• 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 

  Olree, Elizabeth (University of Alabama Libraries, 2018)

  Balanced cross sections present valid and admissible interpretations of surface and subsurface data. Thermochronologic and foreland basin provenance data are other aspects that must be adhered to when producing balanced ...
• Bulk chemical composition and mineral effects on grain conductivity and ice nucleation affinity of volcanic ash 

  Cloer, Shelby (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

  Volcanic lightning is a common phenomenon during explosive eruptions, occurring as vent discharges, near-vent discharges, and plume lightning. Plume lightning is most similar to thunderstorm lightning, where volcanic ash ...
• A comparison of continental extension estimates across the margins of the Woodlark Basin, Papua New Guinea 

  Nazlim, Berg (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)

  Previous studies have shown that depth dependent extension is common across rifted margins. A discrepancy exists between the estimates of extension made through whole lithosphere/crust vs fault heave calculations (for ...
• Source rock evaluation of the Paleocene Kirkkavak formation in the Haymana Basin, Central Anatolia, Turkey 

  Alkan Gun, Beril (University of Alabama Libraries, 2017)
