A Study on the Characteristics and Genesis of Smectite Deposits in the Georgia Kaolin Belts
Creators: name: Ormsby, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Deposits of smectite clay, of unknown origin, have been found in association with kaolin in the Marion Member of the Huber Formation and Buffalo Creek Formation in both Wilkinson and Washington County, Georgia. The presence of smectite within kaolin deposits in both the KT Tucker and Crutchfield mines is atypical for Coastal Plain kaolins. X-ray diffraction analysis of samples from these locations shows predominantly large, high Hinckley Index kaolinite crystals, consistent with Buffalo Creek Formation or Marion Member kaolin deposits. The most probable origin of the smectite inclusions is that the smectitic clays, or their source material, were deposited in mixed beds with the pre-existing Cretaceous age kaolin during sea level regressions or other erosional events. The irregular locations of the smectite deposits can be attributed to the mechanism of deposition as well as the numerous erosional events the occurred in the region since that deposition.

Drawing on document review and group discussions, this report serves to inform further work on developing data standards for the collection, use and sharing of SDOH data within digital health systems to address health inequities. The report also provides an overview of the measures and constructs of racism and discrimination at the intersection with material hardship and healthcare access that may be of interest to a wider audience concerned with intersectionality and health. The work presented in this report reflects the collective output for the 2021-22 SDOH Working Group.
A Hurricane Record of Jekyll Island, Georgia
Creators: name: McCartha, Daniel
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Jekyll Island, Georgia is located within the Georgia Bight, on the Atlantic coast of the United State. In recent history, the Georgia Bight has been less frequently hit by hurricanes compared to other areas along the Atlantic coast. To determine if Jekyll Island has had a more active hurricane past, a paleohurricane record was obtained from the northern tip of the island, within Waterfall Marsh. A 500 year old hurricane record was inferred from the sediment layers obtained from the marsh. In core JE-4, a sandy shell layer containing nearshore foraminifera was observed, providing evidence of a hurricane event. A radiocarbon date of 406 a BP was obtained for the sandy shell layer, providing a minimum age for the hurricane event. A hurricane return interval of one major hurricane per 500 years was also determined for the study area.

Contaminant Hydrogeology Knowledge Base (CHKb) of Georgia, USA
Creators: name: Sarajlic, Semir
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2013

description: Hydrogeologists collect data through studies that originate from a diverse and growing set of instruments that measure, for example, geochemical constituents of surface and groundwater. Databases store and publish the collected data on the Web, and the volume of data is quickly increasing, which makes accessing data problematic and time consuming for individuals. One way to overcome this problem is to develop ontology to formally and explicitly represent the domain (e.g., contaminant hydrogeology) knowledge. Using OWL and RDF, contaminant hydrogeology ontology (CHO) is developed to manage hydrological spatial data for Georgia, USA. CHO is a conceptual computer model for the contaminant hydrogeology domain in which concepts (e.g. contaminant, aquifer) and their relationships (e.g. pollutes) are formerly and explicitly defined. Cyberinfrastructure for exposing CHO and datasets (i.e., CHKb) as Linked Data on the Web is developed. Cyberinfrastructure consists of storing, managing, querying, and visualizing CHKb that can be accessed from URL: cho.gsu.edu.

Enhancing Georgia's Paleohurricane Record: A Comprehensive Analysis of Vibracores from St. Catherines Island
Creators: name: Braun, Erick
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Hurricanes are amongst the most devastating of the world?s natural disasters and can cause billions of dollars? worth of damage every year. Efforts to predict where and when tropical cyclones might strike, then, could potentially save money and lives. A lack of data exists for the GA coast, and the future direction of climate change could potentially bring more hurricanes to the state. This study provides information to enhance the paleohurricane record by examining three vibracores drawn from St. Catherines Island, GA.  After interpreting the environments that generated the sediment found in one of these cores and corroborating evidence from the additional cores, six potential hurricane events were discovered, five of which were likely major hurricanes, category 3 or higher. Magnitudes were determined by comparison to event six, thought to be ?The Great Gale of 1804?, a major hurricane recorded by the sedimentary record of St. Catherines Island.

The Paleoenvironment of the Lower Mississippi River Delta During the Late Holocene
Creators: name: Simpson, Simmone
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Palynological, lithological, loss-on-ignition, and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy data were collected from a modified Livingstone core retrieved from Bay Jimmy, Louisiana. This data indicates a slow, general regression of the marsh due to sea level rise. This trend was punctuated by several catastrophic events including floods from around ca. 600 Yr BP and ca. 360 Yr BP, a fire around ca. 950 Yr BP, and still more flooding caused by the landfall of Hurricane Audrey in AD 1957, and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in AD 2005. In more recent years (220 Yr BP to present) the marsh appears to have thinned out. This may be due to anthropogenic barriers, which have inhibited the marsh?s natural retreat as witnessed over the past 1200 years recorded by this core.

description: Objectives: Multiple health behaviour change is a viable strategy to promote health outcomes. An example is the use of running behaviour to support smoking cessation in the group-mediated Run to Quit program. On the basis that changes in running and smoking identity were related to changes in running and smoking behaviour among individuals in the Run to Quit program, the purpose of this study was to extend these findings by examining key predictors of change in both running and smoking identity. Methods: We analyzed data collected from 450 adult individuals (70.67% female, and 92.44% white) during the program evaluation of Run to Quit from 2016 to 2018. Participants completed assessments at week 1 (baseline), week 3 (mid-program), and week 10 (follow-up) of the program. Relevant predictor variables for change in identity were identified by drawing from theory (identity theory, identity control theory, physical activity self-definition model, social identity theory) and past research regarding exercise and smoking identity. Potential predictors of changes in running and smoking identity included changes in behaviour, self-efficacy, perceptions of the social environment (task and social cohesion, descriptive norms), as well as smoking identity and running identity, respectively. Two regression models, using residualized change scores (for each variable) and relative Pratt indices, were constructed 15 for both running and smoking identity. Results: Changes in running self-efficacy, running frequency, and individual attractions to the group exercise tasks were significant and meaningful predictors of change in running identity, whereas changes in objectively measured smoking behaviour and running identity were significant and meaningful predictors of change in smoking identity. Conclusion: Consistent with identity theories and past research, ensuring individuals develop a sense of efficacy and enjoy group exercise tasks both represent viable strategies to enhance exercise identity. Including an exercise component within smoking cessation programs may help individuals replace their existing smoking identity with a healthier exercise identity.

Understanding The Influence Of Participants' Preferences On The Affiliation Network Of Churches Using Agent-based Modeling
Creators: name: Zhang, Yingzhi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: As the affiliation network of churches may potentially benefit public health, the impact of participants? preferences on the affiliation network bears further study. This paper attempts to use agent-based modeling techniques associated with geographic information to study the affiliation network between churches and participants. Using churches in ZIP Code 30318 in Atlanta in Georgia, this study specifies the preferences of participants as personal radii and choice patterns. Results suggest (1) personal radii of participants are positively related to the size of affiliation network and the centralities of churches; (2) the change of choice pattern of participants can lead to a sharp reduction in size of the affiliation network of churches; (3) The centralities of churches among the affiliation network are corresponding to population density of census tracts. Findings can be used to understand the formulation of affiliation network of churches and their relationship with participants? preferences.

GIS Least-Cost Route Modeling Of The Proposed Trans-Anatolian Pipeline In Western Turkey
Creators: name: Kelly, Austin
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The routing of the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline plays an important role in the future energy security of the European Union. The natural gas pipeline is planned to run from the natural gas fields in the Caspian Sea through Turkey. This project is a case study for a Geographic Information System (GIS) least-cost route analysis of a section of the proposed pipeline in Western Turkey. The route analysis comprised of weighting multiple types of criteria in a compiled risk assessment map that was analyzed by a least-cost algorithm to display the least hazardous route through the study area. Multiple varieties of criteria were considered such as, lithology, slope of terrain, environmental and social risk factors, e.g. proximity to natural reserves and urban centers, to provide the least hazardous route through the region. The derived least cost paths were more efficient than the proposed route in the relative cost associated with each route.
Tri-Octahedral Domains and Crystallinity in Synthetic Clays: Implications for Lacustrine Paleoenvironmental Reconstruction
Creators: name: Pickering, Rebecca
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: The proportion of authigenic to detrital clay minerals in terrestrial sediments is variable. It has previously been hypothesized that pure Mg-silicates in regions such as Amboseli Basin in Kenya occur due to the absence of Al-rich detritus. We tested this by replicating two Mg-silicate synthesis experiments while adding Al-rich smectite. The first study produced an X-ray amorphous Mg-silicate gel, with little response to addition of Al-rich smectite. The second experiment shifted the 060 peak associated with clay octahedral sheets, suggesting we synthesized trioctahedral domains in a smectite structure. Peak height increased linearly with more heating, indicating crystallinity changes. These results confirm that Al-rich detritus can influence the mineralogy of authigenic clays in saline, alkaline settings. By examining how clay neoformation is affected by silica saturation, we can better understand how the clays found in Neogene lacustrine environments are formed and the climate and of that time.
Mobility in the Neoliberal City: Atlanta's Left Behind Neighborhoods
Creators: name: Puckett, Mechelle
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: Neoliberal reforms alter cities all the way down to their very urban form.  This research expands our knowledge of residential mobility brought on by neoliberalizing forces by examining two particular approaches to housing reform that resulted in intense periods of residential mobility- the closure and demolition of public housing projects and relaxed regulations on mortgage lending practices which contributed to bursting the housing bubble and a steep rise in foreclosures.  These events brought significant change to Atlanta's neighborhoods, leaving some with high rates of vacancy.  Through GIS and qualitative research involving the analysis of semi-structured interviews with forty residents of four affected neighborhoods on the southwest side of Atlanta- Pittsburgh/Mechanicsville, English Avenue, Beecher Hills, and Greenbriar, this research will tell the story of how residents of these neighborhoods experienced being left behind by both outward residential mobility and the government agencies that no longer have the resources available to support neighborhood stability.
Authigenic Minerals: Locality 80, Bed I Tuffs, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania

description: Understanding climatic and water-mineral chemistry affecting hominin habitats during
the period 1.92 to 1.80 Ma in Paleolake Olduvai basin, Tanzania is of social and scientific interest. Previous Olduvai research reported climate cycles in bulk sample mineral analyses. Xray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and color analyses of Locality 80 Tuff Bed I samples tested the null hypothesis: Alteration mineralogy of Central Basin volcanic Tuffs IA through IF reflect salinity/alkalinity cycles. Such cyclicity was not found. Several primary authigenic minerals were confirmed, but not as previously reported. Tuffs are thoroughly altered, mostly to potassium-feldspars, zeolites, and carbonates, plus other feldspars and clay minerals (clays not in this study). Nevertheless, other findings reveal there is more to be learned. Results imply a major
geochemical shift around 1.869-1.857 Ma, from non-zeolite forming environments to zeolite forming environments. A newly developed age model could aid re-analysis of past work and assist future research.

Space, Politics and Occupy Wall Street
Creators: name: Heck, Sarah
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In September of 2011 Zuccotti Park, located in the heart of downtown Manhattan, became a site of political contestation when several hundred activists pitched their tents, set up their signs, and began to occupy the park, in what later became known as Occupy Wall Street. Occupy Wall Street became part of the larger Occupy moment, in which public parks in most major cities and college towns across the nation were occupied for several months by protestors contesting a range of issues including the growing disparity in wealth, corporate influence on democracy, and deepening social injustices. By the end of 2011 the nationwide eviction of most Occupy encampments resulted in the assumed failure of Occupy to challenge successfully contemporary politics and to organize a clear list of demands. In this thesis, I draw on ethnographic material collected in 2012 to interpret the spatial strategies and spatialities of Occupy and argue that for Occupy, this lack of focus is a strength in that it creates a space for alternative political discussions and practices otherwise less visible or nonexistent in the current political system. I examine the spatialities of Occupy, by which I mean the networks, mobilities, and places of Occupy, and argue that such an analysis offers an entry point in which to consider the ways in which space and politics are co-produced. In order to examine the relations between space and politics, I locate the specific spatial practices and strategies utilized by participants both in the highly visible occupation of public parks and direct actions and less visible organization spaces.
The Implementation and Education of Geographic Information Systems in a Local Government for Municipal Planning: A Case Study of Dangriga, Belize

Year: 2014

description: Implementing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in a developing country can improve spatial planning and decision-making.  Utilizing a Participatory GIS framework of maximizing community empowerment and limiting marginalization, this thesis research explores the barriers associated with implementing GIS in Dangriga, Belize and how to overcome those barriers.  The research included the identification of local needs that could benefit from the use of GIS, the collection of local data through group and individual data collections, and the utilization of locally collected data to conduct GIS training sessions.  It was learned that Dangriga faces many barriers found in other developing countries: institutional inertia, resource and technical availabilities, and a lack of trained personnel.  Through the collection of local data and training sessions utilizing the data, the barriers of implementing GIS in Dangriga can be minimized.

description: Excerpts: The consideration of any one use of water must be treated as an integral part of an analysis of water requirements for all uses by all sectors of the economy. The shorter the supply of water, the more essential the need for taking account of all competing uses. Consideration of the water needs for any particular purpose is but an initial step in approaching the problem of comprehensive multipurpose development. The problem for this paper might be stated in these terms: Can we foresee a time when water shortages now evident in some areas will become more widespread, thus creating a national water problem? when using water for one purpose means giving up some other purpose? for example, when increasing irrigation might mean limiting industrial use? when increasing industrial use might mean limiting fish production or recreation? Will we reach a point where the availability of the water resource affects not only economic productivity but also limits economic activity in an area and thus restricts employment? I will attempt to explore these questions in terms of economic growth at the national level and to explore how variations in the occurrence of water resources influence regional economic development as distinguished from national economic growth.

description: In 2018, Canada enacted the Cannabis Act, becoming only the second country (after Uruguay) to legalize the recreational consumption of cannabis. Although there is ongoing global disagreement on the risk-benefit profile of cannabis with increasing legalization in many parts of the world, the evidence of rising cannabis use prevalence post-legalization has been consistent. In contrast, post-legalization changes in various cannabis-related metrics have been inconsistent in Canada and other parts of the world. Furthermore, the implications of cannabis legalization on substance-related harms and benefits for people who use unregulated drugs (PWUD), particularly opioids, remain unclear. Finally, while Canada did not legalize cannabis to address the opioid crisis, there is rising scientific and popular interest in the therapeutic potential of cannabis to mitigate opioid-related harms. This perspective highlights the implications of cannabis legalization on substance-related benefits and harms for people who use opioids, the current state of Canadian research, and suggestions for future directions.
A Spatiotemporal And Geochemical Evaluation Of Groundwater Quality Adjacent To Natural Gas Drilling And Hydraulic Fracturing In Dimock Township, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania
Creators: name: Hottenstein, Aaron
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2014

description: In the Marcellus shale region, elevated concentrations of dissolved methane in private water wells has been shown to be linked to natural gas extraction, but little is known of the connections between methane, gas production, and water chemistry.  This study evaluates the relationships of methane to the major chemical constituents of groundwater by comparing analytical data obtained from a stray gas investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP).  Furthermore, spatiotemporal relationships of dissolved methane to gas well production and total iron (Fe) concentrations of groundwater to adjacent gas wellheads are examined.  The objectives of this study were to identify essential pre- and post-drill test parameters that are sensitive to methane, and to determine what water types are associated with stray gas.  It was discovered that total Fe concentrations in groundwater increased and sulfate (SO4) concentrations decreased likely as the result of redox reactions by anaerobic microbes in the presence of stray gas.  Therefore, total Fe and SO4 should be mandated pre- and post-drill test parameters for baseline water quality assessments.
The Effects of Urbanization on Baseflow over Time: An Analysis of Changing Watersheds and Stream Flow Response in Georgia
Creators: name: Furtsch, Emily
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: This study examines the relationship between baseflow and urbanization over time with the help of spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems. The urbanization parameters used were population and urban land use. Five urban and three non-urban streams were chosen for analysis in the state of Georgia. Four percentile baseflows for each stream were identified and analyzed for trends over time. A correlation analysis was also run to determine how baseflow varies as a function of urbanization. According to the trend analysis, the baseflows over time were considered stable or had no statistically significant trend. The correlation analysis between baseflow and urbanization revealed some scattered relationships though a general conclusion cannot be drawn. The simplicity of the study may have contributed to not capturing all of the baseflow changes with the urbanization parameters.
Possibilities For the Urban Grower: Finding Sites in the City of Atlanta using Geographic Information Systems

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Urban agriculture and the local food movement have taken main stage both in academic discourse and public and political media. Socio-environmental downfalls of our current industrial food systems have been highlighted, compelling the public and political spheres to engage in activities that support the integration of local, urban food-growing systems. This thesis aims to contribute to that integration by examining possibilities for urban agriculture within the city limits of Atlanta. Through geospatial analysis methods and consultation of city and county property records, possible future sites were ascertained using socioeconomic and ecological factors, with 21 key neighborhoods found to have the greatest potential and need to transform existing land use for agricultural purposes. This research contributes to the larger goal of systemic integration of urban and local food systems into our current economic, political and social landscape, and the study is framed using social theoretical insights from urban geography. While further examination of these urban agricultural food systems is vital, this thesis contributes to broader discussions about urban environmental sustainability and supports the roots of the local food movement by identifying possible sites for food cultivation and food markets.

description: In summer of 2012, dust and processed ore were collected from ~54 villages by U.S. CDC and Nigerian colleagues after the discovery of widespread lead poisoning in northwest Nigeria, and provided to the Environmental Research Laboratory at GSU. Various geochemical analyses were conducted to assess the magnitude of Pb exposure. ICP-AES determined Pb concentrations as high as 61,000 ppm. SEM-EDS and XRD analyses of high concentration samples (>400 ppm) revealed the presence of gold, galena, and cerussite. XRD Cluster Analysis revealed one outlier and 3 clusters. Samples with Pb>400ppm Pb had a strong correlation between Pb and S. GIS Kriging maps illustrate geochemical spatial distribution. Carbonate combustion analysis found TIC has a negative correlation to Pb. Approximately 3% of samples contained >400ppm of Pb (U.S. EPA RSSL). Discovery of galena (PbS) and it?s secondary weathering product cerussite (PbCO3), a highly bioavailable Pb-bearing phase, were discovered in these high Pb samples, indicating a continuing threat to human health.
Silt Geochronology and Mineralogy, Mount Daisen, Japan

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: The mineralogy and geochronology of silt fractions were determined for a representative Andisol (volcanic soil) from the Mt. Daisen area as well as for collected bulk reference fallout materials from Japan, and Kyoto dust samples. X-ray diffraction techniques and K-Ar methods were used to determine the age values and mineralogy of test materials. The reference fallout material was the youngest (21 Ma). The Kyoto dust was oldest (210 Ma) of all materials. The silt from the Andisol yielded older age values closer to the top and younger values closer to the parent tephra. The silt mineralogy revealed small amounts of 10  and 14  phases. The presence of these phases in the silt fractions of soils having parent dactic-basaltic tephra (Ma) combined with the geochronology ages of the silt fraction (21 ? 210 Ma) support the hypothesis that there is an aeolian influence present in the Andisol.
Cartography for Communities: An Examination of Participatory Action Mapping
Creators: name: Boll, Amber
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Participatory Action Mapping (PAM) as a methodology strives to fill the gaps created by participatory and critical mapping methodologies. Public participatory GIS (PPGIS), which often fails to elicit a bottom up approach to mapping, and community mapping, which typically produces critical mappings that often fail to be taken seriously by decision makers both fall short in offering members of the public meaningful opportunities to make claims about particular places. Through the implementation of a critical mapping methodology that utilizes professional cartography techniques, PAM offers community organizations the ability to assert their claims through maps. Using a critical cartography lens, this case study focuses on PAM with a community-based organization in west Atlanta and reveals how this methodology can be successful in engaging professional mapping practices to communicate the truths of, and subsequently inspire action among, community members.

description: Utilizing metadata from existing exertional and exertional-heat stress studies, the study aimed to determine if the exercise-associated increase in core body temperature can predict the change in exercise-induced gastrointestinal syndrome (EIGS) biomarkers and exercise-associated gastrointestinal symptoms (Ex-GIS). Endurance-trained individuals completed 2 h of running exercise in temperate (21.2-30.0°C) to hot (35.0-37.2°C) ambient conditions (n = 132 trials). Blood samples were collected pre- and post-exercise to determine the change in gastrointestinal integrity biomarkers and systemic inflammatory cytokines. Physiological and thermoregulatory strain variables were assessed every 10–15 min during exercise. The strength of the linear relationship between maximal (M-Tre) and change (Δ Tre) in rectal temperature and EIGS variables was determined via Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. While the strength of prediction was determined via simple and multiple linear regression analyses dependent on screened EIGS and Ex-GIS confounding factors. Significant positive correlations between Tre maximum (M-Tre) and change (Δ Tre) with I-FABP (rs = 0.434, p < 0.001; and rs = 0.305, p < 0.001; respectively), sCD14 (rs = 0.358, p < 0.001; and rs = 0.362, p < 0.001), systemic inflammatory response profile (SIR-Profile) (p < 0.001), and total Ex-GIS (p < 0.05) were observed. M-Tre and Δ Tre significantly predicted (adjusted R2) magnitude of change in I-FABP (R2(2,123)=0.164, p < 0.001; and R2(2,119)=0.058, p = 0.011; respectively), sCD14 (R2(2,81)=0.249, p < 0.001; and R2(2,77)=0.214, p < 0.001), SIR-Profile (p < 0.001), and total Ex-GIS (p < 0.05). Strong to weak correlations were observed between M-Tre and Δ Tre with plasma concentrations of I-FABP, sCD14, SIR-Profile, and Ex-GIS in response to exercise. M-Tre and Δ Tre can predict the magnitude of these EIGS variables and Ex-GIS in response to exercise.

The Geochemical Trends of Major and Select Trace Elements through a Soil Profile Near Mt. Daisen, Japan
Creators: name: Jackson, Cynthia
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: After a catastrophic 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Japan in April 2011, a chain of events was set in motion leading to the release of several volatile radionuclides of Cs and I into the atmosphere due to explosions in three of the six reactor cores at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP). This study shows the enrichment of stable Cs relative to other alkali metals at the surface soil samples collected from a 1m thick andisol at Mt. Daisen, Japan, roughly 700 Km SW from the FDNPP. Cs is not enriched in three surface soils collected from the Fukushima Prefecture outside the restricted area. The relative enrichment of Cs compared to other alkali metals show the potential of long-term fixation of radiocesium in these Mt. Daisen soils.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2015

description: Green roofs can be an effective mitigation strategy to offset the environmental impact that urbanization has on the environment. The roof area for the city of Atlanta and for the Georgia State University campus was used to compare the effectiveness of green roofs at removing pollutants, abating stormwater runoff, and reducing the urban heat island at different scales. Results show that the warmest part of the city is the urban core with a mean of 33.5øC, which is also the area of the city with the highest percentage of impermeable surfaces at 91%. At the GSU scale, green roofs can reduce land surface temperature in the urban core up to 2.62øC, remove up to 73 kg of atmospheric pollutants annually, and reduce stormwater runoff by up to 32.3% annually. Results were less significant at the Atlanta scale due to the large amount of vegetated surfaces that already exist.

description: The purpose of this study is to understand mineral diagenesis authigenic mineral and the effect of climate on mineral of Pleistocene-Holocene sediment deposits in the Southern Kenya Rift. Lake Magadi unique geologic settings are characterized by extreme alkalinity and high silica activities. The mineralogical analysis was achieved by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) applications. The bulk mineralogy (quartz, halite, calcite) is the same on all localities due to similar volcaniclastics compositions throughout the Kenya Rift Valley. The clay mineralogy significantly differ among the groups of sample localities. The differences reflect different tectonic settings and ambient climate regime. In humid climate at higher elevation detrital clay minerals are abundant (feldspars, phillipsite). At lower elevation like Lake Magadi, the clay fractions dominated by authigenic minerals (zeolites and silicate minerals found with zeolites). These results show the potential of clay minerals as terrestrial climate proxies.
The use of in situ gamma radiation measurements as a method of determining radon potential in urban environments

description: Radon is a radioactive gas that is the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. While radon is natural and ubiquitous, higher concentrations greatly increase cancer risk. As such, understanding the spatial distribution of radon potential is key to planning and public health efforts. This project tests a method of determining radon potential using in situ measurements of gamma radiation. The in situ measurements were used to create a raster of gamma emissions in the study region using kriging. The resulting model showed that the operational scale of gamma radiation in the study region was 4.5 km. Indoor radon concentrations were then assigned gamma emission rates from the raster and the two were compared. While there was evidence of an association between higher gamma and high radon, the gamma readings were not quantitatively predictive. As such only categorical predictions of radon potential and risk could be made.
Interweaving Geochemical and Geospatial Data to Identify High Concentrations of Metal Contamination from Copper, Lead, and Zinc within Utoy Creek, Atlanta Ga

description: Utilizing geochemical and geospatial data to explore the spatial variability of metals within streambed sediment of a local waterway may help to identify anthropogenic input of copper, lead, and zinc in urbanized streams. Utoy Creek is an urbanized stream located just southwest of downtown Atlanta. Baseline trace metal values and a reference site were used to determine if copper, lead, and zinc concentrations were higher or lower than baseline or reference site values. The Atlanta Metro Region (AMR) had over 2,100 miles of impaired streams listed on the 2008 303(d) list. This type of study can be used as a proxy to help determine how "impaired" local urbanized streams really are and to identify areas of interest for future studies. For this study, 42 sites were selected for streambed sediment collection, chemical analysis was preformed, and GIS and statistical analysis were preformed. This study shows that several areas in Utoy Creek show elevated metal concentrations of copper, lead, and zinc.
Authigenic Clays used as Terrestrial Climate Proxies: Locality 80, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
Creators: name: Simpson, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2016

description: Authigenic clays are potential proxies for paleoclimate change when formed under saline conditions. Between 1.9 -1.7 mya, Olduvai was a closed-hydrologic basin into which Al- and Fe- rich detrital clays were transported from surrounding soils. Authigenic Mg-rich smectite formed within the basin due to chemical alteration in alkaline and saline conditions. 40 samples were chosen from a stratigraphic section in the center of the paleolake and analyzed to characterize the geochemical facies of the material using XRD, EMPA, and FTIR. ~70% of samples were Mg-rich with clay d060 XRD peaks between 1.506-1.523. EMPA indicated (Al2O3 + Fe2O3)/MgO ratios ranged from 0.2-4.8, 21 had ratios >1.0, indicating higher (Al2O3 + Fe2O3) content. These clay data correlated with bulk XRF data, indicating diagenetic controls on bulk composition. Therefore, bulk geochemistry can potentially indicate paleoclimate change when influenced by Mg-rich phyllosilicate formation.
