Geology of the Late Pleistocene artifact-bearing Wasiriya Beds at the Nyamita locality, Rusinga Island, Kenya.
(, 2011-12-19)
This study investigated the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Late Pleistocene Wasiriya Beds at the Nyamita locality on Rusinga Island, Kenya in northeastern Lake Victoria. Little is yet known about this region during ...
Analysis of calcite-filled faults in carbonate strata, balcones trend near Waco, Texas.
(, 2011-09-14)
Five normal faults exposed in the Lehigh Quarry near Waco, Texas, were analyzed. The mechanical stratigraphy of the quarry ranges from relatively strong chalk to marly chalk to chalky marl to relatively weak marl. Higher ...
Field, micromorphologic and geochemical study of modern and ancient soils from Riesel, Texas and Rusinga Island, Lake Victoria, Kenya.

Paleosol are utilized to reconstruct paleoclimate and paleoenvironment by paleopedologists. However, paleopedologists must constrain for all of the state factors that create a soil before paleoclimate or paleoenvironment ...
Seismo-lineament analysis of selected earthquakes in the Tahoe-Truckee area, California and Nevada.
(, 2012-08-08)
Focal mechanism solutions from 29 M≥3 earthquakes recorded between 1966 and late 2009 in the Tahoe-Truckee area, California and Nevada, were used to establish a preliminary spatial correlation between these earthquakes and ...
The Jurassic Norphlet Formation of the deep-water Eastern Gulf of Mexico : a sedimentologic investigation of aeolian facies, their reservoir characteristics, and their depositional history.
(2011-01-05)
This study defined the sedimentary facies, reservoir architecture, and depositional
history of the Jurassic aeolian Norphlet Formation in the deep-water Eastern Gulf of
Mexico. Seven depositional facies were identified ...
Climatic and human influences on Holocene alluvial history and paleoenvironment of the middle Delaware River Valley, USA.
(, 2012-11-29)
The potential for future prolonged drought episodes in the Northeastern USA is alarming given that a humid climate currently provides water to +50 million people in the northeast, USA. Hydro-climatic projections are ...
Spatial correlation of earthquakes with two known and two suspected seismogenic faults, north Tahoe-Truckee area, California.
(, 2014-06-11)
The Seismo-Lineament Analysis Method (SLAM) is used with relocated hypocenters and revised focal mechanisms from 29 M≥3 earthquakes reported in the north Tahoe-Truckee area, California, to spatially correlate earthquakes ...
