• 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 ...

• Hydrothermally Altered Basalt as a Source for Indium in Ore Deposits 

  Hollingsworth, John Walter (2018)

  Indium is an element integral to various emerging technologies. Despite the demand for indium, little is known about its geochemical behavior in hydrothermal systems that generate economic deposits. The aim of this study ...

• Climate Change During Intervals Of The Past Millennium In The Southwestern Tropical Pacific 

  Lopatka, Alex (2018)

  Limited observations from the tropical Pacific over the past millennium make it difficult to assess whether different time periods had significant variations in El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) amplitude and frequency. ...
