Overshooting Convection in the Contiguous United States: Severe Hail Occurrence, Storm Top Characteristics, and Stratospheric Hydration
(2022-12-16)Deep convection that overshoots the tropopause have been recognized for its relevance to stratospheric composition and prolific severe weather production for decades. Notably, tropopause-penetrating storms can inject cloud ... -

P-harmonic morphisms, minimal foliations, and conformal deformations of metrics /
(2005)In this dissertation, we study p-harmonic morphisms and its interaction with minimal foliations and conformal deformations of metrics. We give several methods to construct non-trivial p-harmonic morphisms via conformal ... -
P-harmonic theory on ellipsoids with geometric applications.
(2006)In the first part of this thesis, we are interested in representing homotopy groups by p-harmonic maps with applications to minimal submanifolds of ellipsoids. In the second part, we discuss Liouville-type theorems for ... -
PABLITA VELARDE, HELEN HARDIN, AND MARGARETE BAGSHAW: THREE GENERATIONS OF ASSERTION, EXPRESSION, AND INNOVATION

PALEOMAGNETISM AS A TOOL FOR DETERMINING DIAGENETIC, DEPOSITIONAL, AND EROSIONAL EVENTS AS RECORDED IN SEDIMENTARY AND IGNEOUS ROCKS
(2014)Paleomagnetism is a useful means to study the depositional and diagenetic history of any formation. If a formation holds a geologically stable, ancient magnetization, the magnetization, and thus its origin, relates a ...
