Enrichment of Volcanogenic Trace Elements in a Continuous Subsurface Eagle Ford Core in South Texas and the Origin of The Oceanic Anoxic Event II at The Cenomanian-Turonian (C/T) Boundary
Valencia, Daniel (2017-12-13)The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas is a dark grey to black, sporadically laminated, organic rich carbonaceous mud rock located in the subsurface (~13,000), of the hydrocarbon producing shale-oil formation. ... -
FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH ADULT ASTHMA RELATED EMERGENCY ROOM DISCHARGES IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS IN 2010 - 2014
Cao, Nguyen (2019-12-06)Asthma is a common chronic disease of the airways characterized by recurrent reversible airway obstruction. More than 25 million Americans have asthma. In this study, factors associated with adult asthma related emergency ... -
GEOCHEMICAL AND PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HORN RIVER FORMATION: BRITISH COLUMBIA, CA
Sortore, Joseph Anthony; 0000-0001-5014-6401 (2017-05-23)The Devonian Horn River basin of northeastern British Columbia is the largest producing shale gas field in Canada. It has an estimated 500-600 TCF of light hydrocarbons in place stacked in multiple formations in an ... -
Heavy Metal Contamination Of Road Dust In Lanzhou, China
Hiett, Michael (Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-07-25)Road dusts were collected from the streets of the city of Lanzhou, the capital and largest city of Gansu Province in Northwest China. The potential health hazard posed by contaminated road dusts may be considerable for ... -
Identifying Source of Lead Particles in Floor Dust Using Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscope (CCSEM)
Sarker, Joyashree; 0000-0002-8561-6212 (2016-05-10)Identifying the sources of lead (Pb) in indoor dust by analysis of the contents of the dust provides an opportunity to mitigate the source of contamination. In this study, it is hypothesized that in residential properties ... -
Observations on the magnetic iron oxide content of particulate matter in the Sahel
Tidd, Kimberly Belle; 0000-0003-4107-6258 (2019-05-06)Atmospheric dust influences many processes throughout the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, most notably the climate, marine productivity, and human health. Recognizing the physicochemical characteristics of dust ... -
Reducing Lead Bioavalability In Soil By Adding Apatite II
Alkandary, Dhary Saad (Environmental & Earth Science, 2012-04-11)This study was an examination of phosphate-induced immobilization of lead (Pb) in soils through addition of apatite II (fish bone material). The sources of Pb minerals in the soils examined in this in situ remediation study ... -
