Nasa’S S'Cool Program, Rob Snyder

STEM Earth Central

NASA's S'COOL program gives students an opportunity to provide "ground truth" measurements to help NASA verify that data collected by CERES (Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System) instruments. The CERES instrumentation has been launched into polar obits on three satellites

Petrology, Structural Geology, And Significance Of Mn-Andalusite From The Lower Ortega Quartzite, Tusas Mts., Nm, Usa, Nancy A. Price

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

The Proterozoic syn-orogenic supra-crustal package exposed in the Tusas Mountain Range in northern New Mexico includes the anomalously thick, clean, ultramature Ortega Formation quartzite (Bauer and Williams, 1989). A unique Mn-bearing horizon spans the basal contact of the quartzite and contains Mn-andalusite, quartz, hematite, rutile, zircon, monazite, phyllosilicates, and locally kyanite and gahnite in intermittent aluminous, hematite-bearing layers, on the surface of cross-beds, concentrated in high strain zones, and on cleavage planes. Large-scale Mn zoning in Mn-andalusite results from a decrease in Mn content away from localized Mn highs (XMn of up to 0.76) that commonly correspond with the location …
