Late Holocene evolution of Currituck Sound, North Carolina, USA : environmental change driven by sea-level rise, storms and barrier island morphology
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Coastal evolution is an increasingly important area of study, especially with the projected rise in sea level, increase in storm intensity, and population increases along the nation's coasts. In order to predict how the ...
The foraminiferal signature of recent Gulf of Mexico hurricanes
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Down-core activities of ⁷Be, ²³⁴Th, and ²¹⁰Pb, as well as X-radiography, have indicated the existence of sediments deposited by hurricanes Ivan (2004), Katrina (2005), and Rita (2005) on the continental margin west of the ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Geology of the Castle Hayne Limestone in the Onslow Quarry, Richlands, NC
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The Eocene age Castle Hayne Limestone Formation on the coastal plain of North Carolina is found throughout Onslow County and is mined at the Onslow quarry south of Richlands. This study characterizes the geology of the ...
QUANTITATIVE COMPARISON OF 2D POROSITY AND PORE GEOMETRY BETWEEN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE BISCAYNE AQUIFER, FLORIDA, USING IMAGE AND GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Karst aquifers are vital sources of groundwater for domestic and industrial use in many parts of the world. To sustain rising population throughout the southeastern United States, karst aquifers are increasingly exploited ...
Spatial and Temporal Variability in Surficial Seabed Character, Waipaoa River Margin, New Zealand
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The Waipaoa River margin, located off the northeast coast of the North Island of New Zealand, provides an opportunity to examine shelf-wide sediment dynamics in a coastal setting. The region is characterized by a narrow ...
Macondo-1 well oil-derived polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(East Carolina University, 2012-01-14)
Mesozooplankton (>200 mm) 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 ...
