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

In the first two decades of the 21st century the Colorado River Basin suffered a prolonged drought. Remarkably this period turned out to be arguably the most innovative and collaborative in the basin's modern human history. This working paper reviews the major events of the period, highlights some o

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

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

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

"Introduction: For many years there has been great confusion in the nomenclature of Lupinus. Many authors have contributed numerous names as they interpreted the morphological variations. Since the work of Sereno Watson (1873) there has not been an attempt to make a monographic study of the perennia

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

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

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
