On the timing, fluid sources, and behavior of skarn formation : lessons from oxygen isotopes in skarn garnets of the North American Mesozoic Cordilleran arc
(2019-02-04)Skarns, the calc-silicate products of fluid-facilitated decarbonation reactions occurring at the interface of carbonate-bearing rocks and igneous bodies, are best studied for the base metals and ore minerals they often ... -
The structure of general relativity with a numerical illustration : the collision of two black holes
(1975)The splitting of spacetime into space and time is analyzed by abstract methods, coordinate methods, and numerical computer methods. General relativity is assumed to be the correct theory of gravity and the Einstein field ... -
Geology of Palm Valley quadrangle, Williamson County, Texas
(1951)This paper presents a geologic study of the outcropping Cretaceous and Quaternary formations in the Palm Valley Quadrangle, Williamson County, Texas. The Cretaceous system is represented by the Georgetown, Del Rio, Buda, ... -
Geological investigations at the southern tip of the Americas :the development of the Patagonian Orocline and uplift of the Cordillera Darwin metamorphic complex, southernmost Chile
(1993)The Patagonian Orocline is the 90° bend in the southernmost Andes between 50°S and 56°S. New paleomagnetic data indicate that the orocline is, at least in part, the product of tectonic rotation. Field work in the Beagle ... -
The structural and stratigraphic evolution of the Celtic Sea Basins, offshore Ireland
(1993)The Celtic Sea area, offshore southern Ireland, is underlain by several discrete rift basins, part of a larger set of such basins which developed marginal to the North Atlantic within the tectonic framework of Pangea ... -
Spatial pricing empirical evaluation of ride-sourcing trips using the graph-fussed lasso for total variation denoising
This study explores the spatial pricing discrimination of ride-sourcing trips using empirical data. We use information from more than 1.1 million rides in Austin, Texas, provided by a non-profit transportation network ... -
