Significant unconformities and the hiatuses represented by them in the Paleogene of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province Significant unconformities and the hiatuses represented by them in the Paleogene of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province

A biostratigraphic, chronostratigraphic, and magnetostratigraphic model has been calibrated to produce a new time scale for the Paleogene. The model gives the biostratigraphic position and duration represented by significant unconformities in three areas of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Province: 1) western and central Alabama; 2) South Carolina; and 3) central Virginia to southwestern...

Volatilization of chlorinated hydrocarbons from water Volatilization of chlorinated hydrocarbons from water

Coefficients for the volatilization from water of 1,1,1-trichloroethane and 1,2-dichloroethane were measured in a stirred tank. Experiments at constant mixing conditions over a wide range of concentrations showed that the volatilization coefficient was independent of concentration, confirming the assumption that volatilization is a first order process. Simultaneous measurements of the
