Location Of The Mississippi Sound Oyster Reefs As Related To Salinity Of Bottom Waters During 1973-1975, Charles K. Eleuterius

Gulf and Caribbean Research

The relationship of producing natural oyster reefs of Mississippi Sound to the salinity regime of bottom waters is investigated. Extreme and average conditions were extracted from data taken at 87 stations over a 21-month period from June 1973 through February 1975. With one exception, the producing reefs were subjected to salinity minimums of 2.0 to 4.0 parts per thousand (ppt), maximums of 18.0 to 22.0 ppt, with average conditions being between 10.0 and 16.0 ppt. Salinity-suitable areas in the Sound not now inhabited by oysters are described.

Photographic Interpretation Of The Stratigraphy Of Block Island, Rhode Island, Jonathan Rodman Barrett

Open Access Master's Theses

Application of standard geologic photointerpretive techniques to a series of offshore photographs of the Block Island cliffs has shown significant correspondence with previous stratigraphic field studies. Constant scale while mapping and a vertical exaggeration for the final profile were achieved with the aid of a Zoom Transfer Scope.

Photogeologic unit boundaries were defined by: the nature of bedding visible in the photographs, the extent of different erosional and drainage patterns on the cliff face, changes in texture of the cliff face, tonal variations, and variations in clast size.

Five photogeologic units have been defined on the northern cliffs of the …

A Photogrammetric Survey Of Backbarrier Accretion On The Rhode Island Barrier Beaches, Elizabeth Jean Simpson

Open Access Master's Theses

Washover fans and tidal deltas are known to be significant sediment storage sites on the barrier islands of the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the Texas Gulf Coast. No previous studies, however, have attempted to quantify the importance of these sediment sinks in the littoral sediment budget.

The relative importance of washover and tidal delta sedimentation on the erosional shoreline of Rhode Island has been determined from a photogrammetric analysis of the backbarrier shoreline changes on the south shore barrier beaches from Napatree Point to Point Judith over the period of 1939 to 1975 (the dates of the earliest …

Application Of Image Principal Component Technique To The Geological Study Of A Structural Basin In Central Spain, Antonio Santisteban, Laura Munoz

LARS Symposia

We describe a method to obtain the principal components of a multispectral image. It allows a simultaneous radiometric enhancement by means of a suitable finer level quantization that does not introduce artifacts. Using this method we are able to produce good photographic prints of the principal components of LANDSAT MSS images. As a matter of fact the two first components (that we call bands A and B) alone contain nearly all the information existing on the original image while the other contain only noise.

We use this technique to help in the geological study of Campo Arañuelo Basin, in Central …

Digital Analysis Of Landsat Data For Geological Studies In Sangagiri-Tiruchengode Namakkal Area In Tamilnadu, India, V. Guruswamy, S. J. Kristof, M. F. Baumgardner

LARS Symposia

Applications of remote sensing, especially digital analysis of multispectral scanner data to the discipline of geology, require a careful analytical approach in view of the various limitations like the inevitable masking effect due to several surficial features, fluctuating environmental conditions, etc. As such, anticipation of limited accuracy in respect to qualitatively extracting lithologic informations becomes the principal objective of the analyst at the first instance.

Attempts were made in the paper to study the domal structure area studded with four granite/gneiss varieties and alluvium and to delineate their lithological boundaries based on their spectral characteristics using the LARSYS hardware and …

The Antiquity Of Bison Latifrons (Harlan) In The Great Plains Of North America, C. Bertrand Schultz, John M. Hillerud

Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences and Affiliated Societies

There is abundant evidence available which strongly supports the Middle Pleistocene (Sheridanian) stratigraphic position of the fossilized remains of Bison latifrons (Harlan) in the Great Plains of North America. This would place the geologic age of this giant beast as post-Kansas to Early Illinoian. Fourteen localities, where the bones of B. latifrons have been found in the central part of North America, have been examined for stratigraphic and geomorphologic evidence.

Geology Of The Al-Khums Area Northwestern Libya With Emphasis On The Stratigraphy And Biostratigraphy Of The Al-Khums Formation, Mostafa Juma Salem

Doctoral Dissertations

"The dissertation represents a geologic study of an area bordering the Mediterranean Sea in northwestern Libya. About 1200 km² were mapped and 28 stratigraphic sections were prepared.

The bedrock consists of 16 stratigraphic units of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age having a combined maximum thickness of about 750 meters. The oldest unit exposed, the Abu Shaybah Formation, is a redbed sequence of Triassic and Jurassic age. These beds are unconformably separated from Cretaceous carbonates (Garian Limestone, Ain Tobi Formation, and Gezzar Dolomite). These units in turn are overlain by the Miocene Al-Khums Formation. Younger Quaternary units consist of nearshore marine …

The National Waste Terminal Storage Program, C. D. Zerby

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

The National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) program has been established to provide facilities (federal repositories) in various deep geologic formations at multiple locations in the USA which will safely dispose of the commercial radioactive waste that must be delivered to a federal repository for terminal storage. This paper presents an overview of the NWTS program and describes the stepwise approach that is being taken in meeting the objective of the program.

Stratigraphy, Structure, And Petrology Of The Snoqualmie Pass Area, Washington, Lawrence A. Chitwood

Dissertations and Theses

The Snoqualmie pass area lies about 50 mi (80 km) east of Seattle, Washington, along the crest of the Cascade Range. Five stratified units, forming a composite section over 22,000 ft (6700 m) thick, are recognized in the area. They were deformed and later intruded by granodiorite and quartz monzonite porphyry of the Snoqualmie batholith (middle Miocene). The oldest unit, the Denny Formation (Permian), 7000 ft (2100 m) thick, consists of interstratified basalt, andesite and dacite volcanic rocks and limestone and chert beds. This formation is unconformably overlain by a thick conformable sequence of early Tertiary strata which are subdivided, …

Topography, Shallow Structure, And Sedimentary Processes Of The Atlantic Continental Slope Off The Carolina Coast, Robert Michael Fitchko

OES Theses and Dissertations

Analysis of 58 closely-spaced bathymetric and seismic profiles of the Carolina continental slope from the northern Blake Plateau to the vicinity of the North Carolina-Virginia state line (latitude 32• 30 'N to 36• 30 'N) indicates sharp contrasts in quantity of slumping and outcrop ledge continuity.

Terrestrial progradation and a relatively gentle slope characterize the area south of Cape Lookout, especially between Cape Romain and Cape Fear where sediment mantling is the greatest. Submarine canyons, slumps, and a steep slope are characteristic Between Cape Lookout and Cape Hatteras. North of Cape Hatteras, canyons and slumps are also common, though sediment …

The Use Of Clay Forms To Symbolize The Quality Of The Southern Utah Landscape, Ban Kajitani

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This project was concerned with study of Neriage, Zougan, and Raku techniques in search of a creative, individual expression of the Southern Utah landscape. To find ceramic forms which would reflect its history, and show appreciation for its aesthetic characteristics of color, vastness and endless variety of form.

In the development of this artist's philosophy, a potter artist has to acquire certain qualities of form and concepts which are of basic importance in the execution of his work.

These concepts which are a part of his philosophy are first; truth to material. Since clay is a very versatile material it …

Tertiary Welded Tuffs Of The Ryan Spring Area, Needle Range, Beaver County, Utah, Peter Carlyle Rauch

Masters Theses

"The Needle Range of southwestern Utah is composed of Paleozoic sediments overlain by a thick sequence of Tertiary volcanic rocks primarily of the welded tuff class. The area has undergone at least four stages of post-eruptive structural deformation. The most significant stage is that which formed the range by normal Basin and Range type faulting. The faults strike northwest and tilt the volcanic layers northeast.

The volcanic section is composed primarily of the Needles Range Formation (Oligocene) overlain by the Isom Formation and underlain by several flows and ash flows, one of which has been tentatively correlated to the Escalante …

Classification Of Surficial Materials, James Hadley Williams

Doctoral Dissertations

"A surficial materials classification system has been designed to fit the needs of a geologist in mapping and classifying surficial materials. The system developed in this study is intended primarily for analysis of surficial materials where time-stratigraphic markers are not applicable or recognized. Primary classification is based on fabric and mode of origin supplemented by data on engineering and pedologic properties.

Several types of classification systems presently exist for use in soil investigations. Only three of these systems have found widespread acceptance, two serving the engineering profession and the other the needs of the soil scientist. These systems are not …
