• Depositional Environment of the Tombigbee Sand Member - Mooreville Formation Contact at Selected Outcrops in Alabama 

  Britton, Thomas A. Jr. (The University of Alabama Libraries, 1968)

  A study was made of eighteen samples collected at four selected exposures of the contact of the Eutaw and Selma groups (Tombigbee Sand Member and Mooreville Formation) of Late Cretaceous (Austinian) age in central and ...
• Biostratigraphy of the Bluffport Marl Member of the Demopolis Chalk, Cretaceous of Alabama 

  Newman, Harry Ellsworth, III. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1969)

  The Bluffport Marl Member of the Demopolis Chalk was sampled to find what lithologic and paleontologic variations occur along the strike of this unit. The Bluffport Marl Member has been traced in Alabama from Sumter County ...
• Using thermochronology to test the validity of two balanced cross sections, Karnali River, far-western Nepal 

  Battistella, Claire (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  A balanced cross section provides a viable subsurface geometry; however, multiple subsurface cross section geometries may be possible to match the observed surface geology. Low-temperature thermochronologic data and ...
• Evaluating Himalayan tectonic models using the Almora-Dadeldhura klippe 

  Bosu, Somiddho (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  The Greater Himalayan klippen are erosionally isolated, thrust bounded rocks, overlying Lesser Himalayan rocks in the Himalayan thrust belt. Structural and thermochronological data gathered in the klippen illuminate how ...
• Structural evolution of the Central Tuzgölü Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey 

  Uyaroglu, Dilan Gizem (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  Anatolia, Turkey contains many interior basins located between the Pontide Mountains to the north and Tauride Mountains to the south. The largest of these basins is the Tuzgölü Basin, which has been the focus of many ...
• Seismic data decomposition using sparse dictionary 

  Liu, Rongchang (University of Alabama Libraries, 2019)

  Spectrum decomposition methods map 1D seismic trace into 2D plane of time and frequency. The decomposed frequency components of seismic trace are widely used to quantitatively predict the thickness of thin layers. The ...
• Are the mantle lithosphere and lower crust preferentially thinned during continental rifting? 

  Tew, Kalyn J. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Worldwide, estimates of extension in rift zones vary greatly depending on the method used to calculate the extension. This variability is the result of the discrepancy between different methodologies and may be the result ...
• Investigating ultra-low velocity zones at the core-mantle boundary beneath the Southern Hemisphere using an Antarctic dataset 

  Carson, Sarah (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  The core-mantle boundary (CMB) represents the largest absolute density contrast on our planet, and it is associated with significant heterogeneities. The CMB structure focused on in this study are ultra-low velocity zones ...
• Seasonality across the cretaceous-paleogene boundary: a high-resolution ontogenetic study of the Antarctic bivalve, lahillia larseni 

  Mohr, Rachel C. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  High-resolution ontogenetic stable isotope (δ18O and δ13C) analysis of accretionary carbonate bivalve shells can provide subannual records of their environments. These records present an opportunity to better understand ...
