... to evaluate the potential of commercially available high-resolution multispectral and hyperspectral imagery as a tool to detect levee slides. QuickBird, IKONOS, and CASI II imagery were used to evaluate a 20-mi (32-km) levee reach near Gunnison in Bolivar County, Mississippi. Field investigations were...

... the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast and one set of routes parallel to the Pacific Coast. These efforts included the 47th and 49th parallel route explored by Governor I. I. Stevens and Captain G. B. McClellan; the 41st and 42nd parallel route by Captains J. C. Fremont, Howard Stansbury, and Lieutenant E. G...

... and in a similar paleophysiographic setting (Laramide intermountain basin). Regional climate model results suggest that both basins received precipitation from a summer monsoon system originating over the Mississippi Embayment, but that precipitation amounts at the Utah site were less than half those found...

...) in the Gold Brick mining district of eastern Gunnison County, and by Crawford (1913) in the Monarch and Tomichi districts somewhat farther east. Burbank (1932) pointed out that the middle and upper members of the Tomichi formation in the Bonanza mining district of Saguache County most probably represented...

... of pelecypods, 13 of gastropods, three of cephalopods, one scaphopod, and several species of blastoids, crinoids, and arthropods. Shark teeth were also noted. By comparison with the fauna of the Mississippi Valley standard section, Hernon shows that the Paradise fauna ranges from the upper Meramec to about...

... served as a geologist on the Stansbury expedition in 1849, working under Gunnison in the Salt Lake area until their disagreement, after which he had gone to California (Goetzmann, 1959, p. 222). Blake also knew Agassiz, whom he secured to identify the shark’s teeth he found in California during...

... explorations of the trans-Mississippi West by military and civilian expeditions before the Civil War. Eleven of these researchers were specialists in invertebrate paleontology; Agassiz, Harlan, and Leidy studied fossil vertebrates; Bailey and Lesquereux investigated fossil plants; and Bailey, Dana, and Edwards...

...). In the USA, westward population expansion across the Appalachian Mountains faced many transportation difficulties. West of the mountains, the Ohio River emptied into the Mississippi, and thus the natural tendency would be to use these rivers and the port of New Orleans at the mouth of the Mississippi...

... intraslope minibasins, located approximately 12 mi (19 km) apart in Mississippi Canyon. Both fields illustrate important complexities of deep-water sedimentation. Analysis is based on the integration of wire-line logs, biostratigraphy, and a 378-mi 2 (979-km 2 ), three-dimensional seismic data set. Thunder...

There is also evidence that prairie dogs maintained natural grasslands and certain savanna habitats prior to their local extirpation (e.g., Weltzin et al. 1997 ). Wagner and Drickhamer (2004) found that colonies of Gunnison's prairie dog ( Cynomys...
