This dating technique is useful in that it doesn't give the age of the rock itself, but the time it has been in its present location (ideally). During the Last Glacial Maximum a glacier from the Sawatch Range, Colarado expanded to the Arkansas River Valley to impound a large lake. Flood terraces identified down-valley have been the focus of this research to determine the flood timing. Mr. Young used the Be-10 method after collecting samples of boulders on the flood terraces.<br /><br />Hypothesis:<br />Clear creek and Pine creek glaciers crossed the Arkansas river, damming a large lake and terraces correlate to the Bull lake and Pinedale glaciations.<br /><br />Conclusions:<br />1. Terraces formed during the Pinedale Glaciation<br />2. There were four Pleistocene advances<br />3. 17.3 Ka is not in the morraine record<br />4. 15.2 Ka is unique<br />5. Be-10 dating is reliable<br /> - Be-10 saturation limit is ~10 Mavolcanogodlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06893651699811814751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938072783863516212.post-9937389684739516152008-10-31T10:34:00.001-04:002008-11-04T10:37:12.562-05:00Departmental Halloween FestivnessShame on those who didnt dress up ;)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirB0A7WYRm3_2J-akjApTdTIuTZc1f09h-qQUjB9cxiSxyAMWam6W6Z6TMRsVgtsexRChacIdmKqyURF-qKpAFlIW-LS6Q9z8kjxKTMrHC6DwiYIzfmj9g9ZCXn4TPsOGNcTXiGlSf3_M6/s1600-h/DSC_7044.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirB0A7WYRm3_2J-akjApTdTIuTZc1f09h-qQUjB9cxiSxyAMWam6W6Z6TMRsVgtsexRChacIdmKqyURF-qKpAFlIW-LS6Q9z8kjxKTMrHC6DwiYIzfmj9g9ZCXn4TPsOGNcTXiGlSf3_M6/s320/DSC_7044.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264826416627535490" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMP40hGQE2a35QitkPmfVSU-jAD9_LPw0KbOgVST2JFpNd2f7gVsJepHTa6TpkCAc37lws55yCcnkAL9-FC966WbNzPPfUzb19bPdRTyCGVoAB0xZKZDjF4xiOqYohL25BD_GJUh03nUS/s1600-h/DSC_7041.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMP40hGQE2a35QitkPmfVSU-jAD9_LPw0KbOgVST2JFpNd2f7gVsJepHTa6TpkCAc37lws55yCcnkAL9-FC966WbNzPPfUzb19bPdRTyCGVoAB0xZKZDjF4xiOqYohL25BD_GJUh03nUS/s320/DSC_7041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264826410891313394" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz93dn1kmLJmPOVw-XKP8ifSFX1KlqDPfnjchxqZYTdCDyZdKkPgi5gD-hEqDWSlb3OxsFlUX0xKsKmJw9RLPO5QYD95xxNKmQxLzHUc2B0d0nLSlvSV-3_d6lAIOymPg2WRpNtNYmlRY8/s1600-h/DSC_7040.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz93dn1kmLJmPOVw-XKP8ifSFX1KlqDPfnjchxqZYTdCDyZdKkPgi5gD-hEqDWSlb3OxsFlUX0xKsKmJw9RLPO5QYD95xxNKmQxLzHUc2B0d0nLSlvSV-3_d6lAIOymPg2WRpNtNYmlRY8/s320/DSC_7040.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264826394395876770" border="0" /></a>volcanogodlesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06893651699811814751noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938072783863516212.post-72770342528039773642008-10-19T10:40:00.001-04:002008-11-04T10:37:57.237-05:00Pumpkins Gone Wild!!Several crafty members of the UB GGSA got together October 18th to carve up some fun times and represent some Halloween holiday cheer.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjeMPkCWW71jt4oxxMkewzdWJJKZHiQ40TgbJabuEPZP5f_aXqhgykY-xpst9QJD-T9JasbheiYA5GPe1DJ7WZ6ucfiSBPY6gniTBvmf7-JZ8yJHgyWWsDjO25lq_3b0HQGKVuKnFr3lbd/s1600-h/DSC_6917.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjeMPkCWW71jt4oxxMkewzdWJJKZHiQ40TgbJabuEPZP5f_aXqhgykY-xpst9QJD-T9JasbheiYA5GPe1DJ7WZ6ucfiSBPY6gniTBvmf7-JZ8yJHgyWWsDjO25lq_3b0HQGKVuKnFr3lbd/s320/DSC_6917.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262588019343762194" border="0" /></a>Trevi and Nik prepare thier canvases...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbClzRivJvRcP_70dSyuotuBMzX8YuxNYHKbIkoSTwwinJdgTrFm4bVvKIOfjosxLjCHjmFdZLnSO1lKhsgZsQNR0LAlETfkWd7cgkorsZKD6StwsP83VnkNfiRSTJyWHLNBE-wB7Zi3pw/s1600-h/DSC_6928.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbClzRivJvRcP_70dSyuotuBMzX8YuxNYHKbIkoSTwwinJdgTrFm4bVvKIOfjosxLjCHjmFdZLnSO1lKhsgZsQNR0LAlETfkWd7cgkorsZKD6StwsP83VnkNfiRSTJyWHLNBE-wB7Zi3pw/s320/DSC_6928.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262588053372774066" border="0" /></a>Trevi's homage to Bacchus or the grad student's horn of plenty?

Eventually this will all be put on a website rather than a blog, but while that is being set up, this will function as a website.<br /><br />Sarah<br />Graduate Geology Club PresidentSarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03551647687204684459noreply@blogger.com0
