Geometry and Progressive Development of a Shallow Crustal Intrusive Complex, Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)The Henry Mountains of southeastern Utah are five topographic domes, each of which is a separate mid-Tertiary shallow crustal intrusive complex comprised of a cluster of component igneous intrusions. The intrusions were ... -
Geophysical characterization of onsite wastewater treatment system effects on groundwater quality, eastern North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 1/13/16)Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWS) are a potential non-point source of pollution that can result in water quality degradation in groundwater and surface water. Locating OWS wastewater plumes in the subsurface often ... -
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 ... -
