  Montiel Martin, Daniel Agustin (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an important source of natural and anthropogenic nutrients and contaminants in coastal waters. Nutrient inputs from SGD can cause or exacerbate eutrophication, hypoxia, seagrass ...
• Determining the unroofing history of basement rocks in a highly-extended terrain using new (U-Th)/He and Ar/Ar thermochronometry: an example from Central Death Valley, CA 

  Sizemore, Travis M. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  The Badwater turtleback (BWT) is one of three highly-exhumed antiformal structures along the western flank of the Black Mountains in Death Valley, California. To address longstanding questions about Cenozoic large-magnitude ...
• Recovery of crude oil from saturated porous media as a function of geochemistry and wetting-phase dynamics for multiple remediation flushing strategies 

  Booth, Joe (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  A comprehensive study was performed to evaluate the mechanisms controlling mobilization of trapped nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) crude oil as a function of wetting phase dynamics and geochemistry during enhanced-flushing ...
• Quantifying mass transfer processes in groundwater as a function of molecular structure variation for multicomponent NAPL sources 

  Abbott, Joe Boone (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  The presence of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) in soil and groundwater is difficult and expensive to remediate. Complications exist for remediation of multicomponent NAPL sources due to differences in dissolution behavior ...
• Reservoir characterization of the Hartselle Sandstone in the vicinity of Gorgas Power Plant, using amplitude variation with offset (avo) 

  Nguyen, Thu Anh (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  The Black Warrior Basin (BWB) contains prolific oil and gas reservoirs, which have been well characterized to the west of two major coal-fired power plants in Alabama. The Mississippian Hartselle Sandstone of the BWB is a ...
• Criteria for Distinguishing Pleistocene(?) Alluvial Terrace Deposits from the Coker Formation in the Cottondale, Alabama, Area 

  Wielchowsky, Charles Carl (University of Alabama Libraries, 1975)

  Field, textural, mineralogical, and geochemical data were collected from the Coker Formation of Cretaceous age and the alluvial terrace deposits of Pleistocene(?) age in the Cottondale area to determine those criteria that ...
• Seismic stratigraphic analysis using multiple attributes - an application to the f3 block, offshore Netherlands 

  Kabaca, Efkan (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Seismic stratigraphy analyzes the geological concepts of stratigraphy by identifying the seismic reflection termination patterns that may record stratal terminations such as onlaps, downlaps, erosional truncations, and ...
• Structural evolution of the northern Tuzgölü Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey 

  Ada, Melike (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Located between the Pontide Mountains to the north and the Tauride Mountains to the south, the Tuzgölü (Salt Lake) Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey, covers about 20,000 km2 area of low topographic relief (Figure 1). The ...
• Kinematic and flexural isostasy modeling in central nepal: using erosional, depositional, and cooling histories to validate a balanced cross section
