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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Petrology of the Alderson Formation (Mississippian) in Southeastern West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 1985-12)
The purpose of this research is to study in detail the Alderson and Greenville Formations, which have been treated previously only in general studies of the entire Greenbrier Group. The objectives of this thesis are: 1) ...
