Geology and geochemistry of the Almanor and Glidden barite deposits, northern California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1984)
The Almanor and Glidden bedded barite deposits are at the northern end of a 700 km long "California barite belt", and are associated with siliceous sediments and volcanic arc derived rocks of Devonian (?) and middle Devonian ...
Eruptive history and geochemistry of the Little Walker volcanic center, east central California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1974)
The Little Walker Volcanic Center, located 11 miles WNW of Bridgeport, California, was the site of intense latitic and calc-alkaline volcanism about 10 to 7.2 m. y. ago. Latitic volcanism commenced with eruption of the ...
Petrochemical affiliations of volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits of the Foothill Cu-Zn belt, Sierra Nevada, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1982)
The geology and petrology of the Foothill copper-zinc belt, located in the Sierra Nevada, was studied.
Remote sensing and geomorphic studies for seismotectonic analysis, Santa Maria Basin, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1989)
Remote sensing and geomorphology were used to define active tectonics in the Santa Maria Basin of California. Examination of imagery and aerial photography revealed major lineaments and active-appearing rangefronts.
Seismic hazard within the greater San Francisco Bay region: A reevaluation after the Loma Prieta Earthquake
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1992)
Hazard maps for the San Francisco Bay region have been reconstructed to examine the effects of the crustal stress release associated with the Loma Prieta earthquake and new evidence of slip rates and paleoearthquake histories ...
Climate, Fire, and Native Americans: Identifying Forces of Paleoenvironmental Change in the Southern Sierra Nevada, California
(2016)
Humans have altered landscapes across North America for millennia, changing vegetation composition and fire frequency through clearing land, grazing livestock, and fire suppression (Anderson and Moratto, 1996; Beaton, 1991; ...
The Quaternary History of Mohawk Valley, Northeastern California
(2013)
Mohawk Valley is an inter montane basin with a rich Quaternary record, located at the northernmost end of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in northeastern California. Geologic mapping of surficial deposits, stratigraphy, ...
Magmatic interaction in the Crystal Range suite, northern Sierra Nevada batholith, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1992)
The approximately 225-km2 Desolation study area lies at the northern end of the Sierra Nevada batholith, southwest of Lake Tahoe. The area is underlain by early- to middle-Jurassic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks ...
Tectonic geomorphology and neotectonics of the San Luis Range, San Luis Obispo County, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1988)
This thesis documents the neotectonic setting of the San Luis Range, in San Luis Obispo County, California. The N60W-trending San Luis Range is bound by reverse faults which have uplifted the range. The Los Osos fault forms ...
Geology, alteration, and mineralization at the Western World Lakes Cu-Zn prospect, Yuba County, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1987)
The Lower Volcanic Unit of the Jurassic aged Smartville Complex hosts the Western World Lakes massive sulfide deposit and other mineral prospects. The complex is a sequence of volcanoclastic sediments, pillowed lavas, ...
