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, ...
Geology, economic geochemistry, and placer gold resources of the western Clearwater Mountains, east central Alaska
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1971)
Metamorphosed bedrock underlying the western Clearwater Mountains comprises two main rock sequences — a thick section of low grade meta- basalts of Triassic age, and an overlying pelitic succession, zonational from prehnite- ...
The hydrogeochemistry and aqueous uranium distribution of Petersen Mountain and Red Rock Valley, Washoe County, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1983)
The chemical characteristics of water from Peterson Mountain and Red Rock Valley result from dissolution and reflect the composition of the Sierra Nevada type crystalline rocks. Background and anomalous uranium limits in ...
Geology of the eastern portion of the Indian Wells Canyon mining district, Kern County, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1981)
Metamorphic and metasomatic alteration of fine grained Mesozoic carbonate sediments by a late Cretaceous granodiorite has produced a series of small calc-silicate skarns, most containing tungsten mineralization, in the ...
Quaternary tectonism and surface faulting in the Owens Lake Basin, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1969)
Shorelines, surface fault scarps, and fissures in the Owens Lake Basin have been examined in detail to determine the Quaternary tectonic history.
Comparison of deterministic, probabilistic, and rock mass classification methods of slope stability analysis at Bald Mountain Mine, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1990)
A detailed analysis was performed on the pit walls at Bald Mountain Mine, Nevada to evaluate the stability of the designed slopes. The slopes stability was assessed through the use of both probabilistic and deterministic ...
Tritium movement in the unsaturated zone, Nevada Test Site
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1978)
Tritum movement in three different geomorphic settings was investigated at the Nevada Test Site. Two hundred soil samples were collected from high fan, mid fan and playa sediments in Yucca and Frenchman Flats.
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.
Engineering and economic factors affecting the cost of railroad ballast
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1990)
This thesis presents results of a ballast study funded by Southern Pacific Transportation Company. The project includes an evaluation of quarry operation, physical and chemical tests on ballast aggregates, and an evaluation ...
Geology of the Buckskin mine, Douglas County, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1987)
The Buckskin Mine, developed on a quartz-chlorite-sulfide-gold vein, is hosted by altered meta-andesite and rhyolite porphyry. The vein may have formed in Late Cretaceous time.
