In this paper, the influence of Colorado cyclone airstreams on Midwestern snowfall is investigated using isentropic streamline maps for 5 cold season months. Results indicate that Colorado cyclones account for a minor percentage of Midwestern
snowfall events and amounts. When snowfall is induced by Colorado cyclogenesis, diffluence and instability in the cold sector portions of the cyclone are the dominant lifting mechanisms.
Colorado. He determines major gradients in vegetation variation by Bray-Curtis ordination and interprets the gradients by correlating ordination axis scores with the values of environmental variables measured at each site.

The AA. present evidence that indicates a limited advance of alpine glaciers occured in the Colorado Front Range Mountains during the Younger Dryas Chron. Sky Pond was selected for this study because it is situated directly downvalley from a moraine
with relative-age features similar to those of early Holocene to late Pleistocene glacial landforms in the Colorado Front Range.
