A Geochemical Study Of The Rhododendron And Dalles Formations In The Area Of Mount Hood, Oregon, Marshall W. Gannett Jan 1981

A Geochemical Study Of The Rhododendron And Dalles Formations In The Area Of Mount Hood, Oregon, Marshall W. Gannett

Dissertations and Theses

The Miocene Rhododendron and Dalles Formations in the Mount Hood area are accumulations of chiefly pyroclastic andesitic material, largely confined to the Dalles-Mount Hood syncline. These very similar units are geographically separated by overlying andesites including the present Mount Hood cone, and past workers (Hodge 1938, Wise 1969) have suspected that they may share a common source. Prior to this study, few geochemical data were available for the Rhododendron and the Dalles Formations, compared to the well studied Columbia River basalts underlying them and the overlying Pliocene andesites. This geochemical study was designed to investigate certain aspects of the Rhododendron …

Variation In Branch Growth Characteristics Of Pinus Contorta Infected With Arceuthobium Americanum, Lynn Anne Larsen

Dissertations and Theses

Arceuthobium americanum is a flowering plant which parasitizes Pinus contorta (Lodgepole pine). This study examined branch performance of P. contorta infected to varying degrees with A. americanum.
