Late Holocene Toolstone Procurement and Land-Use Strategies in the Black Rock Desert and High Rock Country of Northwest Nevada
(2013)
This thesis tests current interpretations of Late Holocene (5,000 cal BP to present) archaeology for the Black Rock Desert and High Rock Country (BRD/HRC) through an assessment of the toolstone procurement and land-use ...
Development and Application of AVO Methods and Seismic Attribute Analysis for Characterization of the San Emidio Geothermal Reservoir, Northwestern Nevada
(2015)
Geothermal fields in the Basin and Range province are commonly found in highly faulted and fractured subsurface zones that provide the necessary permeability for vertical fluid flow. This study utilizes a 2D seismic ...
Paleozoic Stratigraphy and Structure at Iron Point, Humboldt County, North-Central Nevada
(2015)
Detailed mapping and reconsideration of biostratigraphic data provide new insights into how the Comus Formation at its type locality at Iron Point, Humboldt County, Nevada fits into the regional stratigraphic framework. ...
Pilot Study using Elemental Geochemistry as a Means of Discriminating Chert Stratigraphy in the Roberts Mountains Allochthon, Nevada
(2016)
Biogenic chert beds in the Roberts Mountain Allochthon (RMA) are analyzed for major and trace element geochemistry with the goal of developing a geochemical means to differentiate units. This detailed chemical profile will ...
Mining the Past: Using Arrastras as Evidence of Mexican Mining Activity in Early Nevada
(2015)
Why are Mexican miners absent from Nevada’s historical record? Legends of lost Spanish mines abound, and Hispanic place names dapple the state, but the stories of Hispanic miners themselves are missing from Nevada histories. ...
Characterization of colloids found in various groundwater environments in central and southern Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1989)
Colloid concentration and composition were determined and compared for twenty-three groundwater samples collected in central and southern Nevada.
Quaternary evolution of the Klondike Canyon alluvial fan: implications to climatic, tectonic, and base level controls on alluvial fan development
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1995)
Climate change, tectonic activity, and base level alterations are considered controls on alluvial fan evolution, but varying conclusions exist on their relative importance. The purpose of this study is to define the roles ...
A geostatistical and multivariate statistical analysis of rock and soil geochemical data associated with mineralization in Tertiary volcanics in west central Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1992)
A geochemical analysis was applied to rock and soil samples collected within the Gillis Range, southeast of Hawthorn, Nevada. Testing was conducted to detect minute amounts of trace elements such as gold, silver, arsenic, ...
Investigation of casual factors influencing mercury concentraions in fish tissues in five Nevada reservoirs
(2011)
Mercury (Hg) concentrations in fish are of widespread concern due to human health risks. Recent data compiled by the Nevada Department of Wildlife showed Hg concentrations in fish muscle tissue that exceeded the human ...
The effect of thiobacillus ferrooxidans on argentite, stibnite, and a stibnite-silver ore
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1975)
Experiments were performed to determine the usefulness of Thiobacillus terrooxidans in treating silver sulfide ores and silver bearing antimony sulfide ores. Tests were conducted on artificial silver sulfide, artificial ...
