Geologic Map and Structural Analysis of the Twin Rocks 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, Wayne County, Utah
… structural geology of the backlimb of the Miners Mountain uplift. Nine bedrock stratigraphic formations and eight types of Quaternary deposits were mapped throughout the quadrangle. Bedrock stratigraphy ranges in age from Permian to Jurassic. New details absent on previous geologic maps include …

Implications of the Late Quaternary Glacio–Eustatic Sea level Changes in the Black Sea Catchment Area
… in the Mediterranean area, cooling due to mountain uplift would cause the hydrologic cycle to shift towards drier conditions, while warming due to a changed sea-land distribution would cause a shift towards wet conditions. Comparing our results with global sea-level, it turned out that …

Basement and Cover Structural Analysis Along the Eagle River Gorge, Sawatch Range, Colorado
<p>The Sawatch Range within the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado exposes Paleoproterozoic basement and overlying Paleozoic sedimentary rocks with a complex history of ductile and brittle deformation.</p> <p>The goal of this study is to conduct analyses of brittle structures that occur in the …

Fluid flow and deformation history of the Denver basin, CO region: fluid inclusions, U-Pb geochronology and isotope geochemistry of calcite-filled fracture cements in the Niobrara Formation
… during wrench fault activity and Rocky Mountain uplift. Upward vertical migration of hydrothermal fluids may be the most suitable explanation of the Wattenberg field thermal anomaly. These results provide a robust history of deformation and associated fluid flow events that may be …

Geologic Map of the Golden Throne Quadrangle, Wayne and Garfield Counties, Utah
… most of the southern quarter of the Miners Mountain uplift. The crest of this southwest verging uplift is cut by the left-lateral strike-slip Teasdale Fault zone. Preparation of a cross-section through the axis of the uplift within the quadrangle has not permitted the use of usual faulting …

Facies patterns and controls on sedimentation in the Triassic Chinle formation of Northeast New Mexico
… deposits adjacent to the Ancestral Rocky Mountain uplift and perennial braided-stream deposits on the plains to the east. The two fluvial systems were contemporaneous with the ephemeral rivers existing as transverse tributaries to a perennial trunk system flowing from north to south. …

Hillslope erosion and weathering rates in Earth's most rapidly uplifting mountains
… forcing and for determining the degree to which mountains regulate biogeochemical cycles and global climate. Landslide erosion and soil production are the principle denudation processes in high-relief terrain, but quantitative estimates of landslide erosion on spatial and temporal scales relevant …

Reconstruction of the Late and Mid-Pleistocene climate and landscape history in SE-Central Europe - A paleopedological and geochemical multi-proxy approach in loess-paleosol studies.
… trend is proposed to be related to Pleistocene uplift of Eurasian mountain ranges. Changes in atmospheric circulation and rain shadow effects due to mountain uplift (Himalaya, Alps, Carpathians) would provide an explanation for the westward expansion of the Eurasian steppe belt into SE-Central …

Evolutionary perspectives on plant responses and sensitivity to environmental change
… colonization from lowland habitat in generating mountain diversity in Veronica. Further, the chapter explores the importance of niche adaptation and divergence in contributing to cladogenesis, and presents a general, conceptual model to understand how mountain diversity accumulates. Chapter 4 …
