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.

Imagine seeing the varied landscapes of the earth as they used to look throughout hundreds of millions of years of earth history. Tropical seas lap on the shores of an Arizona beach. Immense sand dunes shift and swirl in Sahara-like deserts in Utah and New Mexico. Ancient rivers spill from a mountain range in Colorado that was a precursor to the modern Rockies. Such flights of geologic fancy are now tangible through the thought-provoking and beautiful paleogeographic maps, reminiscent of the maps in world atlases we all paged through as children, of Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau.Ron Blakey of Northern Arizona University is one of the world's foremost authorities on the geologic history of the Colorado Plateau. For more than fifteen years, he has meticulously created maps that show how numerous past landscapes gave rise to the region's stunning geologic formations. Ancient Landscapes of the Colorado Plateau is the first book to showcase Blakey's remarkable work. His maps are accompanied by text by Wayne Ranney, geologist and award-winning author of Carving Grand Canyon. Ranney takes readers on a fascinating tour of the many landscapes depicted in the maps, and Blakey and Ranney's fruitful collaboration brings the past alive like never before.Features: More than 70 state-of-the-art paleogeographic maps of the region and of the world, developed over many years of geologic research Detailed yet accessible text that covers the geology of the plateau in a way nongeologists can appreciate More than 100 full-color photographs, diagrams, and illustrations A detailed guide of where to go to see the spectacular rocks of the region

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. By purposefully shifting the focus away from the national parks, this book introduces readers to the various public lands and protected areas that are as exciting and wonderful as any of the major parks. Unlike any other book published recently about the Plateau, this book not only acts as a source of great information and imagery, but as a practical guide and a true celebration of one of America’s most beautiful and endangered lands.

Excerpt from Colorado Plateau Region Except for the Archean and Algonkian formations at the bottom of the Grand Canyon the Colorado Plateau province is essentially a region of sedimentary rocks - a pile of Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Tertiary strata, chiefly sandstone, more than 10 000 feet (3, 050 meters) thick and exposed over an area exceed ing square miles (388, 500 square kilometers). The sedimentary beds of the region are representatives of broadly defined stratigraphic groups that extend northward in Utah to the Uinta (you-in' tah) Mountains, eastward into Colorado and New Mexico, southward to central Arizona, and westward beyond the utah-nevada boundary line. Like the Permian (kaibab) limestone that now constitutes the surface rock on both sides of the Grand Canyon, beds of Triassic, Jurassic, and Tertiary age, similar to those exposed in the cliffs of the High Plateaus and in buttes and mesas in northern Arizona, are believed to have been once continuous across the Colorado, providing a cover twice as thick as the present canyon is deep. The stratigraphic section exposed reveals evidence of extended intervals of earth movements and erosion. In the walls of the Grand Canyon the Algonkian beds rest on the eroded surface of a mountain range and are unconformably overlain by the Cambrian; the Ordovician and Silurian are lacking, the Devonian is present in patches only, and ancient surfaces of erosion are represented by unconformities at the base of the Redwall (mississippian) and the base and top of the Supai (permian). In the rocks that form the plateaus north and south of the Colorado there are unconformities of regional significance be tween the Kaibab (permian) and the Moenkopi (mo-en ko 'pi) (triassic), between the Moenkopi and the Shinarump (shin air 'ump) (triassic), and between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, besides breaks that indicate shorter lapses between other formations.
