Radium cycling in groundwater : implications for bioremediation and tracer studies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Radium (Ra) is a radioactive alkaline earth element and forms naturally from the decay of uranium (U) and thorium (Th), elements that are ubiquitous within most rocks, soils and sediments. Radium contamination associated ... -
A novel trimodal sensor for eddy correlation measurements of benthic flux in aquatic environments
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Quantifying chemical fluxes between natural waters and their benthic sediments is a central problem in biogeochemistry, yet it is notoriously challenging. A relatively new method for measuring benthic fluxes, Eddy Correlation ... -
Modeling personal vehicle energy consumption to assess the potential for electrification and decarbonization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)This thesis develops a new model of the energy requirements of personal vehicle travel and uses it to evaluate tools to decarbonize the transport sector. Energy use and carbon emissions from transportation are spread across ...
