INTRODUCTION The authors present IR spectra (0.9–2.5 μm) and narrowband photometry (3.0–3.5 μm) for low-albedo asteroids Ceres, Pallas, and Bamberga. The authors compare the major mineral absorption features to those found in primary carbonaceous chondrite matrix material (CCMM) and secondary alteration products. The observed differences between spectral reflectances between the three C-type as...

Since the Mars Science Laboratory’s (MSL), Curiosity Rover began its exploration of Yellowknife Bay in Gale Crater, it has discovered an array of basaltic and secondary mineral assemblages representative of deposition in environments ranging from aeolian sand dunes to habitable lacustrine settings. Recently, the molecular analysis of ChemCam data has shown that fluorine has been detected in mul...

The Bonaparte project is a multi-year bedrock mapping program initiated by the British Columbia Geological Survey during the 2000 field season. The project is focused on Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the northeastern part of the Bonaparte Lake (92P) map sheet (Figure 1). This area encompasses a northwest-trending belt of high mineral potential that includes ...

Received, May 25, 2006. Accepted, November 10, 2006. Creating transient lesions or inducing overt movements through the use of direct electrocortical stimulation (ECS), either extraor intraoperatively, has been an established practice in delineating eloquent cortex (3, 5, 26). This has been critical in minimizing the risk in neurological surgeries that involve seizure focus, tumor, or vascular ...

The Bonaparte project is a new multi-year bedrock mapping program of the British Columbia Geological Survey (BCGS) concentrating on Mesozoic arc volcanic and plutonic rocks of the Quesnel Terrane in the northeastern part of the Bonaparte Lake (92P) map sheet (Figure 1). The area encompasses a northwest-trending belt of high mineral potential that includes a number of interesting mineral occurre...
