Characteristics of tornadoes associated with land-falling Gulf Coast tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclone tornadoes are brief and often unpredictable events that can produce fatalities and create considerable economic loss. Given these uncertainties, it is important to understand the characteristics and factors that contribute to tornado formation within tropical cyclones. This thesis …

Late Quaternary variability in coastal changes along the Texas Gulf coast
The majority of the coastal barriers in Texas are retreating landwards, only a few are stable or progradational. The barriers are responding to both external (allogenic) forcings such as relative sea-level and sediment supply, and internal (autogenic) basinal mechanisms such as antecedent …

Anomalies in P wave velocities in the Tampico embayment, Gulf Coast of Mexico
The objective of this study was to discover relationships between seismic velocities and stratigraphic and tectonic zones of possible oil accumulation, by extrapolating velocity relations from known geologic features and oil fields in the Tampico Region. The original velocity data from the Tampico …
