Enhancement of fine particle deposition to permeable sediments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Predictions of deposition rate are integral to the transport of many constituents including contaminants, organic matter, and larvae. Review of the literature demonstrates a general appreciation for the potential control ...
Ecology and population structure of vibrionaceae in the coastal ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Extensive genetic diversity has been discovered in the microbial world, yet mechanisms that shape and maintain this diversity remain poorly understood. This thesis investigates to what extent populations of the ...
Direct and indirect photoreactions of chromophoric dissolved organic matter : roles of reactive oxygen species and iron
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Photochemical transformations of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) are one of the principal processes controlling its fate in coastal waters. The photochemical decomposition of CDOM leads to the formation of a ...
