Stratigraphy, Petrology, And Geochemistry Of A Mid-Oceanic Carbonate Platform: Niue Island, South Pacific., Christopher Waldo Wheeler Jan 2000

Stratigraphy, Petrology, And Geochemistry Of A Mid-Oceanic Carbonate Platform: Niue Island, South Pacific., Christopher Waldo Wheeler

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Mid-oceanic carbonate platforms offer a simple setting to study the essentials of dolomitization. One such platform is Niue Island, a former coral atoll capping a Miocene-age seamount in the South Pacific. Samples from 6 wells (≤303 m depth) and 3 outcrops reveal two dolomite bodies at -300 to -165 m (Lower Dolomite Unit, LDU) and -30 to +50 m (Upper Dolomite Unit, UDU) elevation. Paleomagnetism and strontium isotope chronostratigraphy place the depositional age of the uppermost 340 m at 8.6--1.7 Ma. Generally decreasing accretion rates (62--19 m/Ma) are consistent with subsidence of an extinct seamount. The distribution of early meteoric …

The Power Of Ethnicity: The Preservation Of Scots -Irish Culture In The Eighteenth-Century American Backcountry., Kevin Lee Yeager Jan 2000

The Power Of Ethnicity: The Preservation Of Scots -Irish Culture In The Eighteenth-Century American Backcountry., Kevin Lee Yeager

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The character of the Scots-Irish has been shrouded in myth almost from the moment the first Ulster immigrants disembarked at Philadelphia in the 1710s. Contemporaries condemned the Scots-Irish as lazy, illiterate, uncouth, and violent. Later hagiographers, however, praised them as ruggedly individualistic, liberty-loving people who brought civilization to the American wilderness. Recent historians have done little to advance this debate. While re-stating these simplistic stereotypes, modern scholars have failed to ground their arguments in extensive analyses of primary sources. While numerous monographs studying other ethnic and cultural groups in colonial America have appeared over the last thirty years, none as …

Commitment And Compliance: The Role Of Non-Binding Norms In The International Legal System (Introduction), Dinah L. Shelton

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

The introductory chapter of this book describes a study undertaken to determine the extent to which states comply with non-binding legal principles as compared to rules of law and focused on environmental soft law.

The chapter next describes the international legal system and its recent expansion, then describes a variety of methods for resolving international issues. Next, the chapter notes a few possible reasons why states prefer to undertake …

William Iii And The Legalist Revolution, Richard Kay Jan 2000

William Iii And The Legalist Revolution, Richard Kay

Faculty Articles and Papers

A symposium dedicated to the paradoxical idea of rebellious leadership, therefore, is a particularly apt way to honor Dean Macgill's tenure. This phrase also captures a notion that is especially fruitful when applied to basic questions of constitutional structure and political value. Every legal system rests, at the end, on a set of political assumptions. Every instance of law, that is, is ultimately supported by something that is not law. When, as inevitably happens, there develops a fundamental disharmony between the artifacts of law and the political values of a society the law will have to give way. When this …
