Seasonal and interannual variability in the hydrology and geochemistry of an outlet glacier of the Greenland Ice Sheet
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)In the spring and summer within the ablation zone of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), meltwater drains to the ice sheet bed through an evolving network of efficient channelized and inefficient distributed drainage systems. ... -
The seasonal and interannual variability of the West Greenland current system in the Labrador Sea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)The Labrador Sea, as one of a few places of deep water formation, plays an important role in the Meridional Overturning Circulation. While the interior of the Labrador Sea, where the deepest convection takes place, is known ... -

Seasonal dynamics in costal aquifers : investigation of submarine groundwater discharge through field measurements and numerical models
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The fresh and saline groundwater flowing from coastal aquifers into the ocean comprise submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). This outflow is an important pathway for the transport of nutrients and contaminants, and has ... -

Seasonality in commercial real estate transaction volume and capital returns
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In this thesis I examine the existence of seasonality in quarterly transaction volume and capital returns in commercial real estate markets from 1984 to 2005, based on MIT's Transaction-Based Index. Evidence is provided ... -
Seawater as coagulant substitute and the effects on disinfection in chemically enhanced primary wastewater treatment : a case study of Paraty, Brazil and the Deer Island wastewater treatment plant, Boston
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Paraty is a small touristic city on the South Eastern coast of Brazil plagued with public health problems inherently linked to its poor water and sanitation practices. This thesis centers on the design of an appropriate ... -
Seawater circulation in coastal aquifers : processes and impacts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This thesis explores the subterranean domain of chemical cycling in coastal oceans abutting permeable aquifers, where transport through sediments is dominated by advection, rather than diffusion. We investigate the mechanisms ... -
Seaweed : a Web application for designing economic games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Seaweed is a web application for experimental economists with no programming background to design two-player symmetric games in a visual-oriented interface. Games are automatically published to the web where players can ... -
A second generation URANS approach for application to aerodynamic design and optimization in the automotive industry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)In the U.S., transportation is responsible for approximately 70% of all petroleum consumption and is now the largest source of carbon emissions and air pollution. Aerodynamics is an important aspect for energy saving and ... -
Second Harmonic Generation in Silicon Photonic Crystal Resonators for Quantum Optic Applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-02)A possible way of achieving all-photonic classical and quantum logic gates is with dynamically coupled photonic crystal cavities. A silicon architecture that has octave-separated resonances with high quality factor, low ... -
Second home real estate market : economic analysis of residential pricing behavior near Heavenly Ski Resort, CA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)This paper examines a second home market near Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe, CA to understand historical pricing behaviors and to forecast future prices using an econometric model derived from economic, demographic, ... -
Second language learning from a multilingual perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)How do people learn a second language? In this thesis, we study this question through an examination of cross-linguistic transfer: the role of a speaker's native language in the acquisition, representation, usage and ...
