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 ...
A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
Two gravity cores were collected from 43 km and 90 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu (western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea) at ~60 m water depth to characterize late Quaternary paleoenvironments by using bulk sediment ...
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 ...
A Petrologic and Diagenetic Study of the Onondaga Formation, New Jersey
(East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)
A petrologic investigation of the Onondaga Formation in New Jersey has never been conducted, although similar studies have taken place in the surrounding states of New York and Pennsylvania. Thirteen sample sites from the ...
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, ...
