STREAM CO2 DEGASSING: REVIEW OF METHODS AND LABORATORY EVALUATION OF FLOATING CHAMBERS
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Measuring the amount of CO2 exiting headwater streams through degassing could play an important role in environmental chemistry. The objective of this project was to develop a method to measure CO2 flux from headwater ... -
FUNDAMENTAL STRATIGRAPHIC, SEDIMENTOLOGIC, AND PETROPHYSICAL ELEMENTS OF HETEROZOAN CARBONATES: GRAIN-RICH FINING- AND SHOALING-UPWARD CYCLOTHEMS AND CLINOTHEMS
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Abstract Tony Michael Pugliano, M.S. Department of Geology, December 2015 The University of Kansas This research documents Pliocene and Miocene outcrops from SE Spain to evaluate controls on stratigraphic architecture and ... -
Parallel-line beamsteering for enhanced anomaly detection
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Parallel-line beamsteering, a new seismic processing method, was developed to enhance signal from laterally continuous heterogeneities (e.g. tunnel, mine shaft, etc.) and attenuate scatter from localized non-laterally ... -
NEOICHNOLOGY OF BATS: MORPHOLOGICAL, ECOLOGICAL, AND PHYLOGENETIC INFLUENCES ON TERRESTRIAL BEHAVIOR AND TRACKMAKING ABILITY WITHIN THE CHIROPTERA
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Among living mammals, bats (Chiroptera) are second only to rodents in total number of species with over 1100 currently known. Extant bat species occupy many trophic niches and feeding habits, including frugivores (fruit ... -
A Geological and Geophysical Investigation into the Evolution and Potential Exploitation of a Geothermal Resource at the Dixie Valley Training Range, Naval Air Station Fallon.
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)This study examines the geological and geophysical controls on geothermal fluid migration in two discrete geothermal systems in the highly-extended region of the central Great Basin. Active right-lateral oblique slip of ... -
HydrogeoSieveXL: an Excel-based tool to estimate hydraulic conductivity from grain-size analysis
(Springer, 2016-11)For over a century, hydrogeologists have estimated hydraulic conductivity (K) from grain-size distribution curves. The benefits of the practice are simplicity, cost, and a means of identifying spatial variations in K. Many ... -
Data in Support of Diagenetic controls on location of reservoir sweet spots relative to paleotopographic and structural highs
(The Geological Society of London, 2016-10-17) -
Reservoir and Source Potential of Eocene Microbialites, Green River Formation, USA
(University of Kansas, 2015-12-31)In recent years, large petroleum discoveries within the lacustrine microbialite facies of pre-salt systems of offshore Brazil, Angola, and Gabon have increased interest in the potential of microbial carbonates as reservoir ... -
Monitoring microbial sulfate reduction in porous media using multipurpose electrodes
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-07-21)[1] There is growing interest in the application of electrode-based measurements for monitoring microbial processes in the Earth using biogeophysical methods. In this study, reactive electrode measurements were combined ... -

Quadrature conductivity: A quantitative indicator of bacterial abundance in porous media
(Society of Exploration Geophysicists, 2014-11)The abundance and growth stages of bacteria in subsurface porous media affect the concentrations and distributions of charged species within the solid-solution interfaces. Therefore, spectral induced polarization (SIP) ... -
An Exhumed Late Paleozoic Canyon in the Rocky Mountains
(University of Chicago Press, 2007)Landscapes are thought to be youthful, particularly those of active orogenic belts. Unaweep Canyon in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, a large gorge drained by two opposite‐flowing creeks, is an exception. Its origin has long ... -
Identifying Important Observations Using Cross Validation and Computationally Frugal Sensitivity Analysis Methods
(Elsevier, 2010)Sensitivity analysis methods are used to identify measurements most likely to provide important information for model development and predictions. Methods range from computationally demanding Monte Carlo and cross-validation ... -
Controls on the Architecture of Lower Ismay Zone of the Honaker Trail Formation (Pennsylvanian), San Juan River, Utah, USA
(University of Kansas, 2015-12-31)This study of the Pennsylvanian Lower Ismay zone of the Paradox Formation, Paradox Basin, Utah, USA intends to improve understanding of build-and-fill processes and carbonate sequence stratigraphy. Closely spaced, ... -
Bioprecipitation of Calcite by Sporosarcina pasteurii : Developing Efficient Methodologies for Microbially Indurated Rammed Earth
(University of Kansas, 2015-12-31)Microbial ly -facilitated calcite precipitation has a high potential t o reinforce unconsolidated soils, thus increasing their strength. Employing the use of microbia l ly -facilitated precipitation of calcite will result ... -
Microbial Communities in a High Arctic Polar Desert Landscape
(Frontiers Media, 2016-03)The High Arctic is dominated by polar desert habitats whose microbial communities are poorly understood. In this study, we used next generation sequencing to describe the α- and β-diversity of microbial communities in polar ... -
