A Sneak Peek Into Prehistory: Curating An Interactive Fossil Display To Spark Interest In The Ua Little Rock Natural History Museum, Syd Joheim, Rene Shroat-Lewis Oct 2026

A Sneak Peek Into Prehistory: Curating An Interactive Fossil Display To Spark Interest In The Ua Little Rock Natural History Museum, Syd Joheim, Rene Shroat-Lewis

Research and Creative Works Expo

Arkansas does not currently have a dedicated natural history museum, creating a unique opportunity for UA Little Rock following the recent donation of an expansive fossil collection. In response, the university established a natural history museum initiative intended to benefit both the campus community and the broader public across Arkansas. This initiative provides accessible resources for learning about natural science, evolution, and the state’s prehistoric past, areas that are often underrepresented in informal science education. It also serves as a platform for outreach, student engagement, and undergraduate research, strengthening UA Little Rock’s role in science education, workforce development, and community …


Extensive Glacier Loss In The Coterminous United States, Andrew G. Fountain, Bryce Glenn, Christopher Mcneil, Brian Menounos Oct 2026

Extensive Glacier Loss In The Coterminous United States, Andrew G. Fountain, Bryce Glenn, Christopher Mcneil, Brian Menounos

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Glaciers populate the mountain ranges of the western conterminous United States and despite their importance to alpine hydrology, their area and volume change have never been comprehensively evaluated. Our study shows that since the mid-twentieth century about one-quarter of the glaciers have disappeared and the overall area and volume are reduced by one-third. The pattern of glacier shrinkage suggests most glaciers in the conterminous United States are largely maintained by local topographic influences due to their small size. These results improve our understanding of evolving high alpine hydrology and importance to ecosystem processes.


Did Seismic Events Trigger The Growth Of Aragonitic Speleothems In Mawmluh Cave, North-East India?, Dildi Dildi, Dana Riechelmann Dr., Michael Weber Dr., Anne Jantschke Dr., Regina Mertz-Kraus Dr., Denis Scholz Dr. Oct 2026

Did Seismic Events Trigger The Growth Of Aragonitic Speleothems In Mawmluh Cave, North-East India?, Dildi Dildi, Dana Riechelmann Dr., Michael Weber Dr., Anne Jantschke Dr., Regina Mertz-Kraus Dr., Denis Scholz Dr.

International Journal of Speleology

Mawmluh Cave, north-east India, is located in a seismically very active region within the Himalayas with frequent earthquakes of varying magnitude. So far, speleothems from the cave have mainly been used to reconstruct past monsoon variability. The potential effect of seismic events on speleothem formation in Mawmluh Cave, however, has not been studied in detail yet. We investigated three stalagmites from Mawmluh Cave, each predominantly consisting of calcite overlain by substantially younger aragonite at the top (i.e., an aragonite ‘cap’). 230Th/U-dating shows that the initiation of aragonite growth occurred between 1859 and 1950 CE in agreement with previous studies. The …


Distribution Of Diagenetic Alterations In Lower Cretaceous Strata Of The Tanzanian Coastal Sedimentary Basin, Justina James Saroni Sep 2026

Distribution Of Diagenetic Alterations In Lower Cretaceous Strata Of The Tanzanian Coastal Sedimentary Basin, Justina James Saroni

Tanzania Journal of Science

The Lower Cretaceous sedimentary rocks of the Coastal Sedimentary Basin of Tanzania crop out in the Wami and Mandawa basins and are stratigraphically similar to the reservoir rocks hosting gas at Songo Songo. This study examines the relationship between facies and diagenetic processes in outcrops from the study area. Outcrop description and petrographic analysis by using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to identify facies and diagenetic alterations. Sixteen facies were identified, including siliciclastic facies: conglomerate (Gm), sandstones (St, Sp, Sm, Sh, Sr), siltstone and mudstone (Fm, Fl); and carbonate facies are packstone (Lsp, Lspc, Lspg, Lspo), grainstone …
