Characterizing Coastal Subenvironments with Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages: Bear Island and Bogue Banks, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)
North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ...
Holocene Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Depositional Environments on the Sunda Shelf, Southwest South China Sea, using a Multidisciplinary Approach
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-22)
The last glacial maximum, ca. 21,000 years ago, caused a fall in eustatic sea level of ca. 120 m below present. The low-gradient, shallow Sunda Shelf, Southeast Asia was subaerially exposed during this sea-level lowstand ...
A re-examination of hydrothermal alteration and Fe-Ti oxide relationships in the Skaergaard Layered Mafic Intrusion, East Greenland
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)
Fractionation between Fe isotopes in igneous systems and hydrothermally-altered rocks is small but significant, and detailed petrographic understanding of rocks is needed to discern the origin of such fractionations. One ...
IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF BULK ROCKS AND Fe-Ti OXIDES FROM THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, SE GREENLAND
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-23)
Small, but significant fractionation of Fe isotopes occurs in high-temperature igneous rocks. Despite increasing study, the exact causes of this fractionation are still debated. Therefore, a systematic study of a complete ...
CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRACTURE PATTERNS IN DOMED SEDIMENTARY STRATA, PULPIT ARCH, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-10)
Fractures in sedimentary rock can be an important factor in influencing fluid migration in the subsurface. In high-porosity sandstones in the upper crust, deformation such as folding typically results in the production of ...
GROUNDWATER FLOW IN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER: NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPIC INVESTIGATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-10-02)
The Castle Hayne Aquifer System (CHAS) is the most extensively used aquifer system in the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Heavy groundwater withdrawals from the Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer (UCH) have occurred since the 1960’s ...
Geometry and Construction of Upper Crustal Intrusions; Sawtooth Ridge, Henry Mountains, Southern Utah.
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The plumbing systems of volcanos are commonly constructed by interconnected, upper crustal sheet intrusions (i.e. dikes and sills). Active systems and the processes that contribute to their construction are difficult to ...
SAVE Currituck Sound : Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Evaluation in Currituck Sound, NC
(East Carolina University, 2020-06-22)
NUTRIENT AND BACTERIA DYNAMICS OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANTS IN COASTAL CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
Nutrient and bacteria enrichment problems are well documented in the waterways along North Carolina's coast. Surface and subsurface wastewater inputs have been documented as a source of these pollutants in a variety of ...
Morphology, Geologic History and Dynamics of Wimble Shoals, Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Barrier islands around the world protect estuaries and mainland areas, creating important habitat as well as environmentally and economically valuable property. Barrier islands represent 10%, of global shorelines and are ...
