Holocene Climate and Carbon Sequestration via Black Carbon Burial in Sediments
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Fire, a global process that depends on climate, volcanic activity, vegetation and human practices is not constant through time and varies at decadal, centennial and millennial time-scales. Wildfires that result in burning ...
Foraminiferal and Geochemical Evidence of Environmental Change in Response to Aquaculture in the Setiu Estuarine-Lagoonal System, Terengganu, Malaysia
(East Carolina University, 2013)
In many coastal communities, aquaculture is an important part of the local economy, though fish and shrimp farms may threaten habitats in these coastal systems. Aquaculture was introduced to the Setiu estuarine-lagoonal ...
ASSESSMENT OF MODERN SEDIMENT STORAGE IN THE FLOODPLAIN OF THE LOWER TAR RIVER, NORTH CAROLINA
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Rivers transport water, sediment, and other constituents from the continent to the sea, but in route material can often become stored temporarily or permanently. Along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, coastal plain ...
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 ...
Examination of the 2011 Mississippi River Flood Deposit on the Louisiana Continental Shelf
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Floods can dramatically increase the sediment load supplied to continental margins, leading to greater and potentially geochemically unique deposition. The 2011 flooding of the Mississippi River and its discharge into ...
Atmospheric Distributions of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Coastal Northern Gulf of Mexico, USA, Associated with the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill occurred April 20, 2010 to July 15, 2010, releasing a surface slick of crude oil extending to ~176,000 km² in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). Crude oil is comprised of thousands of organic ...
