(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1975-12) -
Temporal change of seismic velocity and site response for different scales and implications for nonlinearity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-07-10)This thesis consists of two major parts. In the first part, I monitor the temporal change of S-wave velocity in shallow soil layers using seismic data collected in an experiment at Panola Mt. Atlanta, GA, 2006. I use the ... -
Temporal changes of shear wave velocity and anisotropy in the shallow crust induced by the 10/22/1999 m6.4 Chia-yi, Taiwan earthquake
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-04-09)Temporal changes of seismic velocity and anisotropy in the shallow crust are quantified using local earthquakes recorded at a 200-m-deep borehole station CHY in Taiwan. This station is located directly above the hypocenter ... -
Temporal variations in slip-rate along the Lone Mountain fault, Western Nevada
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-04-08)Late Pleistocene displacement along the Lone Mountain fault suggests the Silver Peak-Lone Mountain (SPLM) extensional complex is an important structure in accommodating and transferring strain within the eastern California ... -
Temporal variations of monsoon systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-09-09)It has been proposed that the Asian-Australasian monsoon system is influenced by large-scale sea-surface temperature (SST) variability in the three tropical oceans although how this influence is manifested has remained a ... -
Terrain and tornadogenesis in Georgia (1950-1998)
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2002-05) -
Testing molecular mechanisms for growth and dissolution reactions on calcite surfaces
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-01-31) -
The biogeochemical source and role of soluble organic-Fe(III) complexes in continental margin sediments
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-09-10)In the past couple of decades, the discovery that iron is a limiting nutrient in large regions of the ocean has spurred much research into characterizing the biogeochemical controls on iron cycling. While Fe(II) is soluble ... -
The development and utilization of a new droplet freezing assay
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-12-08)A droplet freezing assay (DFA) was developed for the testing of ice nucleation of various atmospheric particles. The primary focus within this thesis is on the development, calibration, and testing of bacterial samples; ... -
The effect of climate and aerosol on crop production: a case study of central Asia
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-07-10)The effect of recent climate change in Central Asia poses a significant and potentially serious challenge to the region’s agricultural sector. An investigation of the aerosol-climate- crop yield correlation in this region ... -
The impacts of atmospheric radiation on studies of planetary habitability
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-07-26)The conditions required for Earth-like life to emerge on a planet are thought to include the presence of liquid water, the availability of energy, the existence of organic material, and shielding from high energy charged ... -
The nature and dynamics of rapid spring onset in the Arctic
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-03-15)The Arctic atmospheric circulation undergoes a systematic rapid seasonal transition each year from late winter to early spring. At stratospheric and upper-tropospheric levels, this transition is dominated by an abrupt break ... -
The patterns of polar near-surface ozone associated with various atmospheric conditions
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-03-24)Understanding the spatiotemporal pattern of near-surface ozone is the key part of polar atmospheric environment. The near-surface ozone can be depleted by the catalytic bromine chemistry in the heterogeneous phase but ... -
The planetary scale circulation of the upper tropical troposphere and its influence on tropical weather
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-11-07)Through observational analyses, we suggest that the upper tropospheric potential vorticity (PV) field has an effect on the lower troposphere during the South Asian monsoon. We show that the variability of the upper ... -
The preservation, distribution, and detectability of lipid biomarkers in the Atacama desert and implications for Mars
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-07-13)Desert environments on Earth are colonized by organisms adapted to desiccation. We hypothesized that extreme and prolonged dryness might impart too great a challenge for microbial survival. To test this, we surveyed ... -
The role of meridional modes in pacific climate variability and change
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-11-13)Decadal changes in Pacific climate affect long-term transitions in marine ecosystems and influence the statistics of weather including ocean and atmosphere extremes such as strong droughts, hurricanes and marine heatwaves. ... -
The spatial structure and interannual variability of California current system
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05-15)The California Current is the Eastern Boundary Current associated with the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, transporting cold, nutrient-rich water equatorward. It is also an area of strong mesoscale eddy variance, as well ...
