Technological progress and environmental regulation as drivers of productivity growth : evidence from the U.S. coal industry, 1972-1994
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1996)
HSPF modeling of the Charles River Watershed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis develops a hydrological and water quality model of the Charles River Watershed in eastern Massachusetts. The model used for this project is HSPF, an EPA-sponsored continuous simulation model. Based on land use ...
Use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to aid in siting dredged material disposal areas
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Dredging of the ports and waterways in the United States has implications for the economy and military preparedness and is hampered by a lack of disposal areas. Current dredged material disposal site selection methodologies ...
Using HSPF to evaluate stormwater Best Management Practices in the Charles River Watershed
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
This thesis describes how the hydrologic computer model HSPF was used to model hydrologic and sediment transport in the Charles River Watershed and subsequently to evaluate stormwater management practices in the watershed. ...
National environmental & sustainability strategies for automobiles in Thailand

Should we fertilize the oceans? : examining the science, economics and policy of the iron hypothesis & ocean fertilization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
John Martin's 'iron hypothesis' (Martin, 1990), and the subsequent ground-breaking IRONEX experiments (Martin 1994, Coale 1996) have stimulated wide spread speculation about the concept of fertilizing the oceans. It has ...
Managing privately produced rail transit systems : a case study of Tren Urbano
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Intercomparison of soil hydrology modules in the MIT Integrated Global System Model for analysis of climate issues
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
The availability of water at or near the surface determines the way incident radiative energy is partitioned at the ground surface. The goal of this thesis is to determine if better hydrological representation in the MIT ...
