| 2 |  | Three-dimensional forward modeling and inversion of magnetic induced polarization (MIP) data using the integral equation method | Feng, Shihang | Geophysics; Geology | The electrical induced polarization (EIP) method has been used in mineral exploration for over half a century, but its application was limited due to the relatively high cost involved and a requirement of using a galvanic source and receivers having a direct contact with the ground. In order to over... | 2018 |
| 3 |  | Reconstructing the Devils Castle Rock Avalanche, Albion Basin, Utah | Pedersen, Patricia | Geomorphology; Geology | Rock avalanches are high-magnitude, low-frequency mass wasting events characterized by high mobility and fluid-like runout motion.
