Subjects--Topical: Geology, Paleontology, Sedimentology
Description: A 40-meter transect consisting of eight equally spaced 2.44-m vibracores was taken across a marginal-marine salt marsh behind North Folly Island, a barrier island located in Charleston County, South Carolina. Analysis of storm signatures from this...

Title: Advancing Green Stormwater Infrastructure Through Understanding the Influences of Social Factors
Author: Qi, Jingyi
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Environmental engineering
Description: Green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) is a nature-inspired engineering solution to stormwater management that has gained increasing attention over the last two decades. While the technical evidence supporting the efficacy and efficiency of GSI is ...

Title: GENETIC MECHANISMS OF OZONE TOLERANCE IN SOYBEAN AND METHODS OF EVOLUTIONARY DISTANCE
Author: Whaley, Adam
Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Bioinformatics, Genetics
Description: At ground level, ozone is a pollutant that poses serious risk to both human health and crop yields. In addition to being a vital economic crop in the US and abroad, conventional soybean lines are susceptible to damage caused by ozone exposure. In ...

Title: MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF FLUE GAS DESULFURIZATION WASTEWATER SEQUESTERED IN THE ALKALI-ACTIVATED FLY ASH MATRIX
Author: Ghaempanah Tajabadi, Morteza
Date Created: 2019
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Civil engineering, Environmental engineering
Description: Geopolymers can be categorized as synthetic zeolitic monoliths. The amorphous structure of this material is developed by dissolution of an aluminate and silicate-rich source, like fly ash, in a highly alkaline solution and then interlinking and cr...

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: POST-LAST GLACIAL MAXIMUM LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER CONEJOS RIVER BASIN, SAN JUAN MOUNTAINS, CO, USA.
Author: Aldred, Jennifer
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Geomorphology, Geology, Soil science
Description: Soil development combined with sediment storage and erosion in small, upland watersheds are key landscape processes for which assumptions are frequently made but rarely verified in landscape evolution studies. However, processes such as these, act...

Title: Petrography and Geochemistry of High-Silica East Pacific Rise Glasses: Implications for Melt Production and Transport from 8o37'N to 15o50'N
