Adsorption of selenium by amorphous iron oxyhydroxide and manganese dioxide Adsorption of selenium by amorphous iron oxyhydroxide and manganese dioxide

This work compares and models the adsorption of selenium and other anions on a neutral to alkaline surface (amorphous iron oxyhydroxide) and an acidic surface (manganese dioxide). Selenium adsorption on these oxides is examined as a function of pH, particle concentration, oxidation state, and competing anion concentration in order to assess how these factors might influence the mobility...

Extensional faulting in the southern Klamath Mountains, California Extensional faulting in the southern Klamath Mountains, California

Large northeast striking normal faults in the southern Klamath Mountains may indicate that substantial crustal extension occurred during Tertiary time. Some of these faults form grabens in the Jurassic and older bedrock of the province. The grabens contain continental Oligocene or Miocene deposits (Weaverville Formation), and in two of them the Oligocene or Miocene is underlain by Lower
