Downtown Opelika, Alabama has recently marketed themselves as a, “Historic Railroad Town.” My research focuses on the process that Opelika has begun in effort to rebuild the downtown’s economy. The city of Opelika has ...
Petrofacies and Paleotectonic Evolution of Permo-Carboniferous Gondwanan Sequences of the Bengal Basin, Bangladesh
(2011-08-11)
The Indian subcontinent, along with Australia and Antarctica, constituted Eastern Gondwananland. Permo-Carboniferous Gondwanan sequences have been reported from several isolated basins of the Peninsular India. These ...
Remote Sensing of Shallow-Marine Impact Craters on Mars
(2009-02-23)
Impact craters are common on solid planetary bodies in our solar system and are one of the most important physical features from which the surface history of these planetary bodies can be deduced. Remote sensing is a ...
Geology, Petrology, and Geochronology of Rocks in the Our Town, Alabama Quadrangle
(2013-11-06)
The area of the 1:24,000 Our Town Quadrangle of east central Alabama is underlain principally by generally undifferentiated metasedimentary units, the Emuckfaw and Wedowee Groups, which have been intruded by major southern ...
Characterizing the Geological and Geochemical Properties of Selected Gas Shales and their Thermal Maturation in the Black Warrior Basin, Alabama
(2014-07-22)
This study will focus on selected gas shale’s, geological and geochemical properties in Alabama’s Black Warrior Basin, which contains Cambrian through Mississippian shales; these gas-shales that may potentially produce ...
Geochronology and structural geology of the Kjerringøy Peninsula, Nordland, Norway
(2014-10-30)
Field mapping, structural and petrographic analysis, ID-TIMS U-Pb geochronology, 40Ar/39Ar thermochronology, and chemical dating of minerals were employed to decipher the geologic history of the Salten area of north-central ...
Growth of Alabama Urban Areas and Its Impact on Changing Environmental Dynamics
(2014-07-11)
Urbanization plays a key role in modifying land cover and has widespread impact on the environment. Atlanta has always been the focus of urban studies in south-eastern United States. Little attention is given to urban areas ...
A Comparative Spatial Analysis of Two Communities from the Hickory Ground Site in Wetumpka, Alabama

This thesis presents analyses on the intra-site spatial arrangement of two communities from the Hickory Ground site, 1EE89, in Elmore County, Alabama. Spatially referenced archaeological datasets of a Protohistoric community ...
Evidence for a Possible Supervolcano on Mars at Siloe Patera
(2014-05-02)
Highlands on Mars interpreted as impact craters may instead be supervolcanoes
within an ancient volcanic province in Arabia Terra, Mars. These volcanoes are
characterized by lower than normal topographic relief, collapse ...
Trace Element and Hf-Nd Isotope Constraints on the Origin of Young Tengchong Volcanic Rocks, SE Tibetan Plateau
(2014-05-14)
Hafnium and neodymium isotope systematics in mafic volcanic rocks provide useful information about mantle source characteristics and processes. Hf and Nd isotope arrays are useful for identifying the types of subducted ...
