Plio-Quaternary Exhumation History Of The Central Nepalese Himalaya: 2. Thermo-Kinematic Model Of Thermochronometer Age Prediction Model, David Whipp Jr, Todd Ehlers, Ann Blythe, Katharine Huntington, Kip Hodges, Douglas Burbank
Plio-Quaternary Exhumation History Of The Central Nepalese Himalaya: 2. Thermo-Kinematic Model Of Thermochronometer Age Prediction Model, David Whipp Jr, Todd Ehlers, Ann Blythe, Katharine Huntington, Kip Hodges, Douglas Burbank

[1] In the Himalaya and other active convergent orogens, linear relationships between thermochronometer sample age and elevation are often used to estimate long-term exhumation rates. In these regions, high-relief topography and nonvertical exhumation pathways may invalidate such one-dimensional (1-D) interpretations and lead to significant errors. To quantify these errors, we integrate apatite fission track (AFT) ages from the central Himalaya with a 3-D coupled thermokinematic model, from which sample cooling ages are predicted using a cooling-rate-dependent algorithm. By changing the slip partitioning between faults near the Main Central thrust and the Main Frontal thrust system at the Himalayan range front, …

The Diachroneity Of Alluvial-Fan Lithostratigraphy?: A Test Case From Southeastern Ebro Basin Magnetostratigraphy, Nicholas Swanson-Hysell, David Barbeau
The Diachroneity Of Alluvial-Fan Lithostratigraphy?: A Test Case From Southeastern Ebro Basin Magnetostratigraphy, Nicholas Swanson-Hysell, David Barbeau
David L Barbeau Jr
Alluvial-fan strata contain valuable proxy data for kinematic, climatic and sediment-flux phenomena associated with high-relief source regions. Proper application of this data is dependent upon acquisition of accurate high-resolution chronostratigraphic data, best achieved through magnetostratigraphy. Collection of magnetostratigraphic and other proxy data from composite alluvial-fan sections assumes the chronostratigraphic significance of lithostratigraphy. We present the first test of this assumption with new magnetostratigraphy collected from Paleogene rocks of the southeastern Ebro basin. We report five new magnetostratigraphic sections that collectively sample 850 m of alluvial-fan and associated fluvial strata. One-hundred meters of lithostratigraphic overlap between these sections reveals equivalent magnetic …

In The Heat Of The Law, It's Not Just Steam: Geothermal Resources And The Impact On Thermophile Biodiversity, Donald J. Kochan, Tiffany Grant
Donald J. Kochan
Significant research has been conducted into the utilization of geothermal resources as a ‘green’ energy source. However, minimal research has been conducted into geothermal resource utilization and depletion impacts on thermophile biodiversity. Thermophiles are organisms which have adapted over millions of year to extreme temperature and chemical compositions and exist in hot springs and other geothermal resources. Their ability to withstand high temperatures makes them invaluable to scientific and medical research. Current federal and California case law classify geothermal resources as a mineral, not a water resource. Acquisition of rights to develop a geothermal resource owned or reserved by the …
