In Geek Love, Dunn proffers a vision of a human family -The Fabulous Binewskis- that moves from the American Dream into a postmodern paradigm. Through the study of the Binewski family's teratogenesis, the unconscious horror of the American Nightmare is brought to consciousness. The fixed construct of normalcy is thrown...
An effort has been made in this thesis to present the features of the geology, petrography, and ore deposites that were observed during the progress of the field work at Lake Albion and in the subsequent laboratory investigations.
The fieldwork consisted of mapping and collection of rock and mineral specimens....
The Carter lake area includes approximately thirtysquare miles along the foothills of the Front Range ofnorthern Colorado, between the Big Thompson and LittleThompson Creeks. More definitely the area includes sections22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27, east 1/4 sections 28 and33 of Township 5 north, range 70 west; and sections...
Since the first discovery of mineral in the Jamestown area, it has continuously added to the wealth of Boulder County in the production of gold, silver, lead, copper and fluorspar. The district is one of the few in the state that contains commercial deposits of fluorspar, and it proved to be...
The Rabbit Mountain area, as mapped and described in this report, includes twenty-four square miles of territory four miles east of Lyons and two miles north of Hygiene, Colorado. It is on the boundary line between Boulder and Larimer counties, and includes the northwest quarter of township three north and...
This work proposes a quotient-space formulation of diagnostic monitoring in physical systems. The central claim is that anomaly detection is not fundamentally a supervised classification problem in raw observation space, nor does it require identifying the full forward physical model, which may be unknown, nonlinear, high-dimensional, or impractical to...
The Canyonlands Dataset is a large-scale, multi-seasonal, multimodal field-robotics dataset for research on autonomous ecological monitoring and restoration of degraded rangelands. Data were gathered with a teleoperated Clearpath Husky ground robot across two field campaigns: May 2022 (early germination) and November 2022 (seed stage), at the Canyonlands Research Center near...
There is a rich literature of seismic vulnerability and fragility functions, only exceeded by the vast need for more. “Seismic vulnerability function” refers here to a probabilistic relationship between seismic excitation (e.g., shaking intensity) and loss (e.g., repair cost) for a particular asset (e.g., a building) or asset class (e.g.,...
Disaster scenarios provide insight into society’s disaster vulnerability that structural analyses and catastrophe risk models do not (and vice versa). The USGS Science Application for Risk Reduction (SAFRR) program constructed the SAFRR Tsunami Scenario, a hypothetical event resulting from an Mw 9.1 Alaskan earthquake, to help California communities with disaster...
