Holocene Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Change of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Understanding how coastal systems respond to changes in climate is becoming more important due to the current increased rate of sea-level rise and possible increased hurricane intensity in the future. While coastal ecosystems ...
A Record of Holocene Climate Change from the Sunda Shelf, South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Variations in the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) control weather and regional climate conditions in the heavily populated, agriculturally dependent regions of eastern and southeast Asia. The South China Sea (SCS), especially the ...
USING SEDIMENT ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY TO INTERPRET LATE HOLOCENE BARRIER ISLAND AND ESTUARINE EVOLUTION, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Deconvolving the relationship between meteorological and oceanographic phenomena and associated impacts to coastal systems is critical to understanding the future of coastal systems worldwide. North Carolina's barrier ...
Holocene Sedimentary Record from the Sunda Shelf off Peninsular Malaysia: Insights from Elemental, Isotopic and Bulk Sediment Magnetic Susceptibility Analyses
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-19)
Post-Last Glacial Maximum (since ca. 20,000 cal yr BP) sediments of the Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea) are generally thin, with the exception of incised valleys where thicker accumulations tend to occur. These ...
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 ...
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 ...
Extension of the Late Holocene Sea-Level Record In North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2015)
Future sea-level rise will dramatically affect coastal landscapes and populations. The coast of North Carolina (USA) is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise because its low-lying coastal plain is expansive, has a low ...
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 ...
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 ...
Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology of the Blue Monday Sandstone, Central West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The Upper Mississippian Blue Monday sandstone is a primarily gas producing unit found in several central West Virginia gas fields. The purpose of this study was to characterize the stratigraphy and petroleum geology as ...
