These originate American Indian Gallery, collection awarded University Arizona (UA) 2011. Made mid-twentieth century for K–12 and television markets, these 16 mm Kodachrome r...

The sedimentology and palaeogeography of some Devonian sedimentary rocks in southwest Ireland

POPULATION 127 unrelated female and 118 unrelated male volunteer donors, Southwest China.

This study examines the mtDNA diversity of the proposed descendants of the multiethnic Hohokam and Anasazi cultural traditions, as well as Uto-Aztecan and Southern-Athapaskan groups, to investigate hypothesized migrations associated with the Southwest region. The mtDNA haplogroups of 117 Native Americans from southwestern North America were determined. The hypervariable segment I (HVSI) portion...

The Bransfield Basin is a young (∼4 Ma) back-arc basin related to the remnant subduction of Phoenix Plate that once existed along entire Pacific margin Antarctic Peninsula. Based on recently deployed amphibious seismic network, we use ambient noise tomography obtain S-wave velocity structure in Central (CBB). Combining with stress field inverted from focal mechanisms, our images reveal CBB suff...
