UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
The Black Hills fault (BHF) is a SE-dipping normal fault forming the northwestern structural boundary of the Eldorado basin, ∼20 km southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada (Langenheim and Schmidt, 1996). The fault offsets Holocene strata and is thus considered to be active (Fossett, 2005). Therefore, the BHF poses a significant seismic hazard to the greater Las Vegas area.
Fossett (2005) estimated that the BHF is capable of producing a M W 6.4 to 6.8 earthquake. However, this suggests a subsurface rupture length greater than the scarp length (Fossett, 2005). To test this hypothesis, remote sensing, geologic mapping, and high-resolution seismic …

Characterization Of Natural Spring Waters Of The San Bernardino Mountains Using Stable Isotopes Of Oxygen And Hydrogen, Alison Renee Sloat
Theses Digitization Project
The purpose of this study was to characterize the natural spring waters of the San Bernardino Mountains using two stable isotopes. The isotopic results of this study will aid with tracing sources, movements, and mixing effects on groundwater receiving mountain-front recharge in the region.
