Mars was most active during its first billion years. The core, mantle, and crust formed within ∼50 million years of solar system formation. A magnetic dynamo in a convecting fluid core magnetized the crust, and the global field shielded a more massive early atmosphere against solar wind stripping. The Tharsis...

Brent M. Troutman, Patrick Edelmann, Russell G. Dash
2005, Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5063
In the mid-1990s, the Colorado Division of Water Resources (CDWR) adopted rules governing measurement of tributary ground-water pumpage for the Arkansas River Basin. The rules allowed ground-water pumpage to be determined using one of two approaches?power conversion coefficient (PCC) or totalizing flowmeters (TFM). In addition, the rules allowed a PCC...

Radioisotopic and biostratigraphic age relations in the Coast Range Ophiolite, northern California: Implications for the tectonic evolution of the Western Cordillera
John W. Shervais, Benita L. Murchey, David L. Kimbrough, Paul R. Renne, Barry Hanan
2005, GSA Bulletin (117) 633-653
The Coast Range ophiolite (CRO) in northern California includes two distinct remnants. The Elder Creek ophiolite is a classic suprasubduction zone ophiolite with three sequential plutonic suites (layered gabbro, wehrlit-pyroxenite, quartz diorite), a mafic to felsic dike complex, and mafic-felsic volcanic rocks; the entire suite is cut by late mid-oceanic-ridge...
A review of the genus Eclipidrilus (Annelida: Clitellata: Lumbricul-idae), with description of a new species from western North America
Steven V. Fend
2005, Zootaxa (969) 1-42
Eclipidrilus pacificus n. sp., from northwestern USA, is distinguished from other Eclipidrilus by having a single atrium with midventral male pore, small penis, prostomium without a proboscis, and non-spiraling atrial musculature. Most populations also differ from congeners in having paired spermathecal pores anterior to the ventral chaetae, but specimens from the Columbia River have...

Extraordinary movements of the Denali caribou herd following the perfect storm
2005, Rangifer (25) 19-25
Although historic literature is replete with anecdotes about atypical and far-reaching movements of caribou(Rangifer tarandus granti) herds in Alaska, very few such events have been described since the late 1970s proliferation of radio telemetry studies in the region. In September 1992, several herds in Alaska made unusual...
