An economic study of the property of the Tide Water Trap Rock Company at Branford, Conn.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1904) -
Effectiveness of microseismic monitoring for optimizing hydraulic fracturing in California
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)Hydraulic fracturing has fundamentally changed the oil and gas industry in the past 10 years. Bakersfield, California provides a unique case study because steam injection, a type of hydraulic fracturing, has been used there ... -
The effects of orientation on ground penetrating radar
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)This paper discusses how changes in the orientation of a Ground Penetrating Radar's receiver with respect to its transmitter can affect the detection of radar pulses by the receiver. The orientation changes discussed in ... -
The effects of range and height on radar measurements of storms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1978) -
Effects of space weathering on the Trojan asteroids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Trojan asteroids orbit at Jupiter's L4 and L5 points. They are included in the D-class of asteroids because of their steep spectral slope. According to spectra of other asteroid classes, the larger the diameter is of a ... -
Effects of various flotation reagents on a copper sulfide ore, ore number 6271
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1932) -
The effects of volcanic aerosols on mid-latitude ozone recovery
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this paper, comparisons between the derived Chemistry Climate Model Initiative aerosol data set to balloon sonde measurements of aerosols made in Laramie, Wyoming are made between 1979- 2012. Using the derived CCMI ... -
Elemental and reactive gaseous mercury deposition and diurnal cycles over terrestrial environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The atmospheric component of the global biogeochemical mercury cycle was studied to determine the mechanisms behind diurnal trends and amplitudes in elemental and reactive gaseous mercury concentrations over terrestrial ... -
Engineering geology of the Dorchester Bay area pertaining to urban development of Thompson Island,
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1968) -
Establishing an unambiguous connection between grain size and style of sediment transport in the Lower Niobrara River, Nebraska, USA
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The transport of sediment is often separated into two components, bedload and suspended load. This division is important because bedload has a dominant control on channel morphology while suspended load dominates the ... -
Evaluating the relationship between the temperature response to volcanic aerosols and climate sensitivity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Climate sensitivity is an important concept in climate science, but its estimated value has considerable uncertainty. Some previous studies have argued for a link between the temperature response to volcanic radiative ... -
Evaluating the use of Sr, Pb, and U isotopes for fingerprinting surface and groundwaters in southern New Hampshire
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Increased pressure on fresh water reserves in southern New Hampshire requires new methods for monitoring exploitation. In a pilot study, surface water and groundwater samples from southern New Hampshire were analyzed for ... -
Evidence of thermal equilibration in large-scale atmospheric blocking episodes over Europe and the North Atlantic during winter
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Atmospheric thermal equilibration occurs when all thermal forcings diminish. Characteristics of equilibration include low diabatic heating and calm conditions throughout the atmospheric column. Large-scale planetary waves ... -
The evolutionary state of the β CMa variable stars.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
An examination of trace element concentrations across calcite/aragonite transitions in a Madagascan stalagmite
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)Calcite and aragonite speleothems have been used for the past few decades to provide paleoclimate information, but in speleothems of mixed mineralogy the signal of mineral changes can complicate understanding of climate ... -
Excursion to the Tilly Foster Iron Mine
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1883) -
Experimental study of some factors affecting oil migration and accumulation in oil sands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1920) -
Experiments on the manufacture of cast iron from Katahdin and Manhattan iron ores in the Institute blast furnace
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1878) -
Exploring the microbe-mediated soil H² sink : a lab-based study of the physiology and related H² consumption of isolates from the Harvard Forest LTER
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Atmospheric hydrogen (H²) is a secondary greenhouse gas that attenuates the removal of methane (CH⁴) from the atmosphere. The largest and least understood term in the H² biogeochemical cycle, microbe-mediated soil uptake, ... -
Feasibility of using cloud top altimetry for estimating tropical cyclone intensity estimation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)This project explores whether cloud top altimetry can be used as an accurate and reliable means of estimating the intensity of tropical cyclones. Professor Kerry A. Emanuel developed the theory that is under investigation. ...
