A multiproxy paleoenvironmental reconstruction of Late Quaternary marine sediments: Sunda Shelf, Southern South China Sea
Donovan, Bailey G. (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 ... -
A Petrologic and Diagenetic Study of the Onondaga Formation, New Jersey
McGee, Kelsey L. (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 ... -
A Pilot Scale Study of Denitrifying Bioreactors Paired with Phosphate Sorbents
Lindley, Ann Marie (East Carolina University, 2023-08-18)Denitrifying bioreactors are commonly utilized as a best management practice in agricultural systems to reduce nitrate in drainage waters. The USDA recommends the utilization of woodchips as a carbonaceous substrate to ... -
A re-examination of hydrothermal alteration and Fe-Ti oxide relationships in the Skaergaard Layered Mafic Intrusion, East Greenland
Cummings, Tiffany Lynn (East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Fractionation between Fe isotopes in igneous systems and hydrothermally-altered rocks is small but significant, and detailed petrographic understanding of rocks is needed to discern the origin of such fractionations. One ... -
Age and lake margin migration of Lake Phelps, Washington County, North Carolina
Holley, James K.(James Kevin) -
Back-Barrier Sediment and Hydrodynamic Processes: Insights from Rodanthe, NC
Cornette, Christopher J (East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)Barrier islands are found around the world, and their geomorphic evolution is related to ocean and estuarine processes. Processes including sediment mobilization and shoreline evolution on both the ocean and estuarine side ... -
BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL ASSEMBLAGE AND SEDIMENTOLOGICAL CHANGES WITHIN THE PLIOCENE YORKTOWN FORMATION, SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA
Spivey, Whittney E (East Carolina University, 2021-12-03)The Pliocene Yorktown Formation consists of four distinct lithologic units that record three marine transgressive sequences along the U.S. mid-Atlantic margin. The Sunken Meadow Member was deposited during the Zanclean ... -
CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRACTURE PATTERNS IN DOMED SEDIMENTARY STRATA, PULPIT ARCH, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
McDaniel, Matthew Scott (East Carolina University, 2020-01-10)Fractures in sedimentary rock can be an important factor in influencing fluid migration in the subsurface. In high-porosity sandstones in the upper crust, deformation such as folding typically results in the production of ...
