Cross borehole induced polarization to detect subsurface NAPL at the Savannah River Site, South Carolina
… panels within four boreholes at the Savannah River Site. The investigation was performed to delineate the presence of dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPL) which were periodically released from the 1950's through the 1980's at the A-14. Measurements were made at 1/4 and 1/16 Hertz …

New Approaches In Hydrogeophysical Model Predictions: Case Studies From theP Reactor Area, Savannah River Site, South Carolina
… tomography (ERT) data collected at a contaminant site located in the vicinity of the P Reactor at Savannah River Site, South Carolina. These near-surface geophysical methods provide information at different scales of resolution, making it difficult to model the heterogeneity of the shallow …

A geophysical investigation of geologic structure and regional tectonic setting at the Savannah River site, South Carolina
… seismic reflection data recorded at the Savannah River Site (SRS), South Carolina. These maps indicate the presence of three major basement blocks bounded by northeast trending faults that penetrate upward from basement into the Atlantic Coastal Plain sediments. Most of these faults are …

Assortative Mating in <em>Ixodes Scapularis</em> (Acari: Ixodidae) Ticks? And <em>Ixodes Scapularis</em> Infest Male Deer More Often Than Female Deer at Savannah River Site, (Aiken, SC)
… of ticks collected in copula from deer at the Savannah River Site (Aiken, SC) showed that ticks assigned to mitochondrial (12SrDNA and d-loop genes) phylogenetic monophyletic clades do not chose their mating partner based on genetic similarity or genetic diversity. The genetic composition of …

Gwadapt: An adaptive finite element algorithm for groundwater contaminant transport problems
… to models of two nuclear waste repository sites; The computer program used in this study was modified for execution on the Cray Y-MP supercomputer. Optimization of the code was undertaken for maximum efficiency and economy on the Cray Y-MP processor, and to reduce run times for several of …

A hydrogeochemical investigation of metalliferous coal pile runoff and its interaction with soil and groundwater
… containment basin at the Department of Energy's Savannah River Site were collected and subjected to leaching with the acidic, metalliferous coal pile runoff. Columns were packed to bulk densities of 1.5 Mg m³ and subjected to steady, saturated flows of 0.2 and 1.3 cm h⁻¹, Effluent was collected …

Stochastic analysis of dense nonaqueous phase liquid dissolution in naturally heterogeneous subsurface systems
… of the extrapolation of the latter. Four field sites with different geological settings and hydraulic characteristics are evaluated using effective properties: the Borden site, the Cape Cod aquifer, the Savannah River Site and the Hanford site.

Spatial Patterns in a 40-year-old Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) Forest in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina
A study was conducted at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, SC to: 1) characterize the spatial patterns of soil and forest floor variables (moisture, pH, soil phosphate, forest floor and soil carbon and nitrogen, and soil available nitrogen), 2) assess the spatial patterns of the plant community, …

A 3-dimensional finite element method for groundwater flow and containment transport
… numerical model was applied to two nuclear waste sites; Two test cases were run. The first one was the Savannah River Site, located in Aiken, South Carolina (SRS). The SRS has been storing radioactive waste material for several decades. Numerous studies as well as field data for the properties of …

Shallow subsurface deformation along the Pen Branch Fault in South Carolina: interpretation from seismic refraction stack sections
… (Late Cretaceous to Recent in age) of the Savannah River site in South Carolina. The fault movement has occurred through Late Cretaceous to Tertiary. Faulting might penetrate as shallow as the Dry Branch and the Tobacco Road Sand Formations (Late Eocene). An investigation with high …

Factors influencing the space use of a nonhunted population of eastern wild turkeys
… non-mating seasons of 2020 and 2021 on the Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, in order to assess seasonal space use of male wild turkeys in a nonhunted population. In addition, I looked for evidence of cooperative courtship and kin selection operating in this population. I used …

Spatio-temporal patterns of soil resources following disturbance in a 40-year-old slash pine (pinus elliottii Engelm.) forest in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina
… Pinus elliottii Engelm. forest at the Savannah River Site near Aiken, SC, USA with the following specific objectives: 1) to characterize the spatial patterns of soil and forest floor variables (moisture, pH, soil available nitrogen and phosphate, forest floor and soil carbon and …

The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, in early-successional coastal plain forests: tests of distribution and interaction strength
… In upland coastal plain pine forests at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, I conducted two studies of fire ant ecology. In my first study (chapter 1), I investigated the way in which fire ants colonize early-successional road and powerline cuts through forests, and I tested whether …
