In the South America, these events were concomitant with the progressive uplift of Andes cordillera causing significant paleogeographical and paleoenvironmental modifications. In the center-western region of the Amazônia, the palynologic and stratigraphic studies of Miocene Solimões Formation identified two facies associations, unconformably overlain by Pleistocene siliciclastic deposits of Içá Formation: 1) The Association 1- laminated pelite, characterized by grey pelites with concentration of organic matter, related to an lacustrine environment; and 2) Association 2 sandstone and pelite with heterolithic inclined stratification representative of a meandering fluvial system. The continental inflow is indicated by abundance of phytoclast and fresh water algae (Ovoidites). The Neomiocene age for the Solimoes Formation on the Coari region is indicated by occurrence of Echitricolporites spinosus (Superzone X sensu Muller et al., 1997) and confirmed by the presence of Echiperiporites akanthos, it doesn´t reach the Pliocene epoch. Reworked palynomorphs as Crassoretitriletes vanraadshoovenii and Grimsdalea magnaclavata, forms commonly found in the Mesomiocene, confirm the Neomiocene age and the erosive event during Mesomiocene. Additionally, the concomitant erosion of Paleozoic rocks of western border of Amazonas basin is indicated by abundant Neodevonian acritarchs. / O Mioceno representa um dos períodos da evolução da Terra caracterizado por pronunciadas mudanças climáticas e bioevolutivas associadas a expressivas transgressões marinhas. Na América do Sul, estes eventos foram concomitantes com o contínuo soerguimento da Cordilheira dos Andes causando significativas modificações paleogeográficas e paleoambientais no continente. Na região centroocidental da Amazônia, o estudo palinológico e estratigráfico de depósitos miocenos na Formação Solimões, identificou duas associações de fácies, recobertas discordantemente por depósitos pleistocenos da Formação Içá: 1) Associação 1- pelito laminado, caracterizada por pelitos cinza ricos em matéria orgânica, relacionada a um ambiente lacustre; e 2) Associação 2- arenito e pelito com estratificação inclinada heterolítica representativa de um sistema fluvial meandrante. O influxo continental é indicado pela ocorrência de fitoclastos e esporos de algas de água doce (Ovoidites). A idade neomiocena para a Formação Solimões na região de Coari é indicada pela ocorrência de Echitricolporites spinosus (Superzone X sensu Muller et al., 1987) e presença de Echiperiporites akanthos, que não atinge o Plioceno. Palinomorfos transportados como Crassoretitriletes vanraadshoovenii e Grimsdalea magnaclavata, formas comumente encontradas no Mesomioceno, confirmam a idade neomiocena e o evento erosivo durante o Mesomioceno. Além disso, a erosão concomitante de rochas paleozóicas da borda oeste da Bacia do Amazonas é indicada pela abundância de acritarcos neodevonianos retrabalhados.

12	Communicating science : developing an exhibit with scientists and educators Lemagie, Emily 28 October 2011 (has links) Outreach is a small, but significant component to modern research. Developing an exhibit for public display can be an effective way to communicate science to broad audiences, although it may be a less familiar method to scientists than writing papers or giving presentations. I outline the process of developing an interactive exhibit for outreach, and evaluate and discuss the effectiveness of a computer exhibit designed to communicate estuary currents and scientific modeling using Olympia Oyster restoration in the Yaquina Bay estuary as a theme. I summarize the results of this project in three primary recommendations: 1) exhibit developers should be deliberate in the decision to use a computer and only select this media if it is determined to be the best for communicating exhibit learning outcomes, 2) the design of visualizations to convey research results should be carefully modified from their scientific forms to best meet the exhibit learning outcomes and expectations of the exhibit audience, and 3) scientists should play an integral role in the development of scientific content-based exhibits, but their expertise, and the range of expertise from other members of the exhibit development team, should be strategically utilized. / Graduation date: 2012 Exhibit Exhibit Development Exhibit Design Education Marine Education Marine Interpretation Science Interpretation Informal Science Environmental Interpretation Environmental Outreach Science Education Communicating Science Estuary Interpretation Communication Outreach Science Outreach Free-Choice Learning Informal Education Informal Science Estuary Education Museum Exhibit Interactive Kiosk Computer Exhibit Computer Interface Interactive Touchscreen Kiosk Marine Science Exhibit Computer Display Interactive Exhibit Interactive Visualization Current Simulation Scientific Model Numerical Model Estuary Science Visitor Center Marine Science Center Visitor Behavior Museum Hatfield Marine Science Center Science Center Emily Lemagie Oregon Sea Grant Education Kiosk Educational Kiosk Computer Kiosk Science Communication Touchscreen Interface Backwards Design Tidulator Museum exhibits -- Oregon -- Newport Hatfield Marine Science Center
