Anorthositic sills of the southern Adirondack Mountains of New York state
… Moose Mountain Formations in the southern Adirondacks. The Wells Sill consists of a medium-grained gabbro forming the top and basal layers, and an inner core of anorthositic gabbro rimmed by a fine-grained chill margin called the Tenantville facies. The Speculator Sheet consists of gabbroic …

Changes in Diatom Assemblages in Adirondack (NY, USA) Reference Lakes Since Pre-Industrial Times
The vast majority of Adirondack lakes have been impacted since pre-industrial time through either regional (e.g. acidification) or local (e.g. fish stocking, liming, seepage of road salt, cultural eutrophication) environmental disturbances. Inferring changes related to climate are difficult due to …

Deposition and Fate of Atmospheric Mercury in Forested Landscapes of the Adirondack Park, NY
… mercury (Hg) to forested landscapes of the Adirondack region in Upstate New York. Despite the fact that forests are the dominant land cover in North America, there has been relatively little research on the deposition, transport, and fate of Hg within forested ecosystems. The objective of …

EFFECTS OF THERMAL STRESS ON SURVIVORSHIP OF BROOK TROUT (SALVELINUS FONTINALIS) IN ADIRONDACK LAKES
… study in three lakes in New York's Adirondack Park to estimate population parameters related to survival, abundance, detection probability and movement under contrasting thermal conditions. Results from candidate model set comparisons support the hypotheses that brook trout living in …

Phase equilibrium investigations of the Adirondack Class basalts from the Gusev plains, Gusev crater, Mars
Phase equilibrium experiments have been performed on a synthetic analog of the Gusev plains basalt composition from the Spirit landing site on Mars, determined by the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer on the Spirit Rover (Gellert et al., 2006; McSween et al., 2006). The near-liquidus phase …

Acidification and Climate Warming: Understanding the Impact of Multiple Anthropogenic Stressors on Adirondack (NY, USA) Lakes
Lakes in the Adirondack Park (NY, USA) are undergoing chemical recovery from acidification. There is now a pressing research need to define recovery targets for acid-impacted sites. Researchers attempting to designate such targets are hampered by two issues: 1) a lack of long-term monitoring data, …

Recent two-feldspar, Ti-in-biotite, and garnet-biotite geothermometry of the Frontenac terrane and Adirondack Lowlands, Grenville Province, Canada and the United States
… the assembly of the Middle Proterozoic Adirondack Mountains and surrounding regions is difficult due to high-grade metamorphism, igneous intrusions, faulting, erosion, and dense cover. A 2008/2009 Keck Geology Consortium Project devoted itself to collecting petrological and structural …

Spatial Patterns of Mercury in Atmospheric Deposition, Soils and Lake Biota in the Adirondack Park, New York
… source of Hg to most remote environments. The Adirondack Park in New York State of the United States receives moderate Hg deposition, and is a region characterized by relatively high concentrations of Hg in the terrestrial and especially aquatic biota. It is important to understand the …

Doing History in the Adirondacks: Interpreting the Park, the People, and the Landscape
… a large portion of Northern New York State, the Adirondack Park includes six million acres of public and private land that compromise over 85 % of all wilderness lands east of the Mississippi. Unique in many ways, the Adirondack Park remains a model for sustainable living and wilderness land …

Developing Critical Loads and Dynamic Critical Loads for Acidification for Watersheds in the Adirondack region of New York and Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GRSM)
… (PnET-BGC) was applied to 20 watersheds in the Adirondack region and 12 watersheds in Great Smoky Mountain National Park (GRSM) to calculate CLs and DCLs. I evaluated ecosystem changes in response to historical and potential future changes in acidic deposition. I analyzed factors affecting CLs …
