records the formation of continental crust in the region as it evolved from an oceanic setting to a more continental setting. The rocks have been cleaved and steeply tilted, providing a well-exposed traverse through this exceptional sequence. The range also contains spectacular Proterozoic (Precambrian) structures, which document the extreme deformation that affected the crust soon after it had formed. Lookout Moon Mtn.

  • THE BASIC SOCIAL PROCESSES of WOMEN in the MILITARY Manda V. Hicks a Dissertation Submitted T
    NEGOTIATING GENDERED EXPECTATIONS: THE BASIC SOCIAL PROCESSES OF WOMEN IN THE MILITARY Manda V. Hicks A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2011 Committee: Sandra Faulkner, Advisor Melissa K. Miller, Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Gorsevski Linda Dixon Vikki Krane ii ABSTRACT Sandra L. Faulkner, Advisor This research identifies the basic social processes for women in the military. Using grounded theory and feminist standpoint theories, I interviewed 38 active-duty and veteran service women. Feminist standpoint theories argue that within an institution, people who are the minority, oppressed, or disenfranchised will have a greater understanding of the institution than those who are privileged by it. Based on this understanding of feminist standpoint theories, this research argues that female service members will have a more expansive and diverse understanding of gender and military culture than male service members. I encouraged women to tell the story of their military experience and used analysis of narrative to identify the core categories of joining, learning, progressing, enduring, and ending. For women service members, the core variable of negotiating gendered expectations occurred throughout the basic social processes and primarily involved life choices, abilities, and sexual agency. This research serves as a forum for the lived experience of women in the military; through these articulations a set of particular standpoints regarding gender, war, and military culture emerge. Additionally, these data offer useful approaches to operating within male- dominated institutions and provide productive strategies for avoiding and challenging discrimination, harassment, and assault.
