Geometry and Construction History of the Copper Ridge Laccolith, Mount Ellen, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Copper Ridge laccolith is an asymmetric tongue-shaped intrusion located on the southeastern margin of Mount Ellen in the Henry Mountains, Utah. The late-Oligocene to early-Miocene igneous rocks have no syn- or ...
The Contentnea Creek Granite : Constraints On Late Paleozoic Magmatism And Deformation, Eastern Piedmont Fault System, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Alleghanian orogeny is manifested in eastern North Carolina by dextral transpressional faulting on the Eastern Piedmont Fault system and spatially associated granitic magmatism. The Contentnea Creek granite in Wilson ...
Modern Sedimentation And Estuarine Shoreline Change Around Roanoke Island, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Croatan and Roanoke sounds in North Carolina (NC) are regions constantly undergoing geomorphic changes associated with sea-level rise, storm events, and anthropogenic modification. These estuaries are part of the larger ...
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 ...
Sorption of Ibuprofen to Coastal Plain Soils
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
The transport and fate of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems has become an area of concern in the environmental science community. Due to advances in analytical technology, ...
THE INFLUENCE OF FRACTURE CHARACTERISTICS ON GROUNDWATER FLOW SYSTEMS IN FRACTURED IGNEOUS AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS OF NORTH CAROLINA (USA)
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The yield of water wells drilled in crystalline rock aquifers is determined by the occurrence and interaction of open, saturated fractures which decrease with increased depth, outside of the influence of large-scale features ...
Morphology, Geologic History and Dynamics of Wimble Shoals, Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Barrier islands around the world protect estuaries and mainland areas, creating important habitat as well as environmentally and economically valuable property. Barrier islands represent 10%, of global shorelines and are ...
MAJOR AND TRACE ELEMENT CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GAHNITE FROM GRANITIC PEGMATITES AND A METAMORPHOSED MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSIT : SIGNIFICANCE FOR PEGMATITE FRACTIONATION AND DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN Li-RICH AND Li-POOR PEGMATITES
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Rare-element granitic pegmatites are common hosts to economic deposits of rare metals, including Li, Ta, and rare-earth elements, which are increasing in economic importance due to advancing technology. Gahnite (ZnAl₂O₄) ...
Decadal-scale evolution of a barrier island : Insights from storm overwash and shoreline change on Ocracoke Island, NC
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Eastern North Carolina has over 300 km of barrier islands that comprise the Outer Banks and act as an important buffer from the Atlantic Ocean and boundary to the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. These islands also draw ...
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 ...
