Geometry and construction history of a complex intrusive center in the shallow crust, Mount Pennell, Henry Mountains, Utah
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Large igneous intrusions grow from incremental emplacement of relatively small batches of magma. The Henry Mountains have been the subject of investigation because multiple, well-exposed intrusive centers are present on ...
Assessing the shallow groundwater system as a potential factor in generating storm-water runoff on a North Carolina barrier island
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The town of Emerald Isle, located in North Carolina's Outer Banks, experiences significant storm-water runoff and flooding problems during the fall and winter months. The topography of the island influences drainage patterns ...
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Valentines Iron Formation, Nico Pérez Terrane, Eastern Uruguay, and Significance for the Redox Conditions of Early Earth's Oceans
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Valentines Iron Formation of eastern Uruguay is one of three well-defined rock units that comprise the Valentines Formation, and is commonly interlayered with felsic and intermediate granulites. The iron formations ...
Timing, internal flow characteristics, and emplacement mechanisms of the intrusive sheet network on the southern margin of Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, southern Utah
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The exceptional 3-d exposures of the mid-Tertiary intrusive sheet network on the southern margin of Mount Hillers, Henry Mountains, southern Utah, have undergone no syn- or post-emplacement deformation. The sills and ...
THE INFLUENCE OF FRACTURE CHARACTERISTICS ON GROUNDWATER FLOW SYSTEMS IN FRACTURED IGNEOUS AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS OF NORTH CAROLINA (USA)
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The yield of water wells drilled in crystalline rock aquifers is determined by the occurrence and interaction of open, saturated fractures which decrease with increased depth, outside of the influence of large-scale features ...
Origin and geochemical evolution of localized, high-ferrous-iron zones in the Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer, Beaufort County, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-19)
The Tertiary Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer (UCHA) is one of the most productive aquifers in North Carolina's Coastal Plain; however, localized zones containing high, dissolved-iron concentrations ([greater than]0.3 mg/L) are ...
Nearshore mixing and nutrient delivery along the western Antarctic Peninsula
(2017)
The surface waters of the Southern Ocean play a key role in the global climate and carbon cycles by promoting growth of some of the world’s largest phytoplankton blooms. Several studies have emphasized the importance of ...
HOLOCENE PALEOENVIRONMENTAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUNDA SHELF, OFF NORTHEASTERN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
In order to understand Holocene paleoenvironmental evolution of the western Sunda Shelf (southern South China Sea), two gravity cores TER15-GC10A and TER15-GC9A were collected (2015) 33 and 37 km offshore of Kuala Terengganu ...
The Relationship Between the Taghanic Unconformity and Marcellus Shale Production in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)
The Marcellus Shale, a geologic unit that extends from New York to West Virginia within the Appalachian region, is the source of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas due to organic-rich properties. The formation of the ...
Source of saltwater intrusion in the Castle Hayne aquifer on the western part of Bogue Banks barrier island, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Saltwater intrusion is occurring in the confined Castle Hayne aquifer on the western part of the east-west trending barrier island of Bogue Banks, North Carolina. Of eleven municipal wells that are solely screened in the ...
