Seismic-stratigraphic analysis of shelf-margin delta/slope fan and basin floor fan on high-latitude and middle-latitude margins (Ross Sea, Weddell Sea and Alabama/West Florida shelf): Paleoclimatic and eustatic implications
(1998)
This dissertation consists of three chapters describing seismic stratigraphic studies in three very different continental margin settings. The first chapter discusses the northwestern Ross Sea, the second discusses the ...
The Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet since the Last Glacial Maximum
(2006)
Antarctic is the coldest, driest, and most poorly understood climate system on the planet. Data within these pages contributes to the understanding of the Antarctic Peninsula region, a global warming "hot spot" roughly the ...
The evolution of the Brazos and Colorado fluvial/deltaic systems during the Late Quarternary: An integrated study, offshore Texas
(1995)
The evolution of the Brazos and Colorado fluvial/deltaic systems over the last 190,000 years is examined. The data set includes high-resolution seismic data, lithostratigraphic data from offshore platform borings, cores ...
Detailed facies analysis of the Brazos wave-dominated delta, Freeport, Texas
(1995)
In order to better define the facies architecture and controlling processes of a wave-dominated delta, a detailed sedimentary and geomorphologic study was undertaken on the New Brazos River delta. The study indicates a ...
Seismic facies analysis and depositional history of an incised valley system, Galveston Bay area, Texas
(1991)
The history of the incised river valley underlying Galveston Bay was determined by examining the distribution of depositional units and the relationships between them. Initial incision of the valley occurred after the ...
Late Quaternary glacial history of the northern Antarctic Peninsula: Evidence from the Bellingshausen continental shelf
(1992)
Piston cores and Precision Depth Recorder (PDR) data collected from the western margin of the Northern Antarctic Peninsula were examined to reconstruct the late Wisconsinian glacial setting of this region and characterize ...
A geological and geophysical investigation of sedimentation and recent glacial history in the Gerlache Strait region, Graham Land, Antarctica
(1988)
Piston cores, bottom grabs, and single-channel seismic data acquired during Deep Freeze/USARP cruises have been used to examine sedimentation and recent climatic history in the bays and fjords of the Gerlache Strait region ...
Tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the Bransfield Basin, Antarctica
(1988)
Application of sequence stratigraphy to seismic reflection profiles from the Bransfield Basin indicates that this modern back-arc basin formed in response to cessation of subduction at the South Shetland trench at 4 Ma. ...
Retreat history of the last glacial maximum ice sheet in Ross Sea, Antarctica
(1999)
High-resolution geophysical and geologic data were acquired in western and central Ross Sea, Antarctica, to determine the: (1) maximum extent and configuration of the ice sheet during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM); (2) ...
Coastal lithosome evolution and preservation during an overall rising sea level: East Texas gulf coast and continental shelf
(1993)
Present coastal systems along the east Texas coast evolved during the past 3.5 ky of relative sea-level stillstand following a rapid sea-level rise 4 ka. Closure of proto-Galveston Bay, caused by spit accretion of Galveston ...
