Relationship Of Surrounding Geology To Well Recovery Properties For Selected Cedarville University Water Supply Wells, Kaitlyn Sturm Apr 2015

Relationship Of Surrounding Geology To Well Recovery Properties For Selected Cedarville University Water Supply Wells, Kaitlyn Sturm

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

This study was conducted to ascertain the relationship between geology and recovery rates of three selected Cedarville University water supply wells. In order to determine the recovery rates, the three selected wells were individually pumped down and then water level measurements were taken as the water levels rose in the well bore. The collected field data was analyzed and compared to the drillers’ well logs from when the wells were originally drilled. The geologic conditions that were examined for the area immediately surrounding the wells included: bedrock lithology, glacial drift characteristics (type and thickness), ground-surface topography, and bedrock topography. The …

Buildup And Infill Rates Of Sediment Behind Cedarcliff Falls Dam, Tyler K. Dix Apr 2015

Buildup And Infill Rates Of Sediment Behind Cedarcliff Falls Dam, Tyler K. Dix

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Cedarcliff Falls Dam is a small man-made masonry dam that was constructed around 1869. The dam impounds a pool of water that is a half-mile long on Massie’s Creek near Cedarville, Ohio. This project’s goal was to ascertain the infill rate and character of the sediment that had built up since 1869. The field work involved the measurement of water depth through the length of the pool in order to create a bottom-contour map. In addition, the sediment type was examined throughout the pool. This work was accomplished by use of a boat, stadia rod, handheld GPS unit, and a …

Determining Provenance Of Glacial Material In Southwestern Ohio, Jorian Krob Apr 2015

Determining Provenance Of Glacial Material In Southwestern Ohio, Jorian Krob

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

During the last glacial maximum, ice moved south from Canada to cover much of the northern United States. This included the northern and western portions of Ohio. As the ice migrated it picked up Canadian bedrock which it transported and then left in Ohio when the ice retreated. The goal of this project was to determine the provenance (the source of origin) of the glacial material that is located in Greene, Clark, Montgomery, Logan, and Champaign Counties in Ohio. To determine where in southern Canada the material in these counties came from, this project included literature review into the glacial …

Derivation Of Correction Coefficients For Stream Velocities, Upper Little Miami River Basin, Oh, Matthew S. Cheney Apr 2015

Derivation Of Correction Coefficients For Stream Velocities, Upper Little Miami River Basin, Oh, Matthew S. Cheney

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

The simplest method of determining stream velocity involves measuring how long it takes a floating object or material to move a certain distance downstream. This study tested a dog toy (mini tennis ball), a 2 inch diameter piece of pumice, a playing card, a full 16.9 oz. water bottle, and milk. The floats were released where the maximum velocity of the stream was found through the use of profiling with a simple flowmeter. The real-time data from a USGS-gaged stream only shows discharge and gage height (stage); it does not show velocity. However, the historic USGS-technician stream-flow-verification data for a …

Progressive Assessment Of Lake Depths In Cedar Lake, Samuel L. Rice Apr 2015

Progressive Assessment Of Lake Depths In Cedar Lake, Samuel L. Rice

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

In the fall of 2012, the CU Environmental Geology class did an assignment which produced a bathymetry (bottom-contour) map of Cedar Lake. Although the depth measurements using stadia rods and the position measurements using handheld GPS units were somewhat crude, the end result was a map that seemed to be a very reasonable depiction on the lake bottom configuration. In the fall 2014, measurements were again made as a part of an ongoing assessment to determine if sediment infill was occurring in the lake. The data gathering techniques duplicated those used in 2012, including equipment used. The primary difference between …

A Photo-Detachment Study Of Binding Energies Of La-, Lin Pan Apr 2015

A Photo-Detachment Study Of Binding Energies Of La-, Lin Pan

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Among the three candidates for negative ion laser cooling, La- is the most promising due to the strong transitions between its bound states. A direct energy calculation at the valence level [1] had been applied to La-. However, a comparison with the most recent experimental study [2] has shown there exists a range of disagreement of 17 ~ 90 meV in the energy values relative to the ground state. This research is a computational effort to determine the energies using a different method. By reproducing the photo-detachment cross section of La- and then lining it up with the experimental plot, …

Glacial Till Prospecting In Southwest Ohio: Implications For Improved Sampling, Dylan J. Mckevitt Apr 2015

Glacial Till Prospecting In Southwest Ohio: Implications For Improved Sampling, Dylan J. Mckevitt

The Research and Scholarship Symposium (2013-2019)

Glacial till (drift) prospecting has served a major role in corporate mineral exploration, especially for gold and diamond during the past 30 years. It involves analyzing heavy indicator minerals from bulk sampling of various glacial deposits in order to track up ice flow direction to the potential orebody (such as a kimberlite pipe or Cu-Ni deposit), a technique commonly used in Canada but not in the U.S. Heavy minerals including diamond, gold, and native copper have been found in Ohio glacial till; the provenance of these heavy minerals is the Precambrian bedrock north of Ohio. This study utilized standard procedures …
