Measuring present-day strain rates along the Fish Lake Valley fault system, Pacific-North America plate boundary
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-05-07)
The eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) is located east of the San Andreas fault and contains a complex network of structures that accommodate ~25% of the relative displacement between the Pacific and North American plates. ...
Reactive transport in natural porous media: contaminant sorption and pore-scale heterogeneity
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-22)
Reactive Transport Models (RTMs) provide quantitative tools to analyze the interaction between transport and biogeochemical processes in subsurface environments such as aquatic sediments and groundwater flow. A tremendous ...
Bayesian Hierarchical Models to augment the Mediterranean Forecast System
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-02-15)
Aerosol characterization in the Southeastern U. S. using satellite data for applications to air quality and climate
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-01-19)
Tropospheric aerosol information from NASA satellites in space has reached the milestone of ten years of continuous measurements. These higher resolution satellite aerosol records allow for a broader regional perspective ...
Using flow through reactors to study the non-reductive biomineralization of uranium phosphate minerals
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-04-06)
Uranium contaminations of the subsurface in the vicinity of nuclear materials processing sites pose a health risk as the uranyl ion in its oxidized state, U(VI), is highly mobile in aquifers. Current remediation strategies ...
Beryllium-10 derived erosion rates from the Hangay Mountains, Mongolia: landscape evolution in a periglacially-dominated continental interior
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-27)
Terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides such as beryllium-10 have recently been used as a way to determine basin-average erosion rates around the world. These erosion rates are useful to geomorphologists investigating landscape ...
Interpreting thermodenuder data with an optimizing instrument model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-11-14)
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) generated through the partitioning of gas phase volatile organic carbon compounds (VOCs) into the condensed phase has both epidemiological and climatic impacts through the growth of particulate ...
Development and testing of a fluorometric method and instrument based on the 2',7' dichlorodihydrofluorescin assay for the measurement of reactive oxygen species
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-11-14)
An online, semi-continuous instrument to measure both total and gas phase atmospheric reactive oxygen species (ROS) and determine the concentration of ROS in the particle phase (ROS(p)) was developed. This instrument was ...
Delayed triggering of early aftershocks by multiple surface waves circling the earth
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2012-08-27)
It is well known that direct surface waves of large earthquakes are capable of triggering shallow earthquakes and deep tremor at long-range distances. Recent studies have shown that multiple surface waves circling the ...
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 ...
