Controls on suspended sediment concentrations and turbidity within a reforested, Southern Appalachian headwater basin
(MDPI AG, 2015-06-19)Water quality data collected between 2007 and 2014 within the Allen Creek Watershed were used to: (1) determine the factors controlling the temporal variations in turbidity and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) within ... -
Coral mortality, recovery and reef degradation at Mexico Rocks Patch Reef Complex, Northern Belize, Central America: 1995–1997
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2004-11)The 1995 coral bleaching event in the western Caribbean was the first reported episode that significantly affected the Belize barrier and lagoonal patch reefs. Bleaching was attributed to a 2 mo period of warm water ... -
Depositional and structural history of the Sedgwick basin, South Central Kansas in relation to petroleum entrapment
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The Sedgwick Basin is an important hydrocarbon producing area in Kansas. Subsurface structural and isopach (thickness) maps and cross-sections illustrate the depositional and tectonic history of the area. It has undergone ... -
Depositional patterns and stratal relationships on the distal margins of a foreland basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations, Bighorn Basin, WY
(Wichita State University, 2012-12)Depositional patterns and stratal relationships in the Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring and lower Sundance Formations were influenced by a combination of paleotopographic highs and eustatic changes in the eastern Bighorn ... -
Depositional Patterns and Stratigraphic Relationships in a Sag Basin: Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations, NW Wyoming
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2011-05-04)The Middle Jurassic Gypsum Spring, Piper and Sundance Formations of Wyoming are marine and evaporite deposits formed in a shallow epeiric sea east of an overthrust belt that existed near the western margin of North America. ... -
Developing global awareness and responsible world citizenship with global learning
(Taylor & Francis, 2008-02)Global learning is a student-centered activity in which learners of different cultures use technology to improve their global perspectives while remaining in their home countries. This article examines the use of global ... -
Development of Middle Jurassic microbial buildupsin the Bighorn Basin of northern Wyoming
(2007-05)This research examines the development of microbial buildups in the Middle Jurassic Lower Sundance Formation in the Bighorn Basin of northwestern Wyoming. Previous studies of Jurassic microbial research have focused on ... -
Development, growth, water-use and yield of spring and winter wheat in response to time of sowing
(CSIRO Publishing, 1991-12)The development, growth, water-use and yield of spring (Banks) and winter (Quarrion) cultivars of wheat were measured in response to time of sowing under rainfed conditions. Crop duration shortened in both cultivars (210 ... -
Digital ecology
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)Late in the 1990s, Nick Klomp was studying short-tailed shearwaters, one of the most common bird species along Australia 's eastern coastline. During the breeding season, the shearwaters build their nests on off-shore ... -
Dissolution of Mn-bearing dolomite drives elevated Cr(vi) occurrence in a Permian redbed aquifer
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-11-09)Municipalities in central Oklahoma, U.S.A. increasingly rely on water drawn from the Central Oklahoma Aquifer (COA) as surface water resources have not grown in proportion to population and current water demands. However, ... -
Earthquakes magnitude prediction using deep learning for the Horn of Africa
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-07-01)Earthquakes are vibrations of the Earth's surface that can cause ground shaking, fires, tsunamis, landslides and fissures. These natural phenomena can cause destruction and kill lives. When there is a possibility of an ... -
Eastborough oil field, Sedgwick County, Kansas
(Wichita State University, 1932- 05)The Eastborough Oil Field was discovered in 1929 and since that time has developed into one of the important fields of Sedgwick County. Its production comes from the top of the "Mississippi Lime", Misener Sand and Viola ... -
Editorial: Westward growth of Laurentia by pre-late Jurassic terrane accretion, Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho, United States: a discussion
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-01)Advances in the Blue Mountains province (BMP) and adjacent areas of the Pacific Northwest have required an occasional updating of terms used to express new concepts (“trans-Idaho discontinuity” [Yates 1968], “Sr-isotopic ... -
Effects of added organic matter and water on soil carbon sequestration in an arid region
(PLoS ONE, 2013-07-16)It is generally predicted that global warming will stimulate primary production and lead to more carbon (C) inputs to soil. However, many studies have found that soil C does not necessarily increase with increased plant ... -
Effects of burial in sand and water supply regime on seedling emergence of six species
(Oxford University Press, 2005-06)Air seeding has long been regarded as a quick and successful measure for vegetation rehabilitation in China. However, seedling emergence of often-used species including Agriophyllum squarrosum, Artemisia sphaerocephala, ... -
Effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala
(Wiley, 2005-05)Artemisia sphaerocephala is widely used for vegetation rehabilitation, but its germination is very low after air seeding of achenes. We explored effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination. Results show ... -
Effects of quick vs slow-release fertilizers on nitrate movement into groundwater following precipitation events
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)This research investigated the effect of quick-release and slow-release fertilizers on the transport of nitrate through the subsurface. The main focus of this study was studying nitrate concentrations in subsurface water ... -
Effects of residual hydrocarbons on the reed community after 10 years of oil extraction and the effectiveness of different biological indicators for the long-term risk assessments
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015-01)The selection of certain indicators is critical to undertake ecological risk assessments of long-term oil pollution and other environmental changes. The indicators should be easily and routinely monitored, be sensitive to ...
