  • The marine biogeochemistry of chromium isotopes 
    Moos, Simone Beatrice (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    In the ocean, chromium (Cr) is a redox-sensitive trace metal. The reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) occurs in oxygen deficient zones (ODZs), and Cr reduction in general has been identified as a significant Cr isotope fractionation ...
  • Carbon and mineral transformations in seafloor serpentinization systems 
    Grozeva, Niya G (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    This thesis examines abiotic processes controlling the transformation and distribution of carbon compounds in seafloor hydrothermal systems hosted in ultramafic rock. These processes have a direct impact on carbon budgets ...
  • Water and volatile element accretion to the inner planets 
    Sarafian, Adam Robert, 1986- (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    This thesis investigates the timing and source(s) of water and volatile elements to the inner solar system by studying the basaltic meteorites angrites and eucrites. In chapters 2 and 3, I present the results from angrite ...
  • An investigation of basin-scale controls on upper ocean export and remineralization 
    Black, Erin E (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    The biological carbon pump (BCP) helps to moderate atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by bringing carbon to the deep ocean, where it can be sequestered on timescales of centuries to millennia. Climate change is predicted ...
  • Attribution of stratospheric ozone change and associated climate impacts 
    Bandoro, Justin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
    Recognition of stratospheric ozone depletion as a significant global danger sparked the landmark international agreement of the Montreal Protocol to control the production of ozone depleting substances (ODSs). There are ...
