Experimental studies of melting and crystallization processes in planetary interiors
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Melting and crystallization processes on the Earth and Moon are explored in this thesis, and the topics of melt generation, transport, and crystallization are discussed in three distinct geologic environments: the Moon's ...
Lipid biomarkers of coral stress : calibration and exploration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Corals are increasingly threatened by warming sea surface temperatures and other anthropogenic changes. The delicate symbiosis between corals and their algal endosymbionts (zooxanthellae) is easily disrupted by thermal ...
The biogeochemistry of marine nitrous oxide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Atmospheric nitrous oxide N₂O concentrations have been rising steadily for the past century as a result of human activities. In particular, human perturbation of the nitrogen cycle has increased the N₂O production rates ...
