Terrestrial Mercury Cycling in Northern Michigan: Honeysuckle Creek Watershed and Burt Lake (thesis)
Mercury (Hg), a potent environmental toxicant, affects the cognition and health of both human and aquatic ecosystem populations. Despite regulation-driven decreases in atmospheric mercury levels, Burt Lake is among the ...
Kink-Band and Velocity-Boundary Interference (thesis)
The established techniques for constructing and restoring balanced cross sections using flexural slip work well for modeling simple faults and folds, but these methods show weaknesses when applied to more complicated ...
δ13C and δ18O Analyses of Carbonate Concretions and Nodules and the Evidence for a Cretaceous Greenhouse (thesis)
The Aptian-Albian Torok Formation and Nanushuk Formation rocks of Slope Mountain, also known as the Marmot Syncline, have been interpreted to represent shallow marine, deltaic, and fluvial depositional environments. ...
Quaternary Erosional History of the St. Marys River, Western Virginia
The landscape between Vesuvius and Greenville Virginia records the history of competition between the Shenandoah-Potomac and Maury-James basins. The St. Marys River is the latest in a series of stream captures that appear ...
Microstructural and Lattice-Preferred Orientation Analyses of Ductile Shear Zones: Maggia Nappe, Switzerland
Microstructures of 24 samples and quartz lattice-preferred orientations (LPO) of 13 samples from the crystalline Maggia Nappe, Switzerland were measured in order to assess the deformation history, mechanisms, and conditions ...
Late Wisconsin Glacier Surface Elevations and Flow Directions from the Beartooth Plateau to the Clarks Fork Valley, Wyoming
During the Pinedale glaciation of the Late Wisconsin, an ice cap covered most of the land comprising the Beartooth Plateau and the highlands to the south, stretching to the Clarks Fork Valley in northwestern Wyoming. The ...
The Stratigraphic Relationship of the Catoctin, Unicoi and Harpers Formations Within a Fault-bounded Rift Basin in Central Virginia
Sediments deposited within a rift basin that is now situated in the Blue Ridge region of central Virginia include spilitic metabasalt, which exhibit pillow structures, alluvial slump deposits, fluvial channel sands, deltaic ...
Martian North Polar Crater Morphology: Implications for an Aquifer
Recent studies of martian north polar craters have suggested that they have more cavity fill than the global crater population, and that the morphology of the crater fill is in some cases-similar to pingo structures on ...
The Sedimentology of the Snowden Member of the Late Precambrian-Early Cambrian (?) Harper's Formation in Central Virginia
The Snowden Member is the thickest and most mappable of the quartzose sandstone units of the heterogeneous Harpers Formation, the middle unit of the late Precambrian-early Cambrian(?)
Chilhowee Group in central Virginia. ...
Influence of the Kingak Formation Ultimate Shelf Margin on Frontal Structures of the Brooks Range in National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska (thesis)
Well and seismic data in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) demonstrate that the Jurassic—Lower Cretaceous Kingak Shale is present throughout NPRA. Several southward progradational depositional sequences within ...
