David Foster and Ben Goscombe (courtesy faculty member) recently published two large “focus” papers on the Neoproterozoic-Cambrian Damara Orogen in Namibia. A comprehensive analysis of the structures at the intersection of two major continental-continent collisional, suture zone was published in Geoscience Frontiers (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674987117300968). A review of the metamorphic architecture of the Damara Belt was published […]

Delta of a distributary on the Mississippi River created by coastal engineering efforts may have the potential to build long-term sinks of greenhouse gases.Many deltas are threatened by greater subsidence (subterranean sinking and caving) and relative sea-level rise compared to coastlines without deltas. Thus engineering efforts to expand carbon-sequestering habitats must accommodate total carbon sequestration […]
