Tectonic evolution of the West Florida Basin, Eastern Gulf of Mexico

Gregg, Andrea Christine (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Basement geometry of the Eastern Gulf of Mexico developed following the breakup of Pangea and the opening of the Gulf of Mexico in Late Triassic time. Nine 2-D pre-stack depth migrated seismic profiles and a structural ...
Origin and development of the Apalachicola Basin

Hunter, Ian Stewart (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Seismic mapping, restorations and subsidence analysis suggest an initial phase of rifting created the Apalachicola Basin during Late Triassic-Middle Jurassic time. A later period of rifting occurred during Late Jurassic-Early ...
Subsurface fracture analysis using FMI logs: implications for regional state of stress prediction in the Black Warrior Basin, Alabama

Yildirim, Aycan (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

The Black Warrior Basin is a Paleozoic foreland basin located at the southern tip of the exposed northeast-trending Alleghanian fold-thrust belt. It is bounded by the northwest-trending Ouachita fold-thrust belt to the ...
Assessment of the petroleum generation potential of the Neal Shale in the Black Warrior Basin, Alabama

Legg, Joel Arthur (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

The Neal shale, the organic-rich interval of the Floyd Shale located in the Black Warrior Basin of Alabama and Mississippi, has attracted recent attention as a potential economic source of hydrocarbons. X-ray diffraction ...
Sclerochronological and geochemical study of modern and ancient Semele corrugata from North Coastal Peru

Wei, Jiexin (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Shell structure, growth patterns and oxygen isotope distributions were analyzed in <italic>Semele corrugata</italic>, a common bivalve mollusk from the Pacific coast of South America. Analyzed shell samples were collected ...
Structural, kinematic and geochronologic evolution of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt in Kumaun, Uttaranchal, Northwest India

Mandal, Subhadip (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

The Lesser Himalaya is a key tectonostratigraphic zone of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt; however, its poorly defined chronostratigraphy and erroneous stratigraphic correlations hamper the determination of valid structural ...
Seismic interpretation and structural analysis of the Alleghanian fold-thrust belt in Central Alabama

Cato, Craig (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

In the central part of the Alleghanian fold-thrust belt of Alabama, multi-channel seismic and well log data are used to analyze structural elements of the thrust belt. Six horizons were interpreted on the seismic data in ...
Geomorphological relationships through the use of 2-D seismic reflection data, Lidar, and aerial imagery

Alesce, Meghan Elizabeth (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Barrier Islands are crucial in protecting coastal environments. This study focuses on Dauphin Island, Alabama, located within the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) Barrier Island complex. It is one of many islands serving as ...
Effects of the 1982-1983 El Niño mega event on bivalve mollusk biomineralization

Nicosia, Alexandra Rose (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Marine bivalve mollusks are valued as climate change recorders due to predictable growth rates and the recording of the ambient seawater environment into their shells (e.g., temperature, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)). ...
Determining crustal thickness beneath the Transantarctic Mountains and the Wilkes Subglacial Basin using S-wave receiver functions

Kenyon, Lindsey M. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

The Transantarctic Mountains (TAMs) are a ~4,000 km long mountain range, with elevations up to 4,500 m, which separate East and West Antarctica. Given the lack of compressional structures in the TAMs, the origin for these ...
Using electrical resistivity tomography to calibrate seawater intrusion models along the Alabama Gulf Coast

Coburn, Nathan L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Numerical models (e.g., MODFLOW/SEAWAT) are commonly used to quantify the extent and magnitude of seawater intrusion (SI). Since coastal communities must account for SI into local aquifers, numerical models can be an ...
High resolution molecular characterization of photochemical and microbial transformation of dissolved organic matter in temperate streams of different watershed land use

Li, Xiaping (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

The objective of the present study was to provide better understanding of the effects of watershed land use on molecular composition of streamwater DOM and molecular transformations associated with photochemical and microbial ...
Enhanced-solubilization of multicomponent dense immiscible liquid in homogeneous porous media

Slavic, David (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Complex multi-component nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) mixtures can significantly limit the effectiveness of groundwater remediation. The use of enhanced-flushing technologies has emerged as a promising technique for the ...
Hydroclimate time-series archived in a 4300 year old stalagmite from Desoto Caverns (Alabama, USA)

Aldridge, David Edward (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Recently published climate studies have implicated the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) as the dominant factor modulating the precipitation in the regions adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico but ...
Aqueous geochemistry of a sulfurous freshwater spring: implications for sulfur cycling and resident microbial communities

Morrissey, Tacoma Nicole (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Blount Springs offers a sulfide-rich environment inhabited by a diverse microbial community in which to study the sulfur redox reactions and the microbially mediated processes via the analysis of sulfur isotopes of sulfide ...
Secondary ion mass spectrometer geochemical analysis of secondary infilled areas in stylaster erubescens;

Cobb, Robin Michele (University of Alabama Libraries, 2014)

Paleoceanographers utilize geochemical proxies, such as oxygen isotopic ratios (δ;18;O), that are recorded in coral colonies to reconstruct past ocean conditions. Massive hermatypic corals precipitate skeletal aragonite ...
Novel in-situ NAPL modification technique for persistent source-zone control and remediation

Mateas, Douglas Joseph (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

The remediation of groundwater contaminated due to NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquid) sources has been shown to be generally ineffective at reducing aqueous-phase NAPL concentrations to levels suitable for site closure. A ...
Impact of elevated dissolved CO_2 on aquifer water quality

Pugh, John David (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

Carbon capture and storage (CCS), specifically by means of geologic sequestration (GS), is a developing technology to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. This technology involves separating CO2 from flue gas and ...
Dissolution and mass flux from trichloroethene- and toluene- hexadecane multicomponent nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) mixtures

Padgett, Mark (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

Remediation efforts and contaminant transport predictions generally neglect the complicated dissolution and transport behavior associated with multi-component nonaqueous phase liquid (NAPL) sources. Therefore, it is important ...
Establishing cost effective methods to analyze a wide range of pharmaceutical compounds through laboratory scale experiments aimed at assessing fate and transport mechanisms in groundwater

Salome, Patrick Anthony (University of Alabama Libraries, 2015)

Pharmaceutical and organic wastewater contaminants have been increasingly detected in drinking water and groundwater supplies. A stepwise approach was used to determine a simple and cost effective method for testing various ...
