• Characterization of the regional, crustal, and global distribution and abundance of the heat producing elements and their geoneutrino flux 

  Wipperfurth, Scott Alan (2019)

  The amount and distribution of radiogenic power generation from the heat producing elements (HPE) U, Th, and K in the Earth is not well constrained. Compositional estimates of these elements vary by a factor of three in ...

• Origin of the anomalous sulfur isotope composition of the Rustenburg Layered Suite (Bushveld Complex), South Africa 

  de Assis Magalhaes, Nivea Maria (2019)

  The 2.06 Ga Bushveld Magmatic Province (BMP) hosts the largest platinum group element (PGE) reserve of the world that occurs mainly as sulfide-rich layers within the Rustenburg Layered Suite (RLS), and also in mineralized ...

• Effects of Salinization on Base Cation, Nutrient, Carbon, and Trace Metal Biogeochemistry in Human-Impacted Rivers in the Eastern US 

  Haq, Shahan (2018)

  Urbanized watersheds in colder climates experience episodic salinization due to anthropogenic salt inputs and runoff from impervious surfaces. We conducted laboratory experiments and analyzed high-frequency sensor data to ...

• Seismic Observations of Fluvial Energy Dissipation 

  Goodling, Phillip James (2018)

  Observing microseismic waves excited by turbulent flow is an emerging way to document river dynamics during extreme flood events. This thesis records fluvial-seismic observations in two contrasting systems at different ...

• The Earth’s Thorium and Uranium Abundance and Distribution 

  Guo, Meng (2018)

  The abundance and distribution of thorium (Th) and uranium (U) in the Earth can provide important data for constraining its composition, heat budget, and processes of differentiation. This project seeks to constrain the ...
