BIOMARKERS IN PALEOZOIC CRINOIDS (BORDEN GROUP, MISSISSIPPIAN): IMPLICATIONS FOR PHYLOGENY
O'Malley, Christina E.; Ausich, William I.; Chin, Yu Ping ( 2005 )O'Malley, Christina E., Ausich, William I., and Chin, Yu Ping 2005, Biomarkers in Paleozoic crinoids (Borden Group, Mississippian): implications for Phylogeny [poster]: Geological Society of America Annual Meeting, 2005, ... -
Carbon in watershed bedrock and its importance in global carbon cycling
Clendenin, Chad ( 2012 )Over geologic timescales, weathering of silicate rocks plays a significant role in the regulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide and thereby global climate. The Sierra de las Minas of Guatemala, my study area, has high ... -
Carbon Sequestration: Super Critical CO2’s effect on subsurface brines in the Illinois Basin
Blake, Daniel ( 2009 )The impact of CO2 on global warming has become a reality and major CO2 producers must take steps to address a 40% increase in concentration that has occurred globally since the early 1800’s. This study looked at the ... -
Characterization of mineralization in sediments around potential methane hydrate fractures
Buchwalter, Edwin ( 2012 )Methane hydrates are a frozen mixture of natural gas and water which remain stable in sea floor sediment. In the future these could become a valuable source of energy however with current technology extraction is impractical. ... -
Chemical Weathering Soil Profiles of the Rio Chagres Watershed
Hannah, Lindsey; Lyons, W. Berry; Goldsmith, Steve ( 2008-09-18 )Chemical weathering is a major process in the development and resultant bulk chemistry of soils, yet little research has been done in moist tropical climates investigating the relationship between the chemistry of soil ... -
CO2 Sequestration Capabilities of Upper Cambrian-Lower Ordovician Formations in Southern Ohio
Hull, Brad ( 2012 )Carbon dioxide sequestration into porous rock intervals beneath the Earth’s surface is an emerging technique of reducing the amounts gaseous CO2 emitted by energy production through the burning of coal/peat. Target intervals ... -
Coarse Terrigenous Fraction at IODP Site 1308, North Atlantic: Evidence For Changing IRD Sources Through Last 300ky
Calhoun, J. Patrick; Krissek, Lawrence ( 2008-09-18 )Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 303 obtained ocean floor sediment cores from the North Atlantic, including Site 1308 at 50N 24W. These cores contain coarse terrigenous material, known as Ice Rafted ( ... -
Crustal Shortening Rates in Correlation to Structural Geology in the Sub-Andean Zone of Bolivia
Judy, K.; Bevis, Michael ( 2008-09-18 )The fold and thrust belt of the Bolivian Sub-Andes has been a topic of much discussion and debate for the past twenty years. Varying ideas regarding the Sub-Andean zone (SAZ) structural geology have been published, documenting ... -
Development of a New Method for Calculating Viscosity at High Pressures
Pigott, J. S.; Reaman, D. M.; Panero, Wendy R. ( 2008-09-18 )Fluids released by a subducting plate 100 km below the Earth’s surface cause melting in the overlying mantle, leading to arc volcanism, such as that found in the Andes Mountains. The viscosity of the released fluid is a ... -
Discharge of the Congo River Estimated from Satellite Measurements
Schaller, Lisa ( 2009 )Although Central Africa’s Congo River is the world’s second largest river based on drainage area and discharge; little in-situ hydrologic data has been collected from this area. This lack of data limits our understanding ... -
Dissolved Organic Matter Contains Previously Unidentified Protein-like Fluorophores in Old Woman Creek
Perez, Victor, Jr. ( 2012 )Dissolved organic matter (DOM) constitutes a significant carbon pool in the global carbon cycle and is influential in many other processes e.g., altering the fate of contaminants, acting as redox and pH buffers, etc. The ... -
Ecosystem Dynamics in an Extreme Environment: Lake Fryxell, Taylor Valley, Antarctica.
Rytel, Alex ( 2012 )The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica constitute a large and significantly ice free area of Antarctica at 78 degrees south latitude. Over the past 19 years data have been gathered on the lakes located in Taylor Valley, ... -
