Source of saltwater intrusion in the Castle Hayne aquifer on the western part of Bogue Banks barrier island, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Saltwater intrusion is occurring in the confined Castle Hayne aquifer on the western part of the east-west trending barrier island of Bogue Banks, North Carolina. Of eleven municipal wells that are solely screened in the ...
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 ...
Characterizing Coastal Subenvironments with Modern Foraminiferal Assemblages: Bear Island and Bogue Banks, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)
North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ...
Holocene Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction of Depositional Environments on the Sunda Shelf, Southwest South China Sea, using a Multidisciplinary Approach
(East Carolina University, 2018-08-22)
The last glacial maximum, ca. 21,000 years ago, caused a fall in eustatic sea level of ca. 120 m below present. The low-gradient, shallow Sunda Shelf, Southeast Asia was subaerially exposed during this sea-level lowstand ...
EXAMINING THE IRON ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF OLIVINE IN THE SKAERGAARD LAYERED MAFIC INTRUSION, EAST GREENLAND
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-24)
Despite reports of significant fractionation of iron isotopes occurring under magmatic and hydrothermal conditions, the mechanisms that cause and control fractionation in magmatic systems remain poorly understood. Previous ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
