QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF 2D POROSITY AND PORE GEOMETRY BETWEEN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE BISCAYNE AQUIFER, FLORIDA, USING IMAGE AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Karst aquifers are vital sources of groundwater for domestic and industrial use in many parts of the world. To sustain rising population throughout the southeastern United States, karst aquifers are increasingly exploited ...
A comparison of watershed nitrogen loading and watershed nitrogen exports from on-site wastewater treatment systems and centralized sewer systems in the North Carolina Coastal Plain
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Elevated nitrogen (N) concentrations in groundwater may cause adverse effects to adjacent surface water bodies. In North Carolina, half of the residences use on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), yet they are typically ...
Spatial and Temporal Variability in Surficial Seabed Character, Waipaoa River Margin, New Zealand
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The Waipaoa River margin, located off the northeast coast of the North Island of New Zealand, provides an opportunity to examine shelf-wide sediment dynamics in a coastal setting. The region is characterized by a narrow ...
Macondo-1 well oil-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(East Carolina University, 2012-01-14)
Mesozooplankton (>200 mm) collected in August and September of 2010 from the northern Gulf of Mexico show evidence of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that ...
ECU researchers discuss risky oil spill clean-up
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Sampling in salt marshes for high resolution geological studies
(East Carolina University, 2011-01)
Video demonstrating how to take core samples for geological research into sediment formations.
Geophysical Detection of On-site Wastewater Plumes in the North Carolina Coastal Plain, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Nonpoint source pollution (NPS) continues to be the leading cause of water quality degradation in the United States. On-site wastewater systems (OWS) contribute to NPS; however, due to the range of system designs and ...
Foraminifera as indicators of hypoxia off Southwest Pass, Mississippi Delta, Gulf of Mexico?
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The continental shelf west of the Mississippi River Delta (the Louisiana Bight) experiences seasonal hypoxia that has been increasing in frequency since the second half of the 20th century due to anthropogenic influence. ...
EMPLACEMENT AND GROWTH OF LARGE COMPLEX INTRUSIONS IN THE SHALLOW CRUST, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Details of magma migration paths in the shallow crust are poorly understood, in part because there are few locations with well-preserved contacts of igneous intrusions and surrounding host rock. The exposures in the Henry ...
Hurricanes May Be Good for Gulf Oil Spill, Experts Say
(East Carolina University, 2010-06-30)
Part of an ongoing series on the environmental impacts of the Gulf oil spill.
