THE PACIFIC DECADAL PRECESSION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO TROPICAL PACIFIC DECADAL VARIABILITY IN CMIP6 MODELS
(2020-07-30)Persistent, multi-year shifts in atmospheric circulations and their associated influence on regional climates can have profound impacts on physical, biological, and socioeconomic systems. The Pacific Decadal Precession ... -
Pacifying the Tepehuanes from 1590 to 1642
(2017-12-15)In the sixteenth century, Spanish missionaries entered the northern frontier of Mexico in hopes of converting the “barbarous” native peoples of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Upon their arrival, they found a population of ... -
A PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOFIRE HISTORY FROM THE EARLY PLEISTOCENE OF UNAWEEP CANYON, NORTHWESTERN COLORADO
(2024-05)Lacustrine systems capture high-resolution records of continental climate, including information on paleotemperatures, hydroclimate, and paleofire activity. An increasing number of studies have reported paleoclimate and ... -
Paleoecology of the Moreno Hill Formation (Turonian-Coniacian, Cretaceous) of New Mexico
(2023)The Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution was a period of diversification of all major terrestrial groups that coincides with the rapid evolution and establishment of angiosperms (flowering plants) that began ~125 million years ... -
Paleoenvironment, Depositional History, and Process Sedimentology of the Upper Guadalupian Yates Formation: Northwest Shelf, New Mexico
(2020-12)A vertical and lateral outcrop of the late Guadalupian upper Yates Formation is observed along Dark Canyon Road in Eddy County, New Mexico. This outcrop has revealed cyclical, highly dynamic mixed carbonate and siliciclastic ... -
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the Woodford shale with primary focus on water column structure
(2015-05-09)Twenty-nine Woodford Shale rock samples were acquired from the Wyche-1 core derived from the Wyche Farm Shale Pit, Pontotoc County, Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma. The TOC (total organic carbon) values ranged from 3.47-16.90 wt.%, ... -
PALEOMAGNETIC ANALYSIS OF THE FLYNN CREEK AND WELLS CREEK IMPACT STRUCTURES, TENNESSEE, U.S.A.
(2019)The Flynn Creek impact structure consists of a 3.8-km circular feature that contains deformed Ordovician through Devonian limestones and dolomites. The age of this structure is stratigraphically constrained by the ... -
A PALEOMAGNETIC AND DIAGENETIC STUDY OF THE KENTLAND IMPACT CRATER
(2019-05-10)A paleomagnetic and petrographic study of host carbonate rocks and impact breccias at the Kentland impact structure was conducted to better constrain the timing of the impact and to better understand the and diagenetic ... -
A PALEOMAGNETIC AND PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF UNCONFORMITY SURFACES IN NEVADA AND MISSOURI: POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS FOR PALEOWEATHERING PROCESSES
(2017-08)Paleomagnetic dating has proven to be a valuable tool in dating geologically significant events such as timing of deposition, deformation, or diagenesis. When combined with petrographic methods and field relationships, we ... -
Paleomagnetic and petrological investigation of Long Mountain Granite, Wichita Mountains, Oklahoma
(2011)The Long Mountain Granite, a member of the Cambrian- aged Wichita Granite Group, is exposed in the western Wichita Mountains. The rock is red at the surface which grades into a dark gray to green core that has been exposed ... -
Paleomagnetic dating of burial diagenesis in Mississippian carbonates, Utah
(2003)The objective of this study is to test models for the origin of widespread remagnetizations in the Mississippian Deseret Limestone. The Delle Phosphatic Member of the Deseret Limestone is a source rock for hydrocarbons ... -
Palynology of the Upper Flowerpot Formation, Mangum Area, Southwestern Oklahoma
(2022-05-01)My study examines the plant palynomorphs recovered from a new section of the uppermost Flowerpot Formation of middle Permian age in southwestern Oklahoma. My goal is to document the species diversity and abundance of plant ... -
