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 ...
Possible Origins of the Livingston Fault Zone

Schneeflock, Robert Donald Jr. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1972)

The Livingston fault zone is restricted to the outcrop of the Selma Chalk of upper Cretaceous age in Sumter and Marengo Counties, Alabama. This zone is unique among Gulf Coastal Plain structures in that it contains many ...
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 ...
Environments of Deposition of the Norphlet Formation (Jurassic) in South Alabama

Wilkerson, Richard P. (University of Alabama Libraries, 1981)

In the western Gulf Coastal Plain area the Jurassic Norphlet Formation is typically characterized by non-marine and red bed lithofacies. In south Alabama the Norphlet consists of an updip conglomerate, a discontinous basal ...
Stratigraphy and Depositional Environments of Part of the Pennsylvanian Pottsville Formation in the Black Warrior Basin: Alabama and Mississippi

Sestak, Helen Maria (University of Alabama Libraries, 1984)

Determination of depositional environments is based on the interpretation of geophysical log signatures and the distribution of sandstones and coals. Most of these data have been obtained from dual induction and density ...
Depositional Systems in the Lower Part of the Pottsville Formation, Black Warrior Basin, Alabama

Engman, Mary Anne (University of Alabama Libraries, 1985)

Three depositional systems have been defined and named within the lower Pottsville Formation in the subsurface in Alabama: (1) the Fayette-Walker barrier system, (2) the Lamar marsh-lagoon system, and (3) the Pickens-Tuscaloosa ...
Depositional History of the Smackover Formation, Appleton Field, Escambia County, Alabama

Markland, Lisa Ann (University of Alabama Libraries, 1992)

Appleton field is situated across two northwest-southeast trending, pre-Mesozoic "basement" highs near the updip limit of the Smackover Formation in the northern portion of the Conecuh embayment. Smackover deposition at ...
Seismic interpretation and structural restoration of a seismic profile through the Southern Appalachian thrust belt under Gulf Coastal Plain sediments

Bailey, Ryan Michael (University of Alabama Libraries, 2007)

In the southern part of the Appalachian thrust belt, the thrust system is buried by Gulf Coastal Plain sediments; thus, directly studying this Paleozoic thrust belt is impossible. However, multi-channel seismic data and ...
Groundwater flow dynamics and contaminant transport to coastal waters under low recharge conditions: regional-scale study of the aquifer system underlying southern Baldwin County, Alabama

Murgulet, Dorina (University of Alabama Libraries, 2009)

This study examined the influence of drought conditions and increased hydrological stresses on the groundwater system flow dynamics, submarine groundwater discharge, and nitrate transport and discharge to the Gulf of Mexico. ...
Upper crustal shortening and forward modeling of the Himalayan fold-thrust belt along the Budhi-Gandaki river, central Nepal

Khanal, Subodha (University of Alabama Libraries, 2009)

Geologic mapping along the Budhi-Gandaki River in central Nepal reveals 6 significant structures: 1) South Tibetan Detachment system; 2) Main Central thrust; 3) Ramgarh thrust; 4) Lesser Himalayan duplex including the ...
Stromatoporoids and the Upper Devonian Alamo Impact Breccia of southeastern Nevada

Aul, Jeffrey L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Eleven species in 10 genera of stromatoporoids were identified from within and below the Alamo Breccia of southeastern Nevada, in an effort to determine the excavation depth of a bolide impact that occurred during the Late ...
Peruvian mollusk shells as multi-proxy archives: late Holocene upwelling variation and El Niño-induced biomineralization effects on trace elements

Etayo-Cadavid, Miguel Fernando (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

The purpose of this research is to characterize Peruvian upwelling during the late Holocene (last 2000 years) using molluscan proxies. Peruvian upwelling is a key component of El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle, an ...
Geochronology and pressure-temperature conditions of mid-to-lower crustal processes in a Cretaceous magmatic arc, Fiordland, New Zealand

Parker, Karen Ann (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Exposures of mid-to lower-crust in Fiordland contain evidence of high temperature and pressure processes occurring beneath magmatic arcs. This thesis presents new U-Pb zircon ages that constrain emplacement of the Malaspina ...
Finite element models for the deformation of the Askja volcanic complex and rift segment, Iceland

Dickinson, Haylee (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

The Askja volcanic complex and rift segment of Iceland's Northern Volcanic Zone has been continuously subsiding at an usually high rate for more than two decades. InSAR data compiled over the last decade reveal two patterns ...
Investigation of natural weathering processes and artificial treatment techniques in the attenuation of toxic metals from coal fly ash

Bhattacharyya, Sidhartha (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Coal fly ash contains high levels of hazardous trace elements such as As, B, Cr, Mo, Ni, Se, Sr and V, which may have a negative impact on the environment due to potential leaching by acid rain and groundwater. This study ...
The tectonic relationships of the Hillabee Chlorite Schist and the adjacent rock units in southern Cleburne County, Alabama

Hayes-Davis, Bertram (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Southern Cleburne county Alabama contains two defined litho-tectonic blocks separated by a large displacement thrust fault. The Talladega block is composed of low grade metamorphic rocks. Sericite Phyllites and Quartzites ...
Biostratigraphy, paleogeography, and paleoenvironments of the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) northern Mississippi Embayment

Ebersole, Sandy (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Most paleogeographic and paleoenvironmental reconstructions of the northern Mississippi Embayment during the Late Campanian (Late Cretaceous) illustrate a generalized gulf between central Mississippi and Arkansas stretching ...
Cenozoic landscape evolution of a post-compressional orogenic wedge: intermontane basin development and sediment dispersal patterns, Renova Formation, southwest Montana

Rothfuss, Jennifer L. (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Sediment pathways and landscape evolution are useful proxies for refining the current understanding of crustal and surficial processes that initiated Paleogene post-compressional demise of the Cordilleran orogenic wedge ...
Paleoclimate reconstructions over the last century from a tropical speleothem on Niue Island, South Pacific

Murgulet, Valeriu (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

The study examines the question whether speleothems from Niue Island (19°00'S, 169°50'W), a large carbonate platform located at the edge of West Pacific Warm Pool, can serve as archives of hydroclimate controlled by ...
