Titanotheres from the Titus Canyon Formation, California

Paleontology: C. Stock Titanotheres from the Titus Canyon Formation, California

Introduction.-The Titus Canyon formation of Oligocene age, occurring in the Death Valley region of California, was described in a recent paper by Stock and Bode.' Brief mention was made at that time of the fossil mammals found in this formation. Among these, the titanotheres were the first to be discovered and moreover are known by the best preserved material. These types possess special intere...

Activity of the Offshore Newport–Inglewood Rose Canyon Fault Zone, Coastal Southern California, from Relocated Microseismicity

An offshore zone of faulting approximately 10 km from the southern California coast connects the seismically active strike-slip Newport–Inglewood fault zone in the Los Angeles metropolitan region with the active Rose Canyon fault zone in the San Diego area. Relatively little seismicity has been recorded along the offshore Newport–Inglewood Rose Canyon fault zone, although it has long been suspe...

Sandwave migration in Monterey Submarine Canyon, Central California

Repeated high-resolution multibeam bathymetric surveys from 2002 through 2006 at the head of theMonterey Submarine Canyon reveal a sandwave field along the canyon axis between 20 and 250 m water depth. These sandwaves range in wavelength from 20 to 70 m and 1 to 3 m in height. A quantitative measure was devised to determine the direction of sandwave migration based on the asymmetry of their pro...

Statement - C . Titus Brown

The future of biology and biomedicine lies at the intersection of data gathering, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. It is increasingly easy to gather large amounts of relevant data, but interpretation of that data and connection of that data to downstream hypothesis-driven experimentation is still difficult and rare. Effectively integrating large scale data analysis with “wet” biol...
