Occurrence of Escherichia coli (E coli) and Enterococcus in shallow groundwater adjacent to onsite wastewater treatment systems in Washington, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have been identified as a potential source of microbial contamination of groundwater. Microbial indicators, such as E.coli and Enterococcus, are transported from these systems ...
Geology of the Castle Hayne Limestone in the Onslow Quarry, Richlands, NC
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The Eocene age Castle Hayne Limestone Formation on the coastal plain of North Carolina is found throughout Onslow County and is mined at the Onslow quarry south of Richlands. This study characterizes the geology of the ...
Examination of the 2011 Mississippi River Flood Deposit on the Louisiana Continental Shelf
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Floods can dramatically increase the sediment load supplied to continental margins, leading to greater and potentially geochemically unique deposition. The 2011 flooding of the Mississippi River and its discharge into ...
Atmospheric Distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Coastal Northern Gulf of Mexico, USA, Associated with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill occurred April 20, 2010 to July 15, 2010, releasing a surface slick of crude oil extending to ~176,000 km² in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Crude oil is comprised of thousands of organic ...
Stratigraphy and petroleum geology of the Alexander silstone in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Upper Devonian Alexander siltstone is an informally named drillers' unit that occurs throughout the eastern half of the gas-producing portion of the Appalachian basin. The Alexander is primarily a gas-producing unit ...
Transport of terrestrially derived nutrients along the Western Antarctic Peninsula, Anvers Island
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The mechanisms that supply Fe to the surface waters off the coast of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) play a key role in the global climate cycle by fueling primary production in this vast and globally important ...
Geochemistry and Genesis of Late Paleoproterozoic Banded Iron Formations and Metamorphosed Chemical Precipitates Spatially Associated with Pb-Zn Broken Hill-type Mineralization near the Broken Hill Deposit, Curnamona Province, Australia
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Banded and massive iron formations (IFs) and garnet- and gahnite-quartz rocks are spatially associated with the giant, late Paleoproterozoic, Pb-Zn-Ag Broken Hill sulfide deposit and hundreds of minor Broken Hill-type ...
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Valentines Iron Formation, Nico Pérez Terrane, Eastern Uruguay, and Significance for the Redox Conditions of Early Earth's Oceans
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Valentines Iron Formation of eastern Uruguay is one of three well-defined rock units that comprise the Valentines Formation, and is commonly interlayered with felsic and intermediate granulites. The iron formations ...
Timing, internal flow characteristics, and emplacement mechanisms of the intrusive sheet network on the southern margin of Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, southern Utah
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The exceptional 3-d exposures of the mid-Tertiary intrusive sheet network on the southern margin of Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, southern Utah, have undergone no syn- or post-emplacement deformation. The sills and ...
Geometry and construction history of a complex intrusive center in the shallow crust, Mount Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Large igneous intrusions grow from incremental emplacement of relatively small batches of magma. The Henry Mountains have been the subject of investigation because multiple, well-exposed intrusive centers are present on ...
