Isotopic, geochemical, and temporal characterization of Proterozoic basement rocks in the Quitovac region, northwestern Sonora, Mexico: Implications for the reconstruction of the southwestern margin of Laurentia Isotopic, geochemical, and temporal characterization of Proterozoic basement rocks in the Quitovac region, northwestern Sonora, Mexico: Implications for the reconstruction of the southwestern margin of Laurentia
A detailed geochemical characterization of 19 representative Proterozoic basement rocks in the Quitovac region in northwestern Sonora, Mexico, has identified two distinct Paleoproterozoic basement blocks that coincide spatially with the previously proposed Caborca and "North America" blocks. New U-Pb zircon geochronology revises their age ranges, the Caborca (1.78-1.69 Ga) and "North...

Use of naturally occurring mercury to determine the importance of cutthroat trout to Yellowstone grizzly bears Use of naturally occurring mercury to determine the importance of cutthroat trout to Yellowstone grizzly bears
Spawning cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki (Richardson, 1836)) are a potentially important food resource for grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis Ord, 1815) in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We developed a method to estimate the amount of cutthroat trout ingested by grizzly bears living in the Yellowstone Lake area. The method utilized (i) the relatively high, naturally...

Late Quaternary glaciation of the Upper Soca River Region (Southern Julian Alps, NW Slovenia) Late Quaternary glaciation of the Upper Soca River Region (Southern Julian Alps, NW Slovenia)
Extent of Late Quaternary glaciers in the Upper Soc??a River Region (Southern Julian Alps, SE Europe) has been analyzed using a combination of geological mapping, glaciological modeling, and sediment dating (radiocarbon, U/Th series and Infrared Stimulated Luminescence-IRSL). Field investigations focused mainly on relatively well preserved Quaternary sequences in the Bovec Basin, an...

Quaternary vegetation and climate change in the western United States: Developments, perspectives, and prospects Quaternary vegetation and climate change in the western United States: Developments, perspectives, and prospects
This chapter explores the strengths and shortcomings of the major sources of data on Quaternary vegetation and climate change and discusses the use of models as a means to explore past and potential future environmental changes. The flora and major vegetation types of the western United States are present for several million years. Ongoing changes in atmospheric chemistry, climate, and...

Tectonic framework and Late Cenozoic tectonic history of the northern part of Cyprus: Implications for earthquake hazards and regional tectonics Tectonic framework and Late Cenozoic tectonic history of the northern part of Cyprus: Implications for earthquake hazards and regional tectonics
Located near the triple junction of the African, Arabia, and Eurasian Plate, Cyprus has had an active and complex neotectonic history, which includes devastating historical earthquakes. Investigations into the tectonic framework of the northern part of Cyprus provide important insights into regional tectonism of the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East. The northern part of Cyprus is...
