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 ...
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 ...
Quaternary Evolution of North Core Sound Sound, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
Northern Core Sound is a shallow lagoonal estuary located behind the Outer Banks barrier islands of eastern North Carolina. Thirty-two vibracores and 155 km of chirp and boomer seismic data have been used to define the ...
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 ...
THE MARCELLUS SHALE: EROSIONAL BOUNDARY AND PRODUCTION ANALYSIS, SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA, U.S.A.
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)
The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale is a natural gas producing formation that was deposited in the Appalachian foreland basin in what is now eastern North America. An unconformity truncates the Marcellus in southern West ...
Quantifying Dissolved Lignin Phenols in the Albemarle–Pamlico Estuarine System and Coastal North Carolina following the 2018 Hurricane Florence
(East Carolina University, 2022-08-19)
The global carbon cycle (GCC) involves the exchange and transformation of carbon across the ocean, atmosphere, and terrestrial reservoirs. It consists of a positive feedback loop involving dissolved organic matter in natural ...
