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- ...
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.
Quaternary tectonic deformation and seismic hazard in the Casmalia Range, coastal south-central California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1993)
A suite of Quaternary stratigraphic units and geomorphic surfaces on the margins of the Casmalia Range allow assessment of the style and rate of range uplift, the presence or absence of active folding, and the style and ...
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 ...
Remote sensing analysis of southern Walker Lane
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1986)
A comprehensive analysis of Landsat 4 and 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery, and topographic, geologic, and aeromagnetic maps demonstrates that the Walker Lane is a continuous feature through the southwestern Nevada volcanic ...
Quaternary geology and tectonics of the Waucoba Wash 15-minute Quadrangle, Saline Valley, Inyo County, California
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1980)
Quaternary geology and tectonics of the Waucoba Wash area, located in Saline Valley, California, have been studied. Analysis of faults and shear zones indicates that the area is dominated by a conjugate fracture set. Saline ...
Stratigraphy, structure, geophysics, and water chemistry of the Jersey Valley area, Pershing and Lander Counties, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1981)
The stratigraphy, structure, geophysics, and water chemistry of the Jersey Valley area have been studied. Photogeologic interpretation indicate faults forming grabens within Jersey Valley. Maximum subsurface temperature ...
Quaternary and environmental geology of Lemmon Valley, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1978)
Over 1000 vertical feet of loose to weakly consolidated Tertiary and Quaternary sediments occupy the closed Lemmon Valley basin. Mountains comprising Mesozoic granitic and metavolcanic rocks border the valley. Fourteen ...
Stratigraphy and structure of the Sou Hills, Pershing County, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1981)
The stratigraphy and structure of the Sou Hills of Pershing County, Nevada, have been studied. Upper Triassic sedimentary rocks of the Winnemucca Formation are the oldest rocks exposed in the area and are intruded by a ...
Hydrothermal alteration in two deep exploratory wells in Dixie Valley, Nevada
(University of Nevada, Reno, 1980)
Local concentrations of kaolinite characterize fissures, which are actively conducting hydrothermal fluids in Dixie Valley.
