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 ...
SALINITY DISTRIBUTION IN A CHANNELIZED WETLAND AT EMILY AND RICHARDSON PREYER BUCKRIDGE COASTAL RESERVE, TYRRELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve is a low-lying, peatland-dominated freshwater wetland located in the southern Albemarle Estuarine System. The construction of an extensive canal network that ...
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 ...
Examining Coastal Marsh Sedimentation In Northeastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Coastal marshes are critical environments that are ephemeral on geologic timescales. Understanding the dynamics that naturally maintain these systems is becoming increasingly important in the face of accelerated sea-level ...
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 ...
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 ...
