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 ... -
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 ... -
EXAMINING THE IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF OLIVINE IN THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, EAST GREENLAND
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)Despite reports of significant fractionation of iron isotopes occurring under magmatic and hydrothermal conditions, the mechanisms that cause and control fractionation in magmatic systems remain poorly understood. Previous ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
Foraminiferal and Geochemical Evidence of Environmental Change in Response to Aquaculture in the Setiu Estuarine-Lagoonal System, Terengganu, Malaysia
(East Carolina University, 2013)In many coastal communities, aquaculture is an important part of the local economy, though fish and shrimp farms may threaten habitats in these coastal systems. Aquaculture was introduced to the Setiu estuarine-lagoonal ...
