(2017-05-12)The number of people in the correctional population has skyrocketed in recent decades, with the majority being supervised within the community after release. The female correctional population, which has historically been ... -
THE PACIFIC DECADAL PRECESSION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO TROPICAL PACIFIC DECADAL VARIABILITY IN CMIP6 MODELS
(2020-07-30)Persistent, multi-year shifts in atmospheric circulations and their associated influence on regional climates can have profound impacts on physical, biological, and socioeconomic systems. The Pacific Decadal Precession ... -
Pacifying the Tepehuanes from 1590 to 1642
(2017-12-15)In the sixteenth century, Spanish missionaries entered the northern frontier of Mexico in hopes of converting the “barbarous” native peoples of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Upon their arrival, they found a population of ... -
A PALEOCLIMATE AND PALEOFIRE HISTORY FROM THE EARLY PLEISTOCENE OF UNAWEEP CANYON, NORTHWESTERN COLORADO
(2024-05)Lacustrine systems capture high-resolution records of continental climate, including information on paleotemperatures, hydroclimate, and paleofire activity. An increasing number of studies have reported paleoclimate and ... -
Paleoecology of the Moreno Hill Formation (Turonian-Coniacian, Cretaceous) of New Mexico
(2023)The Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution was a period of diversification of all major terrestrial groups that coincides with the rapid evolution and establishment of angiosperms (flowering plants) that began ~125 million years ... -
Paleoenvironment, Depositional History, and Process Sedimentology of the Upper Guadalupian Yates Formation: Northwest Shelf, New Mexico
(2020-12)A vertical and lateral outcrop of the late Guadalupian upper Yates Formation is observed along Dark Canyon Road in Eddy County, New Mexico. This outcrop has revealed cyclical, highly dynamic mixed carbonate and siliciclastic ... -
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the Woodford shale with primary focus on water column structure
(2015-05-09)Twenty-nine Woodford Shale rock samples were acquired from the Wyche-1 core derived from the Wyche Farm Shale Pit, Pontotoc County, Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma. The TOC (total organic carbon) values ranged from 3.47-16.90 wt.%, ... -
