Roadside Geology of Oregon, 2nd Edition
Roadside Geology of Oregon, 2nd Edition - Book
MPP008
When the first edition of Roadside Geology of Oregon was published in 1978, it was revolutionary the first book in a series designed to educate, inspire, and wow nongeologists. Back then, the implications of plate tectonic theory were only beginning to shape geologic research and discussion. Geologists hadn t yet learned that Oregon s Klamath and Blue Mountains were pieces of far-traveled island arcs and ocean basins that had been piled against the growing North American continent. Steaming volcanoes, ghost forests, recent landslides, and towns heated with geothermal energy attest to Oregon s still-prominent position at the edge of an...

Roadside Geology of Alaska, 2nd Edition
Roadside Geology of Alaska, 2nd Edition - Book
MPP001
The biggest US state is full of superlatives. Denali, the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet, is still rising, pushed upward as a tectonic plate collides from the south. The collision has also created huge mountains along Alaska s Gulf Coast, where humid coastal air has produced the largest subpolar icefield in North America. The exceptional heights of Alaska s mountains are mirrored below sea level by the 22,377-foot-deep trench of the active subduction zone along Alaska s southern shore. Earthquakes associated with the subduction zone shake Alaskans frequently, and the magnitude 9.2 earthquake in 1964, with its epicenter in...

The Charcoal Forest: How Fire Helps Animals and Plants
The Charcoal Forest: How Fire Helps Animals and Plants - Book
MPP021
After a fire, you might think a burned area is as barren and lifeless as the moon. But take a closer look and you'll find that even before the last wisps of smoke have cleared, the newly burned forest is already teeming with life.

Focusing on the Northern Rocky Mountains of the United States and Canada, the book describes twenty species...
