Another one bites the host: driving forces of increased complex life-cycle parasite traces during the holocene as affected by sea-level rise in Northern Adriatic, Po Plain Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] Holocene deposits of the Adriatic coastal plain are rich with clams parasitized by trematodes (complex life cycle parasites), as indicated by diagnostic pits on the interior of their valves. ... -
Biotic interactions in the fossil record: an investigation on the patterns of predation and parasitism of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] The present study investigated for patterns of predation and parasitism among a collection of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida. The processed sample yielded 2010 ... -
Constraining the slip rate of the Owl Lake Fault by using LiDAR data and fault scarp degradation models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] The Owl Lake Fault is an active, 19 to 25-km-long, left-lateral strike-slip fault that divaricates NE from the Garlock Fault toward Death Valley in eastern California and transfers regional strain ... -
Geochronologic and thermochronologic constraints on the mesozoic to cenozoic deformation history of southeastern california
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] Southeastern California hosts a complex zone of deformation defined by structures related to the San Andreas fault, such as the sinistral Garlock fault and the largely dextral eastern California ... -
Spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes and their implications for earthquake hazards
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2023] This work focuses on characterizing spatiotemporal patterns of earthquakes, their possible causes, and their implications for seismic hazard assessment. I studied both local and global earthquakes ... -
Structural style of the San Francisco Mountains, Sevier fold-thrust belt, Utah
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] The Sevier fold-thrust belt contains thrust sheets that are overprinted by extensional faults, distorting correlations of geologic structures in the region. The Frisco thrust is exposed within ... -
Vignettes on preservation, preparation, and paleoecology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2023] Preservation exercises strong control over what can be observed and interpreted from the fossil record. The research projects presented here seek to examine the ways in which certain preservational ...
