Late Pleistocene Climate Inferred From The Reconstruction Of The Taylor River Glacier Complex, Southern Sawatch Range, Colorado, Keith A. Brugger

Geology Publications

Ice surface topography of a late Pleistocene glacier complex, herein named the Taylor River Glacier Complex (TRGC), was reconstructed on the basis of detailed mapping of glacial landforms combined with analyses of aerial photos and topographic maps. During the last glacial maximum (LGM), the TRGC covered an area of 215 km² and consisted of five valley or outlet glaciers that were nourished by accumulation in cirques basins and/or upland ice fields.

Equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) for the glaciers of the TRGC were estimated using the accumulation-area ratio method, assuming that ratio to be 0.65 ± 0.05. ELAs thus derived ranged …

Refine Slip Rates And Segmentation Of The Northern Sangre De Cristo Fault, Colorado’S Largest Active Fault, James P. Mccalpin

James P. McCalpin

We excavated a 25 m-long trench on the northern part of the Crestone section of the Northern Sangre de Cristo fault zone, to see whether the Crestone section might be composed of more than one (independent) rupture segments. The Carr Gulch trench exposed evidence for 3 paleoearthquake displacements in the past 27.4 ka. The existence of 3 colluvial deposits (units 2, 3, 4) indicates that the ca. 4.5 m of surface offset was formed during 3 surface-faulting events with an average displacement of about 1.5 m each. The events occurred at about 8 ka, 20 ka, and between 22.5 and …

Uncertainty Analysis: Mid-Term Operational Model For The Lower Colorado River, Shana Goffman Tighi

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Water managers at the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation as well as other federal and local agencies use a monthly modeling tool called the 24-Month Study as the numerical basis of many decisions along the Lower Colorado River. It is a deterministic model and currently does not provide information about the uncertainty associated with forecasted outputs. As water resource management becomes increasingly based on technical models, managers realize the importance of the ability to understand and quantify uncertainty. This thesis contributes to efforts in this arena by accomplishing the following objectives: (1) identification of the various sources of …

Race, Gender, Region And Death Sentencing In Colorado, 1980-1999, Stephanie Hindson, Hillary Potter, Michael L. Radelet

University of Colorado Law Review

This paper examines the administration of the death penalty in Colorado. We first identify all cases (n=21) in which defendants were sentenced to death in Colorado, 1972-2005, and all cases (n=10) in which the death penalty was sought, 1980-1999. We then compare the race and gender of all homicide victims with the race and gender of victims in the 110 death penalty cases. Overall, we find that the death penalty is most likely to be sought for homicides with white female victims, and that the probability of death being sought is 4.2 times higher for those who kill whites than …
