Geology Of The Area Between Virden And Red Rock, Hidalgo And Grant Counties, New Mexico, Biswa Pradhan

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The area between Virden and Red Rock is located in southwestern New Mexico, about 30 miles northwest of the town Longsburg. Mapping covered an area of about 94 square miles.

This report deals with the stratigraphy of sedimentary and igneous rocks of the area, with particular attention to the faunal and floral assemblages of Cretaceous sediments and the consequent determination of age of interbedded volcanic rocks.

Geology Of The East Potrillo Hills, Dona Ana County, New Mexico, William E. Bowers

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The East Potrillo Hills are essentially a low north-westerly trending ridge that lies just north of the Mexican border in southern Dona Ana County, New Mexico. The range is approximately 7 miles long and up to 1 1/2 miles wide. It is cut by transverse canyons that carry water to the bolson only during occasionally heavy rains. The crest of the ranges lies 700 to 900 feet above the extensive La Mesa plain which stretches for more than 20 miles to the north, east, and south. In the northern part of the range, the crest reaches a maximum elevation of …

Core Location Of Extensive Air Showers, James H. Jett

Physics & Astronomy ETDs

Extensive air showers have been studied as part of cosmic ray phenomenology since 1938. They are made up of electrons, photons, and many other particles which traverse the earth's atmosphere toward the earth. The showers are initiated by high energy cosmic rays. The primary cosmic rays are nuclei which have been stripped of their orbital electrons.

To this end an experiment is underway in the University of New Mexico Physics Department to determine the amount of energy transferred from the core of the shower to the electron-photon cascade. By using a detector telescope with appropriate absorber between the two detectors, …

Upper Cretaceous Farmington Sandstone Of Northeastern San Juan County, New Mexico, Ottis L. Dilworth

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The Upper Cretaceous Farmington sandstone is found only in northwestern New Mexico and Southwestern Colorado. The Farmington sandstone is the middle member of the Kirtland shale, there being a Kirtland shale member above and below it. This sandstone unit appears as an extensive wedge in the Kirtland shale and thins northward, southward, and southeastward from Townships 30-31 North, Ranges 9-13 West. The thickness of the Farmington sandstone ranges from 27 to 818 feet within the area of this thesis. The unit is correlative with parts of the Vermejo formation of the Raton basin and the Fox Hills formation of the …

A Statistical Technique For Predicting A Two Dimensional Vector With Application, Richard E. Vogel

Mathematics & Statistics ETDs

The problem of multiple regression analysis where the dependent and independent variables are components of a two dimensional vector is discussed, and a complete statistical development of the solution of estimators for the parameters in the model given. The theory regarding predictions and confidence statements about such predictions is also developed. A computer code was written for the IBM 704 computer which solves the above problem and a description of the code appears in the appendix.

The statistical model was applied to a meteorological problem in wind forecasting at the Eniwetok Proving Ground, and prediction equations were developed and evaluated.

Water Resources Of The Western Slopes Of The Sandia Mountains, Bernalillo And Sandoval Counties, New Mexico, Eugene R. Caprio

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The purpose of the study on which this thesis is based is to determine the source, occurrence, characteristics, and possible amounts of surface and ground water available along the western slope of the Sandia Mountains, New Mexico.

Geology Of The Northern Part Of The Fra Cristobal Range, Sierra And Socorro Counties, New Mexico, John T. Mccleary

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

The northern part of the Fra Cristobal Range contains rocks of Precambrian, Cambrian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary age. One of the northernmost exposures in New Mexico of the Cambrian Bliss formation occurs in the central part of the range. Here the bliss formation wedges out due to widespread pre-Pennsylvanian erosion which removed all the other lower Paleozoic rocks.

The Pennsylvanian Magdalena group, which is predominately limestone, rests uncomformably on Precambrian rock and the Bliss Formation. It forms the greatest part of the sedimentary sequence and is divided into three formations; the Red House, Nakaye, and Bar B formations …

A Magnetic Survey In The Rio Grande Depression, John W. M'Gonigle

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

A vertical magnetic survey of a part of the Albuquerque basin was made in the fall and winter of 1959 to test the feasibility of detecting major faults in the Precambrian basement rocks.

Controls On Paradox Salt Deposition In The Area Of Comb Monocline San Juan County, Utah, Jim S. Hinds

Earth and Planetary Sciences ETDs

This study was undertaken for the purpose of delineating the configuration of the Paradox salt wedge edge in relation to the Comb monocline structure. It was designed to illustrate whether or not, and to what extent, the Comb structure was a submarine barrier controlling deposition of sediments on the western shelf of the Paradox seaway during middle Paradox time.

Chemistry and Chemical Biology ETDs

The kinetics of a number of oxidation-reduction reactions and exchange reactions involving cations of the transition and inner transition elements have been extensively reviewed by T. W. Newton and S. W. Rabideau. These workers represent the formation of the activated complex by an equation which includes only the principal species in solution as reactants.
