Stone age landscape use in the Olifants River Valley, Western Cape
… in the Western Cape, South Africa. Stone Age surface assemblages are all too often neglected in favour of stratified, datable cave sequences, overlooking important insights into changing behavioural patterns at a broader scale. The Olifants River Valley offers the opportunity for integrating a …

Shackleford Banks: Applying Archaeological and Geospatial Approaches to Maritime Settlement and Abandonment
Shackleford Banks, North Carolina is a 14.5-kilometer barrier island that has not been permanently inhabited by humans in over a century. Before it was abandoned in the beginning of the 20th century, this island had been occupied since at least the mid-eighteenth century by European colonists. …

Speleogenesis and Delineation of Megaporosity and Karst Geohazards Through Geologic Cave Mapping and LiDAR Analyses Associated with Infrastructure in Culberson County, Texas
… this study, a combination of both physical field surveys and analyses of high resolution (~30 cm accuracy) LiDAR data was used to create a theoretical model for karst development across the region. This idealized model considers speleogenetic formation type variations (hypogene and epigene), the …

Variation and modernity in Middle Stone Age landscape use in the Western and Northern Cape, South Africa
… this imbalance by studying the open-air surface artefact record of the inland, arid Tankwa Karoo in the Western and Northern Cape regions of South Africa. This dissertation aims to establish the pattern of landscape use for past humans occupying the Tankwa Karoo, identifying adaptations …

Investigating the Life History, Demography, and Thermal Tolerances of Rare and Endangered Freshwater Mussels (Bivalvia: Unionidae) in the Upper Tennessee River Basin
… a depth that is beyond detectability during the surface surveys traditionally used to locate and monitor L. holstonia. This burrowing behavior may be important for mussels seeking thermal refuge, as a sediment temperature analysis indicates that sediment temperatures were often less variable …

Characterizing flow resistance in high gradient mountain streams, Fraser Experimental Forest, Colorado
… flow resistance. Detailed channel and water surface surveys were conducted on 15 mountain stream reaches (nine step-pool channels, five cascade channels, and one plane-bed channel) using a tripod-mounted Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanner and laser theodolite. Reach-average …
