GROUNDWATER FLOW IN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER: NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPIC INVESTIGATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-10-02)The Castle Hayne Aquifer System (CHAS) is the most extensively used aquifer system in the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Heavy groundwater withdrawals from the Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer (UCH) have occurred since the 1960’s ... -
A high marsh transfer function for sea-level reconstructions in the southern Bay of Biscay.

The historical foundations of modern earth science education : using the power of history in earth science education
(East Carolina University, 2010)This project is part of a larger collaborative effort between science, math, and education departments at East Carolina University. The project aims to address the common science and mathematics deficiencies of many high ... -
Holocene Climate and Carbon Sequestration via Black Carbon Burial in Sediments
(East Carolina University, 2011)Fire, a global process that depends on climate, volcanic activity, vegetation and human practices is not constant through time and varies at decadal, centennial and millennial time-scales. Wildfires that result in burning ... -
Holocene Evolution of the Ocracoke Inlet Flood-tide Delta Region, Outer Banks, North Carolina
(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 Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Depositional Environments on the Sunda Shelf, Southwest South China Sea, using a Multidisciplinary Approach
(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
(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 ... -
A Holocene record of climate-driven shifts in coastal carbon sequestration
(2009)A sediment core collected in the mesohaline portion of Chesapeake Bay was found to contain periods of increased delivery of refractory black carbon (BC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The BC was most likely ...
