Late Atokan siliciclastic cave-fill deposits within preAbsarokan paleokarst in the Burlington-Keokuk limestone, Dade county, Missouri
(Wichita State University, 2011-12)Two siliciclastic-filled paleocaverns within the Mississippian (Osagean) Burlington- Keokuk Limestone, which were formed in pre-Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) time, are described from exposures in Dade County, ... -
Late Pliocene to Holocene platform evolution in northern Belize, and comparison with coeval deposits in southern Belize and the Bahamas
(International Association of Sedimentologists, 2006-10)Lithostratigraphy, depositional facies architecture, and diagenesis of upper Pliocene to Holocene carbonates in northern Belize are evaluated based on a ca 290 m, continuous section of samples from a well drilled on ... -
Length of the year during the Silurian and Devonian Periods: new values
(Geological Society of America, 1971)Daily growth increments and monthly markings on Silurian and Devonian corals and brachiopods were counted using a maximum count method. Early and Middle Silurian fossils indicate that the number of days per year during ... -
Lithofacies distribution and diagenetic overprint of the Jurassic Smackover formation at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)Upper Jurassic microbial carbonate buildups are proven petroleum reservoirs in southwest Alabama, including at Appleton, Vocation and Little Cedar Creek Fields. For the past 30 years, extensive effort has been applied to ... -
Lithostratigraphy and diagenesis of the Upper Pennsylvanian (Missourian) Lansing-Kansas City Groups in Rooks County, Kansas
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)The Upper Pennsylvanian (uppermost Missourian) Lansing-Kansas City Groups (LKC) are prime oil reservoirs targeted by many petroleum companies exploring in Kansas and Nebraska. The LKC groups are a series of cyclothems ... -
Little Arkansas River trace metal investigation
(Wichita State University, 2015-05)The Little Arkansas River originates in central Kansas in areas of high agriculture near the town of McPherson and flows south through increasing urbanization until joining the Arkansas River in Wichita Ks. With population ... -
Living with the neighbors
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)In the year 1859, Thomas Austin released 24 rabbits into the bush near his farm in the southern Australian colony of Victoria. His aim was to have a regular supply of familiar game to hunt. By the end of the 19th century, ... -

Monitoring plant response to phenanthrene using the red edge of canopy hyperspectral reflectance
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-09-15)To investigate the mechanisms and potential for the remote sensing of phenanthrene-induced vegetation stress, we measured field canopy spectra, and associated plant and soil parameters in the field controlled experiment ... -
Monitoring plant response to phenanthrene using the red edge of canopy hyperspectral reflectance
(Elsevier, 2014-07)To investigate the mechanisms and potential for the remote sensing of phenanthrene-induced vegetation stress, we measured field canopy spectra, and associated plant and soil parameters in the field controlled experiment ... -
Nature and origins of a stratigraphic boundary in a continental setting, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)A nonmarine stratigraphic boundary where major facies shifts occur indicates drastic changes in environmental conditions, but may have highly variable magnitude of facies shifts to rapid lateral facies changes, common ... -
Optimization of a fiducial volume for a 10 kiloton water Cerenkov detector for geo-neutrinos
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)A fiducial volume is crucial in particle physics when trying to choose the shape and size of a particle detector. The fiducial volume is defined as the volume at which a specified number of energy events are to be accepted. ... -

Oxygen-carbon isotope stratigraphy of upper carboniferous to lower Permian marine deposits in Midcontinent U.S.A. (Kansas and ne Oklahoma): Implications for sea water chemistry and depositional cyclicity
(Springer, 2007-03)Late Pennsylvanian (upper Gzhelian = Virgilian) to early Permian (lower Artinskian = upper Wolfcampian) sea water chemistry and depositional cyclicity are evaluated based on oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of ... -
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the bandera shale formation, marmaton group, desmoinesian stage, middle Pennsylvanian in southeastern Kansas.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)In southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma the Bandera Shale Formation (BSF) (Middle Pennsylvanian) crops out from Linn to Labette Counties in Kansas and in Nowata County, Oklahoma in units ranging from 12 cm to 20 ... -

Populations in landscapes
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)Halfway between Sweden and Finland, and separating the Baltic Sea from the Gulf of Bothnia, lies a vast group of islands known as the Åland archipelago. Consisting of more than 6,500 islands, Åland is home to a species of ... -
Prediction of aboveground net primary productivity and foliage projective cover in an arid area of China
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-09)It appears that two main factors hinder the effective incorporation of ecological information derived from computer modeling in resource management at large spatial scales: (1) some models are not ecologically sound and ...
