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 ...
Uneven mobility : injustice in accessibility and urban experimentation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
We all transport ourselves from place to place to live life in this connected world. Academics call the ease by which we can do so accessibility. Yet, the uneven distribution of accessibility, particularly the immobility ...
Driving segments analysis for energy and environmental impacts of worsening traffic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
During the last two decades, traffic congestion in the U.S. has increased from 30% to 67% of peak period travel. Further, current research shows that measures taken within transportation systems, such as adding capacity, ...
Contactless prepaid and bankcards in transit fare collection systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
Many public transit agencies are considering direct acceptance of contactless credit and debit cards (collectively contactless bankcards) at gates in rail stations and on board buses. Concerns have been raised about riders ...
Impact of European Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) on carbon emissions and investment decisions in the power sector
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This masters thesis assesses the impact of a emissions trading on short-term carbon abatement and investment decisions in the power sector. Environmental benefits from carbon abatement due to emissions trading are quantified ...
The economic impact of global climate and tropospheric oxone on world agricultural production
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The objective of my thesis is to analyze the economic impact on agriculture production from changes in climate and tropospheric ozone, and related policy interventions. The analysis makes use of the Emissions Prediction ...
The supply chain response to environmental pressures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Understanding and shaping the relationship between supply chain management and the natural environment is critical not only to human health and the environment, but to the future success of business. While the cumulative ...
Clean energy investments in an uncertain future
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The energy sector faces a multitude of challenges related to climate change and energy security. These challenges will likely prompt considerable changes in the coming decades, including significant investment and new ...
Taiwan's industrial structural change and its implication on energy intensity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
The objective of this thesis is to analyze how the shift in industrial mix had contributed to the energy intensity in Taiwan. The concern for energy intensity is mainly because it is directly related to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) ...
Can we reduce parking at MIT : design and development of a functional commuter dashboard
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)
This thesis presents the design, development and initial implementation of a new commuter dashboard tool entitled AccessMyCommute for use by all MIT employees. This is the first in a series of new commuter benefit incentives ...
