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 ... -
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, ... -
Geophysical Detection of On-site Wastewater Plumes in the North Carolina Coastal Plain, USA
Smith, Matthew (East Carolina University, 2014)Nonpoint source pollution (NPS) continues to be the leading cause of water quality degradation in the United States. On-site wastewater systems (OWS) contribute to NPS; however, due to the range of system designs and ... -
Holocene Evolution of the Ocracoke Inlet Flood-tide Delta Region, Outer Banks, North Carolina
Smith, Caroline Faulkner (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Numerous studies have been conducted along the Outer Banks (OBX) barrier islands of North Carolina to address Holocene climatic change using a combination of lithological, micropaleontological, stratigraphical, and ... -
Holocene Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Change of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
Zaremba, Nicholas (East Carolina University, 2014)Understanding how coastal systems respond to changes in climate is becoming more important due to the current increased rate of sea-level rise and possible increased hurricane intensity in the future. While coastal ecosystems ... -
Late Holocene evolution of Currituck Sound, North Carolina, USA : environmental change driven by sea-level rise, storms and barrier island morphology
Moran, Kelli (East Carolina University, 2012)Coastal evolution is an increasingly important area of study, especially with the projected rise in sea level, increase in storm intensity, and population increases along the nation's coasts. In order to predict how the ... -
Quaternary Evolution of North Core Sound Sound, North Carolina
Dietsche, Andrew (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Northern Core Sound is a shallow lagoonal estuary located behind the Outer Banks barrier islands of eastern North Carolina. Thirty-two vibracores and 155 km of chirp and boomer seismic data have been used to define the ... -
Quaternary Geologic Evolution of the Croatan Beach Ridge Complex, Bogue Sound, and Bogue Banks, Carteret County, NC
Best, Kelly M. (East Carolina University, 2010)Foraminiferal, lithologic, chronostratigraphic, and geophysical data were utilized to describe the Quaternary geologic evolution of the Croatan Beach Ridge Complex, Bogue Sound, and Bogue Banks. The Croatan Beach Ridge ...
