Title: ANATOMY OF SELECT FLUVIAL DEPOSITS IN THE MAUCH CHUNK GROUP, SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA, USA
Author: McCreary, Alan
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Environmental geology
Description: The Mauch Chunk Group has been interpreted as a product of multiple transgressions and regressions (Miller and Eriksson, 2000; Beuthin and Blake, 2004). An outcrop containing the upper Hinton Formation and Princeton Formation, the middle two forma...

Title: An observational analysis on the distance to supercell-boundary interaction in the Great Plains
Author: Magee, Kathleen
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology, Atmospheric science
Description: Several case studies and numerical simulations have confirmed that baroclinic boundaries provide enhanced horizontal and vertical vorticity, wind shear, helicity, and moisture that induce stronger updrafts, higher reflectivity, and stronger low-le...

Title: Assessing the impact of the nocturnal transition on the lifetime and evolution of supercell thunderstorms in the Great Plains.
Author: Gropp, Matthew
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Meteorology
Description: Predicting the evolution of supercell thunderstorms during and after the eveningtransition is a known challenge due to an incomplete understanding of how they evolve inresponse to associated environmental changes. As the low-level environment cool...

Title: NATURALLY-OCCURRING CHROMIUM AND VANADIUM IN CHARLOTTE TERRANE ROCKS: A SOURCE OF TRACE ELEMENTS TO GROUNDWATER?
Author: Vail, Jacey
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Environmental sciences, Geology, Geochemistry
Description: Vanadium (V) and chromium (Cr) contamination has become a rising concern in North Carolina due to a coal ash spill in February 2014. Coal ash is known to contain these trace elements, but V and Cr are also naturally occurring. Cr and V above healt...

Title: Spatial and temporal variance in rock dome exfoliation and weathering near Twain Harte, California, USA
Author: Moser, Faye
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Geomorphology, Geology
Description: Large-scale exfoliation cracks and associated domes can strongly influence regional landscape evolution, hydrology and hazards, but their formation mechanism(s) and long-term evolution are poorly understood. Beginning in August 2014, in Twain Hart...

Title: Spatiotemporal Prediction Modeling of Dengue Fever in Colombia, South America Based on Temperature and Precipitation
Author: Sirbaugh, Megan
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Geodesy, Meteorology, Epidemiology
Description: Dengue fever is a prominent mosquito-borne viral disease in the tropics that is estimated to infect as many as 400 million people per year. Dengue is endemic to Colombia, South America and it is crucial to be able to predict when outbreaks may occ...

Title: THE ROLE OF URBAN GREEN ROOFS AS INVERTEBRATE HABITAT
Author: Merritt, Danielle
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Sustainability, Environmental sciences, Ecology
Description: Developed countries witnessed an 80% expansion of urban land use between 1990 and 2015. This is leading to degradation of ecosystems and habitats, resulting in a general loss of biodiversity in urban areas. I investigated the habitat potential of ...

Title: The Morphology and History of Exfoliation on Rock Domes in the Southeastern United States
Author: Weiserbs, Benjamin
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Environmental sciences, Geomorphology, Geology
Description: Rock domes and associated surface-parallel exfoliation joints are evident in all tectonic and climatic settings, including the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces of the southeastern United States. Although large-scale dome exfoliation is traditiona...
