The Influences of Geologic Depositional Environments on Sand Boil Development, Tara Wildlife Lodge Area in Mississippi
A comprehensive study of the subsurface geology in the Tara Wildlife Lodge area in Mississippi was undertaken to identify seepage pathways that lead to sand boils. After completing and reviewing drilling logs, geophysical ...
Spatial Pattern Analysis of Agricultural Soil Properties using GIS
Agricultural soil properties exhibit variation over field plot scales that can ultimately effect the yield. This study performs multiple spatial pattern analyses in order to design spatially dependent regression models to ...
Structural Controls on Megaporosity in Eogenetic Carbonate Rocks: Tinian, CNMI
Tinian and Aguijan, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), are volcanic, back arc islands in the western Pacific formed by Pacific Plate subduction under the Philippine Plate. The islands are composed of ...
Factors influencing Gypsum Crystal Morphology within a Flue Gas Desulfurization Vessel
Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) is utilized by the coal-powered generating industry to safely eliminate sulfur dioxide. A FGD vessel (scrubber) synthetically creates gypsum crystals by combining limestone (CaCO3), SO2 flue ...
The Legacy of Cotton: A Geographical Perspective on the Influence of Traditionalist Politics in Mississippi
It was hypothesized that the socialspatial dialectic (location, education, politics and race) contributes to Mississippi’s low livability ranking. Regression models were employed using race, student funding rates, high ...
Stratigraphic Architecture of the Floyd (Neal) Shale in the Black Warrior Basin of Alabama and Mississippi: Implications for Regional Exploration Potential
The Floyd (Neal) Shale is an organic-rich black shale in the Black Warrior Basin that is being explored for its unconventional gas potential. To understand the stratigraphic architecture of the black shale facies in ...
Geodetic Method to Estimate Mass Balance of Himalayan Glaciers: a Case Study of the Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal
Mass balance records of glaciers help to understand long term climate change, yet there are very few in-situ measurements of mass balance in Himalayan glaciers. Mass balance of major glaciers in the Sagarmatha National ...
Recycled Glass Cullet as an Alternative Aggregate for Dredged Sediments in Coastal Replenishment: a Feasibility Study
Removal of sediment by dredging causes excessive erosion and ecosystem disruption. The objective of this study is to consider recycled glass as a feasible, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative material for ...
Investigation of Parent Source Material in Smith County, Mississippi
Calcium bentonite deposits of the Glendon and Bucatunna formations of the Oligocene Vicksburg Group located in Smith County, Mississippi were examined to determine the depositional environment, diagenetic history and origin ...
Stratigraphy, Environments of Deposition, and Mineralogical Characterization of Heavy Minerals from Selected Cretaceous Formations of the Eastern Mississippi Embayment
This thesis examines the mineral suite of undeveloped heavy-mineral deposits in the Cretaceous of the Northern Mississippi Embayment and compares them to the developed deposits of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The hypothesis ...
