Uncompahgre fault geometry: A seismic, field, and gravity study near Nucla, Colorado, Paradox Basin, USA
Seismic, well, field and gravity data are used to further understand the Uncompahgre fault near Nucla, Colorado, Paradox Basin, USA. The data help explain the complex sedimen- tary and structural history associated with faulting and salt flowage along the eastern margin of the Paradox Basin. Near Nu
The aquatic insect communities of Holbrook Creek and Cochetopa Creek in Colorado.
The first objective for this problem in lieu of thesis project was to gather, identify to the lowest practical taxonomic level and organize all available aquatic insects collected from high altitude Colorado aquatic systems during the summers of 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2002 for the University of North
Lacustrine lithofacies, depositional processes, and diagenesis of the Uteland Butte Member, Green River Formation, eastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Precambrian geology of the northern Sangre De Cristo Range, Chaffee, Fremont, and Saguache counties, Colorado
Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks, Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, and Tertiary igneous and sedimentary rocks crop out in the northern Sangre de Cristo Range. Miocene (?) age normal faults, Late Cretaceous or Early Tertiary thrust faults, and Paleozoic (?) reverse faults have displaced Precambr
Reconnaissance geology of the Mississippian Leadville limestone and implications for mineralization controls, Fulford mining district, Eagle County, Colorado
Deserving of much appreciation are Russell K. Murphy, who assisted in navigating the rugged field terrain, and the E. C. Lorig family of Eagle, Colorado, whose friendship, generosity, and guidance were extremely valuable
Depositional setting and reservoir-scale architecture of sandstone bodies of the Green River Formation in Evacuation Creek, Dragon Quadrangle, eastern Uinta basin, Utah
The Green River Formation is an Eocene lacustrine deposit that is present in several Rocky Mountain basins.In the Uinta basin, the Green River Formation has produced large amounts of oil and gas from many fields, the largest being the Greater Altamont-Bluebell field in the northern margin of the bas
The Sequence Stratigraphy of the Chinle Formation in the Dinosaur National Monument Region, Utah and Colorado, USA
A Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Minnesota by Ryan Eric Erickson in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science, October 2007.
Multi‐decadal Stochastic Streamflow Projections and Application to Water Resources Decision Making in the Colorado River Basin
Effective water resources planning and management requires skillful decisions on multiyear or decadal timeframes. In basins such as the Colorado River Basin (CRB), streamflow is not stationary but exhibits variability that reflects teleconnections with large scale climate indices such as Atlantic Mu
Structural evolution of the Hamilton Creek-Dry Creek anticline and its relationship to the southeast termination of Paradox Valley, SW Colorado, The
The Pennsylvanian-Permian Paradox Basin is an asymmetrical basin on the Colorado Plateau (Figure 1.1) that has been studied for decades due to its unique geologic history and economic quantities of potash, petroleum, and minerals such as uranium, vanadium, radium, and copper. The basin has a complex
An Organizational Assessment for the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Park using Community Capital Frameworks
The Boys & Girls Clubs of South Park (BGCSP) is a youth service 501(c)3 serving Park County, Colorado. With over 60% of Park County?s workforce commuting to another county for employment the need for affordable out-of-school youth care is apparent, but the need for BGCSP goes further. These rural co
Skarn formation adjacent to the Whitehorn Stock, Chaffee County, Colorado
Paleozoic sediments in the Calumet Mining District were metamorphosed by emplacement of the Whltehorn Granodiorite and related sills during Late Cretaceous time producing metamorphic zonations. Carbonates in the Manitou Dolostone were metamorphosed to dolomite, tremolite and calcite assemblages. The
Effects of Haemoparsite Infection and Food Supplementation on a High Elevation Passerine Bird
Strong circumstantial evidence from laboratory and theoretical studies suggests that sublethal parasite burdens can influence host population dynamics whether acting alone or in conjunction with reduced food availability. The significance of these effects has rarely been examined in natural environm
Life Histories Behavior and Space Partitioning in Selected Species of Western North American Plecoptera
Five species of stoneflies (Zapada haysi, Plumiperla diversa, Taenionema pacificum, Isoperla petersoni, Arcynopteryx compacta) from the North Slope and Interior of Alaska were examined for seasonal patterns of emergence of adults and growth of nymphs. Generally growth was retarded during the winter
