40Ar/39Ar Dating of Detrital Muscovite and Sediment Compositional Analysis of the Pottsville Formation in the Black Warrior basin in Alabama: Implications for Tectonics and Sedimentation

Moore, Mitchell (2012-11-05)

The Greater Black Warrior basin, including the Cahaba and Coosa synclinoria and the Black Warrior basin, contains the thickest preserved accumulation (ca. 2 km) of sediment in the Appalachian-Ouachita foreland. 40Ar/39Ar ...

Analysis of a drill core from the central uplift of Flynn Creek impact structure, Tennessee

Adrian, David (2017-04-25)

Flynn Creek impact structure is a small, asymmetric marine impact structure located in north-central Tennessee that formed when a hypervelocity impact occurred in an ancient shallow marine environment, with the target ...

Analysis of Mudrock Lithofacies and Hydrocarbon-Source Potential of the Middle Ordovician Athens Shale, Alabama Fold and Thrust Belt

Daymond, Phillip (2017-04-18)

Lithologic, petrologic, and geochemical studies were performed on the Ordovician Athens Shale, with a focus on a 140-ft-thick core section recovered near Calera, Alabama, supplemented by observations of limited outcrop ...

An analysis of sediment provenance for Carboniferous sandstones in the Ouachita-Arkoma Basin based on detrital muscovite 40Ar/39Ar geochronology and sediment composition

Thompson, Jacob (2019-12-04)

The Arkoma-Ouachita Basin of southeast Oklahoma and central Arkansas, part of the vast Appalachian-Ouachita foreland system, evolved from a passive margin deep-water remnant ocean basin (Ouachita) between Laurentia and ...

Analysis of the Potential for Carbon Sequestration in the Subsurface Tuscaloosa Group, Southwestern Alabama

Lopez-Rivera, Nora (2021-08-23) ETD File Embargoed

In this project, the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous Tuscaloosa Group of the subsurface of an area in southwestern Alabama has been analyzed for carbon sequestration purposes. While collecting the ...

Bioremediation of an Arsenic-Contaminated Site, Using Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria, Bay County, Florida

Saffari Ghandehari, Shahrzad (2016-08-05)

In this study an in-situ bioremediation field demonstration project using sulfate-reducing bacteria was conducted at an As-contaminated site, in Bay County, Florida. The background levels of As ranged from 0.13 to 0.34 ...

Bioremediation of Arsenic Contaminated Groundwater in Northwest Florida: Mineralogy, Geochemistry, and Microbiology Changes

Levitt, Eric (2017-04-21)

This research demonstrates that the stimulation of natural sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in groundwater can precipitate biogenic pyrite nanoparticles that play an active role in sequestering dissolved arsenic from ...

Characterization and hydrocarbon potential of the Lower Permian Wolfcamp Formation, northwestern Mitchell County, Midland Basin, Texas

Calhoun, Zachary (2018-12-10)

Lithologic, petrologic, and geochemical analyses were performed on the Wolfcamp Formation (operational benches A and B), with a focus on a 400-ft-thick core recovered from wildcat well Strain 2V (API 42-335-53586) in ...

A Comparative Study of Site Response in Western Washington Using Earthquake Data

Keshvardoost Jobaneh, Ruhollah (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 ...

Detrital Zircon U-Pb Age Constraints on the Sandstone Provenance of the Upper Cretaceous Eutaw Formation from Central Alabama to Western Georgia

Barrett, Michael (2020-05-11)

Sandstone provenance analysis of the Tombigbee Sand Member and Eutaw Formation is vital to discerning source material of clastic detrital sediments found in eastern Alabama and western Georgia along the Upper Cretaceous ...

Early modification stage dynamics of shallow crater-filling units, Wetumpka impact structure, Alabama

Heider, Erik (2015-05-07)

Wetumpka, Alabama, USA is the site of a Late Cretaceous, marine-target impact crater structure located on the inner Coastal Plain of Alabama. During Late Cretaceous, Wetumpka was located offshore from a barrier-island ...
