LARGE SCALE HIGH-FREQUENCY SEISMIC WAVEFIELD RECONSTRUCTION, ACQUISITION VIA RANK MINIMIZATION AND SPARSITY-PROMOTING SOURCE ESTIMATION
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-11-30)Seismic data reconstruction on a dense periodic grid from seismic data acquired on a coarse grid is a common approach followed by most of the oil & gas companies. This approach allows them to save on operationally challenging ... -
Plasma Interaction Signatures of Plumes at Europa
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-11-02)We present a systematic modeling framework for the identification of water vapor plumes in plasma and magnetic field data from spacecraft flybys of Jupiter's moon Europa. In particular, we determine the degree to which ... -
PACIFIC TELECONNECTIONS DYNAMICS IN A CHANGING CLIMATE: THEORIES, OBSERVATIONS, AND MODELS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-09-09)Pacific climate and weather extreme events such as heatwaves, drought, and hydrological extremes are dynamically linked large-scale climate variability. This work aims at improving the current understanding of the role of ... -
Atlantic meridional overturning circulation variability since the last glaciation: Insights from a novel multiproxy approach
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-11-11)Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) transports warm surface water northward across the equator, carrying heat from the Southern to the Northern Hemisphere. AMOC plays a central role in the global redistribution ... -
Dynamics, variability, and model representations of U.S. hydrological extremes
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-11-07)Hydrological extremes, including both extreme precipitation events and droughts, have profound impacts on human life, health, and socioeconomic well-being. U.S. hydrological extremes are dynamically connected to large-scale ... -
A Proposed Improvement for Measuring Hydroxylamine in Seawater
Hydroxylamine is a chemical intermediate in the nitrogen cycle that can quickly react via biotic and abiotic processes to yield nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. Because of its high reactivity, hydroxylamine tends ... -
Microcat, Aquadopp, and ADCP data from the 2016-2018 Labrador Sea eastern boundary mooring array as part of OSNAP (Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program)
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-10-15)The Overturning of the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP) is an effort to determine the strength of the meridional overturning circulation and associated heat and freshwater fluxes in the subpolar North Atlantic. ... -
Improved understanding of earthquake interaction with waveform matching method
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-08-03)As one of the most common geological phenomena, earthquake occurs in various tectonic settings, such as fault zone along plate boundaries, volcanoes, and oil/gas production sites. The stress changes caused by large earthquake ... -
Understanding the role of formic acid in fine and coarse particle mode
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-07-21)Formic acid partitioning was investigated at two sites in the southeast U.S., Yorkville, GA and Jefferson Street (JST). Previous studies in the southeast have shown that observed formic acid partitioning to fine particles ... -
Prominent contribution of hydrogen peroxide to intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated upon exposure to naphthalene secondary organic aerosols (SOA)
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-07-26)Multiple studies have found an association between exposure to particulate matter (PM) and adverse health endpoints. One of the suggested mechanisms in which inhalable particles exert damage is by inducing the overproduction ... -
A comprehensive study of Titan's magnetic pile-up region during the Cassini era
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-04-28)While Saturn's largest moon Titan is devoid of an intrinsic magnetic field, draping of the giant planet's magnetospheric field around Titan's ionosphere generates a pile-up region at the moon's ramside. In this study, we ... -
