31	Investigations at Kinlock (22SU526), a Freshwater Mussel Shell Ring in the Delta Region of Mississippi Carlock, James Bradley 11 December 2015 (has links) Kinlock is a freshwater mussel shell ring site located in Sunflower County in the Mississippi Delta. Little work has been done at freshwater mussel shell rings, and therefore little is known about them. This thesis uses four different data collection methods to answer questions of chronology, site layout, etc. These four methods are controlled surface collection, excavation, coring, and magnetometry. Based on the results of these methods, Kinlock was found to be a Woodland period mussel shell ring with a later Mississippian period component built on top of the shell. This later component consisted of five mounds situated around a plaza. It was also found that the plaza was planned and maintained from the Woodland period through the Mississippian period, until the site was abandoned.

32	Defining viable solar resource locations in the Southeast United States using the satellite-based GLASS product Kavanagh, Jolie 09 August 2022 (has links) (PDF) This research uses satellite data and the moment statistics to determine if solar farms can be placed in the Southeast US. From 2001-2019, the data are analyzed in reference to the Southwest US, where solar farms are located. The clean energy need is becoming more common; therefore, more locations than arid environments must be observed. The Southeast US is the main location of interest due to the warm, moist environment throughout the year. This research uses the Global Land Surface Satellite (GLASS) photosynthetically active radiation product (PAR) to determine viable locations for solar panels. A probability density function (PDF) along with the moment statistics are utilized to determine statistic thresholds from solar farms in the Southwest US. For the Southeast US, three major locations were determined to be a viable option: Mississippi Delta, Northwest Florida, and Southwestern Alabama. This research shows that solar farms can be efficient in areas with more convective cloud cover, such as the Southeast US.
