Modeling the Effects of Projected Sea Level Rise on Water Quality in Coastal Bangladesh
(2015-05-04)
Climate models show that Bangladesh will experience high rates of change in temperature, precipitation, runoff, and local sea level rise rates by 2100. Sea level rise will result in the degradation of groundwater quality ...
Paleogeographic Reconstruction of Part of Eastern Gondwanaland:Petrofacies and Detrital Geochronologic Study of Permo-Carboniferousgondwanan Sequences of India and Bangladesh
(2014-08-19)
This study has been carried out focusing on petrofacies and geochronology of Permo-Carboniferous Gondwanan sequences of Barapukuria, Dighipara, and Khalaspir coal basins in the Bengal Basin and Jharia Basin in the Eastern ...
A Comparative Study of Site Response in Western Washington Using Earthquake Data
(2014-08-18)
Broadband and strong motion seismic data from three moderate to large earthquakes were used to determine site response characteristics in the Seattle and Tacoma, Washington, area. The three earthquakes chosen for analysis ...
The Study of Urban Heat Islands in the Birmingham and Auburn-Opelika, Alabama Urban Areas, Using Satellite and Observational Techniques
(2014-12-10)
Urban heat islands (UHI) are created by cities because buildings, impervious surfaces, energy and transportation, and reduced amounts of evapotranspiration increase temperatures compared to their rural surroundings. Because ...
Provenance and Composition of Impactite Sands; AU Drill Core #09-04, Wetumpka Impact Structure, Alabama
(2014-04-29)
The Wetumpka impact structure is a Late Cretaceous shallow-marine impact crater about 6 km in diameter located in central Alabama. The target consisted of Upper Cretaceous sediments that were unconformably overlying Piedmont ...
Two Alabama Case Studies for Remote Sensing of Water Resources
(2015-05-11)
Managing water resources is one of the main challenges for water resource managers. This thesis uses geospatial technologies to assist in monitoring water resources through two case studies that are of concern to both state ...
Geochronology and Geochemistry of Mid-Miocene Bonanza Low-Sulfidation Epithermal Ores of the Northern Great Basin, USA
(2008-09-09)
New high precision 40Ar/39Ar geochronology
conducted on previously undated deposits (or deposits with older, less precise K/Ar dates only), indicates that low-sulfidation epithermal Au-Ag mineralization in the northern ...
Tectonic evolution of a Caledonian-aged continental basement eclogite terrane in Liverpool Land, East Greenland
(2008-09-09)
Liverpool Land is located in an interior position within the East Greenland Caledonides. Due to the remoteness of the field locality, very little work has been published on the rocks and structures of Liverpool Land. The ...
40Ar/39Ar Ages of Muscovite from the Western Blue Ridge and Talladega Belt, Georgia and North Carolina
(2008-09-09)
Radiometric age constraints regarding the timing of metamorphism in the western Blue Ridge province of the southern Appalachians have been too limited or uncertain to enable broader correlation and understanding of Taconian, ...
Exhumation History of Caledonian Eclogites in Liverpool Land, East Greenland, and Comparisons with Eclogites in Norway
(2008-09-09)
Lithologic information and 40Ar/39Ar cooling dates are reported from a recently discovered high-pressure (HP) Caledonian eclogite terrane in Liverpool Land, East Greenland, its overlying hanging wall block, and an extensional ...
