USING SEDIMENT ORGANIC GEOCHEMISTRY TO INTERPRET LATE HOLOCENE BARRIER ISLAND AND ESTUARINE EVOLUTION, NORTH CAROLINA, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Deconvolving the relationship between meteorological and oceanographic phenomena and associated impacts to coastal systems is critical to understanding the future of coastal systems worldwide. North Carolina's barrier ...
MAJOR AND TRACE ELEMENT CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF GAHNITE FROM GRANITIC PEGMATITES AND A METAMORPHOSED MASSIVE SULFIDE DEPOSIT : SIGNIFICANCE FOR PEGMATITE FRACTIONATION AND DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN Li-RICH AND Li-POOR PEGMATITES
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Rare-element granitic pegmatites are common hosts to economic deposits of rare metals, including Li, Ta, and rare-earth elements, which are increasing in economic importance due to advancing technology. Gahnite (ZnAl₂O₄) ...
Decadal-scale evolution of a barrier island : Insights from storm overwash and shoreline change on Ocracoke Island, NC
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Eastern North Carolina has over 300 km of barrier islands that comprise the Outer Banks and act as an important buffer from the Atlantic Ocean and boundary to the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. These islands also draw ...
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 ...
Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Genesis of the Valentines Iron Formation, Nico Pérez Terrane, Eastern Uruguay, and Significance for the Redox Conditions of Early Earth's Oceans
(East Carolina University, 2015)
The Valentines Iron Formation of eastern Uruguay is one of three well-defined rock units that comprise the Valentines Formation, and is commonly interlayered with felsic and intermediate granulites. The iron formations ...
A Record of Holocene Climate Change from the Sunda Shelf, South China Sea
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Variations in the East Asian Monsoon (EAM) control weather and regional climate conditions in the heavily populated, agriculturally dependent regions of eastern and southeast Asia. The South China Sea (SCS), especially the ...
SALINITY DISTRIBUTION IN A CHANNELIZED WETLAND AT EMILY AND RICHARDSON PREYER BUCKRIDGE COASTAL RESERVE, TYRRELL COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Emily and Richardson Preyer Buckridge Coastal Reserve is a low-lying, peatland-dominated freshwater wetland located in the southern Albemarle Estuarine System. The construction of an extensive canal network that ...
Holocene Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironmental Change of Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Understanding how coastal systems respond to changes in climate is becoming more important due to the current increased rate of sea-level rise and possible increased hurricane intensity in the future. While coastal ecosystems ...
Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology of the Blue Monday Sandstone, Central West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The Upper Mississippian Blue Monday sandstone is a primarily gas producing unit found in several central West Virginia gas fields. The purpose of this study was to characterize the stratigraphy and petroleum geology as ...
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 ...
