Abstract:

Abstract: Charcoal production was a critical adjunct to Nevada's mining industry. It fueled smelters that processed complex gold and silver mineral ores of central and eastern Nevada and was produced in stone and brick charcoal kilns and earthen-covered charcoal pits. Both methods burned wood in a low oxygen environment to obtain a pure carbon residue, i.e., charcoal. The most common production method was in charcoal pits—earth-covered mounds of wood that produced charcoal in quantities far exceeding that produced in kilns. There is still evidence of many thousands of charcoal pits scattered throughout much of Nevada. Beyond the direct evidence of the remains of charcoal kilns and pits, the broader ecological impact of charcoal making in the late 19th century Nevada left its marks on today's landscape. The depletion of Nevada's limited forest resources, especially the destruction of the pinyon-juniper woodlands, driven in no small degree by charcoal production, altered vegetation patterns in terms of forest regrowth, the advance of sagebrush lands, habitat for wildlife, and vulnerability to catastrophic fire.

Abstract:

Abstract Daphnia is a good model organism for studying factors affecting dispersal and patterns of genetic diversity. Within this genus, the Daphnia pulex species complex includes lineages from North America and Europe, with some considered invaders in various continents, although their colonization history is poorly known. We used mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite markers to identify the D. pulex complex lineages in Sierra Nevada, determine their reproductive mode and reconstruct their genetic history (over the past ~25 to 65 years). We present the first recording of North American (NA) D. cf. pulex in a European high-mountain lake, showing its arrival ~65 years ago in lake Borreguil without temporal changes in its genetic structure. European (Eu) D. cf. pulicaria is the only lineage present in other Sierra Nevada lakes and also showed no genetic change over time. The results for both species are congruent with obligate parthenogenetic reproduction mode. Moreover, water mineralization may influence the clonal distribution of the D. pulex complex in Sierra Nevada, without ruling out dispersal limitation and/or founder effects. Although NA D. cf. pulex had not spread to other Sierra Nevada lakes, it could threaten Eu D. cf. pulicaria in Sierra Nevada and other European alpine lakes.

Abstract:

En el artículo se estudia la economía cafetera de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta y Serranía de Perijá, así como las actividades empresariales que surgieron en torno a esta actividad, desde finales del siglo XIX hasta principios del siglo XXI. El estudio muestra los orígenes del cultivo del café en el Caribe colombiano, destacando tres haciendas y varios los pioneros de la caficultura regional. Una parte considerable de esa colonización iniciada a finales del siglo XIX en la Sierra Nevada y Serranía de Perijá, fue adelantada por empresarios y familias extranjeras, ubicados mayoritariamente en la vertiente Norte de la Sierra Nevada. Haciendas como Jirocasaca, La Victoria y Cincinnati son estudiadas en este artículo con cierta profundidad, así como algunos pioneros del cultivo como Pedro Cothinet, Joaquín de Mier, Francois Dangond, Orlando Flye y las familias Opdenbosch y Weber. Los casos estudiados en este artículo se enmarcan dentro de los postulados teóricos de la historia empresarial (business history y entrepreneurial history), que tienen su origen en la década de 1920 en las universidades de Estados Unidos. Palabras clave: Café, Empresarios cafeteros, Haciendas cafeteras, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Serranía del Perijá

Abstract:

“Memory mapping,” including “rememory” (as stirringly pioneered by Toni Morrison), has become crucial within the humanities. Beginning with 1950s Nevada, the present article seeks deeper rememories of the American West, then critiques more recent history. Included are responses by Native Americans, Samuel Clemens recording the goldrush era, and interpretation of McCarthyism in light of the author's family's eviction from the US. Nevada was a nuclear testing ground. “Robot” aircraft have lately been deployed from the Nellis base in delivery of Hellfire missiles in Iraq. Overall, this layering of (often violent) history is shown to support a “poetics” of cultural memory.

Full text

Abstract:

Our study reconstructed fire history (1445–2006) from tree rings for a Great Basin single-needle pinyon pine ( Pinus monophylla Torr & Frém.) – Utah juniper ( Juniperus osteosperma (Torr.) Little) woodland. Information from multiple lines of evidence, including dateable fire scars (n = 83), tree demography, and charred coarse woody debris, was used to quantify fire frequency, severity, and extent. Fire cycle models were developed using survivorship analysis of time-since-fire estimates. We investigated the spatial and temporal variation in historical fire regime, addressing the plausibility of postsettlement fire exclusion as an explanation for increased woodland area and density since the late 1800s. Historical fire regime was characterized by infrequent, small, high-severity fires. Estimated fire cycle (1570–1880) was 427 years, with no evidence of postsettlement stand-replacing fires. Topographic analyses indicated that in this drought-prone landscape, more mesic conditions favor continuous fuels that lead to more frequent or extensive fire. Superposed epoch analysis showed increased fire occurrence during drought years but with no influence of antecedent climatic conditions. More frequent grassland and shrubland fires were recorded by fire scars near valley floors. Thus, anthropogenic fire exclusion in adjacent, shrub-dominated communities presents a plausible mechanism for woodland expansion in the study area. However, there is little ecological justification for reintroducing fire to areas of historic woodland, where effects of fire exclusion have been minimal.

Abstract:

While the nuclear mushroom cloud rising above the Nevada desert is an iconic and familiar image, what went on beneath the cloud is hazier and less well understood. At the surface level nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site in the 1950s entailed extensive scientific, military, and social experiments. This article focuses on two projects overseen by the Federal Civil Defense Administration (FCDA), Doom Town I and II, and their ties with 1950s cultural values and the consumer landscape. This article situates the two mock American townscapes as part of the cultural battlefield of the Cold War and explores how they served as powerful but also deeply flawed symbols of U.S. capitalism and a new suburban way of life.

Abstract:

Project Neon, a design-build (D-B) highway construction project in Las Vegas, Nevada, is the largest public works project in Nevada history. The project widened 3.7 miles of Interstate 15 (I-15) between Sahara Avenue and what is referred to as the "Spaghetti Bowl" interchange in downtown Las Vegas. This stretch of I-15 is the busiest stretch of highway in Nevada carrying approximately 300,000 vehicles daily. Noise impacts were identified in the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project that would be abated by constructing noise barriers. The EIS noise barriers were conceptual and were substantially refined during the D-B effort to provide the noise reductions committed to in the EIS. This paper describes some of the challenges with implementing the abatement measures into the design and lessons learned from this process.

Abstract:

From 1974 to 1984, Democrat Lilly Fong (1925–2002) served on the Nevada Board of Regents, the first Chinese American woman to win an election in Nevada and to hold that position. Fong laid the foundation for Republican Cheryl Lau (b. 1944) to be elected as Nevada’s secretary of state (1991–1994), the first Asian American to hold a major statewide office in Nevada. This study focuses on how and why these women emerged from the shadows into Nevada politics and suggests why they failed in later attempts to win an office. As second- and later-generation Chinese American women, they shared the strong Chinese cultural traditions, beliefs, and prejudices and were products of the changing role of education for women and the emergence of women in Chinese and Chinese American public life. They also were affected by the women’s movement in the United States and the Chinese emphasis on education, which led them both to advanced degrees and teaching. Gender and racial discrimination, anti-Chinese legislation and attitudes, and history and cultural traditions, especially the belief that women should be confined to domestic activities, were among the many barriers they had to overcome. They became active at a time when Chinese American political organizations became more influential and widespread, especially in cities with large Chinatowns. They, like many of their generation, had historical role models and contemporary ones, including Democrats Patsy Mink (1927–2002) of Hawaii and March Fong Eu (1922–2017) of California (to name just two). They shared similar backgrounds, including parents who were active in the community, the financial support of their husbands, a concern for U.S.-China relations, and, from time to time, their appeal to the mainstream community. They both believed in the Confucian adage that “education is the equalizer of mankind.” What they both lacked in their later campaign efforts were mentoring on tactics and the ability to quickly challenge negative media publicized by their opponents. They needed strong pan-Asian support, but, until 2000, Nevada had a small Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) population. They also needed broader support among voters of other races and ethnicities. Both women, who had female challengers at one point or another, lost to Euro-American women, which suggests that gender was not the major factor in those reelection failures. They had responded to the call for AAPI involvement in politics and, by their efforts, laid the foundations for recent successes of other AAPI women in Nevada and the West.

Abstract:

42 Background: The prevalence of depressive disorders in patients with malignancies is estimated at 20-50%, significantly greater than the general population. Existing literature reports a negative impact of depression on both the patient and their families. There is limited information regarding the impact of healthcare coverage on the prevalence of depression in such patients both in the state of Nevada and nationwide. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was performed using the Behavioral Risk Surveillance System (BRFSS) database from 2010 to 2014. All adult subjects with a history of malignancy were included. Demographic factors and health care coverage were reviewed. Individuals with skin cancer as well as those with missing data were excluded. Patients were assigned to two groups based on their insurance coverage status. Study population was further stratified into Nevada and non-Nevada residents and analyzed. Association between depression and health care coverage across the study groups were assessed using Pearson chi-square test and regression models. Results: 183,530 subjects nationwide met our inclusion criteria. The Nevada population represented 1% (1676) of the total study sample. In Nevada, the prevalence of cancer patients without healthcare coverage was 7.5% (N = 126) compared to individuals with coverage 92% (N = 1550). This is significantly higher when compared to the national average of 4.9 % without coverage (p = 0.001). Overall, the rate of depression in cancer patients with no healthcare coverage nationally was notably higher compared to those with coverage (37.5% vs 22.7%, p = 0.001). Similarly, statistically higher rates of depression were noted in non-insured Nevada patients compared to those insured [49 (38.8%) vs. 357 (23%), p 0.001)]. Conclusions: This study demonstrates significant association between depression and lack of insurance coverage; both nationwide as well as in the state of Nevada. The proportion of uninsured Nevada residents with malignancies were higher compared to the national average. Improved and early screening for depression is crucial in mitigating the potential complications and morbidity associated with depression in patients with cancer.

Abstract:

Each of the two quartz monzonite porphyry intrusions that form the Hall stock contains four phases concentrically zoned from fine-grained, groundmass-rich, silicic (70–73 wt. % SiO2) phases at the top and margin toward deeper phases that are progressively coarser, more equigranular, and richer in plagioclase and biotite (68–72 wt. % SiO2). In each stock, the depthwise decrease in groundmass is not continuous but is interrupted by flow-foliated, gradational contacts (at 60–70, 50, and 10 vol. % groundmass) at or above which concentrations of quartz–molybdenite veins and (or) other SiO2-rich features are common. Magma supercooling is documented by quartz–K-feldspar dendrites and crenulate quartz layers at phase contacts. Rare sharp contacts and xenoliths document that all phases are temporally distinct, with earliest phases at the top and margin and progressively later phases inward and with depth. However, gradational contacts, concentricity of phases, and unidirectionality of textural–compositional zoning argue that each stock developed from a single magma column whose progressively inward crystallization was episodically interrupted by the release of molybdenum-bearing fluids to produce stacked orebodies. Conductive heat-loss modeling indicates that each stock took ≤ 1130 years to (i) cool to solidus temperature (740–750 °C) and (ii) form three distinct molybdenum shells. Not only is progressively deeper fluid release from concentrically zoned textural phases of a single magma column previously undocumented, but also the short cooling interval in each stock implies very rapid rates of volatile migration in these systems and thus very rapid development of vertical compositional gradients.

Abstract:

En 1847 los alsacianos Daniel Dollfus-Ausset y Guillaume-Philippe Schimper realizaron una expedición a Sierra Nevada, en el sur de España. Su objetivo era la búsqueda de una nueva especie de cabra montes, pero su interés se extendía a la geografía, el paisaje, el glaciarismo y la botánica. En aquella expedición se realizó la primera fotografía al daguerrotipo que se conoce de Sierra Nevada, y se encontraron restos de antiguos glaciares cuaternarios sobre los que elaboraron una teoría mantenida como válida durante bastante tiempo. En este artículo se describe la personalidad de los viajeros, las circunstancias de su viaje y lo que representa el mismo en la historia científica de Sierra Nevada.En 1847, les Alsaciens Daniel Dollfus-Ausset et Guillaume-Philippe Schimper firent une expédition en Sierra Nevada,dans le sud de l’Espagne.

His goal was to search for a new species of mountain goat, but his interest extended to geography, landscape, glacierism and botany. In that expedition, the first daguerreotype photograph of Sierra Nevada was taken, and remains of ancient Quaternary glaciers were identified (on which they developed a theory maintained as valid for quite some time). This article explains the personality of the travelers,the circumstances of their trip and what it represents in the scientific history of Sierra Nevada.

Abstract:

Eugene Austin (1923-1980) was a member of the Lovelock Paiute Tribe of Nevada. The product of an impoverished and dysfunctional family and a former pupil of an off-reservation boarding school, Austin was a troubled and unhappy youth who yearned to escape the sparse opportunities and lack of mobility available to Native peoples of rural Nevada. In 1941, he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison. He spent the next thirty-three years at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City, longer than any other inmate in the institution's history. He endured inhumane treatment during his incarceration, was lobotomized, and in 1974 was eventually paroled to a convalescent home in California. His arrest, trial, and incarceration reveal a number of tragic missteps in a criminal justice system that often failed to understand or accommodate the unique needs and circumstances posed by Native American offenders in the Southwest.

Abstract:

Abstract Crustal temperature conditions can strongly influence the evolution of deformation during orogenesis. The Sevier hinterland plateau in Nevada and western Utah (“Nevadaplano”) experienced a Late Cretaceous episode of shallow-crustal metamorphism and granitic magmatism. Here, we investigate the thermal history of the Nevadaplano by measuring peak thermal field gradients attained in the upper 10–20 km of the crust along an east-west transect through nine ranges in eastern Nevada and western Utah, by integrating Raman spectroscopy of carbonaceous material thermometry and published conodont alteration indices with reconstructed cross sections. Thermal field gradients of 29 ± 3 °C/km were obtained in the House and Confusion Ranges in westernmost Utah. The Deep Creek, Schell Creek, and Egan Ranges in easternmost Nevada yielded elevated gradients of 49 ± 7 °C/km, 36 ± 3 °C/km, and 32 ± 6 °C/km, respectively. Moving westward, the White Pine, Butte, Pancake, and Fish Creek Ranges exhibit gradients typically between ~20–30 °C/km. The elevated thermal gradients in easternmost Nevada are interpreted to have been attained during ca. 70–90 Ma granitic magmatism and metamorphism and imply possible partial melting at ~18 km depths. Our data are compatible with published interpretations of Late Cretaceous lithospheric mantle delamination under the Sevier hinterland, which triggered lower-crustal anatexis and the resulting rise of granitic melts. The lack of evidence for structures that could have accommodated deep burial of rocks in the nearby Northern Snake Range metamorphic core complex, combined with thermal gradients from adjacent ranges that are ~1.5–3 times higher than those implied by thermobarometry in the Northern Snake Range, further highlights the debate over possible tectonic overpressure in Cordilleran core complexes. Cross-section retro-deformation defines 73.4 ± 4.6 km (76 ± 8%) of extension across eastern Nevada and 15 km of shortening in the Eastern Nevada fold belt.

Abstract:

A heavily armed militia occupied the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge from January 2 through February 21, 2016. The standoff began as a protest against the prosecution and incarceration of two local ranchers, although there has been a long-standing animus among some ranchers in the western United States. A brief history of the Bureau of Land Management lands is presented, with a focus on the management of grazing in the West. Some ranchers, such as Cliven Bundy of Nevada, have refused to pay grazing fees because of their profound hostility toward the federal government, and an earlier 2014 standoff in Bunkerville, Nevada, set the stage for the occupation at Malheur.

Abstract:

The small ichthyosaurMixosaurusis the most widely distributed ichthyosaur. It is known from Lower Triassic rocks of British Columbia, Canada (Callaway and Brinkman, 1989), and Middle Triassic rocks of northwestern North America (Alaska, British Columbia), China, Timor, the western Tethys (Switzerland, Italy, Turkey), the Germanic Triassic, and the high Arctic (Spitsbergen, Exmouth Island) (Mazin, 1986; Callaway and Brinkman, 1989; Callaway and Massare, 1989). The presence ofMixosaurusin one of the richest ichthyosaur provinces, the Middle Triassic of Nevada (Merriam, 1908), has been difficult to establish. The history of this problem is very colorful and is the topic of this note together with the description of a new specimen from the Nevada Middle Triassic.

Abstract:

In June 1954 Nevada became the twenty-ninth oil-producing state in the United States (Picard 1955). Interestingly, production was from volcanic rocks from the open-hole interval 6,450 to 6,730 ft (1,966 to 2,051 m) in the Oligocene Garrett Ranch volcanics, an unexpected reservoir in the kind of rocks rarely productive anywhere in the world. The pour-point (65-80° F) and gravity (26-29° API) of the crude were high, similar to oils found in the Eocene Green River Formation of the Uinta Basin, northeast Utah. Cumulative production in the field through September 1978 was 3.3 million barrels of oil. An early estimate of ultimate primary reserves was four million barrels of oil (Bortz and Murray, 1979). The trap is a faulted truncated wedge of Oligocene and Cretaceous-Eocene rocks with a top seal of impermeable valley fill, a bottom seal of Paleozoic rocks, and an east-side seal formed by a basin boundary fault and impermeable Paleozoic rocks. The new field in Railroad Valley of east-central Nevada, finally totaling fourteen producing wells, was called Eagle Springs after the locality and the name of the discovery well drilled by the Shell Oil Company. Twenty-two years after the Eagle Springs discovery a larger oil field, Trap Spring, was discovered by Northwest Exploration Company less than ten miles west of Eagle Springs, in Tertiary ash-flow tuffs. Two hundred dry holes had been drilled in Nevada between the two discoveries. In 1982, six years after the Trap Spring discovery, Amoco Production Company drilled the first well outside of Railroad Valley at Blackburn field on the east side of Pine Valley in Eureka County. Blackburn, a structural trap above a Tertiary low-angle extensional fault, produces from Devonian reservoirs. In 1983, Northwest Production brought in the Grant Canyon field about 10 mi (6 km) south of Eagle Springs. The oil reservoir of Devonian carbonates there is entrapped in a ‘buried-hill’. The discovery in 2004 of the Covenant field in Central Utah, because of similarities to large oil fields in the thrust belt of Wyoming and Utah and some resemblance to the Nevada fields of the Great Basin, ignited a frenzy of leasing which still goes on when land is available. Located along the thrust-belt (hingeline), Covenant produces oil from the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone that apparently originated in the Paleozoic.

Abstract:

Basque settlement increased in the western states of the US decades ago, particularly in California, Idaho, and Nevada. Alongside this migration phenomenon, Basque Studies programs have been emerging at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), Boise State University (BSU), and California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), particularly in the humanities, including history, anthropology, linguistics, and literature. The impact of the pandemic in Basque e-Diasporic communities in California, Idaho, and Nevada, and, consequently, the deep digitalization process being undertaken at the abovementioned universities, has resulted in an increasing demand for an articulated strategy in community engagement through action research. To respond to this timely challenge, the article suggests a need for a transition towards a Social Science transdisciplinary roadmap to support Basque e-diasporic communities. Basque Studies programs have the potential to act as a transformational policy driver through their virtual connections with the Basque Country and key homeland institutions. This article explores this necessary transition through action research by acknowledging the potential for the three abovementioned US states and the Basque Country to set up a transformational e-Diaspora.

Abstract:

AbstractPleistocene fluvial landforms and riparian ecosystems in central California responded to climate changes in the Sierra Nevada, yet the glacial history of the western Sierra remains largely unknown. Three glacial stages in the northwestern Sierra Nevada are documented by field mapping and cosmogenic radionuclide surface-exposure (CRSE) ages. Two CRSE ages of erratic boulders on an isolated till above Bear Valley provide a limiting minimum age of 76,400±3800 10Be yr. Another boulder age provides a limiting minimum age of 48,800±3200 10Be yr for a broad-crested moraine ridge within Bear Valley. Three CRSE ages producing an average age of 18,600±1180 yr were drawn from two boulders near a sharp-crested bouldery lateral moraine that represents an extensive Tioga glaciation in Bear Valley. Nine CRSE ages from striated bedrock along a steep valley transect average 14,100±1500 yr and suggest rapid late-glacial ice retreat from lower Fordyce Canyon with no subsequent extensive glaciations. These ages are generally consistent with glacial and pluvial records in east-central California and Nevada.
