Mangrove Management Strategies for Social and Ecological Integrity
(2016)
This research seeks to determine if mangrove restoration projects successfully contribute to improved ecological and social well-being in case-studies from three different countries: Colombia, Vietnam, and Kenya. By comparing ...
Chronological Persistence of Acropora cervicornis at Coral Gardens, Belize (thesis)
(2016)
Acropora cervicornis (staghorn coral) is an important framework-building scleractinian coral that dominated many Caribbean reefs throughout the Pleistocene and Holocene. Acropora spp. suffered collapse throughout the ...
New constraints on the timing, rate, and style of exhumation of the Wood Hills and Pequop Mountains, Elko County, Nevada (thesis)
(2016)
In this study, zircon (U-Th)/He analysis is used to documents the timing, rate, and style of exhumation of the Wood Hills and Pequop Mountains, which are part of the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range metamorphic core ...
Aptian/Albian sediment volume and accumulation rates, Alaska North Slope and Beaufort shelf, from sequence stratigraphic interpretation and modeling (thesis)
(2016)
We present a regional sequence-stratigraphic interpretation of the Torok-Nanushuk clinothem in the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska (NPRA), Alaskan state lands and Beaufort shelf using 2-D seismic reflection data, ...
δ13C and δ18O Analyses of Carbonate Concretions and Nodules and the Evidence for a Cretaceous Greenhouse (thesis)
(2016)
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. ...
Can changes in the Larval Developmental Modes of Olivella in the Caribbean Neogene be used as a reliable productivity proxy? (thesis)
(2016)
The Closure of the Isthmus of Panama functions as an excellent natural experiment because of our knowledge of the geologic record and the changing environment that influence the temperature, salinity, nutrients, and ...
Terrestrial mercury cycling in Northern Michigan: Honeysuckle Creek watershed and Burt Lake (thesis)
(2016)
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 ...
High resolution isotope sclerochronology reflects seasonal cycle changes at Rocky Point, Belize between the last interglacial and present
(2016)
The last Pleistocene interglacial period is thought to be characterized by warmer temperatures, higher precipitation, higher sea level and lower ice volume than today due to different orbital forcing parameters at that ...
Playing the Dam Game: How a Proposed Hydroelectric Dam Could Trigger Central Asia's First Water War (thesis)
(2016)
In 2012, President Islam Karimov of Uzbekistan threatened to use military action against Kyrgyzstan if the Kyrgyz government went ahead with plans to build a large hydroelectric dam called Kambarata-1 and entrap a large ...
