  • Ice shelf-ocean interactions in a general circulation model : melt-rate modulation due to mean flow and tidal currents 
    Dansereau, Véronique (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Interactions between the ocean circulation in sub-ice shelf cavities and the overlying ice shelf have received considerable attention in the context of observed changes in flow speeds of marine ice sheets around Antarctica. ...
  • The effects of ocean eddies on tropical cyclones 
    Miltenberger, Alexander Reid (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    The purpose of this study is to understand the interactions of tropical cyclones with ocean eddies. In particular we examine the influence of a cold-core eddy on the cold wake formed during the passage of Typhoon Fanapi ...
  • Assessing United States hurricane damage under different environmental conditions 
    Maheras, Anastasia Francis (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    Hurricane activity between 1979 and 2011 was studied to determine damage statistics under different environmental conditions. Hurricanes cause billions of dollars of damage every year in the United States, but damage ...
  • Weakening of ice by magnesium perchlorate hydrate 
    Lenferink, Hendrik J., 1985- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    I show that perchlorate hydrates, which have been indirectly detected at high Martian circumpolar latitudes by the Phoenix Mars Lander, have a dramatic effect upon the rheological behavior of polycrystalline water ice under ...
  • Feasibility-study for space-based transit photometry using mid-sized nanosatellites 
    Bowens-Rubin, Rachel (Rachel A.) (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
    The photometric precision needed to measure a transit of small planets cannot be achieved by taking observations from the ground, so observations must be made from space. Mid-sized nanosatellites can provide a low-cost ...
