Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ... -
The Devonian West Falls Formation, implications of sedimentation controlled by preexisting structures, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2012)The Devonian (Frasnian) aged West Falls Formation in West Virginia contains gamma-ray signatures that have been interpreted to indicate sedimentation within a foreland (foredeep) basin. The West Falls Formation includes ... -
Diagnostic Foraminifera and Paleocology of the Pungo River Formation, Central Coastal Plain of North Carolina
(1982-12)Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of the Pungo River Formation (middle Miocene) from the central North Carolina Coastal Plain indicate deposition in continental shelf environments. In Beaufort and Pamlico Counties, part ... -

Effects of Urbanization on Stream-Riparian Zone Connection along Low Order Coastal Plain Streams of North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)Headwater stream reaches, vital areas of exchange between upland and aquatic systems, are commonly affected by stream burial because they constitute a large fraction of total stream length and are more economically feasible ... -
El registro geológico de la transformación ambiental de la ría de Bilbao durante el Holoceno y el Antropoceno
(San Sebastian, Spain : Sociedad de ciencias aranzadi zientzi elkartea, 2009)The northeastern coast of Spain is characterized by Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary rocks forming high cliffs interrupted by short, narrow estuaries that are separated from the open sea by sandbars, beaches and dune deposits. ... -
