Coastal Plain of Georgia

Mapping the Spatio-Temporal Evolution of Irrigation in the Coastal Plain of Georgia, USA

This study maps the spatial and temporal evolution of acres irrigated in the Coastal Plain of Georgia over a 38 year period. The goal of this analysis is to create a time-series of irrigated areas in the Coastal Plain of Georgia at a sub-county level. From 1976 through 2013, Landsat images were obtained and sampled at four year intervals to manually detect Center-Pivot irrigation (CPI) systems ...

Distribution and ecology of campylobacters in coastal plain streams (Georgia, United States of America).

Campylobacter is the leading cause of bacterium-associated diarrhea in the United States and most developed countries. While this disease is considered a food-borne disease, many clinical cases cannot be linked to a food source. In rural and agrarian areas environmental transmission may be an important factor contributing to case loads. Here we investigated the waterborne prevalence of campylob...

Re-evaluating the Origin of an Upper Eocene Diamictite in the Coastal Plain of East-central Georgia: an Impactoclastic Layer?

Introduction: An Upper Eocene diamictite, unique in the Coastal Plain stratigraphy of east-central Georgia, has been described as an altered volcaniclastic deposit [1-4] resulting from widespread ashfall or pyroclastic flows [1,2]. While the breccia bed does appear strikingly similar to weathered silicic tuffs (Figure 1), previous authors have never speculated where the Late Eocene volcanic sou...
