(2019-12-11)This thesis reports crystallization ages for the Elk Hill Volcanic Complex (EHVC) and for the Pegmatite Belt (PB) in the central Appalachian Piedmont of Virginia. ID-TIMS U-Pb zircon geochronology yield an intercept age ... -
The geologic mapping and history of the Guánica quadrangle, southwestern Puerto Rico
(2009-05)The geologic mapping of the Guánica Quadrangle provided a better understanding of the geology of the southwestern Puerto Rico. Six formations were defined and described: 1) the Santonian or older Basaltic Andesite -
Geology and structure of the north Boquerón Bay- Punta Montalva Fault System
(2010)The North Boquerón Bay-Punta Montalva Fault Zone is an active fault system that cuts across the Lajas Valley in southwestern Puerto Rico. The fault zone has been recognized and mapped based upon detailed analysis of ... -
Geometric scale-space framework for the analysis of hyperspectral imagery
(2007)This work introduces a framework for a fast and algorithmically scalable multiscale representation and segmentation of hyperspectral imagery. The framework is based on the scale-space representation generated by geometric ... -
Geomorphic and geophysical characterization of the north Boquerón Bay-Punta Montalva fault zone: A capable fault system in southwestern Puerto Rico
(2017)Mapping of near surface deformation of landforms and geologic deposits were characterized and completed on LiDAR and geophysical data along the North Boquerón Bay-Punta Montalva Fault Zone (NBB-PMFZ). A sandy shutter ridge ... -
Geophysical exploration and characterization of the Yauco formation at the UPRM Hydrologic Study Site, Mayagüez, P.R.
(2010)This investigation characterizes the physical properties of the subsurface geology of the UPRM Hydrologic Study Site using surface geophysical techniques to generate a geological model that explains the hydraulic observations ... -
