The goal of the cooperative U.S. Geological Survey/National Park Service (USGS/NPS) geologic mapping project is to produce several 1:100,000-scale digital geologic maps of this region to provide connectivity for the regional geological framework of the southwestern Colorado Plateau and eastern ...
Arizona is divided roughly equally between the Colorado Plateau in the north and the Basin and Range province in the south. (more below) The Colorado Plateau displays great expanses of flat-lying bedrock dating from the late Paleozoic Era through the Late Cretaceous Epoch. (Specifically, dark ...
Does dust matter? Geologic and eolian controls over ecosystem dynamics on the Colorado PlateauNeff, Jason CReynolds, RichardLamothe, Paul JMoscato, SilvinaBelnap, Jayne
Later, Dutton undertook studies in volcanic geology in Hawaii, the Cascades and on the Colorado Plateau. Dutton studied the effects of the catastrophic Charleston Earthquake of 31 August 1886, and later engaged in irrigation research in the West. He critically reviewed many major geologic concepts,...
I am chugging up this last hill, jarring large basalt rocks pop my truck back and forth and at the crest of the hill one of the most beautiful desert formations I have ever seen. I see Red Bluff, the Owyhee River, and the crazy outcrops of the mineral-rich mountains surrounding Leslie...
Analysis of primary sealing lithologies at the study site suggests that the lower Triassic section, Amsden Formation, and upper part of the Madison Limestone can confine injected CO2. Analyses of the sealing formations established that porosity is lower than 4.6 % and micropores are dominant, pe...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG), can be reduced by CO2 capture and storage (CCS). This strategy is applicable to many large stationary sources including power generation plants, oil and gas refinery,
Volcanism spread across the Southern Rocky Mountain-Colorado Plateau boundary as the subducted slab steepened and sank. The earliest calderas (37-33 Ma, central Colorado; 29 Ma, San Juan field; 36-32 Ma, Mogollon-Datil field) formed along the west edge of the incipient Rio Grande rift; ...

In addition to this western science geologic knowledge, this thesis also integrates the traditional cultural perspectives of a trained geologist who is a member of Acoma Pueblo. Thus, in describing/recognizing geologic formations we also draw on the cultural knowledge a tribal member has of the ...
