Disturbance Patterns in Southern Rocky Mountain Forests

Rocky Mountain spotted fever.

Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a life-threatening disease caused by Rickettsia rickettsii, an obligately intracellular bacterium that is spread to human beings by ticks. More than a century after its first clinical description, this disease is still among the most virulent human infections identified, being potentially fatal even in previously healthy young people. The diagnosis of RMSF...

The clinical illness was first described among Native Americans, soldiers, and settlers in the Bitterroot River and Snake River valleys of Montana and Idaho during the late 1890s, but remained unrecognized in dog...

Burial and temperature evolution in thrust belt systems: Sedimentary and thrust sheet loading in the SE Canadian Cordillera

[1] The southern Canadian foreland fold-and-thrust belt (FFTB) (SW Alberta–SE British Columbia) records the interplay between foreland basin evolution with the deformingwedge and thus controls the regionalscale overburden and exhumation history. Overburden estimates are typically based on the assumption that peak burials were reached by sedimentary burial prior to the emplacement of thrust shee...
