Macondo-1 well oil-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in mesozooplankton from the northern Gulf of Mexico
(2012)
Mesozooplankton (>200 μm) collected in August and September of 2010 from the northern Gulf of Mexico show evidence of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Multivariate statistical analysis revealed that ...
Oceanic loading of wildfire-derived organic compounds from a small mountainous river
(2008)
Small mountainous rivers (SMRs) export substantial amounts of sediment into the world's oceans. The concomitant yield of organic carbon (OC) associated with this class of rivers has also been shown to be significant and ...
Controls on Septic System Wastewater Treatment and Shallow Groundwater Quality in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2009)
Excess nitrogen and bacteria concentrations in coastal waters of North Carolina have led to eutrophic conditions, fish kills, and the closure of shellfish waters. Regulatory efforts by the state to reduce nitrogen and ...
The Devonian West Falls Formation, implications of sedimentation controlled by preexisting structures, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The Devonian (Frasnian) aged West Falls Formation in West Virginia contains gamma-ray signatures that have been interpreted to indicate sedimentation within a foreland (foredeep) basin. The West Falls Formation includes ...
Shoreline Change Within the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
Miocene Seismic Stratigraphy, Structural Framework, and Sea-Level Cyclicity: North Carolina Continental Shelf
(1982-12)
Preliminary interpretations of over 1000 km of high-resolution seismic reflection data, supplemented by over 100 9-m vibracores, have delineated the shallow stratigraphic and structural framework for several Miocene ...
Stratigraphy and Petrology of the Pungo River Formation, Central Coastal Plain of North Carolina
(1982-12)
Up to 30 m of phosphatic sediments of early and middle Miocene Pungo River Formation were deposited in the north-south-trending Aurora Embayment of North Carolina. These sediments thin to approximately 10 to 15 m over the ...
Synthesis of Phosphatic Sediment-Faunal Relationships Within the Pungo River Formation: Paleoenvironmental Implications
(1982-12)
The lower part of the Pungo River Formation in the Aurora Embayment (units A and B) consists of phosphorite sands and interbedded dolomites that grade southward into calcareous quartz sand (unit CC) associated with a ...
Cyclic Deposition of Neogene Phosphorites in the Aurora Area, North Carolina, and their Possible Relationship to Global Sea-Level Fluctuations
(1982)
The Neogene phosphorites in the Aurora Area occur within the Miocene Pungo River Formation (units A, B, C, and D) and the Pliocene Yorktown Formation (lower and upper units). These units are characterized by the following ...
Occurrence of Escherichia coli (E coli) and Enterococcus in shallow groundwater adjacent to onsite wastewater treatment systems in Washington, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have been identified as a potential source of microbial contamination of groundwater. Microbial indicators, such as E.coli and Enterococcus, are transported from these systems ...
