Download or read book Structural Analysis of the Tablerock Thrust Sheet Grandfather Mountain Window Northwestern North Carolina written by Ann Elizabeth Walker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tablerock thrust sheet is exposed along the southwestern margin of Grandfather Mountain window in northwestern North Carolina, where it separates basement and cover rocks inside the window from basement thrust sheets of the overriding Blue Ridge-Piedmont megathrust sheet. It is a complex of footwall-derived horses of rifted-margin metasedimentary rocks, including Neoproterozoic to Early Cambrian Chilhowee Group quartzite and phyllite, and Shady Dolomite. Penetrative deformation throughout the Tablerock thrust sheet is defined by an extensively transposed foliation, and strong colinearity between well developed transport lineations and SE/NW-trending tight, isoclinal, and sheath folds. Centimeter- to meter-scale sheath folds are common throughout the interior of the thrust sheet, and not just within fault zones. NE-trending/NW-vergent crenulations and mesoscale open folds overprint these fabric elements, and represent one to two later phases of deformation. The strong colinearity between transport lineations and the hinges of tight to isoclinal folds, prevalence of mesoscale sheath folds, and outcrop patterns on Bryant and Reed’s 1970 map suggest SE/NW-trending megascopic folds at Linville Falls waterfall, Woodlawn quarry, and in the Linville Gorge Wilderness Area are map-scale sheath folds. Deformation temperatures estimated from metamorphic mineral assemblages, quartz lattice-preferred orientations, dynamic recrystallization microstructures, feldspar deformation microstructures, and the opening angles of quartz [c]-axis fabrics indicate the Tablerock thrust sheet reached 550–595 °C during lower–middle amphibolite facies conditions, and was later overprinted by upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies conditions at 465–550 °C. These estimates are at least 120 °C higher than all previously reported temperatures, and are consistent with a model in which the Tablerock thrust sheet was significantly deformed during coupled transport with the Blue Ridge-Piedmont megathrust sheet prior to being emplaced at its present location.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book excerpt: Presents information from the primary abiotic forces defining the system, and from the present hydrology, biogeochemistry and physics of major sites of organic carbon production of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Additionally, research on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the dry valley soils is included. The role of environmental management in long-term ecological studies is also addressed. The accompanying CDROM provides details and scale to visualize the McMurdo Dry Valleys from an ecosystem perspective.
