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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
