A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
Donovan, Bailey G. (East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Two gravity cores were collected from 43 km and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment ... -
Characterizing Coastal Subenvironments with Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages: Bear Island and Bogue Banks, North Carolina
Shmorhun, Nina Maria-Elena (East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ... -
DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF MODERN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE WESTERN SUNDA SHELF (SOUTH CHINA SEA) OFF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
Martin, Samuel Q. (East Carolina University, 2016-07-13)This study investigates, for the first time, the distribution and taxonomy of modern benthic foraminifera from the western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea. The uppermost centimeter of 54 surface sediment samples ... -
Extension of the Late Holocene Sea-Level Record In North Carolina, USA
Kegel, Jessica (East Carolina University, 2015)Future sea-level rise will dramatically affect coastal landscapes and populations. The coast of North Carolina (USA) is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise because its low-lying coastal plain is expansive, has a low ... -
Foraminifera as indicators of hypoxia off Southwest Pass, Mississippi Delta, Gulf of Mexico?
Tichenor, Hal Raymond, Jr. (East Carolina University, 2013)The continental shelf west of the Mississippi River Delta (the Louisiana Bight) experiences seasonal hypoxia that has been increasing in frequency since the second half of the 20th century due to anthropogenic influence. ... -
Foraminiferal and Geochemical Evidence of Environmental Change in Response to Aquaculture in the Setiu Estuarine-Lagoonal System, Terengganu, Malaysia
Thornberg, Hanna (East Carolina University, 2013)In many coastal communities, aquaculture is an important part of the local economy, though fish and shrimp farms may threaten habitats in these coastal systems. Aquaculture was introduced to the Setiu estuarine-lagoonal ... -
FORAMINIFERAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS OF THE CHESAPEAKE GROUP, CALVERT CLIFFS, MARYLAND, USA
Sutton, Seth Reid (East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)The long-term impact of climate and sea-level change on marine communities can be documented using the fossil record of well-studied, and widely distributed organisms such as benthic foraminifera. The Calvert and Choptank ... -
The foraminiferal signature of recent Gulf of Mexico hurricanes
Rabien, Katrina A. (East Carolina University, 2012)Down-core activities of ⁷Be, ²³⁴Th, and ²¹⁰Pb, as well as X-radiography, have indicated the existence of sediments deposited by hurricanes Ivan (2004), Katrina (2005), and Rita (2005) on the continental margin west of the ... -
GEOLOGY AND ORIGIN OF SAND RIDGES IN A BACK-BARRIER ESTUARY, PAMLICO SOUND, NORTH CAROLINA
Querry, Brian K. (East Carolina University, 2018-06-06)The Outer Banks of North Carolina have undergone significant geomorphic change, exhibiting varying degrees of barrier island continuity during the late Holocene. These changes affect the environmental conditions (salinity, ... -

Holocene Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Depositional Environments on the Sunda Shelf, Southwest South China Sea, using a Multidisciplinary Approach
Twarog, Michael R. (East Carolina University, 2018-08-22)The last glacial maximum, ca. 21,000 years ago, caused a fall in eustatic sea level of ca. 120 m below present. The low-gradient, shallow Sunda Shelf, Southeast Asia was subaerially exposed during this sea-level lowstand ... -
HOLOCENE PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNDA SHELF, OFF NORTHEASTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
Harrison, Emily I. (East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)In order to understand Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the western Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea), two gravity cores TER15-GC10A and TER15-GC9A were collected (2015) 33 and 37 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu ...
