Full textThe role of insolation as an instigator for crack initiation in rock is still a continuously perplexing topic. An immense amount of data has been collected on the influence of insolation on cracking—however, ongoing questions arise regarding the role this process plays in physical weathering. A study conducted by Dr. Martha Cary Eppes (2016) focused on the role of insolation in the initiation of cracking on a granite boulder in a temperate climate (North Carolina, USA), where 11 months of continuously recorded acoustic emissions (AE) data were used as a proxy for cracking. When these data were compared with simultaneously collected climate and rock surface data, it was found that insolation is a preliminary and contributing factor of crack initiation. However, this comprehensive data set was only representative of one climate zone—therefore, it was necessary to evaluate this relationship in other climates to support these conclusions. The following is a comparative study involving a similar granite boulder placed for an unprecedented three-year period in a semi-arid climate (New Mexico, USA). Utilizing the instrumentation of the Eppes 2016 study, acoustic emission sensors, strain gages, thermocouples, moisture sensors, and a site-located scientific weather station were deployed and monitored. During the 3-year study, 303,912 AE events (avg. 101,304 per year) occurred over a total 14,853 individual minutes over 713 days. A total 212,856 events occurred between 12:58 p.m. and 9:04 p.m. accounting for 70% of the overall deployment period. Comparable to the results of the Eppes 2016 study, high-event days (≥ 50 events) accounted for 98% of total events. Both boulders experienced the majority of events in the northern hemisphere and eastern position of the rock and no trends were indicated concerning the timing of events with precipitation. The results of this study 1) support the hypotheses that diurnal insolation contributes to the initiation and continuation of physical rock weathering and cracking whether alone or combined with temperature variations, and 2) suggest that this is characteristic of variable global locations, climates, and rock types.

Stiles, Lauren J. "Magnetic Susceptibility in Soils in Baton Rouge, Louisiana| Potential for Anthropogenic Impact on the Environment." Thesis, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1557578.
Full textMagnetic susceptibility has been used as an effective tool for affordable, rapid, and highly sensitive measurements that provide information about the compositional changes of mineral materials in rocks and soils. It has been demonstrated that a relationship between heavy metal concentrations, pollution, and magnetic susceptibility exists. The objective of this study is to use magnetic susceptibility as a method for the detection of the anthropogenic impact on the environment within Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Based on preliminary results from a previous study, we investigated a 100 square mile area, covering a variety of environmental settings, including urban areas and industrialized parts of the inner city. At each site, 20 magnetic susceptibility readings were taken and discrete surface and subsurface samples were collected for subsequent laboratory analysis.
Contour maps and histograms of magnetic susceptibility values indicate a close correlation between environmental setting and the intensity of magnetic susceptibility. Magnetic susceptibly increases within urban and industrialized areas compared to rural areas within the area of investigation. Enhanced susceptibility was observed in the industrialized areas in all magnetic parameters, including susceptibility maps of field measurements, discrete samples, and isothermal remanent magnetization. The field susceptibility data display a stronger correlation compared to the discrete sample analysis because of the statistically significant amount of data collected at each site. There is no apparent correlation between magnetic susceptibility and lithology/soil type in this area. Acquisition curves of the isothermal remnant magnetization indicate the presence of both high- and low coercivity minerals, probably magnetite with a small amount of hematite or goethite as the carriers of magnetic remanence.

Full textPh.D.
The geologic theory of plate tectonics, sometimes referred to as "the dance of the continents," proposes a vision of Earth as dynamic body in motion that is constantly shifting and altering its form. Geophysical research during the 1950s and 1960s, especially in relation to Harry Hess's seafloor spreading hypothesis, Fred Vine and D. H. Matthews' geomagnetic reversal hypothesis, and J. Tuzo Wilson's classification of new faults in Earth's crust, established enough scientific evidence to suggest a viable model of this dance of the continents. This led to the geoscientific community widely accepting the theory of plate tectonics by the end of the 1960s. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate how the idea of Earth as a dynamic body in motion can be connected to the experience of one's own body in motion and in movement practice. Emerging from my work as an artist and an educator, this research analyzes the creative processes and the phenomenological essences of two geologically inspired dances, and develops a pedagogical application of geosomatic movement practices in an undergraduate course entitled Dancing Earth, Dancing Body. I use a phenomenological method of analysis informed by Max van Manen and Clark Moustakas to examine what it means to embody terrestrial forces, entities, and landscapes, and how geologic structures and scientific ideas can be translated into anthropomorphic movement. In chapter 4, "Sediments of Meaning: Phenomenological Analysis of Pieces of Pele," I devise a theoretical structure for critical reflection upon and development of the choreographer's creativity, which I call a meta-choreographic process. This essentially hermeneutic method of reflection allows choreographers to more deeply understand their creative process and aesthetic criteria, and how they construct meaning through movement. The analysis in chapter 5, "Continental Shift: Phenomenological Analysis of Tectonic Suite," illuminates the profound role of metaphor in both the creative process and the viewing experience in relation to this particular dance from my GeoDance repertoire. Using the framework of George Lakoff and Mark Johnson's analysis in Metaphors We Live By, I demonstrate how dance can function to create coherent metaphors. In chapter 6, "Dancing Earth, Dancing Body: Experiential Learning of Geologic Concepts," I use an ethnographic framework to examine student perspectives of Dancing Earth, Dancing Body. This analysis reveals that, as the instructor of the course, I fostered, and students applied, three distinct modes of creative inquiry in the classroom: imagistic, language-based, and collaborative. Embedded within these three modes of creative inquiry were a variety of somatic experiences and refocused dance-based exercises that amounted to a technique of sorts, with the specific goal of awakening and fostering the development of our body-mind-environment connection. I theorize this collection of experiences and exercises as a geosomatic movement practice. Illuminated throughout this dissertation are key sources from the fields of dance, geology, somatics, ecology, phenomenology, eco-phenomenology, and ethnography--evincing the interdisciplinary nature of this study. At the heart of this interdisciplinary inquiry lies a fundamental awareness that our experience of our bodies is integrated with our experience of atmosphere, terrain, and gravitation. Therefore, by deepening our understanding of how we can cope with these physical aspects of our environment, we can deepen our understanding of Earth and its processes.

Hydrocarbon production throughout the continental United States has declined in past decades. New interpretations together with advanced recovery techniques can increase production in older fields. Re-examining these types of underdeveloped resources is a simple and cost effective tool that can be readily used to increase hydrocarbon production throughout the mid-continent. Pennsylvanian sandstones throughout Oklahoma and Kansas are known for their excellent reservoir qualities. The focus of this study is the upper Pennsylvanian Tonkawa Formation, a sandstone dominated unit. The Tonkawa has been informally correlated to both the Stalnaker and Tonganoxie sandstones in Kansas. Previous publications do not present a unified understanding of the depositional environments that are seen across state borders. The interpretations vary from fluvio-deltaic to marine environments. A cohesive interpretation is necessary to understand paleo-processes and efficiently exploit the reservoir for hydrocarbons. The study presents a regional analysis covering an eleven county area in northwest Oklahoma. Analysis of core and well log data is used to determine the range of depositional environments of the Tonkawa sandstone. Sedimentary structures, mineral assemblages, and lithologies of selected cores are described and correlated with well log data. With this data, structural isopach maps are constructed using Petra software. Earlier interpretations have relied primarily on well log data, focusing on core data rather than geophysical logs, allowing for a more detailed and accurate interpretation. Analysis of transitional sedimentary sequences, such as the Tonkawa, can be applied to sandstones deposited in similar environments throughout the mid-continent.
