Examination of Estuarine Sediment Dynamics : Insights from the Large, Shallow, Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System, NC, U.S.A.
(East Carolina University, 2014)This dissertation investigated the dynamics of estuarine shorelines in the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System (APES). Shoreline change is influenced by human activities (e.g., shoreline modification), and natural processes ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
