Growth faulting and salt diapirism; their relationship and control in the Carolina Trough, eastern North America Growth faulting and salt diapirism; their relationship and control in the Carolina Trough, eastern North America

The Carolina Trough is a long, linear, continental margin basin off eastern North America. Salt domes along the trough's seaward side show evidence of active diapirism and a normal growth fault along its landward side has been continually active at least since the end of the Jurassic. This steep fault extends to a strong reflection event at about 11 km depth that may represent the top of...

Hormonal treatment and flight feather molt in immature Sandhill Cranes Hormonal treatment and flight feather molt in immature Sandhill Cranes

Often in large birds like geese, flight is restricted by clipping the primary remiges on 1 wing and flight is restored after the molt when the primaries are replaced. A similar technique would be desirable for use with cranes conditioned for release to the native...
