Geology And Ore Deposits Of The Blackbird District Lemhi County, Idaho, Gary Lynn Purdue
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
This report is a supplement to the Geologic Map of the Blackbird district which forms the southeast quadrant of the 15-minute Blackbird Mountain quadrangle, located in the Salmon River Mountains in Lemhi County, east central Idaho. Ore deposits in the district were developed during the first half of the twentieth century, but mining has been hampered by low-grade ores and the small size of the mineralized zones.
Outcrops are poor in the district because of heavy soil cover and talus slopes. Precambrian sedimentary rocks are part of the Belt Supergroup and have been divided into nine units. Precambrian units mapped …

Geomorphology And Land Use Of A Tropical Wet-Dry Environment Santander, Columbia, Joseph Ray
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study deals with the Holocene environmental dynamics experienced by a seasonally wet-dry landscape of tropical Columbia. In light of a high ecological sensitivity, the study area is also analyzed as the resource of man. This is done by intensive study area reconnaissance, mapping, altimeter survey, and radiocarbon dating of fluvial landforms. Also, samples of soil, pasture, and water were collected for later study, and several interviews were completed with local residents.
The study area is a tropical lowland of northcentral Columbia at about 7 ½° north latitude. A maximum local relief about 600 m is maintained by a rather …
Chemical Components And Diffusion, John B. Brady
Chemical Components And Diffusion, John B. Brady
Geosciences: Faculty Publications
Chemical components for use in the description of a system involved in a diffusion process may be selected according to the same criteria followed in the selection of components for an equilibrium system. The various possible sets of components are not independent and may be interrelated through a component transformation. Actual components are preferred over nonvariable components, since they simplify descriptions and avoid theoretically nonmeasureable quantities. Two systems involved in an interdiffusion process may always be described using components that are actual components of both systems. For example, ternary reciprocal exchange of alkalis be tween alkali feldspars and dioctahedral alkali …

Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Rome Formation In East Tennessee, Nabil Fahmi Samman
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Rome Formation In East Tennessee, Nabil Fahmi Samman
Doctoral Dissertations
The late Early Cambrian Rome Formation is the oldest formation that is exposed widely across the Valley and Ridge Province. It is brought to the surface by major thrust faults, and in many cases is topographically the highest exposed formation; consequently, the bottom and the top of the Rome are usually missing. Nowhere is a complete section of the Rome formation exposed except in northeast Tennessee.
The Rome is a heterogeneous formation of red, maroon, brown and green colored sandstone, siltstone and shale and local beds of gray limestone and dolomite, all of which vary greatly in proportion and distribution …
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Mount Rogers Formation, Virginia, Kenneth Morris Blondeau
Sedimentation And Stratigraphy Of The Mount Rogers Formation, Virginia, Kenneth Morris Blondeau
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The Mount Rogers Formation of southwestern Virginia is a thick, upper Precambrian sequence of interbedded conglomeratic mudstones, rhythmically layered argillites, arkosic sandstones and conglomerates, polymict conglomerates, and associated rhyolitic and latitic flows and pyroclastics. The conglomeratic mudstone consists of unsorted, angular to sub rounded grains, ranging in size from silt up to boulders one meter in diameter, enclosed within a fine-grained hematitic matrix or cement. The rhythmically layered argillite is made up of thin, alternating couplets of light, very fine-grained sandstone or siltstone grading upward into dark red argillite. Many of the couplets contain "outsized" exotic clasts which penetrate and …

Evaporite Deposits Of The Central Namib Desert, Namibiba, Fred R. Cagle Jr.
Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs
The extensive evaporite deposits of the Namib desert occur in an area bounded by the Ugab River on the north and the Kuiseb River on the south. Smaller deposits which are concentrated on the coast occur north and south of these boundaries. The deposits occur as a blanket deposit up to 20 feet (6.1 meters) in thickness and extend inland for a distance of approximately 55 miles (90 km) and extend 110 miles (176 km) between the northern and southern boundaries. The deposits are composed mainly of gypsite, but there are two locations where anhydrite is the predominant form present. …
Some Aspects Of Geochemistry Of The Water And Sediment Of Bear Lake, Idaho-Utah, Richard H. Fuller
Some Aspects Of Geochemistry Of The Water And Sediment Of Bear Lake, Idaho-Utah, Richard H. Fuller
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Development by man through the last half century has caused a number of changes in Bear Lake. These changes include the diversion of Bear River water into Bear Lake, the pumping of lake water back into the river, and the building of breakwaters and other obstructions along the shore of Bear Lake.
The diversion of Bear River water into the lake has resulted in a yearly addition of an estimated 36,000 metric tons of calcium into the lake, which has caused the precipitation of an estimated minimum 90,000 metric tons of aragonite. The pumping of Bear Lake water back into …
