This book was released on 2021 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Poverty Hills are located in the Owens Valley, California with the Sierra Nevada range to the west and the Inyo-White range to the east. The Poverty Hills constitute a portion of the northern section of the Owens Valley fault zone and are hypothesized to be the result of either a landslide or uplift origin, in primarily geologic studies. No geophysical methods have been previously employed to determine the origin of the Poverty Hills. Gravity and magnetic data were collected, processed, and analyzed over an approximate 500 km2 area surrounding the Poverty Hills. The grid extends across the east-west length of the Owens Valley and the north-south distance between Taboose Creek to Fish Springs. Gravity modeling was completed along 3 gravity lines that extend the width of Owens Valley, measuring between approximately 7,000 to 13,000 meters in length. Based on these data and modeling results, there is no evidence that explicitly indicates the Poverty Hills are the result of any type of landslide, much less a long-runout-landslide. Furthermore, gravity and magnetic highs are more consistent with basement uplift or igneous intrusion, likely related to the right-lateral Owens Valley fault system. How-ever, broad interpretations can be concluded from these data; 1. The gravity high to the west of the Poverty Hills represents a remnant ridge present in the sub-surface that extends to the south to crop out in the Alabama Hills; 2. The gravity and magnetic highs to the west of the Poverty Hills may also represent an intrusive dike or pluton; 3. Another, elongated, gravity high represents the trace of a left step in the right-lateral Owens Valley fault, which has resulted in the uplift of Poverty Hills, likely as a transpressional flower structure in the right-lateral Owens Valley fault. A future study may find it useful to increase the size of the study area to include the Sierra Nevada Mountains to have a more representative gravity and magnetic high to compare to the elongated gravity and magnetic anomalies.

Book Treatise on Geomorphology

Download or read book Treatise on Geomorphology written by and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-02-27 with total page 6392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing focus and approach of geomorphic research suggests that the time is opportune for a summary of the state of discipline. The number of peer-reviewed papers published in geomorphic journals has grown steadily for more than two decades and, more importantly, the diversity of authors with respect to geographic location and disciplinary background (geography, geology, ecology, civil engineering, computer science, geographic information science, and others) has expanded dramatically. As more good minds are drawn to geomorphology, and the breadth of the peer-reviewed literature grows, an effective summary of contemporary geomorphic knowledge becomes increasingly difficult. The fourteen volumes of this Treatise on Geomorphology will provide an important reference for users from undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic. Information on the historical development of diverse topics within geomorphology provides context for ongoing research; discussion of research strategies, equipment, and field methods, laboratory experiments, and numerical simulations reflect the multiple approaches to understanding Earth’s surfaces; and summaries of outstanding research questions highlight future challenges and suggest productive new avenues for research. Our future ability to adapt to geomorphic changes in the critical zone very much hinges upon how well landform scientists comprehend the dynamics of Earth’s diverse surfaces. This Treatise on Geomorphology provides a useful synthesis of the state of the discipline, as well as highlighting productive research directions, that Educators and students/researchers will find useful. Geomorphology has advanced greatly in the last 10 years to become a very interdisciplinary field. Undergraduate students looking for term paper topics, to graduate students starting a literature review for their thesis work, and professionals seeking a concise summary of a particular topic will find the answers they need in this broad reference work which has been designed and written to accommodate their diverse backgrounds and levels of understanding Editor-in-Chief, Prof. J. F. Shroder of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, is past president of the QG&G section of the Geological Society of America and present Trustee of the GSA Foundation, while being well respected in the geomorphology research community and having won numerous awards in the field. A host of noted international geomorphologists have contributed state-of-the-art chapters to the work. Readers can be guaranteed that every chapter in this extensive work has been critically reviewed for consistency and accuracy by the World expert Volume Editors and by the Editor-in-Chief himself No other reference work exists in the area of Geomorphology that offers the breadth and depth of information contained in this 14-volume masterpiece. From the foundations and history of geomorphology through to geomorphological innovations and computer modelling, and the past and future states of landform science, no "stone" has been left unturned!
