Geomorphic Analysis Of Stream Crossings In A Portion Of The Upper Cheat River Basin, Joshua A. White
Geomorphic Analysis Of Stream Crossings In A Portion Of The Upper Cheat River Basin, Joshua A. White
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
An inventory and analysis of culverts as vertebrate migration barriers has been completed in a relatively pristine portion of the Upper Cheat River basin, Randolph and Tucker counties, West Virginia. Investigators in four different disciplines contributed to the project, including the geomorphological research represented by this thesis. This project had an underlying purpose to assess the potential for stream mitigation credits through a possible future stream mitigation banking program.;Several conditions appear correlated with problem culvert sites. Calvin high base substratum-Belmont-Meckesville soil association is associated with the greatest amounts of instability and aggradation at culvert sites. Three-quarters of the study area …
Depositional Environments, Age, And Regional Correlation Of The Black Hand Sandstone Member Of The Cuyahoga Formation And The Lower Mississippian Of The Central Appalachians, David L. Matchen
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
The Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation of Ohio is a multistory, conglomeratic sandstone. Primary lithofacies include trough and planar crossbedded sandstones and massive gravels. The contact between the Black Hand and the surrounding Cuyahoga Formation is sharp and scoured indicating that the contact is an unconformity and sequence boundary. The Black Hand was deposited in a low-sinuosity braided stream within an incised valley system. The river that deposited the Black Hand flowed northward. The Lower Mississippian is subdivided into two sequences.;The age of the Lower Mississippian was determined by surveying the existing literature. Data from the surrounding …
