Application of Electromagnetic Methods to Identify and Characterize Sub-surface Structures Associated with the Coles Hill Uranium Deposit
The Coles Hill uranium deposit in Pittsylvania County, Virginia represents the largest unmined uranium resource in the United States, with an estimated resource of 110 million pounds of U3O8 in place with a cutoff grade of 0.025 wt% U3O8. The deposit is localized along a geologic unit that …

The Relationship Between Structural and Tectonic Evolution and Mineralization at the Coles Hill Uranium Deposit, Pittsylvania County, Virginia
… associated with uranium mineralization in the Coles Hill uranium deposit by relating the observed metamorphic and structural features (mylonitic foliation and fractures) to regional tectonic activity. Drill cores and outcrops observed in this study show that NE/SW oriented fractures appear to …

Statistical Analysis of the Environmental Geochemistry of an Unmined Uranium Ore Deposit
… management challenges during its lifecycle. Coles Hill, Virginia, represents one such site. The Coles Hill property is the location of uranium-enriched rock, commonly referred to as the Coles Hill uranium deposit. This dissertation outlines study design, sampling, and statistical analysis …

Origin of Uranium Mineralization at Coles Hill Virginia (USA) and its Natural Attenuation within an Oxidizing Rock-Soil-Ground Water System
… geologic systems. The following study of the Coles Hill uranium deposit and associated weathered zone constrains processes leading to the natural attenuation of uranium within an oxidizing, fluid rich environment typical of the eastern US. At the Coles Hill deposit fracture hosted, primary …

Evaluation of Fracture Flow at the Coles Hill Uranium Deposit in Pittsylvania County, VA using Electrical Resistivity, Bore Hole Logging, Pumping Tests, and Age Dating Methods
The Coles Hill uranium deposit in Pittsylvania County, VA, is the largest un-mined uranium deposit in the United States. The deposit is located in the Virginia Piedmont in a geologic unit located immediately west of the Chatham Fault, which separates the granitic rocks of the Virginia Piedmont to …

Hydraulic Modeling of a River Network for Predicting Flood Inundation using HEC-RAS and GIS Models - A Case Study in Southern Virginia
A flood inundation study is presented for a watershed located in south central Virginia. A HEC-RAS hydrodynamic model of the main river network was developed to assess the impact of a number of hydrologic events, including the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF), in the area of interest. The primary goal …

Hydrologic Modeling of a Probable Maximum Precipitation Event Using HEC-HMS and GIS Models - A Case Study of Two Watersheds in Southern Virginia-
Presented in this thesis is a case study of two study watersheds located in south central Virginia. For each, a HEC-HMS event-based hydrologic model was constructed to simulate the rainfall-runoff response from the Probable Maximum Storm (PMS), the theoretical worst-case meteorological event that …
