Abstract:

A new bird coracoid from the Uinta Formation in the Uinta Basin in Utah (USA) records the presence of the only known pangalliform from the middle Eocene of North America, occurring in a >15 million year gap in their history. This fossil represents a new taxon, informally termed the Uintan paraortygid, which is also currently the best-supported record of the extinct Paraortygidae in North America (and among the oldest records of the group in the world). The specimen exhibits a derived enlarged procoracoid prominence with a small procoracoid process, and concave elliptical scapular cotyle that are shared with the middle Eocene paraortygids, Xorazmortyx and Scopelortyx; however, the Uintan paraortygid also has a possibly autapomorphic (pneumatic) fossa adjacent to the scapular cotyle. The similarity in body size and morphology among these widely distributed early paraortygids suggests phylogenetic affinity among them. Given their occurrence in the United States, Uzbekistan, and Namibia during the middle Eocene, these birds likely were good fliers with an increased ability to disperse; and probably had a flexible biology or diet allowing them to occupy a diversity of habitats from coasts and forests to semi-arid savannah-like habitats. The problematic early records of Odontophoridae need to be reexamined as potential members of Paraortygidae and associates of these small-bodied taxa.

Abstract:

The Uinta Basin of northeastern Utah contains a wide variety of hydrocarbon resources including vast accumulations of crude oil and natural gas deposits, one of the largest oil shale resources in the world, and the largest tar sand deposit in the United States. In addition, unique solid hydrocarbons, including gilsonite, wurtzilite, tabbyite, and ozokerite, have a long and colorful history of exploration and/or production in the region. The most abundant of these, gilsonite, occurs in distinctive swarms of subparallel, northwest-trending veins. The lateral continuity of the veins is impressive, with relatively long, straight ribbons stretching across the hills of the eastern Uinta Basin. The veins are also vertically continuous, extending hundreds to more than 3000 feet (900 m) below the ground, commonly having only small variations in width. The Uinta Basin contains the world’s largest deposit of gilsonite and is the only place in the world where this unique resource is economically produced. Gilsonite is remarkable for its unusual geologic origin, chemical and physical properties, and industrial uses. Industry pioneers are noted for creating innovative uses for their product and for over 100 years have solved mining, processing, transportation, marketing, and other challenges to supply gilsonite to world markets. Accordingly, gilsonite has been studied and described in a large body of research dating back to the 1880s. Most recently, the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) published Special Study 141 (Boden and Tripp, 2012), which presents the latest mapping of gilsonite deposits and a compilation of existing data. To date, over 70 significant veins and vein systems, having a total combined vein length of over 170 miles (270 km), have been mapped by UGS geologists.

Abstract:

North American pantodonts have mostly been recovered from the Rocky Mountain states. However, none has previously been accurately reported from Utah. Reference to Coryphodon was made by Cope in 1872 under the name Bathmodon, to which others (e.g., Marsh, 1876) later referred, but this probably was in error. The reported material apparently came from southwestern Wyoming rather than northeastern Utah. An undescribed coryphodontid jaw, though, has been collected from Eocene deposits in the Uinta Basin.

Abstract:

Aside from the recorded travels of Juan de Rivera in 1765 and the Dominguez-Escalante party in 1776, the earliest reports involving explorations into Utah were mostly those for proposed railroad lines and trade routes, or for general knowledge of the poorly known Western Territories (1840s to 1870s). These explorations were usually conducted under the auspices of the United States Army. Scientists, including geologists/paleontologists, commonly accompanied the survey parties. The first surveys whose prime objectives were to study geology and topography were commissioned by Congress in 1867. The earliest discovery of a vertebrate fossil in Utah apparently took place on the J. N. Macomb expedition of 1859 (which generally followed the Old Spanish Trail), when J. S. Newberry collected dinosaur bones in the southeastern part of the state. F. V. Hayden's 1870 survey may have extended into northernmost Utah. It is possible that a few of the Eocene age fossils which were reported by him from southernmost Wyoming, came from here. Fossils collected during the Hayden survey prompted a vertebrate fossil collecting trip headed by J. Leidy into the same area two years later. Also in 1870, O. C. Marsh discovered and named the Uinta Basin, making a significant fossil vertebrate collection there. Numerous Eocene mammals as well as reptiles and fish were collected in the Basin proper, while a turtle shell and dinosaur teeth were recovered from the upturned Mesozoic beds on the eastern rim of the Uinta Basin. A Jurassic crocodile humerus was found by Marsh along the eastern flank of the Uinta Mountains. In subsequent years before the turn of the century several institutions sent paleontological parties into this area. E. D. Cope in 1880 identified fossil fish and a crocodile from Eocene deposits of central Utah. Pleistocene mammals were first reported by P. A. Chadbourne (1871) and C. King (1878) from Salt Lake and Utah valleys. While early expeditions for vertebrate fossils concentrated largely on adjacent states, many of America's prominent 19th Century vertebrate paleontologists collected fossils in Utah. Their work pioneered the way for present-day paleontologists.

Abstract:

Abstract Additional studies have been conducted to help verify the findings of previous investigations (cf. Murphy and Bennett, 1982) which indicated that spectral differences in short-period regional phases may be diagnostic of source type for Nevada Test Site (NTS) explosions and nearby earthquakes recorded at Tonto Forest Observatory in Arizona. Regional phase signals from two additional stations, the Uinta Basin Observatory array in Utah and the Blue Mountains Observatory array in Oregon, and from supplemental events, including aftershocks of the 1966 Caliente, Nevada, earthquake, have been analyzed. These stations are at epicentral distances of 430 to 530 km for Tonto Forest Observatory, 520 to 670 km for Uinta Basin Observatory, and 870 to 880 km for Blue Mountains Observatory, with the near ranges representing the distances to the Caliente source area and the far ranges to the average NTS source/receiver distances. This enhanced data base included 50 earthquakes within about 150 km of NTS and 35 NTS explosions recorded at one or more stations. The events cover a magnitude range from about 2.8 to 5.2 (mb), with the majority of earthquakes concentrated in the lower half of that range. The current investigation essentially corroborated our previous findings that comparison of simple, peak-amplitude measurements of regional P and Lg phases did not consistently discriminate between earthquakes and explosions. This discriminant breakdown appears to be related to variability in excitation of regional phases from similar sources which has been dramatically illustrated by observations from the 1966 Caliente aftershocks; these events produced large variations in the relative amplitudes of Pg and Lg signals even though the events were spatially restricted to a small zone. In contrast, the Lg spectral ratio discriminant measure, defined in the previous study, continued to provide reliable distinction between the earthquake and explosion sources for data observed at all three stations. The discrimination capability of the spectral ratio prevails in spite of the evident mechanism variability between earthquakes and shifts in the discrimination threshold between stations apparently related to attenuation differences along the propagation paths.

Abstract:

To better understand oil and bitumen generation and migration in the Paleogene lacustrine source rocks of the Uinta Basin, Utah, analyses of 182 oil samples and tar-impregnated intervals from 82 core holes were incorporated into a well-established stratigraphic framework for the basin. The oil samples are from the U.S. Geological Survey Energy Resources Program Geochemistry Laboratory Database; the tar-impregnated intervals are from core holes drilled at the Sunnyside and P.R. Spring-Hill Creek tar sands deposits. The stratigraphic framework includes transgressive and regressive phases of the early freshwater to near freshwater lacustrine interval of Lake Uinta and the rich and lean zone architecture developed for the later brackish-to-hypersaline stages of the lake. Two types of lacustrine-sourced oil are currently recognized in the Uinta Basin: (1) Green River A oils, with high wax and low β-carotane contents thought to be generated by source rocks in the fresh-to-brackish water lacustrine interval, and (2) much less common Green River B oils, an immature asphaltic oil with high β-carotane content thought to be generated by marginally mature to mature source rocks in the hypersaline lacustrine interval. Almost all oil samples from reservoir rocks in the fresh-to-brackish water interval are Green River A oils; however four samples of Green River A oils were present in the hypersaline interval, which likely indicates vertical migration. In addition, two samples of Green River B oil are from intervals that were assumed to contain only Green River A oil. Tar sand at the P.R. Spring-Hill Creek deposit are restricted to marginal lacustrine and fluvial sandstones deposited during the hypersaline phase of Lake Uinta, suggesting a genetic relationship to Green River B oils. Tar sand at the Sunnyside deposit, in contrast, occur in marginal lacustrine and alluvial sandstones deposited from the early fresh to nearly freshwater phase of Lake Uinta through the hypersaline phase. The Sunnyside deposit occurs in an area with structural dips that range from 7 to 14 degrees, and it is possible that some tar migrated stratigraphically down section.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag untersucht anhand einer Ereignisanalyse von 1973 bis 2005, weshalb Uinder die Konvention Nr. 138 der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation ratifizieren, die Kinderarbeit untersagt. Die Ratifizierung internationaler Konventionen ist bedeutsam, da sie eine Anerkennung weltgesellschaftlicher Normen darstellt. Die Konvention gegen Kinderarbeit ist besonders interessant, weil sie sehr konkrete Anforderungen an die Länder stellt, ihre Arbeitsmarktgesetze und -strukturen Zu verändern und somit sozioökonomische Kosten nach sich ziehen kann. Weltgesellschaftliche Argumente des Neoinstitutionalismus der Stanforder Schule bestätigend, wird quantitativ-empirisch gezeigt, dass die Ratifizierung wenig von ökonomischen Merkmalen eines Landes oder dessen außenpolitischem Kalkül geprägt wird, wie es die Entwicklungsliteratur und die realpolitische Perspektive der Internationalen Beziehungen nahe legen. Vielmehr prägen globale Diskurse und Initiativen, die durch weltweit agierende Organisationen in die Länder getragen werden, nationalstaatliches Ratifizierungs-verhalten nachhaltig. Wesentlich hierfür sind die organisatorische Einbindung eines Staates in die Weltgesellschaft und weltgesellschaftliche Ereignisse. Es zu folgern, dass UN-Organisationen und Konferenzen sowie NGO-Aktivitäten nicht als „talk shops“ abzutun sind, sondern die Anerkennung weltgesellschaftlicher Normen durch Staaten erheblich vorantreiben können.

Abstract:

Abstract A downslope windstorm on 1 December 2011 led to considerable damage along a narrow 50-km swath at the western base of the Wasatch Mountains in northern Utah. The strongest surface winds began suddenly at 0900 UTC, primarily in the southern portion of the damage zone. Surface winds reached their peak intensity with gusts to 45 m s−1 at ~1600 UTC, while the strongest winds shifted later to the northern end of the damage swath. The northward shift in strong surface winds relates to the rotation of synoptic-scale flow from northeasterly to easterly at crest level, controlled by an evolving anticyclonic Rossby wave breaking event. A rawinsonde released at ~1100 UTC in the midst of strong (&gt;35 m s−1) easterly surface wind intersected a rotor and sampled the strong inversion that surmounted it. The windstorm’s evolution was further examined via Weather Research and Forecasting Model simulations initialized from North American Mesoscale Model analyses ~54 h before the windstorm onset. The Control model simulation captured core features of the event, including the spatial extent and timing of the strongest surface winds. However, the model developed stronger mountain-wave breaking in the lee of the Wasatch, a broader zone of strong surface winds, and a downstream rotor located farther west than observed. A second simulation, in which the nearby east–west-oriented Uinta Mountains were reduced in elevation, developed weaker easterly flow across the Wasatch during the early stages of the event. This result suggests that the Uinta Mountains block and steer the initial northeasterly flow across the Wasatch.

Abstract:

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, 1996<br>South African and American public rock art sites are in a predicament. In both countries, there is a lack of an adequate, theoretically informed but practically implementable, conceptual approach to presenting these sites. This lack leads to the reproduction of stereotypes of rock art and the indigenous people who made it. This thesis suggests a way of rectifying the present situation. It is argued that any suggested reconstruction of public rock art sites must recognise that they are implicated in identity-formation. Following this premise, a strategy, entitled metaphoric pilgrimage, is suggested, developed and applied to four rock art sites - two in South Africa and two in America.

Abstract:

In high-rate failure models for geological and rock-like materials, heating due to inelastic deformation is often neglected or accommodated incompletely through the use of an isentropic elastic response. However, for realistic prediction of geomaterials response to high-rate large deformations with significant released energy (such as buried explosive), dissipation caused by the initial mechanical work of the blast wave results in a non-negligible entropy generation that must be accounted for in constitutive modeling. In this study, thermal effects in the vicinity of a buried explosive in partially saturated soil are investigated using the Jones-Wilkins-Lee (JWL++) detonation model of High Explosive (HE) material, along with coupled multiphysics balance equations in an open-source massively parallel computational framework (Uintah) via Material Point Method (MPM) and Implicit, Continuous fluid, Eulerian (ICE) for compressible multi-material formulation of fluid-structure interactions (including highly pressurized explosive gaseous products). The temperature is allowed to evolve according to thermo-plasticity equations (derived from dissipation inequalities and basic conservation/thermodynamics laws) and thereafter, the state of internal variables (porosity, entropy, yield stress, etc) and stress in the partially saturated soil are determined for the obtained temperature. In order to account for material hardening from pore collapse, a yield surface based on Gurson’s upper bound theory evolves with stress, temperature, and internal state variables in plastic phase. Comparisons of soil response to blast loading are provided to quantify the importance of thermal effects. Furthermore, geomaterials develop anisotropy in their response to deformation caused by prompt high-pressure shock waves. Thermodynamic admissibility implies that the fourth-order tangent stiffness tensor of geomaterials must develop a recoverable deformation-induced anisotropy (RDIA) even if the material is initially isotropic. This effect is significant for materials, like geomaterials, that have strongly pressure-sensitive strength. The degree of RDIA and the required additional terms in the form of deformation-induced anisotropy based on thermodynamics requirements in a high-temperature phenomenon are summarized for the region near the buried explosive source in partially saturated soil.
