Glacial Origin Of Massie Creek Gorge, Greene County Ohio, Dylan J. Mckevitt
Glacial Origin Of Massie Creek Gorge, Greene County Ohio, Dylan J. Mckevitt
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Massie Creek Gorge is one of several small but impressive canyons in Greene County, Ohio that cut through a typically low-relief landscape. It displays spectacular dolomite cliffs (up to 20 m high), large rockfalls (up to 1800 m3), numerous large potholes (up to >5 m wide and >7 m high), a dry valley branching off the main channel with a resultant bedrock island (≈30,000 m2 in area) and two boulder bars on its lee side (the largest ≈13.5 m thick). Short, dry side canyons are cut to the same depth as the main drainage and sometimes contain …

Developing Criteria For Identifying Fossil Raindrop Prints, April Menendez
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Raindrop imprints have been identified many times in the rock record as stated in papers by Rindsberg, Shul’ga 2004 and Kahle 2009. However, there is a question of whether those raindrops have been determined accurately or if the spherical depressions are caused by some other occurrence. Studies by Twenhofel have been done that describe raindrop prints in modern sediment, and the research conducted during this project continues to broaden that field of information. During this research project, experiments were carried out to collect the appearance of raindrop prints in sand, both wet and dry. After photographs of the imprints were …

Tree Biomass And Carbon Storage In An Old Growth Forest In Southeastern Ohio, Adam Levesque, Christina Gall, Doug Fox, Karen Washburne, Sam Scherneck, Mark A. Gathany
The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)
Recently there has been increased interest in determining the baseline levels of carbon storage in different ecosystems, because of greater concern over the issue of global climate change and increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations. With a better understanding of carbon sequestration in various ecosystems, we can use land in a more environment-conscious way, and negative human impacts on the earth can be decreased. Forest ecosystems are especially important, because they have an immense capacity to store carbon as compared to other ecosystems. The majority of carbon sequestered in forest ecosystems is contained in tree biomass, but there is also carbon contained …
