Log for Joint SEPM-Colorado Scientific Society field trip, September 20-21, 1986: Late Paleozoic sedimentation and Laramide tectonics of the Sangre de Cristo Range, from Westcliffe to Crestone, Colorado Log for Joint SEPM-Colorado Scientific Society field trip, September 20-21, 1986: Late Paleozoic sedimentation and Laramide tectonics of the Sangre de Cristo Range, from Westcliffe to Crestone, Colorado
This trip will cross the northern Sangre de Cristo Range, from Westcliffe to Crestone, Colorado, by way of the Hermit Pass Road and the Rito Alto pack trail (Fig. 1 below; road and trail shown on Fig. 2). The traverse is designed to give the geologist a sample of the structure and stratigraphy of this part of the range. Emphasis will be on the relationship between the horst of the Sangre...

Environmental studies of the World Trade Center area after the September 11, 2001 attack Environmental studies of the World Trade Center area after the September 11, 2001 attack
This web site describes the results of an interdisciplinary environmental characterization of the World Trade Center (WTC) area after September 11, 2001. Information presented in this site was first made available to the World Trade Center emergency response teams on September 18, 2001 (Thermal hot spot information), and September 27, 2001 (maps and compositional results). The Airborne...

Mars' "White Rock" feature lacks evidence of an aqueous origin: Results from Mars Global Surveyor Mars' "White Rock" feature lacks evidence of an aqueous origin: Results from Mars Global Surveyor
The “White Rock” feature on Mars has long been viewed as a type example for a Martian playa largely because of its apparent high albedo along with its location in a topographic basin (a crater). Data from the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) demonstrate that White Rock is not anomalously bright relative to other Martian bright regions, reducing the significance of...

The Goldfield mining district, Nevada: an acid sulfate bonanza gold deposit The Goldfield mining district, Nevada: an acid sulfate bonanza gold deposit
This paper provides an introduction to the geology, ore deposits, and fluid geochemistry of the Goldfield mining district, Esmerelda and Nye Counties, Nevada. Also included is a brief interpretation of mineral maps of the western half of the district which were recently produced from remotely sensed imagery acquired by the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) systems...

Assessment of the alluvial sediments in the Big Thompson River Valley, Colorado Assessment of the alluvial sediments in the Big Thompson River Valley, Colorado
To obtain subsurface geologic information about the alluvium in the Big Thompson River valley, S-wave refraction data were collected along three roads that cross the valley. The refraction data were used to estimate velocities and thickness for a layered-earth model; from these models, three cross sections of the river valley were constructed. These cross sections show the thickness and...
