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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Mineralogy and seasonal growth of South Pacific mussel valves

Jones, Christie Ann (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Choromytilus chorus and Aulacomya ater are among the most common mussel species in the South Pacific. However, little sclerochronological analysis has been conducted on them, even though they are found in both archaeological ...
Solute transport in aquifers characterized by small-scale preferential flowpaths: numerical modeling and field experimental studies

Bianchi, Marco (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Groundwater flow and solute transport are affected by the connectivity of high hydraulic conductivity (K) sediments. This research used numerical modeling and field experiments to assess and quantify connectivity and to ...
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 ...
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 ...
Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover facies characterization at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama

Ridgway, John Grayson (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

The Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover Formation is a shallow-marine carbonate unit in the subsurface of the U.S. Gulf Coast, spanning from south Texas to west Florida. This field case-study focuses on Little Cedar Creek ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
High resolution, U/Th dated (32,000 to 11,000 years), oxygen and carbon isotope proxy climate records from a stalagmite in Desoto Caverns, Alabama, USA

Lambert, William Joseph (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

This study addresses the question whether speleothems from DeSoto Caverns (Childersburg, AL) can serve as archives of paleoclimate conditions for the Southeast, USA. The focus of the study involves determining present-day ...
A high-resolution hydroclimate record of the last three millennia from a cored stalagmite at Desoto Caverns (Alabama, USA)

Dhungana, Rajesh (University of Alabama Libraries, 2010)

Late Holocene climate changes in the Southeast USA are poorly documented due to the paucity of high-resolution paleo-records. This study provides high-resolution records of rapid hydroclimate changes in the Southeast over ...
