Evaluation of the Effects of Hurricane Sandy on the Concrete Armor Units on the Cleveland Harbor East Breakwater
The Cleveland Harbor East Breakwater, Cleveland, OH, rehabilitation was completed in 1980. The easternmost 4,440ft (1,341m) was armored with 29,741 two ton (1,814kg) dolosse, slender concrete armor units (CAU) used on ...
Application Of Coastal And Marine Ecological Classification Standard (Cmecs) To Remotely Operated Vehicle (Rov) Video Data For Enhanced Geospatial Analysis Of Deep Sea Environments
The Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard (CMECS) provides a comprehensive framework of common terminology for organizing physical, chemical, biological, and geological information about marine ecosystems. ...
Exploration of microbial deposits known as giant hams from the Lower Permian Laborcita Formation, Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico
The Lower Permian Laborcita Formation, Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico crops out along a narrow, 27 km strip, and is 240 m at its thickest. The objective of this study was to document ham-shaped microbial deposits through ...
Color inconsistencies across hazardous weather watches and warnings: Can standardized visual representation of risk improve public safety?
Research has shown the color used to represent threat information can influence perceived risk and how individuals respond to watches and warnings. However, there is no standardized color scheme for hazardous weather ...
Effects of Fluid Mg/Ca And Dp18So on Geochemistry of Calcium Carbonates: Studies on Inorganic and Natural Samples
Mg/Ca and d18O derived from marine biogenic carbonates have been widely used as reliable paleoenvironmental proxy for seawater temperature, salinity and water mass circulation reconstructions. The use of Mg/Ca is based on ...
Deep-Basinal Lithium-Rich Brines
The hydrocarbon producing rocks of the Upper Jurassic in the northern Gulf of Mexico are known to contain lithium-rich brines. However, the genesis of the lithium-rich water is not very well understood. Analysis of ...
The Effects of Land Use and Contaminant Transport at a Proposed Reservoir Site in Smith County, Mississippi
This study investigates nutrient and contaminant transport within the Oakohay Creek watershed in order to (1) demonstrate the effects of land use on water quality, (2) model and predict the trophic state of the proposed ...
Biogeochemistry Of Microbial Mats From A Hypersaline Pond And Reef Biofilm From A Modern Coral Reef, The Bahamas
Biofilm communities host complex biogeochemical processes and play a role in the formation of many carbonate rocks by influencing both carbonate precipitation and dissolution. In this study, the biogeochemistry of microbial ...
Mathematical Analysis Of The Effect Of Biofilm Upon Porosity And Permeability In Oil-Bearing Sandstone Of The Eutaw Formation In Jasper County, Mississippi
SEM and CT X-ray imaging were used to quantify the surface geometries of sandstone pore and throat networks of the oil-bearing Stanley Sandstone of the Eutaw Formation of Jasper County, Mississippi, both in dry samples and ...
Contrasting Environments Associated with Storm Prediction Center Tornado Outbreak Forecasts using Synoptic-Scale Composite Analysis
Tornado outbreaks have significant human impact, so it is imperative forecasts of these phenomena are accurate. As a synoptic setup lays the foundation for a forecast, synoptic-scale aspects of Storm Prediction Center (SPC) ...
