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 and broader dissemination. tional publishing house to assure improved service 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 30 (thesis year 1985) a total of 12,400 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 186 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.

Sedimentary Cover—North American Craton: U.S.
Author: L.L. Sloss
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813754496
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
The 'sedimentary cover' refers to the stratified rocks of youngest Proterozoic and Phanerozoic age that rest upon the largely crystalline basement rocks of the continental interior. This volume presents data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarizes the craton's tectonic evolution. It also presents the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins (e.g. Appalachian basin) and regions (e.g. Rocky Mountains). It concludes with a discussion of the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics, & unresolved questions are identified.

Resolving the Late Paleozoic Ice Age in Time and Space
Author: Christopher R. Fielding
Publisher: Geological Society of America
ISBN: 0813724414
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
"This volume summarizes new developments in understanding the longest-lived icehouse period in Phanerozoic Earth history, the late Paleozoic ice age. Resolving the Late Paleozoic Ice Age in Time and Space provides summaries of existing and new data from the various Gondwanan continental relics, and also reviews stratigraphic successions from the paleotropical and temperate regions of Laurussia that preserve an indirect record of glaciation. It addresses the extent to which records of glaciation indicate protracted, long-term climatic austerity, as opposed to fluctuating, more dynamic climate, and provides new constraints on the timing of glaciation. Additionally, it tackles questions of synchroneity of glaciation across the various Gondwanan continental relics, and timing relationships between near-field and far-field records at greater levels of resolution than has been possible previously. Results point toward a dynamic icehouse regime that is comparable to the Cenozoic icehouse, and away from traditional interpretations of the late Paleozoic ice age as a single, protracted event that involved stable, long-lived ice centers."--Publisher's website.

Structural Control on Distribution of Sedimentary Facies in the Pennsylvanian Minturn Formation of North-central Colorado
Author: Karen J. Houck
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Geology, Stratigraphic
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Field study of the middle part of the Pennsylvanian Minturn Formation in the McCoy-Bond area of north-central Colorado has yielded evidence for structural influences on sedimentation. The McCoy-Bond area was probably located near an en echelon offset in the fault zone bounding the eastern margin of the basin. Paleocurrent measurements show that sediment transport in nonmarine drainages and in marine deltas and turbidites was consistently to the south during several transgressive-regressive intervals. These trends may have been controlled by a topographic low that extended south from the offset zone to a termination in the southern part of the area. Mapping of sediment packages shows that drainages and sites of delta and turbidite accumulation were repeatedly established near the traces of two north-south- oriented faults. The sediment packages also thicken and are more completely preserved closer to the fault traces. These trends suggest that these faults were active during middle Minturn deposition. Individual fault blocks delineated by facies and thickness changes are similar in structural style to the Vail-McCoy trough, the Avon-Edwards high, and the Eagle sub-basin defined by other workers and illustrate the control of structure on sedimentation in the central Colorado basin.
