Plio-Pleistocene sediments and climates of the San Augustin Plains, New Mexico

چکیده
Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico.

The sediments of the Playa Lake are sensitive indicators of local climates that any change in climate, hydrology, and sedimentary environment will cause changes in the physical and chemical properties of the sediments. These sediments create a valuable and important archive with high resolution to examine these changes in the past. One method of studying climate change during quaternary and oft...

متن کاملModelled ocean changes at the Plio-Pleistocene transition driven by Antarctic ice advance
The Earth underwent a major transition from the warm climates of the Pliocene to the Pleistocene ice ages between 3.2 and 2.6 million years ago. The intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation is the most obvious result of the Plio-Pleistocene transition. However, recent data show that the ocean also underwent a significant change, with the convergence of deep water mass properties in the...
متن کاملThe middle Pleistocene Merced-2 and -3 sequences from Ocean Beach, San Francisco
The Merced Formation comprises a 2-km-thick shallow marine and non-marine succession that was deposited in a small transtensional basin along the San Andreas Fault during the late Pliocene to middle Pleistocene. The sediments dip between 10j and 80j to the northeast, and are locally disrupted by small faults. During tilting, the beds have been rotated into subparallelism with the San Andreas Fa...

In the Central IranianVolcanic Belt (CIVB), north-west of Shahre-Babak, in the area of Javazm, Dehaj and khabr, about 60 subvolcanic porphyritic dacitic to rhyodacitic domes (1-10 km2) are intruded into a variety of rock sequences from Mesozoic to Early Miocene in age. These rocks are a part of Dehaj-Sardoieh belt. The CIVB contains intrusive and extrusive rocks of Cretaceous-Quaternary age. Ge...
