Geometry and Construction of Upper Crustal Intrusions; Sawtooth Ridge, Henry Mountains, Southern Utah.
(East Carolina University, 8/5/2020)
The plumbing systems of volcanos are commonly constructed by interconnected, upper crustal sheet intrusions (i.e. dikes and sills). Active systems and the processes that contribute to their construction are difficult to ...
CHARACTERIZATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF FRACTURE PATTERNS IN DOMED SEDIMENTARY STRATA, PULPIT ARCH, HENRY MOUNTAINS, UTAH
(East Carolina University, 2020-01-10)
Fractures in sedimentary rock can be an important factor in influencing fluid migration in the subsurface. In high-porosity sandstones in the upper crust, deformation such as folding typically results in the production of ...
GROUNDWATER FLOW IN THE UPPER CASTLE HAYNE AQUIFER: NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS AND STRONTIUM ISOTOPIC INVESTIGATIONS
(East Carolina University, 2019-10-02)
The Castle Hayne Aquifer System (CHAS) is the most extensively used aquifer system in the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Heavy groundwater withdrawals from the Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer (UCH) have occurred since the 1960’s ...
NUTRIENT AND BACTERIA DYNAMICS OF PACKAGE TREATMENT PLANTS IN COASTAL CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)
Nutrient and bacteria enrichment problems are well documented in the waterways along North Carolina's coast. Surface and subsurface wastewater inputs have been documented as a source of these pollutants in a variety of ...
Morphology, Geologic History and Dynamics of Wimble Shoals, Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)
Barrier islands around the world protect estuaries and mainland areas, creating important habitat as well as environmentally and economically valuable property. Barrier islands represent 10%, of global shorelines and are ...
Origin and geochemical evolution of localized, high-ferrous-iron zones in the Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer, Beaufort County, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2017-04-19)
The Tertiary Upper Castle Hayne Aquifer (UCHA) is one of the most productive aquifers in North Carolina's Coastal Plain; however, localized zones containing high, dissolved-iron concentrations ([greater than]0.3 mg/L) are ...
Review and synthesis of the role of structural arches in the Brazilian Amazon lowlands
(East Carolina University, 2017-01-11)
In tropical South America, the interplay of tectonics, climate, and base-level influences terrestrial sedimentary processes of modern rivers and their antecedents, leading to transport of large volumes of sediment through ...
Back-Barrier Sediment and Hydrodynamic Processes: Insights from Rodanthe, NC
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)
Barrier islands are found around the world, and their geomorphic evolution is related to ocean and estuarine processes. Processes including sediment mobilization and shoreline evolution on both the ocean and estuarine side ...
The Relationship Between the Taghanic Unconformity and Marcellus Shale Production in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)
The Marcellus Shale, a geologic unit that extends from New York to West Virginia within the Appalachian region, is the source of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas due to organic-rich properties. The formation of the ...
DISTRIBUTION AND TAXONOMY OF MODERN BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA OF THE WESTERN SUNDA SHELF (SOUTH CHINA SEA) OFF PENINSULAR MALAYSIA
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-13)
This study investigates, for the first time, the distribution and taxonomy of modern benthic foraminifera from the western Sunda Shelf, southern South China Sea. The uppermost centimeter of 54 surface sediment samples ...
