Wild, scenic and rapid trip down the Colorado River trough: Desert Symposium field trip Wild, scenic and rapid trip down the Colorado River trough: Desert Symposium field trip

This rapid trip will explore wild fluvial and tectonic events resulting in scenic and rugged topography. The extreme differences in elevation caused valleys to be choked by alluvium and incised by the Colorado River drainage system.

Sources of seasonal water-supply forecast skill in the western US Sources of seasonal water-supply forecast skill in the western US

Many water supplies in the western US depend on water that is stored in snowpacks and reservoirs during the cool, wet seasons for release and use in the following warm seasons. Managers of these water supplies must decide each winter how much water will be available in subsequent seasons so that they can proactively capture and store water and can make reliable commitments for later...

Two middle Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles from the Valle Grande, Jemez Mountains, northern New Mexico Two middle Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles from the Valle Grande, Jemez Mountains, northern New Mexico

A long-lived middle Pleistocene lake formed in the Valle Grande, a large moat valley of the Valles caldera innorthern New Mexico, when a post-caldera eruption (South Mountain rhyolite) dammed the drainage out of the caldera. Thedeposits of this lake were cored in May 2004 (GLAD5 project, hole VC-3) and 81 m of mostly lacustrine silty mud wererecovered. A tentative chronology has been...

Radiometric calibration status of Landsat-7 and Landsat-5 Radiometric calibration status of Landsat-7 and Landsat-5

Launched in April 1999, Landsat-7 ETM+ continues to acquire data globally. The Scan Line Corrector in failure in 2003 has affected ground coverage and the recent switch to Bumper Mode operations in April 2007 has degraded the internal geometric accuracy of the data, but the radiometry has been unaffected. The best of the three on-board calibrators for the reflective bands, the Full...
