Book Synopsis The Colorado Plateau by : Charles Van Riper
Download or read book The Colorado Plateau written by Charles Van Riper and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretching from the four corners of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, the Colorado Plateau is a natural laboratory for a wide range of studies. This volume presents 23 original articles drawn from more than 100 research projects presented at the Sixth Biennial Conference of Research on the Colorado Plateau. This scientific gathering revolved around research, inventory, and monitoring of lands in the region. The book's contents cover management techniques for cultural, biological, and physical resources, representing collaborative efforts among federal, university, and private sector scientists and land managers. Chapters on cultural concerns cover benchmarks of modern southwestern anthropological knowledge, models of past human activity and impact of modern visitation at newly established national monuments, challenges in implementing the 1964 Wilderness Act, and opportunities for increased federal research on Native American lands. The section on biological resources comprises sixteen chapters, with coverage that ranges from mammalian biogeography to responses of elk at the urban-wildland interface. Additional biological studies include the effects of fire and grazing on vegetation; research on bald eagles at Grand Canyon and tracking wild turkeys using radio collars; and management of palentological resources. Two final chapters on physical resources consider a proposed rerouting of the Rio de Flag River in urban Flagstaff, Arizona, and an examination of past climate patterns over the Plateau, using stream flow records and tree ring data. In light of similarities in habitat and climate across the Colorado Plateau, techniques useful to particular management units have been found to be applicable in many locations. This volume highlights an abundance of research that will prove useful for all of those working in the region, as well as for others seeking comparative studies that integrate research into land management actions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado Plateau is America’s western treasure, home to the country’s highest concentration of national parks, monuments, wilderness areas, and state parks, and a near-endless bounty of wild, stunning landscape. Discovering the Colorado Plateau will explore this region through beautiful maps, full-color photography, and detailed descriptions of the area’s geography, history, and geology, as well as signature activities that encapsulate the best each locale has to offer.

Book Synopsis Historic Adventures on the Colorado Plateau by : Bob Silbernagel
Download or read book Historic Adventures on the Colorado Plateau written by Bob Silbernagel and published by History Press Library Editions. This book was released on 2018-05-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado Plateau is home to nearly thirty national parks, monuments and recreational areas. The unique geology, stunning rock formations, powerful rivers and numerous scenic canyons that compose such a striking region also made navigation difficult. Yet daring explorers braved the journey. Rock art and other artifacts are evidence of occupation thousands of years ago. Spanish explorers once trekked across this rugged terrain, seeking information on the native populace, religious converts and trade routes. In the frontier era, a trio of bandits discovered the value of good horses while fleeing for three hundred miles. Nearly a century after the gold rush, uranium fever brought another boom to the rugged reaches of the area in the 1940s. Supported by years of research, Bob Silbernagel traces the Colorado Plateau's intrepid inhabitants throughout history.

Book Synopsis Colorado Plateau 3 by : Charles Van Riper
Download or read book Colorado Plateau 3 written by Charles Van Riper and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly centered on the Four Corners region of the southwestern United States, the Colorado Plateau covers an area of 130,000 square miles. The relatively high semi-arid province boasts nine national parks, sixteen national monuments, many state parks, and dozens of wilderness areas. With the highest concentration of parklands in North America and unique geological and ecological features, the area is of particular interest to researchers. Derived from the Eighth Biennial Conference of Research on the Colorado Plateau, this third volume in a series of research on the Colorado Plateau expands upon the previous two books. This volume focuses on the integration of science into resource management issues, summarizes what criteria make a successful collaborative effort, outlines land management concerns about drought, provides summaries of current biological, sociological, and archaeological research, and highlights current environmental issues in the Four Corner States of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. With broad coverage that touches on topics as diverse as historical aspects of pronghorn antelope movement patterns through calculating watershed prescriptions to the role of wind-blown sand in preserving archaeological sites on the Colorado River, this volume stands as a compendium of cuttingedge management-oriented research on the Colorado Plateau. The book also introduces, for the first time, tools that can be used to assist with collaboration efforts among landowners and managers who wish to work together toward preserving resources on the Colorado Plateau and offers a wealth of insights into land management questions for many readers, especially people interested in the natural history, biology, anthropology, wildlife, and cultural management issues of the region.

Download or read book Glen Canyon written by Richard Holtzin and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-12 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Cathedral, as it was popularly referred to in those days (and still is) was inundated by Lake Powell not too long after the Glen Canyon Dam was built and in place (around 1967). By the early 1980s, that sprawling lake backed-up to nearly 200 miles (321 km), and some 125 side canyons and their respective scenic attractions (backcountry idyllic haunts) were covered by hundreds of feet of water. That compelling story is outlined in the original text published last year, depicting the before, during, and after phases relative to building the dam. In the sequel, the focus was entirely set on the most revered scenic icons of the Glen and meant to inform the reader what was sacrificed when the Bureau of Reclamation targeted Glen Canyon for the first large dam to be built in the upper basin of the Colorado River. Unfortunately, and some fifty years later, Lake Powell's environmental problems with continuing and unstoppable aggradation (i.e., sediment in-flow) has severely diminished the originally predicted lifespan of its basin (around 700 years), and likely this second largest artificial basin in America (next to Lake Mead being the first largest by volume) will last sixty or seventy years. The reason is that there is no feasible or economical way to remove the accumulating grayish gunk on the bottom of the lake. Again, that story is revealed in its entirety in Glen Canyon Before Lake Powell. Incidentally, Lake Mead's basin has already failed, and the fervor of the Bureau of Reclamation is to increase the basin's seriously diminished levels. Then again, Lake Powell showed similar signs by the early 1990s. Hence, the lake level is well over one hundred feet below the so-called full pool level of 1982. The "Cathedral in the Desert" text relates the essentials of what happened here, including human and natural history. Mostly, the text describes the incomparable beauty of this canyon niche's environs. The text also describes the before and after phases, including The Cathedral's unexpected appearance when the lake level dropped some 145 feet (44 m). That rare and serendipitous event happened in April 2005, and for a couple of weeks visitors, like myself got to see The Cathedral fully revealed. Hence, a complete view of its magisterial setting from the floor to the upper reaches hundreds of feet above this veritable shrine of the ages. Toward the middle of the month, the water level of the lake slowly elevated and toward the end of the month this peerless Glen Canyon shrine of the ages was, once again, engulfed by cold, clear water.

Book excerpt: "An engaging glimpse into a world both fascinating and fundamentally unknowable to those who aren't born into it." —R. E. BURRILLO, author of Behind the Bears Ears Craig Childs bears witness to rock art of the Colorado Plateau—bighorn sheep pecked behind boulders, tiny spirals in stone, human figures with upraised arms shifting with the desert light, each one a portal to the open mouth of time. With a spirit of generosity, humility, and love of the arid, intricate landscapes of the desert Southwest, Childs sets these ancient communications in context, inviting readers to look and listen deeply.
