Glacial landforms provide a valuable record from which to study the history and dynamics of past ice sheets. Eskers record paleo subglacial hydrologic and sediment transport conditions because they are composed of sediment ...

Lake Beeac is a playa lake located in the southeast province of Victoria, Australia that has been studied for the last 40 years due to the large amount of sedimentary dolomite, magnesite, and Mg-rich smectite present (De ...

Lower crustal rheology plays an important role in plate-scale tectonic processes. Understanding the deformation behavior of feldspar is critical because it is a volumetrically important mineral in the lower crust. I report ...

Episodic tremor and slip (ETS) is characterized by low-frequency tectonic tremor and geodetically resolvable slow slip events with repeat times of 3 to 14 months. Quartz slickenfibers have been hypothesized to provide a ...

The security of groundwater quantity and quality is a major issue facing communities across the world as it is difficult to predict how climate change will shape the hydrology of many regions. In agricultural areas, ...

The Coachella segment of the San Andreas fault (SAF) represents a significant source of seismic hazard in southern California. To better understand current fault motion, deformation, and shallow crustal properties associated ...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of contaminants that have gained significant attention due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and adverse effects on human health and the environment. ...

The Picuris Range of northern New Mexico has long been considered part of a typical convergent continental margin during Laurentian assembly. It is now known to result from an intraplate orogenic event ~500 km inboard of ...

Archean gneiss complexes represent critical records of the formation and evolution of the continental crust. However, these records are commonly modified by multiple, post- crystallization tectonothermal events, especially ...

The Cook Inlet section of the Alaska-Aleutian subduction zone is one of the most seismically active locations in the world, experiencing a variety of seismic activity, ranging from anthropogenic noise, to volcanic activity, ...
