Glacial Geology of the Southern Uinta Mountains
It has been known for over a century that the Uinta Mountains contained numerous alpine glaciers during parts of the Quaternary Period, yet until recently, the glacial record on the south side of the range had received little scientifi c attention. Results of recent 1:24,000-scale fi eld mapping of surfi cial deposits in the southern Uinta Mountains indicate that glaciers in the southwestern an...
متن کاملGreat challenges in structural geology and tectonics
Successful scientific theories provide theoretical understanding for reliable deterministic or probabilistic forecasting of events. In the past decades the volume of data obtained within the fields of structural geology and tectonics has increased enormously, but the theoretical understanding of the processes that generate these data has not advanced at the same rate. For example, after decades...
متن کاملGeology of the Cowichan Lake Area , Vancouver Island
CanaddBritish Columbia Mineral Development Agreement, this area was selected for more detailed analysis than presently available. During the 1986 field season fieldwork was centred on the Cowichan Lake area (Figures 3-9-1 and 3-9-21, Access in the area is provided by an extensive network of logging roads in various states of upkeep. Roadcuts provide most ofthe exposure for mapping; rock units a...
متن کاملGlacial Geology of Cape Bird, Ross Island, Antarctica
Located on the northwest coast of Ross Island in McMurdo Sound, Cape Bird features virtually unweathered surface drift with erratics from the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) and with enclosed marine shell fragments. This Cape Bird drift is cut by Holocene beaches. The chronology of drift deposition and beach formation comes from AMS radiocarbon dates of associated marine shells, and of penguin b...
متن کاملA Sketching Tool for Illustrative Structural Geology
We describe a sketch-based system for constructing an illustrative visualization of the subsurface. An intuitive and rapid modelling tool is defined, which takes as input user’s strokes and creates a 3D layer-cake model of the earth. Our tool enables users to quickly express and communicate their ideas directly using a 3D model. For sketching, we have created geometric operators that capture th...
