Transmission Reconnaissance Study : Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project, United States Department Of Interior
Dickey-Lincoln School Lakes Project
Two dams are proposed on the St. John River in northern Maine: Dickey, a high earth filled dam immediately above the confluence of the Allagash with the St. John, will have an installed generating capacity of 760 MW; and Lincoln School Dam, 11 miles downstream, a capacity of 70 MW. These dams are scheduled for completion during the mid 1980's. The U.S. Corps of Engineers, New England Division, has been allocated funds to design the project and prepare their own environmental impact statement. This report (Transmission Reconnaissance Studies) discusses alternative transmission facilities needed to connect the project with the New …
Stratigraphy, Depositional Environment And Structure Of The Taconic Allochthon, Central Washington County, New York, Louise D. Jacobi
Stratigraphy, Depositional Environment And Structure Of The Taconic Allochthon, Central Washington County, New York, Louise D. Jacobi
Geology Theses and Dissertations
The Taconic Allochthon contains rocks of Cambrian (?), Cambrian and Ordovician age. It measures approximately 200 kilometers by 25 kilometers and is located in contiguous sections of New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. The rocks are predominantly slates with lesser amounts of arenites, wackes, limestone, chert, and conglomerates. All have been subjected to chlorite or biotite grade metamorphism and two tectonic deformations. The study area in central Washington County, New York, contains most of the Taconic sequence, and because of both natural and man-made exposure it is more accessible than most other locations. A lithostratigraphic column has been identified which …
Geology Of The Northern Lewis Hills, Western Newfoundland, Jeffrey Alan Karson
Geology Of The Northern Lewis Hills, Western Newfoundland, Jeffrey Alan Karson
Geology Theses and Dissertations
The Lewis Hills is the southernmost of the four Bay of Islands Ophiolite Complex massifs. These massifs are considered to be the dissected remnants of a once nearly continuous thrust slice of oceanic crust and upper mantle of Early Ordovician age. The Lewis Hills Massif may be divided into three north south trending zones. The eastern zone (Bay of Islands Complex) is composed of variably deformed and recrystallized gabbro, troctolite, wehrlite and dunite cumulates and harzburgite tectonites. The western zone (Little Port Assemblage) consists of greenschist facies metagabbros, diabase dikes and minor quartz-diorite bodies. The central zone (Mount Barren Assemblage) …
Geologic Factors Influencing Speleogenesis In The Capitan Reef Complex, New Mexico And Texas, David Henry Jagnow
Geologic Factors Influencing Speleogenesis In The Capitan Reef Complex, New Mexico And Texas, David Henry Jagnow
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The purpose of this thesis is to determine the geologic factors that have influenced speleogenesis (origin of caves) in the Capitan reef complex (Permian) exposed along the northeast prong of the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico and Texas. This study of 52 caves included mapping caves, joints, and cross sections, determining stratigraphic position, generating joint rose diagrams, and photographing the geologic and hydrologic controls on speleogenesis.
Most Guadalupe caves are strongly controlled by vertical joints that parallel or are nearly perpendicular to the reef escarpment. East of Rattlesnake Canyon, caves generally develop along joint swarms that parallel the reef escarpment; …

Hydrology And Water Quality In The Central Kentucky Karst: Phase 1, James F. Quinlan, Donald R. Rowe
KWRRI Research Reports
Study of springs and cave streams has shown that heavy metal-rich effluent from a wastewater treatment plant can be traced to Hidden River Cave (beneath the city of Horse Cave) and thence 4 to 5 miles north to a group of 39 springs at 14 locations along a 5-mile reach of Green River. Nickel, chromium, copper and zinc in these effluent-bearing springs are in concentrations of as much as 30 times greater than other springs upstream and downstream from this reach, 20 times greater than the Green River, and 60 times greater than in shallow domestic wells between Horse Cave …
Volcanology And Geochemistry Of The South Flank Of Mount Baker, Cascade Range, Washington, Douglas Mckeever
Volcanology And Geochemistry Of The South Flank Of Mount Baker, Cascade Range, Washington, Douglas Mckeever
WWU Graduate School Collection
Major element chemical analysis of 97 rocks from the south side of Mount Baker was performed by energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence. Conclusions based on chemistry are:
1) Variation diagrams based on a large number of samples show that variation is not continuous nor, in general, smooth. Rocks from two major stratigraphic positions exhibit compositional coherency within each group and are interpreted as eruptive groups which were extruded over time intervals which were short compared to the lifetime of the volcanic center. The older of the two groups is called the Park Butte phase, and the younger is the Koma Kulshan …

Petrology Of The Crystalline Rocks Of Vedder Mountain, British Columbia, Mitchell L. Bernardi
Petrology Of The Crystalline Rocks Of Vedder Mountain, British Columbia, Mitchell L. Bernardi
WWU Graduate School Collection
Vedder Mountain lies in Washington state and British Columbia on the western flank of the North Cascades. Metamorphic rocks, which comprise most of the western half of the mountain, can be divided into two separate and distinct units. The southern unit is composed of foliated and non-foliated hornblende-plagioclase gabbro with minor serpentinite and pyroxenite. Most of the gabbroic rocks are sheared and altered and exhibit a lower greenschist facies metamorphism overprinted by a subsequent prehnite-pumpellyite facies metamorphism. Whole-rock chemical analyses of the gabbros plot in and near the fields defined by oceanic gabbro (Engel and Fisher, 1969; Miyashiro et al, …

Lower Mississippian Sedimentation In Northwestern Montana, Forest E. Haines
Doctoral Dissertations
"Thirty-three measured sections, nine with thin sections and insoluble residues, were studied to determine the depositional history of the Allan Mountain Limestone and the lower member of the Castle Reef Dolomite of the Madison Group in northwestern Montana.
The Allan Mountain base is a fossiliferous limestone, herein named the Brownback Gulch Member, which thickens and becomes cherty to the southwest where the section at Lone Butte resembles that of the Bridger Range Waulsortian-type reefs. A crinoidal lag deposit marks a dis- conformity at the top. In the overlying silty limestone member a thin black shale (Unit 1) grades into normal …

Petrology And Major Element Geochemistry Of Albite Granite Near Sparta, Oregon, Robert Brayton Almy Iii
Petrology And Major Element Geochemistry Of Albite Granite Near Sparta, Oregon, Robert Brayton Almy Iii
WWU Graduate School Collection
Albite granite near Sparta, Oregon occurs in an igneous complex containing serpentinite, gabbro, diorite, tonalite and granite with overlying keratophyric and spilitic volcanic rocks. This igneous suite is overlain by Triassic limestones of reef origin. In all the igneous rocks primary hypidiomorphic and porphyritic textures predominate but a metamorphic overprint of the prehnite-pumpellyite facies is widespread. Whole rock chemical analyses show that albite granite has relatively high Si02 (69-81%) and Na20 (4-7%) and low K2O (0.1-1%). Rare plagioclase potassium-feldspar granite contains up to 3.6% K2O.
Although local isochemical alteration is demonstrable and local …
Geology And Mineral Deposits Of The Southwest Quarter Of The Tanacross D-1 Quadrangle, Alaska, Roger Douglas Gill
Geology And Mineral Deposits Of The Southwest Quarter Of The Tanacross D-1 Quadrangle, Alaska, Roger Douglas Gill
WWU Graduate School Collection
The study area is in the northeast corner of the Tanacross quadrangle, east-central Alaska. Known as the Interior Porphyry belt, it lies between the Tintina fault to the north and the Denali fault to the south. Seven major porphyry copper-type deposits have been found within the belt since I969. Because much of the belt was unglaciated during Pleistocene time, the probability of finding a zone of supergene enrichment is enhanced. In Alaska a porphyry copper-type deposit with a supergene zone may improve the current economic status by helping to facilitate amortization of production capital costs.
The rocks within the study …
Geology Of The Al-Khums Area Northwestern Libya With Emphasis On The Stratigraphy And Biostratigraphy Of The Al-Khums Formation, Mostafa Juma Salem
Geology Of The Al-Khums Area Northwestern Libya With Emphasis On The Stratigraphy And Biostratigraphy Of The Al-Khums Formation, Mostafa Juma Salem
Doctoral Dissertations
"The dissertation represents a geologic study of an area bordering the Mediterranean Sea in northwestern Libya. About 1200 km2 were mapped and 28 stratigraphic sections were prepared.
The bedrock consists of 16 stratigraphic units of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age having a combined maximum thickness of about 750 meters. The oldest unit exposed, the Abu Shaybah Formation, is a redbed sequence of Triassic and Jurassic age. These beds are unconformably separated from Cretaceous carbonates (Garian Limestone, Ain Tobi Formation, and Gezzar Dolomite). These units in turn are overlain by the Miocene Al-Khums Formation. Younger Quaternary units consist of nearshore marine …
Geology Of The Southern Half Of The Stoutland, Missouri Quadrangle, Chester Encell Nichols
Geology Of The Southern Half Of The Stoutland, Missouri Quadrangle, Chester Encell Nichols
Doctoral Dissertations
"The dissertation area lies on the western flank of the Ozark uplift between Lebanon and Camdenton, Missouri. In the northwestern corner of the study area a portion of the Decaturville cryptoexplosive structure is exposed. The dominant structure outside the disturbed zone is a northwest-trending asymmetrical anticline with a subsidiary normal fault dipping southwest on the steeper southwest limb.
The area is mapped in considerable detail in order to describe subtle structural features. To overcome a problem of poor exposures, new key beds are defined which greatly increase structural control. Significant structures recognized as a result are the Dry Auglaize anticline, …
The Geology Of The Searchlight Mining District, Clark County, Nevada, John Stewart Bown
The Geology Of The Searchlight Mining District, Clark County, Nevada, John Stewart Bown
Masters Theses
"The general area of the Searchlight mining district has been the object of various studies by geologists since 1861. The Searchlight district is located in southern Clark County, Nevada in the eastern part of the Mojave Desert at the southern end of the Eldorado Mountains. Southern Clark County is characterized by a lack of Paleozoic and Mesozoic rocks. A Precambrian complex of rocks mostly gneiss in the southwest corner of the district is non-conformably overlain by Tertiary extrusive rocks about 8,500 feet (2,590 meters) thick consisting of andesite, basalt, rhyolite, and pyroclastics. Both the gneiss and volcanic assemblage were intruded …
