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 ...
North Carolina’s Coasts in Crisis: A Vision For The Future
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)
Past, Present and Future Inlets
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
The Influence of Aquaculture on Foraminifera and Sediment Properties in the Setiu Estuary and Lagoon of Terengganu, Malaysia
(East Carolina University, 2013)
In order to address how aquaculture has influenced the Setiu estuary and lagoon of northeast peninsular Malaysia, foraminifera, sediment grain-size, and carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios and abundances were analyzed in ...
An Integrated Method for Monitoring Material Transport in a Coupled Land-Estuary System Following a Dynamic Storm Event : The Neuse River and Estuary, NC and Hurricane Irene
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Coastal aquatic environments are complex and dynamic systems that are influenced by both marine and terrestrial processes such as waves, tides, winds and freshwater discharge. Rivers are conduits that transport freshwater ...
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 ...
Diagnostic Foraminifera and Paleocology of the Pungo River Formation, Central Coastal Plain of North Carolina
(1982-12)
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of the Pungo River Formation (middle Miocene) from the central North Carolina Coastal Plain indicate deposition in continental shelf environments. In Beaufort and Pamlico Counties, part ...
Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere
(2007)
Black carbon (BC), the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass (called elemental carbon (EC) in atmospheric sciences), was quantified in 12 different materials by 17 laboratories from different ...
VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY AND TAPHONOMY OF THE LATE CRETACEOUS (CAMPANIAN) BLADEN FORMATION, BLADEN COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2011)
A site recently discovered near Elizabethtown, North Carolina, has produced a wealth of late Cretaceous (Campanian) age vertebrate fossil material revealing a variety of new taxonomic, paleoecologic, and biogeographic ...
Impact of Hurricane Katrina (2005) on deltaic evolution and shelf organic carbon cycling
(2010)
Sediment cores from the continental shelf adjacent to the Mississippi River delta immediately after the passage of Hurricane Katrina were used to examine the magnitude, and implications for the carbon budget, of sediment ...
