 Grand Staircase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grand Staircase is an immense sequence of sedimentary rock layers that stretch south from Bryce Canyon National Park through Zion National Park and into the Grand Canyon.
In the 1870s, geologist Clarence Dutton first conceptualized this region as a huge stairway ascending out of the bottom of the Grand Canyon northward with the cliff edge of each layer forming giant steps.
The major sedimentary rock units exposed in the Grand Canyon range in age from 2000 million to 600 million years and were deposited in warm shallow seas and near-shore environments.

 Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District
Clarence Dutton's magnificent tribute to the natural world is much more than a geological study and encompasses much more than the Grand Canyon.
Dutton’s Tertiary History remains arguably the most evocative and compelling geological writing ever done on the Grand Canyon region.
As Stephen J. Pyne observes in his foreword, Dutton “recast a rocky peninsula into geo-poetry, reshaped an amorphous panorama of Time into narrative History, and transformed an American scene into a universal symbol.” No one who has thrilled to the majesty of the Grand Canyon will fail to be moved by this timeless work.

 Literary History of the American West   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Dutton had the large grasp of King, as regards landforms and the immensities of geologic time, and a remarkably lucid style, complemented in Tertiary History by the equally remarkable artwork of William H. Holmes.
Dutton did not always abide by these strictures, but the stated respect for terrain-as-it-is reveals a certain emotional dedication; only a perfect purity on the part of the observer, a non-embellishing expression, could do justice to the unique landscape.
With Clarence Dutton, the western nature essay may be said to have reached the upper limit of the pictorial.

 125th - Articles - Science - USGS at Crater Lake for the past 100 years
Dutton spent nearly a month sounding its depths from the rowboat, using a lead weight and piano wire, and wondering at the forces that could create such a magnificent landscape.
In the more than 100 years since Dutton's historic first survey, a wide variety of scientists, using increasingly more sophisticated instruments, have come together and steadily unraveled the mystery of the demise of Mount Mazama and with it the formation of Crater Lake.
The colored region is shaded-relief bathymetry of the lake floor; the gray region is shaded-relief of the surrounding land.

 CLARENCE DUTTON: ISOSTASY AND GEOMORPHOLOGY REVISITED   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Claence Edward Dutton (1841-1912) was one of several scientists who laid the foundations of modern geology from their research in the American West during the late nineteenth century.
While his scientific acumen is evident in reports on the plateaus and canyons of the West, his name is still often linked with the concept of isostasy, a term he coined in 1889 to reflect the debate then raging concerning Earth's crustal equilibrium.
However, it was Dutton's description of the great denudation of the Colorado Plateau, rather than its isostatic implications, that came to influence geomorphology during the earlier twentieth century.

 Frenchman Mountain and the Great Unconformity   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
But when Dutton coined the term Great Unconformity he didn't yet know the age of the rocks on either side of the unconformity.
In his 1882 book Dutton refers to the Tapeats Sandstone (now known to be Cambrian in age) as "lower Carboniferous quartzites." At some places in the Grand Canyon the rocks beneath the Great Unconformity are Proterozoic sedimentary rocks of the Chuar and Unkar Groups.
Dutton suggested that the sedimentary rocks beneath the Great Unconformity in the Grand Canyon are "probably Silurian," and possibly younger.

 Pavant Mountains
As geologist Clarence Dutton noted, the distinctive mix of mountain and plateau country found in the Pavant Range gives the visitor a sense of wonder at the variety that abounds in the natural world.
The western half of the range is piled with volcanic peaks, thickly forested with aspen and conifers, and is reminiscent of the high peaks of the Great Basin.

A seminal work on the Grand Canyon, unsurpassed for its eloquence and authority, Dutton's magnum opus offers a new appreciation of the Canyon's grandeur as he leads readers among its castellated and cathedral-like peaks and ridges.
And while some of the science (i.e., interpretation) may have changed since Dutton's original study, the data that Dutton presents with both care and flair has not.
These were not added to the original book as flourishes; they were, in addition to their beauty, illustrations of the scientific and aesthetic points Dutton was making in the text.

 Hawaiian Volcanoes - Clarence E. Dutton
Hawaiian Volcanoes, written by Clarence Edward Dutton as part of the 1883 Annual Report of the U.S. Geological Survey, is the first comprehensive study of volcanism in Hawai'i.
It takes the form of an entrancing nineteenth-century "roadside geology" of the Big Island and much of Maui, combining Dutton's clear, elegant writing style with his eye for color and line and meticulously accurate observations of Hawai'i's people and landscape, as well as its geological phenomena.
A new foreword discusses the importance of Dutton's ground-breaking report and its influence on subsequent research on Hawai'i's volcanoes.
